Awesome! What a victory!

Or as I sometimes wonder...."did i pick the right goal weight?" Most times i'm very happy with how I look and feel, because of lifting heavier and eating WAY better... but I'm still 5 pounds from the arbitrary # I picked for my goal weight...

OK good input. Maybe I'll do 30 DS and then Brazil Butt Lift each day? or I can try Insanity.... I just hated the first workout w/ all the burpees and jumping up and down.... is Ripped in 30 pretty similar to 30DS I wonder...

Maybe it's a message from Hans and Franz! Congratulating you and promising to pump you up! Ja!

I'll have to dig out a before pic and learn how to post it... But if you look at my profile pics I've been posting my progress every month. I had about 8 lbs to lose. ( from 143 to 135) I added heavy weights and tracking each day.

My pics might be motivating for someone not looking to lose but get fit... At 44 years old, I've always worked out but I ate too much and the pounds were sloooowly creeping on in my 40's. After my last physical I saw my weight ( used to be mid 130s and now was 143) and I thought "Aww HELL no!" MFP was a life saver in…

BeIng in the front row of any group X class, but especially Zumba motivates me. And the senior citizens that are there almost every day, week in week out. They Rock!

That's awesome, that's a lot of hard work in just a few months. My Hubs and I do P90X too, and we laugh about it all the time bc it just is sooo challenging...you never feel like, "oh I have this beat now..." Its a good thing!

you are so cute in that last picture! you must get such great reactions from people who have seen you get healthy!

Energy Stamina Toning (especially core!) Confidence But for real weight loss you need the clean eating and weight training too!

Way to slay the stripes dragon! ;)

Absolutely, I started lifting heavier weights when I started this journey and I had used the scale of my doctors office that tells all the breakdown of water, Fat, what muscle etc. and when I went back six weeks later I gained almost 3 pounds of muscle

That's super. I've been doing MFP for 60 days and using a heart rate monitor when I exercise. My husband said a great quote that just seem to fit this journey "that which you measure, you treasure." So here's to treasuring our health! e :-)

amazing! you have lost inches and inches :)

awesome! mine was a small goal too...about 10 lbs total....but it takes just as much commitment each day and then maintenance....

I'd probably need to try it twice. Very toxic system I have. And hydrate with a beer.

me too... I think I eat like a normal person but I really try to avoid junk food, processed food...I just don't like the taste of it much. you'll note the past week I was on vacation so I just quick added 1300 cal per day.

Tremendous results ! Way to go, I Love that last picture!

I haven't noticed this myself... Did you google it?

Grandevampire I declare you the yoda of p90x trivia Btw, spellcheck tried to change grande vampire to grand amputee... There's something there...

Sobirion1 Fiona Apple in that sexy video...?

Super cute! If the dress fits, wear it!:flowerforyou:

Uncle Tony!!! Sounds like you HATE 'em.... but you LOVE him!!!

Poor Dreya really rubs me the wrong way! We fast forward past the Dreya Rolls...time waster! So many of those names listed the same line… "I hate it… But I loooove it!" And he has total crazy eyes at that moment.

thanks for the meme link... I love them!

" I'm on the stop eating like a pig" diet. No, I am surrounded by a group of moms who are all jumping on the bandwagon of a $250 , 25 day "cleanse" And of course they're losing weight… But it just feels good to be quietly over here doing my food journaling and working up a sweat everyday.

I haven't, and I think that for many of the exercises you could use your body weight or at least the bands...is there a reason you don't/cant do the free weights?

Yes, I'm doing that right now… Instead of using the app go to the Internet and type in my fitness pal. You may have to login occasionally but usually when I just click on it it knows who I am.

Spagetti squash is awesome! its a bit toothier than real pasta... AL DENTE... I guess... Once I put some leftover roasted cauliflower soup on it and it was practically like fettucini alfredo. YUM!
