Any work out, as long as it is sustainable to your lifestyle is a good one. My SIL did insanity, and lost a lot, but did not sustain either the eating recommendations or the exercise, so she regained. i am doing tabatas and while I have lost just 4 pounds, I swapped 4% body fat for an increase in muscle percent (3.6) and…

I just wanted to know if you are in the calorie range of 1200-1400 daily, do you try to get more protein to keep you full? Also, when you workout, do you eat back exercise calories or no? When you first started that calorie range, did you have headaches or feel hungry and then your body just adjust to it? Please advise.…

I am proud of myself for losing 4 % body fat, gaining 2.3 % muscle, and going down 1 point on the visceral fat scale! I have not lost as much weight as I would like, but I love losing the fat!!! :love:

"emotionally angry" - just a thought, perhaps the place to start is with what is in your head and heart, not what you are putting in your tummy.

Another tabata night! we had 6 gals huffing and puffing, including our 8 year old. Great fun! I am disappointed on my weight-loss - less than half a pound. I am hoping part of it is water - I think I drank about 12 cups before exercise. I know I need to be more diligent on the non-boot camp nights, but I have been so tired…

The avocado pesto sounds delicious!

We did tabata high intensity intervals today. OMG! But better than trick or treating and candy eating (repeat until believed :noway: ). It was great fun, and the more intense the work out, the higher the calorie burn on a per minute basis. We were at about 10 cal/min - and apparently that was supposed to be easy!

hmmm. about the boyfriend comment.

did you weigh in the am or pm? You may be carrying extra water weight. I weighed 2 pounds heavier in the evening one day and about cried - the next morning, whew! it was gone.

It's sounds like you don't like the Insanity work out - perhaps find something that is more enjoyable and fun (no, not P90X, that sucks too, lol!) and did you tell your granny you are trying to lose? ask her to bring you veggies and fruit instead.

Had lunch out and finished when I was full, not when the food was gone.

Try to break it down into a reasonable way - there are about 32 weeks between now and the end of July, give or take. If you work on losing 2 pounds a week, which I think is realistic - that's 64 pounds. Not quite your goal, but some weeks you may lose a bit more and will likely get to your 70. For each pound, which is…

I agree with the need for friends. My partner is a trainer, but it isn't the same - she is super fit and I need someone else to be grunting and groaning during the exercise sessions we have. Terri, love of my life, did start a boot camp for me, my SIL, and a couple of friends. Usually there are 3 of us and that feels much…

That sounds like a great app! I have a motivational card on my mirror for next year's 10k/5k walk or run Phoenix AIDS Run. :happy:

Hi! I'm T and my partner have been together just over 9 years. She's a beautiful woman - a personal trainer - and has been a great inspiration to me, now that I am "ready" to be healthy again. We have an 8 year old (sassy pants) daughter. I think I was at my best when I met my partner - fit and trim. Since then, I have…

Great job, Posh! :-)

I had a second stroke - and I am only 48. My doctor asked me to seriously consider if I wanted to see my 8 year old grow up. I have always used the excuse that I am too stressed and tired from work, so I did not have time to work out (a LIE to myself) and that, because I suffered from anorexic behaviors when I was younger…
