I started yesterday and I was expecting to be a little sore but wasn't. I've been exercising for a while so maybe I need to increase the weights I use. I will keep at it though cause I love the motivation. We will see at the end :)

Way to go!! :) Keep it up!

I most def. did the pictures! I purchased a creative memories mini album and added my own personal touch to them! HE LOVED IT!! He now takes that album with him every time he is away! I know your hubby will ADORE you for it!! I actually do so much better when he is away than when he is home for some reason. I think it's…

Hi There!! Glad to know we both are in Okinawa!! My hubby is also a Marine. I've used Myfitnesspal about 2 years ago and was able to lose 30 lbs. I did it for one of the reasons you listed (the boudoir photo shoot). Soon after he came back from Iraq, I got pregnant and gained all of it back. I decided moving here was going…

I have used the Insanity workout and it indeed is INSANE!!! You get a complete total body workout and you sweat like crazy! Between P90X and Insanity, I prefer Shawn T because how high energy and motivating he is. I love the challenges and results. I'm bad about not sticking to it though (any exercise program for that…

**WOOT!! WOOT!!** (doing the victory dance for you!!)

I want to say.....WELCOME!!!! Glad you decided to take the first step. Although I'm not new to the site, I'm a returning user. I can say from past experience that this site is AWESOME!! All that moral support is what helped me lose those 31lbs and I'm a little competitive so when I saw my friends losing the weight I didn't…

Hi Laura!!! A great support group has always been key to my success. I've re-joined myfitnesspal after being away for almost 2 years. I got pregnant and fell off the wagon. So this year, I'm dusting myself off and trying again. I lost 30lbs of my 50 lbs goal in 7 months, so I know WE CAN DO IT!! My tip for the day would…

You can do it!!! Anything is possible once you are determined. I also have 50 lbs I would love to loose and keep it off for good. In the past, I've been able to loose 30lbs and just as the compliments start to pour and my self-esteem goes up and tend to fall off the wagon! I'm determined end that cycle once and for all!!…

I'm glad you joined!! I'm not new at this....needless to say I fell off the wagon a couple of years ago when I got pregnant. Reality has once again set in and it's time to make a change. You will love insanity.....and IT WILL KICK YOUR BUTT but the results are awesome!! Sounds like you are off to a great start! Good luck…

I'm jumping on this band wagon!! :happy: My plans are not to worry about counting calories but I do plan to run 5 miles that morning, that just helps not feel as bad :ohwell:

First off, CONGRATS on taking the first step!- I was there not too long ago. Back in June I started running myself and hated it with a passion!-My husband who is a Marine was the one that kept pushing me. I couldn't even run a minute the first time before my feet would start hurting.....then my ankles all the way up half…

Had to come back to tell you "THANK YOU"- I tried this last night and my body is really feeling it today!!

I have several of his DVD's. I do the one with the Amp on days that I don't feel like going to the gym and on the weekends. Two of my favorites are the Fatburn Accelerator and Full Throttle :) It's a rainy day and I think I"m staying home tonight and doing the Full Throttle

WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!:bigsmile:

This is what works for me and it's like "banking calories" but have to be used the same week. When I workout really hard and burn more than 500 (running for example) I tend to not get really hungry. I eat my daily required calories BUT the workout calories I "save" them for the weekend when I have my "cravings". I have a…

Thanks everyone!!- I finally got them to post correctly!! :wink:

So I decided to post some more of my pics from the beginning of my weight loss journey. Sometimes, we look at ourselves and think "man I'm never gonna get this weight off" or "I still look the same what's the use!!" After looking at these pictures and putting them side by side. I'm like holy $%^&*!!! Did I really look like…

I completely understand where you're coming from. Trust me we ALL have been there at one point or another....geez......I still do!- Just know that the healthy eating habits will just take time. You can't change everything overnight!!- Make small changes/mini goals. Start your week with saying this week. I'm not having a…
