@Lorraine, I hope you have a successful talk with your boyfriend. Kudos to you for being understanding that it is expensive for him. But make sure he understands that if he was thinking about this for a while, it would have been nice to have a bit more time to accept that he would be gone for so long :) My husband had to…

Hey girls! I'm on my phone, horrible service so I will make this short. I burned 3203 calories this week! Hope you all are having a great weekend. I'm not logging but I'm being good :)

Alright, quick post before getting back to packing (ugh). My goals while we're up north are: -Complete week 2 of Insanity -Drink lots of water -Watch my portions and don't over indulge -Get a family walk in each morning I will post my weeks total for calories burned Saturday after my workout. I hope you all have a…

I'd have to agree with both Andrea and Kerri. I get busy and keep occupied when I get stressed out, depending on whether I'm sad or angry I will do yoga, or get my butt kicked during some workout, clean, etc. I really enjoyed Lukas and my walks, however this week with the heat I haven't even been able to do them in the…

You look great, almost a completely different person! Keep it up!! You got this!! 5lbs should be nothing after losing 95 :)

Robin that map is great!!! We will be to LA in no time! I thought I'd fess up. I had a horrible day yesterday. Chocolate really kicked my butt! I went shopping at Kohls, trying to find a cheap pair of shorts, and a Godiva Caramel Chocolate bar just jumped into my bag :devil: It didn't seem that bad at the time. Until I…

Alright, didn't do my best this weekend. I managed to have smaller portions of bad foods that were sitting around. However I drank TOO MUCH SANGRIA! :blushing: I really need to work on just having ONE glass, but it is tough. I did try to do a glass, then water, then another glass. So I suppose that is progress! My goals…

Did you get my email I sent out earlier this week? It has a video link showing each exercise. She doesn't explain them very well, but she does a fairly decent job of doing them. Power jumps are HARD, and globe jumps you do a jump-squat to the right, then to the back, then to the left, then forward and all 4 jumps count as…

@ Kerri, thanks for the links! I had a pep talk with myself yesterday and then got into my Insanity workout. I have basically decided that regardless of the number on the scale, I know I'm getting stronger and that's what counts. My report for the week: 3731 calories burned!!! WOOT! 125 sit-ups (I really liked this :) I'm…

7/8 - 161lbs 7/15 - 162.4lbs Ugh, really discouraged. I did so well this week. The only off day I had was last Sunday, and it wasn't really too bad because I was active the whole day. Last time I started Insanity I did the same thing, I fluctuated between 170 and 172 for 4 weeks. I don't want to do that again!! I don't…

In the DVD there are about a minute break inbetween each exercise so he can explain the next one to you. But it's not long enough hahaha :tongue:

Mid-week check in. Today may have to be a rest day. I could barely crawl out of bed my back is super sore. Not sure what that's about. I'm going to head up to Lansing today to visit a friend who just had a baby and then hopefully afterwards I'll be feeling better and able to get in my Insanity! So far my week has been…

Kerri, yes send me and email and I will send out the fit test! Here's my results from my first fit test: Switch Kicks - 62 (31 reps) Power Jacks - 28 Power Knees - 61 Power Jumps - 18 Globe Jumps - 6 Suicide Jumps - 10 Push-up Jacks - 7 Low Plank Oblique - 22 And as promised, here are my beginning pictures too! Uggh.. I…

Good Monday Morning to you ladies! I'm super motivated this morning to start Insanity and keep track of my burn to go Coast to Coast :bigsmile: I did fairly well this weekend. I did awesome on water, did good on Saturday with workouts and eating good. Sunday ehh.. I helped mulch my parents yard for 3 hours with some…

Oh hey, my good friend Sarah is joining this challenge as well. If you can all add her as a friend it'd be great! Her name is sswaynie. Thanks! :)

