I'm on week 5 of Beta round, and still love it lol. This is my second round of the whole program. I really like the length of the workout the most, I barely ever make an excuse for not doing 25 whole minutes of exercise. I'm not doing any other exercise, other then walking to work and back most days (40 mins total). Some…

I didn't see any major results for most of Alpha round (first 5 weeks) and I only noticed my yoga pants were a little loose, and my was stamina up. However, in Beta! Oh man! When I finished beta I was quite a few inched down, like 3 inches off waist and 2 off my hips (which brings me to a 40 inch hip for the first time in…

I was diagnosed at 21, and I'll be 25 in 3 weeks. I'm on 75mg of Synthroid a day, and it's not too bad. Of all the meds that people have to take on a daily basis, thyroid meds are ok. I found the book, "The Thyroid Diet" really helpful, and I reference it a few times a week. It's got everything from how to handle the…

Dry shampoo is your best friend! I wash my hair normally twice a week to keep my color and moisture in, and use dry shampoo after my workout most days. the brands Pssssst! and Got 2 Be are decent, and the one from Redkin. I also use Redkin's Diamond Oil once a twice as a moisture and protein treatment (the protein is…

I haven't finished Insanity, but I'm on week 6 in the second half. This will be the 3 third time I've started... Yes I had to stop a couple times, but that was because life got in the way.... But I keep going back to Insanity! You want motivation? I'm down 7 lbs, and have lost 3 inches from my waist, and 1 inch off my…

I started using the Isagenix products some time last year. My boyfriend and I did the 30 days basic cleanse. It was awesome. I cooked healthy meals most of the time, but during the cleanse you only have one meal a s day and the other two get replaced my the IsaLean shakes. I figured, if I was only eating one meal a day, I…

I sorta had to deal with this a few years ago when I had a couple female roomeates. They ate my food... and when I bought a treat, it would be gone in a day or two. And suddenly I get blamed for thier overeating cuz I bought ruffles chips or made a huge macaroni salad (supposed to have lasted several days, but was gone it…

Hi there, I've done BodyRev and a bit of P90X, so more opinions are clearly welcome to get the other side of the argument. :) Do you have 45-60 a day to workout? That's not including shower at the end. P90X is much more intense and the workouts are 45 -60 minutes long (not including the 90 minute Yoga X video). But you can…

WoW, great responses! Thanks everyone! I don't think checking the school's of America will help me , since I live in Eastern Canada. Sorry, forgot that detail so no worries. I'm actually reading up on an Aikido school that's not too far from my apartment, drops ins/try outs classes for newbies are $20 tho... Meh might…

WoW!!! There is such an amazing difference in the pictures! So inspiring!!

I'm currently doing my second round of Insanity, and there was a good 3 months of school related nonsense between, and I love it. I have found that I need the high intensity workouts over the leisurely hour at the gym. The one thing for me, and that I highly recommend, is try not to worry about the number on the scale.…

Heck yes I take breaks! It usually involves me falling on the floor after push-up jacks... I'm in week 4 of my first time. I'm having a blast and giving it everything I got during the workout, but I have gotten particularily fond of breathing. It's nice to breath... Also, my wrists get really sore pretty fast, so the moves…

I'm proud of my self for doing my Insanity work-out in the morning instead of the evening today. I haven't been able to get out of bed early enough to work-out/shower/dress/etc... until this morning! Must say, I like the surge it gives me.

<-- New Brunsick! And welcome to the co-operative madness!

This actually happend to me a couple years ago! LOL Different circumstances I'm sure though. A weird bump in my breat was bothering me for a couple months, so I asked about it during a regular Doctor's apointment. The Doc did a full breat examination, smiled, and told me it was a rib too. I mentioned this to my mom later,…

When I first started university, being a vegan was a big thing. I did a lot of a reaserch, and decided I would give the lifestyle a try. After about two months I felt so weak and sick I went to doctor. I didn't vary the diet enough to be sutiable, and after a blood test, my doc discovered I had developed a b12 and iron…

I buy mine at GNC, either the physical store or online. I use Promosil. It's a bit expensve at just under $50 for a 2 lb tub, but it only has 90 calories per scoop, and has 20g of protein. I usually mix it with water or skim milk on gym days. I was recomended Promosil because it has low calories per serving, and is great…

My scheduale is so busy, but I really want to start again, and stick with it this time. 1st of the month, and a sunday to boot, I know I can do this. I bought a cute little journal to track myself too :)

I've used "diet teas" for a little while now, and the only draw back I've had is the intense bowel cramping the first day or two. I use Laci Le Beau's Super Dieter's Tea, and it calls for a 6 oz cup each evening an hour before bed. It has Senna and Stevia powerder, as well as powdered Phsylum husk. I was recomended it by a…

My biggest body model is Shakira. My friend and I will be working out, and one of us just says "Shakira Abs!" nd we suddenly start working out harder! Plus, very curvy. :)

Hi there! I'm just under 5'3", started at 164lbs, and am shooting for 125-130lbs. I'm doing a combo of 30 Day Shred, Brazil Butt Lift, and going to the gym. I've mostly been doing the DVDs when I can't fit the gym, and incorperating all the excersises I've learned into my workout. Excersise and hitting the gym isn't my…

I actually had this same question a while ago, so I just did some reasearch and watch some samples of the workout on youtube. Of the two, I really liked the Brazil Butt lift. Laeandro really makes it fun, and it's like you're dancing, but, suprise! you're getting a great workout too. Bum Bum is a blast to do, and is a…

For the eating, just make decent choices, like salads with the dressing on the side, complex whole grains, and other healthy nonsense. Don't stress over it either, you're traveling and should enjoy it. You could always look up word in those languages to better communicate those choices too. As for working out, no girl…

Wow there are so many really good "secret goals" here. Very inspiring! Biggest goal - to buy a victoria's secret bikini and finally show off my rib tattoo. I want my boyfriend to become so inspired by all my hard work and determination to get fit with me, and with both of us in shape, our 'night games' will become more…

I'm 5'4", currently 163lbs, and my goal weight is 130lb, or lower when I get that far. I am very curvy, and would like to keep it that way ;P. My calories/day are set to 1340/day, with a cardio work out 5x/wk, and strength training 3x/wk with a sedentary/lightly active lifestyle. I often eat some of my exercise calories,…

Try to relax. It's only been 3 weeks, and it takes something like 5-6 week for the body to adjust to any new lifestyle change. From the sounds of it, you've got things undercontrol. It's just taking time for your body to catch up to the changes. I agree with charneus too, you're probly starting to build muscle, which is…

Tie your hair back and don't wash it? I have medium thick hair, so it stays clean for a few days without washing. I also hit the gym 5 days/week, some of those day overlap/coincide. So I tie my hair into a neat bun on top of my head, and I simply don't wash it. I take the bun out, brush, and good as a just-washed head…

My fashion studio was where to be today! Everyone put in for pizza and soda, a few people brought in baked good, and others passed out chocolates of various sizes. I had already worked the pizza into the days calories, and stuck to my two small slices. However, I had to indulge in the red velvet cake ball dipped in dark…
