It is a success story and goes to show how hard we are on ourselves. I think it is almost tougher when you are used to being tiny and wearing small sizes. Congrats to you and maybe this woman is right, I notice women tend to look older when they are super lean especially in their face so if she is still rocking in her 50's…

I think it is still a work in progress I still find myself looking at clothing that is 4 sizes too big, and then I get anxious when I grab the correct size for fear it won't fit. I like the yoga, belly dancing idea, that is great. I keep a before photo out on my fridge as a reminder of how far I have come, that helps keep…

I switched to Green Tea, been 28 days off the diet coke, sad I know. My skin looks a lot better, and my abs are more defined so it is true even diet soda bloats you. I can't say I will abstain forever but it is worth cutting back.

I struggle with my addiction to Diet Coke as well, I am very fond of fountain Diet Coke that is my true vice. I gave it up for lent, cold turkey and honestly my skin has never looked better, and I feel great. I really hope I licked this one for good. I make pitchers of Green Tea and drink it on ice. I really like it and I…

Crackers of any kind they are my weakness especially Wheat Thins, and Cheese Its!

Oatmeal, thomas whole grain english muffins and mini-bagels, la tortilla factory wraps, other whole grains sweet potatoes, quinoa, brown rice,fruit? I struggle with carbs too tend to follow the lean protein/South Beach format, but have found they do help keep your energy up. You will hear Tony's quotes in your sleep as you…

As of Friday my husband and I are officially P90X graduates. I am very pleased with my results I didn't drop a lot of weight only 3lbs but I have more definition in my arms, triceps, back, and legs, clothes are looser and I just feel great. It really changed my whole fitness philosophy. I bought the p90X plus and plan to…

You can enjoy anything in moderation. I often say I work-out so hard and really watch what I eat so that I can enjoy the finer things like beer & cheese my absolute favorite combo in the world:drinker: :drinker: In moderation of course!

Jess did 5 rounds of P90X and I am excited to finish 1. Impressive!!!! Friday the 27th I am officially done. I know I will incorporate a lot of the routines into my work-outs and I think I will do a full round in the Winter. It really is a great way to mix things up when you are stuck indoors. Good luck everyone.

I just finished week 11 yesterday and today on my off day I went for a run. I have been following the classic version to try and wean myself from too much cardio. I have to say P90X has done something for my endurance because I ran my usual 5 miles and barely broke a sweat I felt I could have kept going and going. Some…

I really believe our bodies have a comfortable "weight". I got down to my all time low weight for my wedding 2.5 years ago and always have that as my target, but just can't seem to get there. I still stay active, work-out, watch my diet and struggle with 5lbs. My husband always tells me my body is comfortable where I am…

I gave it up for a couple months and found it very freeing but also found myself indulging a bit more so I am back to once a week. I figure a weekly check in is much healthier than daily, and I always do it on Fridays to give myself encouragment to behave over the weekend. Good luck, it really can be a battle for some of…

You won't bulk up, and best of all you will suprise yourself at what you can do. I never thought I could do half of this stuff. My shoulders look amazing I can't wait to wear sleeveless tops, that is the part I have noticed most improvement on. I am sure everyone is different.

Boca chili, 150 calories and 20 grams of protein filling, and easy.

I think P90 is much more fun with a partner. Many days my hubby was my rock to keep me going, and if we don't do it together he always asks me if I brought it today? Jes thanks for all your help and tips with this process. I am in week 10 and planning life after P90X my goal is to keep up with the weights, and pick up my…

Now that we're all master yogi's who can do the crane? It is ridiculous! Makes me look forward to legs & back tomorrow that is for sure.:smile:

I cracked up reading everyone's comments on the yoga. I have to break it up because I don't have 90 minutes available at 1 time, so I do the first part in the morning the balance section after work. It helps me to break it up, and I find the balance section relaxes me after work.

You won't have time to eat much at your wedding so my best advice is enjoy the tastings. Good luck! How exciting and fun.

That he loves you for being you:smile:

Yesterday was day 60 for me and the results are astounding. I have always been pear shaped let's just say that is drastically changing. Keep at it everyone you will see results. I am camera shy but will post a before and after at day 90.

I wore the hrm during plyo a couple times and mine was high too but that is normal for me.

Give Core Syn. one more time and you will be hooked. I love that one. My hubby can't lift his legs straight for pfeifer scissors either it is funny!

I have only thrown up from Plyo :laugh: Saturday starts Phase III for me, kind of sad this has been a great journey.

Scrambled egg whites, canadian bacon, and english muffins make it into my rotation a couple times a month. Super easy, and healthy if you buy lean canadian bacon and thomas multigrain english muffins.

Hey Jess, have you tried the P90X extreme? I ordered it yesterday to try after phase 3. Just curious.

I have to admit I used to make myself crazy with the scale, so part of my committment to P90 was to only weigh in and take measurements once a month. I lost 2 lbs month 1, and will weigh in on the 27th for month 2. I will let you know how it goes, but can say I feel so good and strong I am not concerned about the scale. I…

Boca Chili, YUM!

We got the bar from beach body and it works great in a door way. My hubby and I are on week 7 and love, love, love the program. Plyo is a burner OMG! I wasn't the biggest fan of the yoga and even that has grown on me.

I agree the 100 cal snack packs are usually awful. I was craving a Little Debbie Nutty Bar gave in and bought one and it tasted terrible, I haven't had one in years so sometimes wasted calories are a good thing because you realize how much your taste has improved:smile:

Snow shoeing for 60 minutes burns around 480 believe it or not and is fun and gets you some fresh air. Rollar blading is similar calorie wise.
