  • Did it! OMG I'm tired. I've noticed I'm cranky after my workout... am I the only one? I started out pacing myself and on the second set I was like "...**ck it!" and pushed hard. Yeah...

  • It's not the same as quitting smoking or drinking, but I'm realizing I need to stop eating refined sugar. Not necessarily going 100% natural so much as all the chocolate, candy and such I eat. Things like honey or cocoa powder and maple syrup (the REAL kind) I'll still have. And fruits of course. I'm gonna probably go into…

  • I'll be doing my workout a bit later today but damn am I TIRED. My parents are impressed I have done it so far (my grandma too and she's overseas!) so it's nice that at least I'm starting to ACTUALLY get family support. I'm also realizing I need to possibly do a sugar detox. And eating out. Growing up I didn't eat out much…

  • Totally agree. I was like "OMG my thighs make it stooooop!!!" Ah well.

  • Same as me then. It hurts to bend but I can tell it's the muscles b/c I can still twist and such.

  • I know how you feel. I still hurt yesterday though! I took it a touch easier yesterday (3rd day), but now I can move and NOT go "ow" for every movement so today I can hit it harder. If nothing else, at least I know how to pace myself so I don't hurt myself. XD

  • Thanks. I saw Artificer22 posting their workouts and I was like "How?!?!!?" I just found out my dad has 2 HRM so I'll be using them from now on.

  • Day 1 let's GO! I had a rough weekend (including an all-nighter), my monthly curse started and I'm getting sick... but screw it I promised! Thus, the results are even poorer then they would have been normally. *sigh* Oh well. Switch Kicks: 46 Power Jacks: 36 Power Knees: 57 Power Jumps: 26 Globe Jumps: 7 Suicide Jumps: 9…

  • I'm so ready! This weekend I want to a con and almost everything went wrong! However, I crossed that last emotional hurdle and 'm so ready to start it's not even funny. Man I feel light... we'll kill this!

  • Hello! You can call me Nyx. I haven't done Insanity before but I've had the DVDs for...2 years now? Collecting dust... >.> But! I want to try because I'm tired of holding myself back for fear of bullying (long story). So I hope we all kick some butt!

  • You guys are amazing!!! Thank you SO much for the replies, PMs and friend requests! I'll be answering each reply below: @lijsda1: My mom also says the same thing of not pausing the DVD. I may have to do this since pausing and resuming eats up more time and sadly as a full-time student my time is limited. @Roadie2000: Thank…

  • I have something similar actually. When I go to a gym I feel like everyone's suddenly staring at me with disapproval thinking 'Why is this lazy girl here? Go back to your computer and let us REAL fitness fanatics work out in peace'. Even though none of this is happening AT ALL. I feel your pain.

  • My first 10 lbs. I got a new training top and bottom (I only have my mom's hand-me downs XD) and once I loose 5 more to have lost in total another 10 I'll be getting a game I really want. For loosing all the weight... not sure really. I'm thinking maybe a special pair of undergarments since I have a special someone to show…

  • I know how you feel. I've lost in total 15 lbs out of 30 that I want to lose but yesterday and for the past... 3 days I've been on a sudden, severe sweet binge! I know it sucks and it's hard but if you stumble, keep going. Just think "If I put in the effort now, I'll look better, feel better and when I'm old I'll still…

  • Well first, congratulations!! I hope the baby comes healthy and happy! As for doing the marathon, I honestly don't think you should. While it's not too far along, it's better to hedge your bets (so to speak) and not do it. But of course, you can do as you wish. ^^
