Hi Sunset, Thanks for the response! Maybe we can be buddies in this journey?! I am 13w6d today, so not too far ahead of you! I actually managed to jog a bit this week (using my heart rate monitor to keep my exersion under 140) and do yoga. It feels really good to be slightly sore again after almost three months of being…

Hey all, Sorry I haven't posted in a while...fell off the wagon this weekend but got right back on it Monday. Legs/Abs today was a killer but I felt stronger. Kenpo tomorrow - I've got motivation now...starting to see some small differences in my arms and can do a bit more each week. Hope everyone has been doing well!

I was so excited to do Cardio since I lost that DVD so long ago, but now I know why I probably lost it in the first place! Holy heck, I forgot it was the cardio portions of all the videos smashed into one. Feel good though and excited to stay on track. Been going through my wedding pictures and it's inspiring knowing I can…

Hey all, Holidays got the best of me...but finished Core today and got the two DVD's I lost from a friendly P90Xer :) so I can do them all this week. Looks like everyone has been doing well!

Morning p90xer's! Got a run in and did arms/abs instead of legs this am since my hubby couldn't do it with me (he is my spot for pull-ups and I cheat if i just use a chair!) If i have enough energy we may attempt it tonight. Feel good today though even with the soreness - can't wait for kenpo tomorrow, it's my favorite!!!…

Ohhh-eee! Core kicked my butt this AM (I'm doing the vids a bit outta order to work with my schedule), and dang I don't remember being this sore from doing ab ripper yesterday! Regardless, like kathleen said, the soreness is good right now - proof we're working harder than we normally do. I think I will be back on track…

Hey all, I am a bit late starting, but got a quick run in this morning and completed ab ripper. Husband and I are doing core tomorrow - feels good getting back to Tony... glad to see everyone is already bringing it - super motivating to catch up with everyone!

I'm in. I did it before my wedding and it really did get me in great shape. Sad to say, I stopped after so I gained it back. Im in for round 2 as well.

Hi F4Fers, Let's get this started! Sick this past weekend, but ready to start tomorrow... CW:141 GW:129 NSV #1: be able to kick the sugar and bingeing for good NSV #2: prove to myself I can eat healthy and continue to excercise after I reach my goal weight NSV #3: feel good and ready to get up and exercise early in the…

Hi all F4Fers! I have never been part of a group or done a challenge and thinking maybe I can actually keep the weight off longer than a month if I have this support. My husband and I are plannig on starting a family this fall and I want to not only be in excellent shape by then, but to be at a maintance phase, proving to…

I too have and do the same. I reached my goal weight over a month ago (took 9 months to get there), just to pack it all back on again in a few short weeks! It's really hard to eat right when you are stressed, especially if you have made it a habit to eat those feelings away. MFP is super helpful in making new good habits -…

Hi Minda and all, I understand wanting to feel like yourself again. I recently got to my goal using MFP and only to fall off the wagon again this past month after my wedding. I know using this site and the online support of all the members, that you really can obtain your goal. There is always someone online here to help…

Hey P90Xers, Been doing p90X for a few weeks. I ran every day before switching to P90X and it still was a bit of an adjustment. Yeah, most websites say ~600 cals are burned, but I feel like it's more around 450 or so. Everyone is different and each time you do it you may give it more intensity or less which is why I base…

I feel ya. Been struggling with this all my life. Mine is easily triggered by one bite, one m&m, so I just try not to go there. It's super easy on weekends - football games at bars, parties, endless food options. Remember that it took some time to create the habit to eat like this, so it will take time to correct. I still…

Welcome! MFP is awesome for support!

I have been doing both although mrscates is correct, they include cardio workouts in P90X. I have always been a runner, and about a month ago I switched from running daily to P90X to workout with my fiance. I noticed in the first week or two that I really still needed to run because it is the way I let go of all my stress.…

I had the same problem and it was hard for me to get off that caffeine when you are used to it. I started by mixing 3/4 can of diet coke with 1/4 can of caffeine free, then every day increased the caffeine free stuff and reduced the regular diet coke. I never had any withdrawal symptoms this way. Additionally, I…

I agree with dave4d. Late in the day it's best to stick with proteins and veggies and cut the carbs if possible.

Love it! I wish I had that shirt to put on in the mornings to work out!

Thanks for the advice "southcoastsweet," Congrats to you too... your counter says you have already lost 20 lbs!!! Great Job! I appreciate your kind words as I am pretty hard on myself. Part of this "getting healthy" lifestyle is to learn to just be happy with myself regardless of my size, which has always been a battle.…
