INSANITY43

Misery loves company or so they say....I'm back to where I was 5 years ago :-( So disgusted with myself as I know where the blame lies. Somewhere I forgot myself and now I need to get back on track for me and my health. Good Luck!

Usually 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup of Kashi GoLean and 1/2 cup of the little Maine frozen blueberries stirred in... 1 Egg/ whole wheat toast or muffin.... Oatmeal Smoothie (greek yogurt/frozen berries/baby spinach/just a little POM juice if using red berries (OJ if using citrus fruit)so it's not so thick, maybe 1/2…

You can add your own excercise and call it shred.....I use a HRM and average 200-225 calories per workout.

I sold my treadmill and purchased an elliptical.....Gold's Gym 410 from Walmart with 18" stride. You can plug your ipod into it and it also checks your heart rate...reasonably priced around $350. My 19 year old daughter (who is similar to your height/weight) and I both prefer the elliptical as it is easier on our knees. We…

I wear a Polar FT7 HRM while I do Zumba WII.....I average 100 calories burned every 10 minutes...I do a full length class either moderate or high intensity. Went to my first "real" Zumba the other night....my HRM registered 530 for a 60 minute class...I think Zumba is worth it.....it's a "fun Burn" :wink:

just replaced my GOLD GYM 410 Treadmill from Walmart with a Gold's Gym Elliptical 410 *18" stride*.....I prefer to run outside and for various reasons had the treadmill as a backup. It bothered my knee when I ran on it. Love the elliptical...have had it just a week.

Insanity....Chalean Extreme....Turbo Fire....JM 30 Day Shred.....anything works if you are consistent.

I just entered one of my favorite "fall/winter" lunches into the recipes on here....Yummy. TACO SOUP Corn Whole Kernal (15 oz Can) Darlene - Delmonte No Salt Added, 2 cup College Inn - Chicken Broth 99% Fat Free, 2 cup (240mL) Mccormick - Low Sodium Taco Seasoning, 1 Tbsp dry mix Black Beans - Bush Reduced Sodium, 1 1/2…

....everytime my elbow bends my mouth pops open :sad:

my friend's little girl was strapped in her car seat belting out "Vacuum up the dance floor"...... How about EVACUATE the dance floor! :laugh: And years ago my baby brother would sing along with the Beach Boys.......She's my LITTLE LOOSE GOOSE - You don't know what I got! *little duece coupe - you don't kinow what I got"

Just turned 45 last week and "fitness" for me no longer means an exact weight/size/etc. It means feeling comfortable in my own skin (and that does include within a certain ballpark weight range:-)...It means having strong core muscles to protect myself as I age gracefully, I hope. It means looking like I'm still living and…

I try to drink 64 ozs of water daily....I don't "think" (not professional advice, just opinion) that more water would hurt UNLESS you are drinking water to feel full and not eating substantial and needed calories.

So our family car is a 2012 Ford Explorer (currently in the shop due to "kissing" a deer :sad: ) but my fun "mid-life" crisis car is my 2010 Chevy CamaroSS ....6 speed manual....burgandy with silver stripes :glasses: vvvrrroooommm!

Heres the website that I ordered our hoops from.....have the 3 lb hoops. http://www.sports-hoop.com/ Have Fun Hooping :smile:

You can order a very nice weighted hoop from Sports Hoop.com I have a 3 lb hoop they also have 5 lb hoops....3 lbs is plenty imo. My young daughter and I actually had some bruising the first few times :sick: So if you go with weighted you really have to start out with just 5 to 10 minutes and build up...When we were in our…

Not really a "salad" but my family has been loving the container of finely chopped fresh broccoli, cauliflower, red-green-orange-yellow peppers, celery and grated carrots that I keep in the fridge. We add a little fat-free feta and some light balsamic vinagarette (or Ranch:-) and it is delicious! Even a little "sweet" with…

Congrats! You look great and FIT!!!! But I must admit, it was the coinage of the word "fit-ish" that made me look at your post! You Go girl!

5'5" .... 27 " waist

I burn between 190 and 220 each workout of 30 Day Shred.....according to my Polar FT7 HRM......set up my own excercise and just plug in the daily burn.

My body burns in a specific order.....it starts with my fingers and toes and rarely gets past my elbows and knees!!!!! :noway:

I had gall bladder surgery in march (laproscopic). I did not weigh myself after surgery but I did measure my waist the next day and I had gained just shy of 7 inches!!!! That is from all that gas they pump into the abdomen. Oh and as it disappates it will "move" around and may cause extreme pain in your shoulders... I…

bump....

Yes....I found that my endurance increased alot...I lost only about 6 lbs but several inches.....I think it's worth it but like anything you get out what you commit to and put into it.

The Polar FT 7....may not be as "gadgety" as some of the others but I'm really only interested in HR, Calories burned and time spent. Just a little over $100 on heartratemonitorsusa.com

My 18 year old daughter talked me into INSANITY about this time last year. I had been working out with only Leslie Sansone up to that point. Insanity helped me tone....lost quite a few inches, not too many lbs...but my endurance went through the roof. We only missed one day out of the 60 day challenge which was also an…

I have a really nice WW digital scale...use it 95% of the time...it weighs in grams and ounces which is great since many MFP foods are listed in grams. My adult son came home for a visit ...saw it on the counter and asked his little sister...."So, mom does crack now???" :laugh:

Currently doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred...started level two today. Great addition of weights for me. I'm also doing TurboFire which I love...am not doing it according to the "schedule" I just do one of her workouts to fit into my schedule. I have completed the INSANITY 60 day program and love those workouts, but my…

Most people are of the Instant Gratification mindset....think "drive-through" mentality. When they ask "how did you do it?" How do you stay looking so good (fit)?" etc. They are really looking for a quick fix...you do this *insert diet plan*....begin on Monday and by Friday you'll look like a Rock Star!!!! and Not only…

Haven't stayed at Sandals...but at the Salon the other day several of us were talking "Caribbean" vacations and the salon owner said he stayed at the Sandals in Montego Bay Jamaica and it was outstanding! There is also a Sandals in Ochos Rios Jamaica. I can vouch that Jamaica is beautiful....been there twice...but it was…

I started 30 Day Shred on Thursday 2/2. Did the 60 day INSANITY program last year at this time.....Continued doing a combination of Insanity or Bob Harper or just running outside in the summer months. Purchased TURBOFIRE in November and have been doing those workouts 5-6 times per week (though not actually doing it…
