I just so happened to have started on April 27th as well - although I've had the dvds for 2 years. It's only been 5 days but I took a quick waist measurement this morning for encouragement and was down 1.25 inches...in 5 days. That's enough for me to stick with it. And if I can say that after Day 5, Pure Cardio…

And I've always heard muscle weighs more than fat so as your losing the fat but turning it into muscle then you won't see as much lbs lost. Makes sense. :smile:

I am only on Round 1 Day 4 but already, from Day 1, I find I can do more and am surprised that the soreness is working itself out already too. I huff and puff and have to take breaks (and sweat on my) but I like it.

I'm Lori - I live in eastern Iowa. My weight has yo-yo'd for the last 20 years...since by 2nd child. Two years ago I lost 35 lbs - gained all but 8 of it back. Last summer lost 20 - gained 25 over the winter. I'll start work outs and then usually putter out after 2 or 3 weeks. I've lost 11 lbs the last couple months but…

I just started Insanity yesterday. It's tough and I am no where near doing it in good form or all the way through...yet...but oddly enough I do like it. I've had the dvd's for 2 years and was too afraid to try it. I finally decided I needed to push myself. Hoping for great results.

I'll message you my email address if that's ok?

I'm doing a 3 week boot camp right now then going to do Insanity. Someone gave me the dvds but not the workout schedule. If anyone could share that with me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thx.

IP is a 4 phase program. Yes, it's very restictive in Phase 1 when you are relaying largely on the protein packets. Phase 2 and 3 are where those proper eating habits are taught when carbs are phased back in. I agree this isn't for everyone and that everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's a personal choice and that…

I started on Ideal Protein 2 weeks ago and am down 6.8 lbs. I really have high hopes for this to work...quickly. :) I lost 34 lbs in 6 months, 2 years ago on Visalus shakes (and daily workouts). I put back on 24 of that. Tried Visalus again and couldn't stick with it. I think my body just adjusted to them and I couldn't…

The phrase "how you doing?" was invented!

I meant FB friends - as in plural...I do have more than just the one! LOL

I just asked my FB friend this the other day. Back at daily workouts over my lunch after 2 months of not working out and I have been soooooo sore I could barely move. Just lowering myself down to the toilet was painful...hehe...TMI! They all said work through it and I did - just didn't do the same workout tape two days in…

Most of the shows named it's not so much that I don't like them...I just never bothered to try watching them. I watched Cougar Town it's first season on ABC but quit when I couldn't take Courtney Cox screaming anymore. That character...or how she played it...was basically just Monica disguised in a different setting. I…

My doctor's office supports it and I talked to them about it over a year ago but since I had a significant amount of weight to lose (60 lbs at the time) I would have been required to do the supplements and it was going to be like $80 a week and I could not afford that. I lost 36 lbs last year on the Body by Vi shakes and…

How long in the crock pot and on what setting? I buy these as well and usually have to plan ahead for the 2 hours of baking time.

I'm sorry - what does ceilings and floors mean?

Just got one today - however it is not dietetic... 4 boneless chicken breasts 1 box of stuffing (i.e., Stove Top) 1 can cream of chicken soup 1/2 C sour cream Put chicken in bottom of crock pot, pour box of stuffing over chicken (no need to prepare the stuffing just dump the contents in as is). Mix the cream of chicken…

How many weeks overall have you been at it? My friend was so frustrated when she only lost 6 lbs in the first 6 weeks but she has lost nearly 4 times that now (sorry not sure how may weeks for her total). I myself lost 16 lbs in the first 3 months and then doubled that in the next 2 months. So my advice is always to just…

There is a 11 & 10 year age gap between my two oldest and the youngest. So all the older boys' friends call Jace - "baby boy Jace".

son, Brendon - call him Brendon Wendon (his middle name is Wynne - pronounced like When) son, Dallas - call him Dalby (all of his friends call him this now too) son, Jace (pronounced like Ace but with a J or like Jas, short for Jason) - call him Jake or Jaker

Just replying to save that Jimmy John's recipe! YUM

I don't know that there are any words I hate per say - but I do HATE when people mispronounce words. My boss is FAMOUS for this! Example...futon is pronounced with the emphasis on the FU (FU-ton) not on the TON (fu-TON). And Pepto Bismol does NOT have a silent L at the end - you need to pronounce the L. Thank you. :smile:

Lots of Novembers but didn't see a Nov. 10th yet. That's me!

I make my own using Vitamin E (2 pack 'lil canisters found at Walmart - lotion aisle), baby lotion (largest container of the pink kind - Johnson & Johnson or store brand) and Vaseline (name or store brand). Mix all together in a large bowl (I even use my hand mixer since the Vaseline is quite thick). Can spoon back into…

When I first started at the company I work for I was a temp doing a research project. I spent 3 month pulling banker boxes down off storage shelves that went to the ceiling. I was too shy to ask for help so I climbed those shelves myself and carried the boxes up and down myself. Then I also would have to walk back and…

I use BBV and was not aware until your post of the possible side effects of soy. I have hypothyroidism and just yesterday learned I need to up my meds as my levels are down (or up - whatever the case may be). I also just found this online and I have been having these digestive issues from time to time. For sure will be…

I have seen Pumpkin Cream Cheese sold at Sav-a-lot and Aldi's. Very yummy!

I do not have a weapon to conceal even if I wanted to but this post reassures my decision to not run this morning when it was still dark out. Not nessarily a lot of crime in my neighborhood (no more/no less than others) but the path I would run becomes quite desolate at one point and I figured why risk it. Will try to do…

I have been doing the Body by Vi shakes since March and have lost 36 lbs (with daily exercise). Have I seen the huge sucesses many on their wesbite say...no...but it really does help me 1) cut calories (180 - 220 cals depending on add ins) and 2) two meals a day on my busy work week days are no brainers (I do them for…

Say what?! ^ This exists? I have to find these in our area. I also did not know Hersey's made pumpkin Kisses but I saw them on Pinterest so I must find those as well. I absolutely LOVE almost everything pumpkin. Culver's pumpkin shakes are to die for. (none of which, I do realize, are very dietetic...lol)
