I have not done P90X before but I have done other programs like Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Fat Shredder and Insanity. This is more about building muscle so honestly, at the end I feel like I have too much energy left in comparison to the ridiculous cardio you do in those other programs. Good luck and keep pushing play,…

Hello, I'm in a support group through Facebook with several hundred people working out various programs (gym, running marathons, and working out at home). We don't require that you purchase any products from us to be added and we don't try to sell you stuff once you're in. We just focus on helping our teams get the best…

You'll almost certainly have to make them on your own. You can use either low sodium soy sauce or Bragg's Liquid Aminos which not only has more protein but is also considerably lower in sodium...but of course it's more expensive than soy sauce. Also, just try to think outside the box. Use lower sodium soy sauce, and add…

I'm not sure what you mean by "I am doing beach body." Are you doing a www.teambeachbody.com program or are you doing some kind of workout that is called "Beach Body?" Sent you a friend req, hit me up if you have any questions.

I did T25 several months ago and it is pretty hard core for just 25 minutes. I loved it and will probably do it again sometime. I'm doing P90X right now and will probably go to X2 then maybe X3 or back to T25. I've done Insanity before. T25 is good stuff, stick to it all the way through Gamma and you'll have really…

Not sure if you're working out now or not but if you're out of shape, that will definitely slow your progress toward reaching that goal. Next, just start doing simple stretches every day, maybe even twice a day. After a good cardio workout, stretching usually allows you to go a little further. As tight as your muscles…

I'm doing P90X now and I did T25 a couple months ago. T25 is great if you're pressed on time. It is literally 25 minutes, start to finish. It's pretty intense and with the levels (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) you get increasingly harder workouts every month. P90x is great for building muscle. It's the first program I've done where…

I also do at home workout programs and my biggest factor for continuing is variety. I've done Jillian MIcheals Fat Shredder, Insanity, T25, now I"m doing P90X and I plan to do the other P90s and then find something else. That and I'm in a group of people on Facebook who are working out also so that daily reminder helps…

I used to really want something sweet after dinner too and it was more when I ate something either really spicy or really salty for dinner...or lunch. It didn't really matter. I've combatted it at lunch by eating more meals in the day so I'm periodically snacking so I'm not hungry. As for dinner, for awhile I would eat…

I'm in a challenge group on Facebook of over 500 people. Most of us workout with at home DVD programs like T25, PIYO, P90X, Slim in 6, Jillian Michael's Fat Shredder, etc but there are some doing C25k or going to a gym and other programs. The group is free and there's no pressure to buy anything. It's just a large group of…

It can get tedious tracking calories and weighing food but don't let a bad day take you into a downward spiral. If you have a bad day, recognize it, embrace it and think of how it made you feel and that you won't be able to reach your goals if you keep on like that. Then let it go, and get ready to start a new day.

If you'd be interested in joining a challenge group on Facebook with several hundred people in it, we'd love to be your support. I sent you a PM. Hope you can find the support you need to make that life changing decision stick!

You're right to approach this as a life changing experience and not a diet. If it's a diet, when the diet's over, you will always gain back the weight. Are you working out along with tracking your calories on MFP? How much weight are you looking to lose? What have been the biggest factors to your getting off track in the…

We have a Facebook challenge group of over 500 people and we just started one on Monday but anyone can join anytime they want. I've found it to be really helpful with the large number of active people posting results, workouts, and recipe ideas daily. It's free to join. Sent you a PM, let me know if you're interested.

T25 is great and the intensity is there. I loved the 25 minute workouts (+3 minute cool down afterward) and I love working out with ShawnT since I finished Insanity. I haven't done P90X3 but I'm doing P90X right now and I love Tony Horton too. I started out with him by watching his videos on YouTube and laughed my butt off…

Go here: http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ And figure your Total Daily Energy expenditure with exercise included, and then subtract about 300 calories from that number and you'll lose weight. 1200 calories per day is not sustainable and you deserve to be eating more than that. Your body needs the fat and carbs to maintain…

How tall are you and how much do you weigh? 1200 calorie diet is pretty slim and you may have destroyed your metabolism. Go to this site: http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ And figure your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (including the number of days exercising) and then take 200 or 300 off that and that's what you should be…

Everyone feels like quitting every once in awhile. There's atleast one time every week I feel like sleeping an extra hour and skipping today's workout. You gotta think of the end game, and what you're long term goals are. They can't be something simple like fitting into that bikini or looking great for that upcoming…

Do you like spicy things? If so, try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGLBjtXU_QU I made mine with 99% FF turkey and oats and oat flour with egg whites. I honestly can't really taste the sriracha sauce anyway so I have to dip'em in Sriracha but you could honestly substitute any liquid flavor your wanted. Soy sauce,…

If you're so certain, please provide references.

Wow the critics. Quest bars have been the best in my opinion. They're usually <10 ingredients of relatively normal ingredients. I also suggest making your own, as I have done, I prefer this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oklhS0fn7qA Look on YouTube for Michael Kory Fitness and The Protein Chef. They make great…

Great job! It feels so good when the weight finally starts falling off. At home DVD's have worked out best for me. It's awesome when you find what works for you!

My head used to itch and still does a little bit sometimes when I sweat. I remember I used to more frequently have that problem when I was younger which is why I never wore hats, hated hats. I started with Insanity was able to finish that which I thought was freaking amazing at 34 and have never really worked out seriously…
-
Hey, T25 is a great program. I've worked it most the way through Alpha phase so far. I love Shaun T which is why I chose this program after I finished Insanity. I needed something less serious to just keep working cause I'm going on a couple week vacation soon. If you're interested in a Facebook support group, we have a…

1. Nap time. 2. DVD's to workout at home. Works for me and I'm not a stay at home. ;)

Welcome!

Hey, what type of workouts are you doing? I've found that working out at home with DVDs has worked best for me. I had a hard time coming home after work and then forcing myself to go to the gym later. Hope you can make it stick this time! Feel free to friend me.

I'd say you've taken some great first steps by logging on here and joining a gym. I've been doing MFP now for about 6 months and I think it's been as important to losing my weight as has been the workouts. I was going to a gym for a year and it never really worked out for me. I never seemed to gain much muscle and never…
