congrats and good luck! I just started month 2 of my second round, and it's still kicking my *kitten*! Definitely worth it, though :)

yuengling lager is my favorite of favorites. Yard's Brawler is another fantastic one, and there's a brewery called Shebeen's near my home in CT that makes a cannoli beer that would beat any dessert wine I've ever had. They also make a bacon kona beer that tastes like the best breakfast you could imagine.

I'm sorry you're confused, my point was simply that I know how busy mothers can be, and claiming that 8 months after giving birth, women who don't have that woman's body are "making excuses" is ridiculous and unfair. My description of my own situation was in response to being told that I was using motherhood or business as…

thank you, this is exactly what I'm trying to say. And yeah, I love how we have excuses instead of just differing opinions. I'm into my second month of my second round of Insanity and have maintained a <1200 cal diet for the last month. I don't make excuses, I put my time and work in, and control my appetite. We obviously…

I don't use any excuses, bro. I am 22, unmarried, and have no children. I work out plenty hard and eat right. However, I know people who are as busy as this woman is, and make time to put in an hour of exercise every day and eat healthy. My mother had three kids of similar ages, worked, and made time to workout every day…

I'm not disagreeing with this, but I know how busy my mom was with three kids of similar ages, and she made time to go for a run for an hour every day. She is practically a vegetarian and eats 95% clean and healthy. She has NEVER looked like the woman in the photo. Saying, "what's your excuse" is an absurd and…

going to the park and playing with your kids for half an hour isn't going to get you a body like hers. the contribution that that aspect of her day makes to her overall fitness is not even significant, unless she's doing pull ups on the monkey bars and jumping jacks while her kids play for about an hour.

QFT.

this was my reaction as well. Good for her and all, and I get that it's probably an ad for her work as a personal trainer or something, but plenty of mothers just don't have the time to hit the gym as much as she does to get that body, especially not right after having a baby. Priorities are not an excuse, they are a…

I'm in! I'm new to this, so I guess I'll just describe my situation. I'm in my second round of Insanity, and I'm currently in the recovery week. Starting Monday I'll be doing month 2 workouts, so during that time I should be around 250-300 mins per week. Week # 1 -- September 30th: Mon: 58 mins Tue: 39 mins Wed: 42 mins…

WoW and rock climbing? You sound awesome :)

Cucumber, tomato, red bell peppers, spinach leaves, etc. - chop up and sprinkle a pinch of garlic salt or whatever seasoning you prefer. Super filling, and most of these vegetables are less than 60 calories per (one 8 inch long cucumber is about 47 cals; one medium tomato is about 22 calories; one large red bell pepper is…

I was never technically "overweight," but I've been out of shape since I hit middle school. When I was a kid I was outside playing until after the sun went down, but once I hit puberty I started focusing on tv, video games, and the internet. I've continued to eat like a child, though - as in, if I wanted cookies, I'd eat a…

I just joined this group today, and I'm a grad student at Arcadia, so I'm in the Glenside/Abington area :)
