Thanks for sharing!

Hi, I know everyone is different, but I'll just share my personal situation. I am 5'6" and I weight 140 pounds. I am a healthy weight and body fat percentage (25%). I would like to get down to 20% body fat. I work out a lot, too. Currently doing Insanity. To get to where I'm at now, I have done other Beachbody programs.…

I am doing Insanity right now, but I've also completed several other fitness programs over the last year. I agree with several other people in that you should probably pick a different program to start. I would say just start with walking, stretching, light jogging, etc, but I know that sometimes it is hard to stay…

YES, it is worth it. I was never excessively overweight, but for many years I struggled with finding my way to being within the healthy range all the time. About a year ago, I stopped trying to 'diet' and instead focused on daily exercise, conscious eating by using MFP, and utilizing a network of online support through MFP…

Way to go! I just finished my first half marathon a couple weeks ago. Such an amazing feeling crossing that finish line. Great time!!

I lost twenty using the Ten Minute Trainer. I've also done Slim in Six and am currently using P90X to build strength and keep the weight off. Like others said, all the programs work, but everyone has their own individual likes and dislikes when it comes to exercise. All of the programs also offer a tailored eating plan to…

Hi, Do you have a heart rate monitor? If so then you'll know the calories that you burn during each workout. You can create a new exercise under the My Exercises tab. Then just type it Slim in Six - Ramp It Up, etc, the time of the workout, and the calories burned. If you don't have a heart rate monitor, then you'll just…

Home is the place for me. I have a treadmill and use Team Beachbody videos to add variety and keep me challenged. The other great thing about their products is the built in support system if you purchase through one of their coaches.

I love mine. Had it since August. Be sure to follow the directions for cleaning it. I wasn't very good about it and it started acting up on me and I'm pretty sure it was because I had let too much sweat dry on it. Be sure to rinse the band right away after each workout and then at least once a week do a better wash. Since…

I didn't reach my goal of losing five pounds. I yo-yoed all month thanks to poor eating choices. Halloween candy did me in a couple days. There will be no large candy purchase in my house over Christmas and I already have some healthy plans for Christmas dinner. My husband is very supportive of that. :) I also didn't get…

Bump so that I can re-read to get mine working better!

For the last several months I have been doing Team Beachbody programs. Right now I am finishing week two of the Slim in Six program. That means I should be working out six days a week for about an hour. If I throw in the stretching and ab routine that adds another 30 minutes, so some days are 90 minutes. It is a big time…

We aren't having a big dinner this year. Traveling instead. But Thanks for the tip. Going to have to check out this magazine!

I lost another 1.6 this week. Five more to go...hopefully by Christmas. We are going on a cruise over New Year's. It would feel awesome to have reached my goal before 2012 and start the New Year making new goals for myself that are not related to weight loss!!

Hope you are feeling better!

I had a good week. Lost 1.6 pounds and got a lot of miles in doing the Slim in Six workouts plus a 5 mile run. I'm traveling from Sunday to Thursday, so this week will be a test. Jet lag has been a workout killer for me in the past. So my goal for the week is to maintain weight and make myself move. I'm only 5 pounds away…

I did Ramp It Up this week wearing a heart rate monitor. I am 5'6" and weigh just over 141 right now. Ithink I push myself fairly well when I exercise. I burned about 400 calories last night.

Right there with ya...only down 0.2 myself this week. :)

I didn't have Lyme Disease, but in 2010 I noticed that my hair was thinning. I've always had a ton of hair and watching it come out in massive quantities every morning was quite scary. I wasn't seriously trying to lose weight at the time and I wasn't grossly overweight at the time. However, it was my thyroid. I've been on…

I started the Slim in Six program on the 1st. My calculations put me at 17.87 miles in four days of doing that program. I did OK eating, but did indulge in a few two many fun size candy bars. I met all my water goals and was under my calorie goal every day. Only lost 0.2 pounds, but it is that time of the month for me as…

I lost 0.2 pounds this past week. Not the best, but in the right direction. :)

Welcome! This can be a really helpful place. Feel free to add me, too. Do you know how you are going to approach losing the weight?

I start day one of Slim in Six tonight. The first video wasn't hard enough! I will move on to the next level tomorrow. I love that! Also had a great first day diet wise. Hope you are all doing well, too. We can get these last few off!

I have indulged a bit the last few days. Going to take the bulk of it to work. I feel a tad guilty about tempting my co-workers, so I think I will put it all away until my hubby gets home and have him take it to his office. I don't see those people every day. But until that happens, I will allow my a treat here and there…

I just entered my info into the spreadsheet, but I'm having issues with the America on the Move link. I can't open the link. Does anyone know if this is a Mac issue. My computer doesn't know what to do with that file type. I've tried Word and Excel but no luck. What am I missing? Thanks! NEVER MIND! Just figured it out. :-)

Hope you had a great anniversary!

Hello everyone, I asked if I could join you. Thank you, karasene, for letting me jump in a little late. I've been doing well using MFP for the last several months, but I haven't really been part of any groups. I'm down to about the last seven pounds and want to make sure I get through the holidays. This is the toughest…
