You could try Beachbody. I'm in week 2 of Insanity and I've already lost a couple inches, and have so much more energy!! They have a ton of workouts to choose from.

I think you should keep doing both. When I was losing inches AND lbs when I first started about 3 years ago, I was doing cardio 5-6 days a week, and strength training 3 days a week.

THIS!!!!

Girl, you know how proud of you I am, but I still have to say it! I AM SO FREAKIN' PROUD OF YOU!!! And still jealous, but I'm on my way! :happy: GO HEIDI!

Definitely talk to the mother. There is no reason any child (or any ONE) should be touched in any manner they do not approve of, or do not like. ESPECIALLY someone they don't know, and especially when they've already told them to effing stop.

Well, I work 30-35 hours per week on my feet, walking around all day, so my base calories are 1530. I typically burn 300-500 calories per day, and I try to eat enough back that my net is 1200-1300, and I lose weekly when I'm good (eating right, body is used to my workout and not holding water, etc.) If not weight, I…

Hell no! On days where I run and then cycle... once I get on the cycle, I'm literally dripping sweat, and I have to change grips on the machine just so the sweat ON the machine dries, so my arms stop slipping off. lol It makes me feel like SUCH a badass. Insanity is definitely the way to go if you want to sweat more than…

Wow, great job, lady!!!

Best one I know of that's pretty much available anywhere, is Pure Protein. I use Clif Builder Bars. I buy them at Target, Kroger, Whole Foods. Pure Protein is sold at CVS and some gas stations.

1 lb.

If you're just starting out, and trying to lose weight, I say cut it out completely. It will hinder your weight loss GREATLY. Alcohol is a depressant, which means it slows down everything going on in your body, including fat loss. That's why when you drink a lot, the hangover is ridiculous, 'cause you're body isn't doing…

To build muscle: any kind of resistance activity - pilates uses resistance bands that work great, dumbbells for strength training work great... bodyweight exercises, i.e.: squats, lunges, sit ups, plank pose exercises, etc. To eat right, eat lean proteins (and by lean, I just mean low in fat, so just check nutrition…

WOW!!!

If I was completely open, it was an open opportunity, HELL yeah. This weekend, obviously no, 'cause I have a weekend class and then work at 8am on Monday...

Several women on here swear by yoga and pilates for tightening things up in the belly area!

I've heard the last place you lose is the first place you gain, and vice versa. If you notice your belly getting bigger before the rest of your body, it will go last.

I have a panini maker and it works just the same - without the fat tray thingy. I bought it at Target for $20 on sale and I use it to grill veggies, obviously make paninis, but you could probably even put a steak in there! cook both sides no problem. It's from Giada DeLaurentiss' line but I know there are other brands.

maroon with pink lace around the edges :happy:

I have a really good Under Armour one. The trick with sports bras... definitely go to a sporting goods store and try to find a coupon online 'cause they are PRICEY. Look on the tags for what will say "high impact". This means running, anything that makes your girls jump! My Under Armour one is reversible so I wear it one…

You don't. It's part of your lifestyle.

I don't count it unless my heart rate gets very high or I get very sweaty or am moving around really fast.

I'm 168 and a size 12. Aiming to be about 140 and a size 8.

most of the berries that are antioxidants (blueberries, blackberries)... ones i know that are HIGH, so avoid these (don't really avoid them - just monitor them if you're watching your sugar intake): strawberries, kiwi, bananas

How's everyone doing? I doubled up my workouts last night since I didn't have time Monday to do my fit test ... ended up doing fairly well on the fit test - better than the first time a couple weeks ago when I "started" Insanity. Do we want to use the fit test for a way to gauge results as well? Here are mine! Switch…

Psychology!

I didn't get a chance to do the fit test last night, but since it's so short, tonight I'm going to do the fit test & day one's workout. I've already done the fit test since I sort of already started a few weeks ago. I was streaming the videos online, but after about 3 days, they stopped working, so I'm starting over…

I think you're setting yourself up for failure by pairing those two together. If the woman on the right was say, Jessica Biel ... you'd get a different response. The girl in the picture looks underweight, not "fit". When I think fit, I think healthy body weight, and sculpted muscles, a la Jessica Biel, Jennifer Aniston,…

You would be better off adding Shakeology to your routine. They even have a cleanse you can do - 3 shakes per day, with a lean protein and veggies, healthy carb (or salad) for one meal per day, along with fruits & veggies for snacks ... do that for three days, and you can lose a few lbs and detox your body if you've been…
