Awesome story--thanks for sharing! I want to come back to this in the future :)

great inspiration and great job!

You look amazing! How long did it take you to lose all the weight? Great job!

Wow, gives me hope! You all are a huge inspiration and I pray to someday (soon) be able to add my pictures! Thanks for sharing ;)

Awesome job! Thanks for sharing and for debunking the "bulk up" myth in women! Love how I feel when I lift--though I've got a long way to go to get where you are:)

bumping for future!

Yum, this sounds delicious and easy to make. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome job! Keep up the hard work and you'll be at goal in no time;)

I just bought it this morning on eBay. Was slightly used but with 2 day shipping, only paid $105!!!! Was thrilled! Still not sure how I'm going to sell hubby on it once it comes, but I couldn't pass it up. I'm all over beachbody and its products. In fact, I have most of them and im a coach, so this makes me nervous to be…

Thanks Kiki, I'm keeping this for future reference and motivation when I'm depressed and mad over the evil scale number!!

Bump for later...dont have time to read it all right now!

I'm in my first week of Insanity, I could really use the accountability! Count me in:)

Awesome results! I hope to be posting the same good news 58 days from now!

I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail, hopefully today or tomorrow. Please add me if you'd like. I'll be starting as soon as I rip the box open:)

I ordered mine last Thursday so I'm hoping to have it tomorrow or Tues. Please add me and I'll be chatting you up once mine gets here. I've got 60 days before a vacation with hubby and some friends and need this to kick my butt!

OK, since you all are saying "diet break/exercise break" I'm going to try that. My issue now is how do I get my anal-retentive mind (obsessed is probably a comparable word!) around not tracking for a week?! It's almost too freeing, if that's possible! I'm so used to watching and counting up everything, remembering it so I…

I'm going to take your advice and just use this week as a "recharge my battery" week. I will probably hit the gym some, but I like the thought of only doing it in the morning if possible. I don't want to stress myself throughout the day if it doesn't get done. The tropical drinks aren't too big an issue, I'm more a beer…

I hadn't even thought about muscle/water retention before writing this all out! I definitely will go up in calories over the vacation and when I get home. Thanks for your help!

I haven't taken a break from working out except for a couple days here or there. Since I usually do a program that's 60-90 days, I follow it and have Sundays off every week and maybe 1-2 other days if life gets in the way. But as far as a whole week off, not in a long time! I probably will walk more, at least in the…

Great Job!!! I'm in the push phase right now and loving it! Keep up the hard work :)

I cook with it in place of butter or oil, put a half T in my protein shake each day(can melt it first but I don't) and use it with applesauce to replace oil in recipes. My husband HATES coconut and has no idea he's eating it now! I get mine from Vitacost.com, not too expensive, I don't think, and no real coconut smell-just…

OK, so call me dumb, but why do this? What does it do for you, how do you not gain too much and what do you do when you're done and ....what, ready to cut again? Sorry, guess I'm a newbie on this one!!

I would say wait until you actually start the classes. Right now (or when you go on vacation) you'll be eating at TDEE, right? That's still factoring you aren't doing those additional classes. Once you get back, I'd change the numbers and go from there. Just my .02! Not sure if it's correct, but since no one has answered…

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I had the same thing happen when I started. I'm in the push phase now and so hungry it's ridiculous! You will lose those 2 lbs and more once your body gets accustomed to the muscle. Please don't go down in calories either. Chalene tells us that you have to feed your muscle and starving…

Way to go! That's awesome:)

Feel free to add me too. I've been doing this for 7 weeks now and feel like I've kind of gotten the hang of this! Love to have friends who enjoy food as much as me:)

I don't really have any answers for you, but I'm really interested to see how this works out for you. I'll be praying for you-that you can figure it all out and that your weight starts to drop.

I posted this back on June 3, one month after starting EM2WL. I just wanted to share my results for those of you wondering if this can work for real. My disclaimer before starting: I'm not claiming to have done everything "by the book" but I did my best and tried to follow the plan as well as I could This is how it turned…

Duh, never thought to melt it first! I just throw it in and mix. It's never been funny tasting or anything so I don't think it really matters. But I'll probably start doing that!

I add a half tablespoon of coconut oil to my protein shake, just to get some healthy fat in. I also use it in place of butter on my steamed veggies or when sautéing. I used to spray my pan with Pam before cooking up ground beef or eggs, now I use coconut oil. The best part is my hubby has no idea! I used it on roasted…
