Hi Sorry....have been MIA big time. HS - pics are amazing, your extra tone is fabulous!!! Once I'd finished Insanity I felt really out of sorts, I didn't ever do my last fit test or even bother to apply for my T-shirt. I've not done ANY exercise since, and my diet has been appalling!!! I did order Hip Hop abs in the end…

Well I've posted some pics but pretty hard to 'spot the difference', From the side you can see my middle is thinner, otherwise can't see any extra definition or anything.Haven't done my final fit test yet but took measurements yesterday. Everything the same except the following: Biceps + 3/4" Bust - 3/4" Thighs - 1" Tummy…

Welcome back HS, got mixed up with your hols and thought you'd ben in London hence the weather comment. Glad you had a great time. Amazing how quickly it can all go, think I'm going to hit the rowing machine for a week, maybe two then have another go, but not worry about timescales so much. If I don;t fancy it one day or…

I'm on the home strait, single digits left of each workout... Had a late night on Tuesday and a few G&T's and glasses of bubbly to celebrate our wedding anniversary so didn't do yesterdays workout until 9.30pm and I...was...on...fire!!! My HRM bleeped at me for the first time ever ,during the last round of the warm up, my…

Well done Amber - you've made it!!! Am sooo very proud of you. Would be a shame to lose touch, are you a facebooker? If so, pls send me a request, tamsin henman, profile pic is me and my hubby. What are your plans after your hols? More insanity, something different?? I'm still not sure what to do. Fancied a bit of fun with…

Something I saw on another post...... " I'd like to share something I saw right around the time I started doing Insanity. I hesitated to share it earlier because I did not want it to have an adverse effect on the group. I was watching a morning show - don't remember which one - and they had several fitness products "as…

Have a wonderful vacation HS. I've just done MIC, have 7 work outs left before the final fit test. Speak to you when you get back. Having you guys for support has kept me going through this journey, knowing we were doing it together. Thank you xxx

Excellent effort Amber. 16 inches and 11 pounds is fantastic - very proud of you. I'm very much an al or nothing person so worry that by missing any I won't go back at all. Thankfully I've got back into it - but where I was quite enjoying it last week, I'm hating it this week. Worked from home today and felt myself nodding…

Wow - fantastic. Amazing effort!! You should be very proud of yourself. I changed into my training gear last night and made it hrough the warmup and no further. Was no point going throught the motions of PLYO, then getting an hours less sleep. So I decided to write it off and move on. Got up this morning and did Max Cardio…

Didn't get to do MIC yesterday in the end. After a late night on Sunday I gave myself a lie in yesterday with the intention of doing it when I got home, but it was unseasonally hot yesterday and I just couldn't face it. So I dragged myself out of bed at 6am this morning with a slight headache and upset tummy (allergies),…

Played catch up on Saturday after missing Fridays session and did MCC, Abs and CC&B. Didn't start till gone 9pm so was a late one but I did manage to get my husband to do CC&B with me. Considering how hard he found the last one he attempted with me then I was proud that he was prepared to give it a go. He struggled, and…

HS - Sorry to hear about the allergy flare up, sounds horrid - hope you're able to clear it up really quickly. can't believe you're only a few workouts away!!! It's been such an emotional journay I'm feeling nostalgic for it already and it hasn;t even finished yet!! A - great effort on the MIC. The forced ones that don't…

Hi Amber :drinker: HS - Home gym does sound glamourous and we're fortunate to have the space (long story but we bought this house with my husbands mum to offer her some post retirement sanctuary as her house was old and she couldn't manage it, when I was expecting my daughter 8 yrs ago - things didn't work out and we…

I really hate routine, and especially if I have to be somewhere to do it - that combined with my husbands alternating shifts rules out gym work and classes. I was thinking of doing CC&B for a week then having a go with hip hop abs, a bit light weight but a bit more fun, to try and focus on my middle a bit more. Maybe after…

