awesome everyone!! It's so nice to hear all of the fun and cool things that are happening to everyone.. Thanks everyone for sharing!! ok.. I can't believe I'm going to talk about this one.. :embarassed: a few nights ago, I stumbled into the bathroom in the middle of the night.. sat down.. stood up in a flash b/c I thought…

Too bad I'm in Ohio and you're in Mass... I'd help add to that moola.. Personal Training from Banks would be a treat! :bigsmile:

Just thought of another thing.. this is good/bad at the same time... and I can't say it's completely unexpected, but anyway.. I wear my HRM to workout. In the beginning, doing my step class and my zumba classes (totally addicted, BTW).. I would burn anywhere from 600 - 700 calories in an hour.. as I've lost weight and…

Congrats on the suit!! I'm still a little apprehensive about going shopping for one.. but whatever happens, it HAS to be better than what I looked like LAST YEAR! :drinker:

Yeah, why can't we 'choose' where it comes off? :sad: I wouldn't have picked my feet.. and I'd definitely like more off my waist!

:laugh: depending on how much you are starting with, that can be a good, or a bad, thing.. :laugh: I had a little *ahem* extra to lose there.. so I'm not too upset about that part.. :embarassed:

I just have to say I love this thread.. although I haven't vented (yet) :devil: give me time... I'm working up to a few... :laugh:

Thanks! I'm excited.. haven't been in these babies for a LONG time.. :drinker: I'm totally there with you on the freezing thing too!!! guess I've lost a big layer of fat, so I'm not as insulated... :ohwell: Looking forward to not sweating to death this summer! My hubby and I were always fighting over where to set the air…

So, I think I saw a thread like this a while back, but thought I'd start a new one.. For those that have had success in this journey, what are some of the unexpected results that you have seen since you have lost your weight? For me, an unexpected result is that my SHOES are too big. :noway: Really... my shoes. Not really…

Mine too.. and really not a secret... She's awful.. can't understand what Brad Pitt sees in her.. (he's gone pretty down on my list as a result of being with her)... she's NASTY...

Thanks to 3babybeans and cham0194 for your thoughts.. :flowerforyou: I agree, I think I'll start with the girly ones and go from there... I'll do them tonight (if I can remember) and let you know how it goes.. I'm thinking I can start in week 2 or 3... Thanks again! Looking forward to some toned arms in the near future!

OK folks.. I 'kinda' started this last week and got sidetracked.. :grumble: I'm still unsure of how I should go about this. I can bust out 25+ girly pushups no problem, but when it comes to 'plank' style, I can 'kindof' do 2 or 3... I really struggle and I only make it about halfway down... So, is it better to do lots of…

Hi y'all.. I'm jumping on your bandwagon.. I've been lurking, reading about your progress for a while (makes me sound like a stalker :laugh: ).. You've inspired me to get started.... so... I can do a few plank style pushups, but I can't go down as far as you should, so I've decided to start with the girly ones and go from…

39 HOURS! :noway: This is further proof I need to invest in p90x and do more strength training! If I do that and maybe start to try Banks' HIIT I might be able to get these last 12 VERY STUBBORN pounds to GO AWAY!

1. My first job was picking tomatoes on a farm. :noway: 2. I am a sick, twisted freak (thank you, Glenn Beck) :tongue: 3. My Grandpa called me petunia when I was little, and I chose my screen name in his honor :heart:

Sorry.. posted this in another p90x thread, but I think this is the most 'active'? Thanks! ____________________________________________________ Hi Y'all.. I have questions about P90x.. I've been thinking about getting the program, but I have some questions first and though you guys could help me.. I also don't want to…

As usual, awesome advice... Thank you! :drinker:

I can't wait for it to turn warmer so my kids can play outside... life is so much easier when you can go for a bike ride! Thanks for the reminder that it's just around the corner.. :flowerforyou:

I hear ya.. I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago, and I was a blithering idiot as the wheeled me into the O.R.. :sad: I even asked if they could do a local.. :laugh: at the time, of course, the surgeon told me that living with a bad gall bladder was riskier than the surgery.. I obviously can live with my extra skin..…
