my definition of cheating is super simple: saying or doing anything you wouldn't say or do in front of your significant other. you should both be very clear on what's ok and what's not from the very beginning, that way you can be mature and decide if this relationship will work for both of you. i don't have to know every…

thank you all for your responses! the amount of support and activity on this website is amazing. i plan to do p90x or p90x2 after i finish insanity. i'd like to get hooked on working out and finish all of the workouts. :smile: i've been a little sore the last couple of days, but nothing like i was after the fit test.…

that's wonderful! and it's just a matter of rime before your body gets used to not eating a lot and eating bad foods. you'll do great! :smile:

i own a tanning bed and love having tan skin, but i absolutely hate lying in it. i naturally have olive skin and tan easily so i'll get in several times a week for a couple of weeks until i get dark, then only a couple of times a week to maintain. eventually i get tired of it and don't tan for months. after my color…

welcome! first, i have to say that i love your picture, your smile is contagious. :happy: i can completely relate to the desk job and night time eating.. i have those two to thank for my entire midsection. :grumble: you're at the right place if you have the desire to reach your goals but need a little push. you're going to…

well, i finally got to the point of almost falling asleep, then i read this comment, lol'd and now i'm wide awake again. :bigsmile: @Sagruf welcome and good luck! with all the tools and support on this website, you can definitely get there. :smile:

oh, don't let your scale get the best of you. your clothes and the way you feel will be the best indicators of how well you're doing. i weigh myself every day but i mostly do it because my diet is pretty basic and i want to see how different things affect my ups and downs. for example, i always notice a greater loss after…

welcome! congrats on not giving up on diet and exercise, even though you haven't seen any results lately. it really takes a great deal of will power to do that and you should be proud of yourself. i'm sorry i can't offer any advice on prednisone, but i'm sure you'll be able to find plenty support here. i just did a search…

welcome my fellow alabamian! as tempting as they are for the bare simplicity, i completely agree with the pay for diets comment. they don't work in the real world. imagine going to a restaurant and having a panic attack cause if it's not prepackaged and microwavable. you don't know what to eat.. awful. so, what's your game…

great job! you look awesome!! :bigsmile:

welcome! 12lbs loss is huge, what have you been doing to drop it?

bump from birmingham for the alabama folks. :smile: good to see so many of us here!

amazon.com is like my bible.. when i'm researching a product, it's always my starting point. in several years now, it has yet to let me down. :smile:

welcome! if you're looking for support and good advice, you're definitely in the right place. good luck reaching your goals! :smile:

welcome back and good luck! :smile:

welcome to you both! congratulations for taking the first step. :smile: now, i'm no pro at this, but i do know that when i'm too hard on myself, i usually end up feeling overwhelmed and end up giving up. it's good to admit to having a problem and reaching out, but try to be realistic about setting your goals and giving…

welcome! i have several high school friends who have been in the military for many years now and absolutely love it. i don't understand the desire, but, i sure do appreciate it. :smile: one thing that always helps me with my diet.. drink a lot of fluids. if you're like me and can't stand drinking a lot of water cause it…

welcome! your title makes perfect sense. growing up, i loved to walk but hated running. for the last couple of years i've really been wanting to get into running. everyone i know who runs started off hating it, but ended up making it something they can't live without. i admire all runners.. ok, i'll admit, there may be a…

welcome and good luck reaching your goals! :smile:

welcome! like AmiKayser, i would have lived to see a gtl crack somewhere in there.. :glasses: good job on your current progress and good luck reaching your goal. :smile:

welcome and congratulations on your amazing weight loss, neighbor! i've been in birmingham for a bit over 10 years now but still haven't had enough of this wonderful southern hospitality. so.. i look forward to seeing your progress as you continue on your journey and seeing a whole lot of y'all, hun, darlin, etc in posts.…

welcome! a few hours here and you'll find yourself overwhelmed with support. :smile: good luck reaching your goals!

@LauRoxx thanks for your post, love to hear people are having great results with it. :) @ashleynicoleh yes, please! you are waaaay ahead of me. how do you feel? are you still sore or has that worn off? have you seen goo results? @alipasquarell after such a success with this post, there's no way i can not do it. i already…

@amywhite8809 ok, that makes me feel better. after the fit test, i've been dreading day 1.. i will keep you posted how it goes. :) @kemahone second round? you must really like it. have you tried p90x? @sloanie1 i don't remember ever in my adult life not having cellulite, what's that like? hahaha it's so great to hear you…

@amywhite8809 along with taking my before pictures in the same (ahem!) bikini, i also got a pair of my favorite jeans i couldn't fit in years and i would take a picture of my progress towards being able to zip them. for me, clothes are the best indicator of how well i'm doing. also, i know a lot of people are against it,…

@amywhite8809 woot woot! that's wonderful! i lost 25lbs last summer in less than 2 months, but in a very unhealthy way - supplements and not eating. (i know, i know...) fortunately, i've been within 5lbs (up and down) since then. i haven't been working out and i haven't been eating great, but i'm more conscious about what,…

@amywhite8809 so you're day 1 of week 2? so, if i did my first workout tonight i'd be one week behind you. i'm definitely up to it, it would be neat so see how much of a difference a week makes. did you take before and after pictures? how much are you trying to lose?

@jstock9 well, how bout starting over now? it would be much easier sticking with it if you're doing it with someone. :) @dawnspradley did you finish the entire insanity program and then go to p90x? my goal is to finish the insanity program, then go back and finish p90x and p90x2. i loved p90x, but my wrists had a lot of…

yay, i'm not alone! :happy: @jmmbrent did you do the fit test today or the actual workout? i've been dreading the first workout since i did the fit test about a week ago. i've been sick and in bed the last few days, but feeling much better and ready to get started. it would be great to be on the same schedule doing this. i…

that's what i'm starting this week. i really wanted to find someone who would do it at the same time as myself so we can compare notes, progress, etc. have you tried or finished it?
