  • I tried the Hybrid myself, but sometimes life got in the way and when I couldn't do that, I moved on to something else. 2 jobs, with one working me late into the night a couple nights of the week and early on the others, and a kid make for a crazy life. Just need to push through those days I guess. Getting back on board.…
    in Chalean Extreme Comment by KimALesperance September 2012
  • I personally think for toning and losing Chalean is the way to go. Insanity uses a lot more plyo moves than some like, and that is definitely something I noticed I need to work on (my lower body) after finishing my first round of that. I like Insanity and will give you awesome results, but it's a lot more intense on the…

  • Wow. Good luck to both of you. There is definitely a lot of great support to be found on this site. I've made a lot of good friends!!!
    in Hello, new here! Comment by KimALesperance June 2012
  • I agree with what everyone else has been posting. I honestly have the same issue. And it is because I'm not honest with myself about what I eat. I was reading something earlier about how even if you underestimate by 100 calories a day, that's 10 pounds in a year. Scary when you think about it. What do you your workouts…
    in Anyone else not losing Comment by KimALesperance June 2012
  • I feel your pain. I do more often than I like to admit. I think part of it for me is frustration. I get mad at myself for not screwing up my diet with something bad, and what do I do? Stand at the refrigerator door looking for something to snack on. I know its all mental, and the grand scheme of things, it wasn't that big…

    in How old are you? Comment by KimALesperance January 2012
  • I like to mix mine with unsweetened vanilla almond milk (I like Silk the best). Helps to give it a creamier texture as well as more flavor. I have been using a protein isolate (chocolate) from VitaminWorld when I don't have time for breakfast, or when I feel the need to snack at night. The almond milk is low in calories…

  • Way to go. I also signed up for my first half marathon, PF Changs Rock n Roll in Phoenix. It is January 15 and currently just did 6 miles for the first time. I am trying to figure out how to train and eat for all of this. I needed some race to help to keep me in line....but what a goal we have made for ourselves to…
    in Just signed up for Birmingham half marathon, next year Comment by KimALesperance October 2011
  • Thanks everyone. Perhaps I should shift the goal to the .5 - 1 pound range. I know that the closer I get to my goal the slower it is going to come off. I've just had a tough time going at it. I try to stay under my calories...which I usually do and I usually get in at least an hour of kickboxing and/or running in 5 to 6…
    in Raising Calories to Lose Weight Comment by KimALesperance September 2011
  • I'm right there with you, my ultimate goal weight is 120-but would be happy with 130. I need to post more and pictures and stick to the 1200 calorie diet...that has been a tough one for me. I have been close with my 1300, and I have been busting my butt with Turbo Fire and afternoons at the gym. Good luck....I am certain…
    in Im new but this is my success story in progress! Comment by KimALesperance September 2011
  • Good luck to you. It's not an easy thing, but at least you have made the choice to become a healthier person. It's a great feeling when you start seeing and feeling the difference a better diet and exercise can do for you. I started at about 240 pounds about 12 years ago and have gotten down to 150...and working on my last…

  • My mother tells me this. Doesn't want me to get to obsessive about my weigh loss. Customers at work tell me I look fine-that I would be to skinny if I lost any more. What I don't like is that I try to lead a healthier lifestyle and people tell me I have taken this overboard-because I choose to try and eat healthier food,…
    in Do you ever encounter this?... Comment by KimALesperance September 2011
  • You'll get back there. I think we have all fallen off at some time or another. :smile:
    in I fell off the healthy wagon! Comment by KimALesperance September 2011
  • Congrats on the loss.....Period. I agree with Tameko2 though...you more than likely have lost inches, but the spots where you measure may be different-so you should measure yourself also. That is the same reason I stick to my scale and not any one else's. I don't care if it is digital or not, it seems to read different-or…

  • Good Luck!!
    in hey new here Comment by KimALesperance September 2011
  • I don't have any pics, but I love the workouts. I was hesitant in the beginning prior to the purchase, but I am so glad that I did. I love the intensity of the workouts and the music really helps to keep you going. I don't have any measurements yet, I just finished week two, but I can definitely feel my core toning up. I…