Good luck for the double, not looking forward to that one!! I've turned a corner!! Woo Hoo!! I had Sat off, and have increased my food and hydration. I wore my HR monitor for 24hrs over the weekend and it reckoned I'd burned 3200 Cals, no wonder my body was shutting down on 1500. The teambeachbody site puts my caloric…

Recovery - hmm, should be done under the trades descriptions act!!! Struggled through it, so much more upper body work and I was so sore. Have stopped aching now and got on ok with MIC yesterday but haven't done Plyo today, intended to but it hasn't happened. Motivation and energy at a real low at the moment. As I've had…

Big hugs HS - looks like you're having the kind of day I had yesterday. It's impossible to be a superstar everyday, important to listen to your body and cut yourself the slack to have an off day. I'm definitely craving more food in general and succumbing to the odd sweet morsel. Thankfully I've found some great sugar free…

It's official - Shaun T IS trying to kill me!! Struggled to get my head in the zone today and when I did finally force myself to do Max Plyo - O....MG!!! I was pretty much sobbing by the end, some pof those moves, my god!! Sure it was exacerbated by my lack of mojo today but I just felt defeated. Had a bash but was a poor…

Hi How was CC HS?, and doing Abs as well - am very impressed. After my euphoric endorphin high yesterday I've come crashing down with a bump. Had a rubbish day at work yesterday and was exhausted by 5pm, by the time i got to bed at 10.30pm I was shuffling round like an old woman. Woke up this morning followaing my 5am…

Well my theory paid off........I've been imagiing the worst possible painful impossible workout (without peeking at the session in advance) with the expectation that I'd only be able to manage a few of the exercises, and anything more would be a bonus. Alarm went up at 5am and by 5.30am I could put it off no…

Well my daughter disappeared for a sleepover, and my fab sister took my son out for an hour or so, giving me the opportunity to get the workout in that I couldn't do this morning. So I decided to do the fit test......and the CC&B, burned 649 calories and feeling very virtuous. Though I have to say that I usally enjoy CC&B,…

Hey, you really are amazing, a true inspiration. Month 2 really scaring me!! Don't think I can manage a single one handed press up...... Didn't get to do CC&B yesterday, didn't get home until about 12.30am - intended to do it then but hubby was watching tv when I got back, by the time his programme had finished was nearly…

Amazing results, especially as you were feeling so rubbish!! Great job carrying on after throwing up!! I took my 30 day pics last night, put off doing it as I didn't expect to see much improvement and didn't want to be deflated....and guess what, there wasn't much change and I'm feeling deflated. Pah!! I know it all hapens…

Sorry to hear you've been poorly HS, but great job fighting through the fit test and Max Interval, awesome effort!!! The following website highlights a lot of the attractions in London, and there are loads. Really depends on what you are interested in. There are lots of walking tours and bus tours that would allow you to…

Hey LU123, great to have you back :drinker: Congrats on completing the degree, what was your degree in?? We were in Gower last August, we did a three week tour of Wales and the South West in the motor home, boy did it rain!!! As for places to visit, I was thinking Cotswolds, Statford-Upon-Avon, Warwick - totally agree…

Was nervous about recovery. Missed the last plyo session and haven't had the enthusiasm to pick t back up, back has been too sore. Worried about making excuses tho, so may try to do it during the recovery week. Feeling better after doing recovery, was pleased to have a break from the full on sessions tho and was surprised…

Hi Thanks for the birthday wishes. The day started out quite rubbish but got better. The motorhome needs work and by the time we'd been to the garage it made it too late to get organised and find somewhere to stay. We need to be back sun afternoon as Kev working Sun night, so would have been too much rush for too little…

Excellent progress on the dips, pushups and drills - they are really hard. They guys on the dvd make them look sooo easy!!! Mind you, I could barely manage one press up before starting this so who knows, we may make it look easy in another few weeks!! My only 'experience' of Miami is watching 'Miami Ink' on TV, always…

LOL - just re-read, meant 'quads to my hips' - not 'quads to my thighs'....I knew what I meant LOL