Congrats!!! I did prenatal yoga everyday of my pregnancy, I didn't do it one day and I could definitely tell the difference. Don't worry about what you gain. If you are eating healthy, then you were meant to gain that for the baby. You will do great :bigsmile:

Sorry I haven't responded yet!! I am loving all the ideas, I'm not sure where to start! haha. For the Coast to Coast tour, make a stop in Lansing, MI. It's close enough to my town :smile: This week I weighed in at 161lbs exactly. I hope to hit the 150's next week so I will be pushing hard this weekend and next week! Monday…

When I first started working out I did the 30DS and my HRM (it's a Timex) showed me burning 500-600 calories. Now that I've been working out for several months consistently, when I Shred it's more along the 300-400 range. Does your HRM account for your weight? I'd say it's pretty accurate if it does (I'm no expert though,…

Well I did find this cleanse, it seems a bit more up my alley than the only lemon water mix haha. I'm going to do it for 3 days and then start up Insanity! I do want to try Shakeology at some point, but it's not in my budget right now. Those of you that gave me some tips, thank you. For those that wanted a cleanse, here…

Yeah, I am looking for healthy, not so harsh options :happy: I have a 6 month old I have to take care of during this hehe.

Killed it this weekend! So proud of myself. Worked out daily, stayed under calories and didn't eat ANYTHING at my husbands parents! Woohoo!! This week should be awesome, I am planning on going to The Factory Gym tomorrow and Wednesday. I am TEACHING a Puppy class and Teenage Dog class tonight (usually I just assist, but…

Very happy to report a .4lb loss this week, WITH A VACATION! My weight today is 165.2lbs! I didn't eat the best up north, but I didn't let myself go completely either, so I wasn't getting my hopes up. I was going to sneak a peak on the scale today and then post my weight on the scale tomorrow because I know my sodium…

Happy to report I'm down to 165.6 this week! I am really hoping I will get in enough exercise up north to combat some of the damage I will do this next week though! My husband and I will both be up there, but my Grandma (we stay with her) is giving us money to do her grocery shopping while we're up there so I hope to make…

I have very much LOVED being apart of this challenge. I apologize for my lack of posting lately. For that reason, I don't think I will participate in the next challenge. With summertime being here, I will be up north a lot and I don't feel like I'd be a good contributor to the group. This group has been so helpful to me!!…

Kerri, this week for Friday's weigh in just count me as a maintain. I'm heading up north tomorrow with Lukas and my parents until Sunday and I don't trust my Grandma's 30yr old scale :) I will be keeping track of my calories the best I can. I'm REALLY nervous though because I've gone up for a weekend here or there, but not…

From my experience, I have almost always eaten majority of them back. I never had very good luck keeping my calories at 1200 before working out. My max calories is 1500, then if I burn 500 calories I try to eat around 80% of that back. MFP already calculates a loss between what you burn doing normal activity and your…

Here's my measurements at least. Usually I wake up just before Lukas so I have a bit of time to myself, but I didn't wake up until he was crying this morning so I totally forgot to weigh myself before chugging some water and eating. Neck 13.75 Left Arm 12.25 Right Arm 12.5 Chest - at nipple line 39.25 Smallest Part of…

Ok my turn, sorry it would have been sooner but my internet died and I didn't want to type it on my phone! hah. First and foremost, I am on this journey to get healthy and to strive to live a healthy lifestyle to set a good example for Lukas and future children Zack and I have. I also want to be at a healthy weight to…

Okay, I had a hard time coming up with something to light a fire under out butts to get back at this, but here's my idea: I think we all should post our reasons we want to lose weight again and how we plan to get there. Re-typing it all out might make me realize how much I want this again. I probably will make it my…

My weekend went very well. I had a few unhealthy meals, but countered it with quite a bit of exercise and managed to stay under calories all weekend! Well okay, I was like 64 calories over on Saturday, but close enough :smile: I have set a mini-goal for myself. Until now I couldn't come up with a good one. I want to be…
