I sent you a message and FR. I am just finishing up week 2 of T25 myself and would love to help you out.

I will be doing P90x3 but not until March. i have to finish up T25 first. I do the same thing with my T25 workouts some days. Im just so tired I dont want to do it but then I remind myself of why I am doing it and how guilty I will feel for not doing it and I force myself to get up and get it done. I always feel much…

Day 3 week 2 for me. i love this workout. Well most of it anyway ;) Glad to see so many people here pushing play !!

What made you decide to increase your calorie intake? I would give it a bit before going back. First of all your weight can fluctuate a few pounds from day to day. Also when you first start a new exercise program your body needs time to adjust. During the adjustment period it produces cortisol which causes the body to…

I was diagnosed with Breast cancer at the age of 35. Five years later I am happy to say that I am cancer free!! Having excess weight increases my chances of it coming back so that is my #1 reason. To stay cancer free. 2. to regain the confidence and self esteem I had when I was thinner 3. To regain my energy to do the…

welcome. I guess staying motivated really depends on your reasons for what you are doing. getting on here and having some friends to encourage you does help. What are your goals and what is the main reason you decided to set those goals? You need a good "why" to help you stick to the "how" part of any goal.

Welcome! please add me as a friend I would love to help you along your way. what are the goals you are trying to reach and what are you doing now to reach them?

welcome! and congratulations on your beginning to a new you. Losing weight is difficult for most people thats why this is such a great site. there are so many people who can help support and motivate. So what is your motivation behind making this change?

do you notice any physical changes in your body even though the weight isnt changing? Maybe you are going through a period where you are building muscle or toning up instead of losing weight? have you changed up your workout routine recently?

welcome. I will send you a friend request. what kind of workouts are you currently doing? This is a great place to come for motivation and help if you have any questions.

I do T25 everyday. Today was total body circuit, lots of squats, lunges, planks and push-ups

First off, welcome!! You have been given some good advice here. To me the work diet implies a short term thing people do to lose weight. What people need to understand is that in order to lose weight and keep it off you have to make a lifestyle change. you have to change your relationship with food forever. If you believe…

Ive never heard of aqua spinning before. It sounds like fun. i have done deep water running before and really liked it. Good luck I hope you enjoy it

For me to get leaner or more defined P90X and T25 all the way!!

losing weight is more about eating right than it is about the exercise. Exercise is to help you get fit. Ultimately to be healthy you do need to combine both. Start with a good healthy eating plan, track your calories for a while to make sure you aren't eating too much but are still getting enough. You said you used to be…

If I get that hungry I allow myself to eat I just do my best to make it healthy. Doesnt always work but the key is to not beat yourself up over it. If you are constantly denying yourself things you love you will end up binging at some point. Just make sure you dont go way overboard and you dont do it every day. I love…

everybody is different of course but what i personally do is find something to keep me busy. I do the laundry or go for a walk or to the bookstore. Do you have any hobbies you like to do. Sometimes I will draw or I like to sew. Anything that gets my brain thinking about something else. After a bit I find I forget about the…

for breakfast I like to make an omlete or scrambled eggs with sliced up lean turkey lunch meat and feta cheese. You can use egg whites if you like but I use the whole egg. I found its also good with sauteed asparagus, green onion and parmesan cheese. for lunch or dinner I like to make taco salads. I use ground turkey, taco…

Sheila, Welcome and congratulations on the upcoming wedding!! We all have set backs once in a while so dont beat yourself up. I find that if I look at my eating as a life style change instead of a diet its easier for me to stay on track. I am not on a diet i want to eat healthier. that way I dont feel like I am depriving…

My husband said he had days where he felt wierd with the patch too. He eventually quit using it because he didnt like the way it feld. You are quitting an awful lot all at once and its possible your body is just trying to adjuts. Make sure you are eating enough calories and getting enough water. If it continues it wouldnt…

I think your goals look fine. You can always adjust them later if they are not working. I agree with bloodhound that the main thing is to make sure you are eating clean and as non-processed as possible. I ran a 5k a few years ago but havent done any running in a while. I was thinking about starting up again but will…

I dont have any advice on the supplements as I dont use them but as for workouts have you tried something like Insanity or P90X. They have been shown to provide really good results for muscle toning and development. Now that I say that though, with you providing your wieght in stone I am assuming you dont live in the US so…

welcome. I will do my best to help motivate you. i got into fitness to get myself back into shape but have found that what i really enjoy is helping other people reach their goals. How many days a week are you planning on working out?

Youve been given some pretty good advice here. Other than whats already been said just jump and start reading posts and joining in. Make some friends who can help motivate you and help you when needed. Do you have any specific goals you are trying to reach?

Welcome. I sent you a friends request. I will do my best to motivate you . do you have a specific goal you are trying to meet?

I do a meal replacement shake everyday that has tons of vitamins and minerals. Yes I do shakeology. I've read the post on here about it and know there are a lot of people who think its too expensive , a waste of money or whatever. All I can tell you is that for me, I have almost no junk food cravings anymore, I feel full…

I too drink way too much diet soda. i have to limit my sugar intake for health reasons which is why i drink diet as opposed to regular. ive tried to quit a few times but i crave the carbonation. As a 5 year cancer survivor I am trying to be healthier and eliminate as many of the additives and chemicals from my diet as…

check with your gym and see if they have any workout videos available you can use there. The one I use to go to had P90X that people could use in the fitness room whenever they wanted to. If you dont like videos or your gym doesnt have any available what types of exercises do you enjoy? Are you more of a cardio type…

yep Im in that category too. I did P90x last winter and lost 5 inches in the first month 3 of them from my waist. I never did lose any weight throughout the entire 90 days. Inches are good weight will come later

When I first started I would warm up for 4-5 minutes then I would jog for 30 seconds, walk for 2 minutes, jog 30 seconds, walk 2 minutes etc. Then I would move up to walk 3 minutes jog 1 minute, repeat. Eventually working my way up to jogging full on. If you are looking for a program to help and like zombies there is an…
