Congrats! How different do you look and feel?

Lost inches and a few pounds. I'm happy about it and I can feel muscles in my arms and legs when I couldn't before. Pretty psyched about it. lol

Hm, how goes it with the Vibrams? I have a pair and didn't even think about using them for the workouts!

LOL Right? My husband uses our gardening knee pad thingy. Doesn't work for me so I just put up with the burns. :cry:

Well, I'm pretty outta shape but heck, I'm improving. Though, I gotta say, the standing-laying-standing moves kill me. I'm just not fast enough yet. This darn gut. Slowly leaving... Oh, so slowly... Switch Kicks : 50 --> 100 Power Jacks : 27 --> 30 Power Knees : 43 --> 73 Power Jumps : 19 -->16 :sad: Globe Jumps : 5--> 6…

:laugh:

Thanks for all the tips everyone!

LMAO. Never are my husband and I! We're attempting! :D And thanks for the advice.

lol

Hm. I see what you're saying. I haven't seen people quit it yet (then again, I have been in the 'community' long either) but I didn't know if I was missing something since I started the program a couple weeks into starting my exercising. Been going strong so far. Bummer for others. I tried doing the P90 and that guy just…

I don't understand what you're trying to say... How is doing Insanity setting themselves up for failure?

Doing well here! Doing my workouts in the morning or at nap time and going strong! Feeling a little bummed about the last weigh in but going to keep trying to "dig deeper"! :happy:

I know it's nice to see even 1lb but it's so darn frustrating when you feel like you're busting your butt and see (with your eyes) very little results.

Probably at home. I was going to the gym before I started Insanity but the only thing for people with kids only has 3 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, and a couple of stationary bikes.

You look amazing! If you don't mind me asking, what was your workout and eating like to lose?

I thought it was a bit easier as well! I just hope the boredom doesn't set in too quickly from the repetitive routines.

My husband feels the same way!!! More success stories from the men!

Actually, we are in the same category! I weighed 225 when I started and now I'm 222 after gaining a pound this week. :sad: I figured with me being as large as I as there would be something... But inches went up slightly as well. Talk about upset! Lol still going to push through though. I think I can! I think I can! I think…

I really appreciate all the helpful advice and kind words. I've just kept gaining since out was out of high school and since I am trying to join the Air Force and have a time limit, due to my age, not having one of those lovely bodies that just drip fat by dropping caloric drinks (Which I've never really had too much soda…

Eh, I would open it but when people get into it, they can sometimes be VERY judgmental and I just haven't been a fan of that. But that being said, since I've been tracking everything, I do track my sodium and only went over once and sometimes not even getting close, I also track my fiber along with Cals, carbs, fats, and…

I track every thing that lands in my purty little mouth because I don't want to fall into that trap! Thank you for your help!

Okay. Thank you!

I do eat as close to net cals as possible. Due to work schedule, I may fall short some days. Others, I accidentally go over. But I get it as close as possible every day. Also, I don't weigh, but I measure my food.

I've already mentioned in my OP that I'm also gaining inches as well because I am taking measurements.

Hmph. :grumble: Okay. ETA: If I mostly drink water, all day, every day, wouldn't that already be happening?

I will NEVER, EVER wait until the end of the day to do this again. I have worked from 12-9:30 today and then got to it. I felt exhausted, and tired, and less than what I could have been had I done it this morning. Never again!!! lol

lol Wheat belly?

Curiously, Crystal Light also has aspartame in it. But like I stated, it's not an every day thing.

Gotta say, that is a *kitten* ton of soda. [/quote] Yeah, I know. I drink a ton of whatever's in the house. If we don't have soda, I'll drink a few gallons of water a day. Not sure why, but it runs in my family. We also use ungodly amounts of salt, I think the two go hand in hand... [/quote] Oh okay. lol I was just a wee…

I haven't but I normally find that I don't need to. I don't mind plain water, I just state it that way to emphasize that that's exactly what I'm having. :smile:
