Another one... Height: 5'6" HW: 147 CW: 142 LW: 120 GW: 125 Add me :smile:

Hi, I'm similar! -35 -Height 5'6" -CW 142 -GW about 125 I used to run (London marathon 2010!) and still occasionally do though mainly I walk my dogs. Add me?

I need to do this! I'm 5'6" and currently about 142b. Target 127lb, though possibly a bit less if I can make that! Fitting into my skinny wardrobe would mean getting closer to 121lb, but that would also mean having virtually no boobs! My daily calorie goal is 1200-1500 and at the moment I'm slacking a bit on the exercise,…

I'm sorry for your loss.

Hi! Feel free to add me, I'm aiming for 120lbs eventually though I haven't been anywhere near that for years. My weight has gradually crept up until I now weigh as much as I did when 9m pregnant and I feel unhappy with my body. I've suffered from sciatica on and off for almost a year but I'm hoping that the right kind of…

Hi! I'd like to join! SW: 143 CW: 136 GW: 120 (eventually, in an ideal world!) Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (6/01 Sun): 137 6/07 Sat: 136 6/14 Sat: 6/21 Sat: 6/28 Sat: End of Month (6/30 Mon): Total weight lost: 1. Sunbathing and bodyboarding at the beach 2. Preparing for my first year as a full time teacher! 3. Visiting…

I'm aiming for 1220 though I eat back most of my exercise calories! Some days it's absolutely fine, other days I need my treats and I have to work hard for them! Feel free to add me.:smile:

I'm a vegetarian and am aiming for 1200 calories/day. A typical day look something like this: Breakfast: greek yoghurt blended with raspberries and protein powder Lunch: A salad with some cheese or an egg Dinner: Varies, sometimes I'll cook a veggie curry or omelette or have a veggie burger with salad etc. Snacks: Atkins…

3rd September Did I follow my diet today? I was doing great till I binged on chocolate! I just mustn't have it in the house! My eating in the last week does not bode well for the weigh in tomorrow... Did I drink enough water? Just about! Cardio: Got my Insanity workout in and am still dripping with sweat! Challenge…

Made my own version for dinner today using whatever I had in the fridge! Used runner beans instead of courgette (runner beans cut into strips are a good replacement for spaghetti, I sometimes just have them with pesto), Philadelphia instead of creme fraiche and cheddar instead of hard cheese. It still turned out delish!…

Did I follow my diet today? I did try, but my son wanted to bake some biscuits and it all went downhill from there! Wine and chocolate again... Naughty! Did I drink enough water? Nearly there, one cup to go! Cardio: Walked the dog twice and did Insanity pure cardio which is MAD! Abs: 75 crunches, different types to try and…

September 1, 2013 Did I follow my diet today? I did much better today, though I could have done without the prawn crackers! Did I drink enough water? Still working on it! Cardio: (what and how long) Insanity and a bit of walking and gardening. Abs: 75 crunches Challenge completed? 2/3 of it with the cardio and abs. The…

August 31, 2013 Did I follow my diet today? [No, too much chocolate!] Did I drink enough water? [No] Cardio: (what and how long) [Yes! C2 5K week 2, bodyboarding at the beach (amazing!), Insanity day 19] Abs: (any ab work and how much) [No crunches today] Challenge completed? [1/2] Did I take my vitamin? [Yes. I've run out…

8/28/13 Did I follow my diet ? Nowhere near, but I just about made up for it with exercise Did I drink enough water? Could do with a bit more... Cardio: Walking the dog, gardening and insanity Abs: (any ab work and how much) Insanity cardio abs (it was tough...) Challenge completed? Yes! Did I take my vitamin? Yes! How do…

Did I follow my diet? I was so close, but I still had some biscuits around that my son had made and I had to either bin them or eat them... Did i drink enough water? I am approaching 10 cups! Yay! Cardio? Couch 2 5k week 2, Insanity, and I did my son's rugby training circuit with him... Abs? A few crunches, but not quite…

Well done, awesome results! This is just the inspiration I need to keep me going after 2 weeks! Thanks for posting :smile:

Name: Laura Check in today: 26/08/13 Did I follow my diet? No, a bit of a crazy day involving biscuits, cake etc., but only because we were visiting relatives and friends! Did i drink enough water? Almost, still working on it Cardio? Oh yes! Abs? Does Insanity count? Some abs involved. Did I take my vitamin? Yes! How do I…

I agree about having more sex! My bf is very sensitive and can be insecure about his weight/attractiveness, and the only thing that really convinces him that I still love or want him is having sex! Because I know how sensitive he is, I would never say anything to him about his weight, but I find that both my bf and our…

Fair enough, you need an occasional break as well! I started couch to 5k as well as Insanity, and I'm enjoying both at the moment, but I always end up working out before 7am or after 9pm when my boys are not in the way or wanting my attention! I am kind of missing just watching TV in the evening every now and then...…

I took a lot of short breaks during pure cardio as well! Missed yesterday though, got a bit of a cold and cough but I'm planning to get it done today! I'm going to get my 11-yo son to have a go at some of it, he'll probably find it easy!

I found another thread about the burn on Insanity. Most people say they burn over 400, and some a lot more on most of the days! I know it depends on body mass and exercise intensity, but I think the general circuit training may underestimate it a bit.

I just finished it too, and I did still sweat buckets! Also not sure how to log it, I'm thinking about 180 calories (my weight is around 133)? I need to get a a heart rate monitor or body media link, any recommendations?

How are you logging insanity? I log it as circuit training, general, would that be about right?

Just started as well and my results were abysmal in the first fitness test! But now I can't wait to do the first two weeks and see some improvement!

Wow, that was hard! I am completely new to insanity and my results suck! But here they are... SWITCH KICKS: 47 POWER JACKS:44 POWER KNEES: 66 POWER JUMPS: 24 GLOBE JUMPS: 7 SUICIDE JUMPS: 11 PUSH-UP JACKS: 10 LOW PLANK OBLIQUE: 39 It's no excuse, but I didn't have the proper DVDs yet, so this is using one from youtube! I…

I'm in if you still have a space! I'm in the UK, and was going to start tomorrow but I'll use the Youtube link to do the fitness test today! Don't have a measuring tape so the butt measurement will have to wait till I can get to the shops!

btw, the before and after pictures on here are so inspiring! Thanks for posting :smile:

5'6" and currently about 130 pounds. Trying to get to about 115, I want to actually see some definition!

Wow, you look amazing, well done!

Started hipcentric d1-10 today, and it didn't feel too bad! I can't quite finish all the reps in the leg series, but it always took me at least 5 days on each level to get to the point where I was comfortable with them. Does anyone else have a problem with their wrists when staying on all fours for so long?! My wrists…
