Hi! I've done Insanity and it was great! I am starting a motivation group on Facebook called Journey to Fitness for those who want to lose 50 pounds or more. It is for anyone just looking for support and motivation (and a sounding board) for others on similar journeys. I'm going to start the Piyo program on Aug 4th and am…

I am...and getting pretty discouraged. Could use some positive people :) Anyone feel free to add me! :)

Pearland, TX :)

BEAUTIFUL!!! Congrats!!! What is that routine you modified?

This thread is super long, so I'm sure someone else has responded. But this is almost 1000 calories MORE per day, even in the Extreme category than MFP gives me. I "get it" though and have read so much on fitness and nutrition my eyes go crossed, you'd think I'd be super healthy! HA! Anyway, I haven't lost a lb on here in…

CONGRATS to YOU and Happy Birthday!!! :)

You sound like me!!! And the thought of getting up at 4:30am, quite honestly, turns my stomach!!! I work 7am - 4pm, have a 9 and 8 year old and a 19 mth old. The toddler is in daycare, so he stays there til about 5:30pm, we have found he does much better that way. He doesn't like to leave when his "friends" are all there -…

I'm 1/2 italian :) wish i could speak some of it!!

GREAT job!!!! You can REALLY see a big difference!! :)

Hi! Welcome! I am a mom to 3 (2 girls 9 and 8 - both in competitive gymnastics) and a 16 mth old son! I work full time and go to school full time and have been on here since July. I wish I had more success, but just fall into that "mom" thing and put everyone else first. My husband is a body builder, so its always kinda…

CONGRATS!!! You were beautiful before and you're beautiful after!!! I've tried on this, I'm just not good about scheduling time - so in 3 weeks, I'm on my 8th day of section 1 today. She has a new 90 day video out - like P90X, but only 30 min long (I don't know if time is an issue for you too), I bought it and it comes…

Sam - sammie bust - buster em - emma the names of my hound dogs! Sam(sammie) and Bust (buster) have passed away, but we still have Em (Emma) :) Now a Shorty too...but I've had that name for so long, I can't change it!

I started Monday, and missed yesterday. Started with 10lb weights...WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!!!! Did 5's on Tues and made a HUGE difference!!! Back to it today after work. Pretty tough, but can't figure out HOW its going to work. But we shall see. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I'm 37...and always looking for new motivational friends!! :)

Inside sales, sitting almost all day. Full time job, 3 kids and full time student. But...its life :)

I have it as well. I've been suffering for a year and a half - mine started when I was 6 months pregnant. I thought it was because I was so swollen and gained so much so fast, but it turned out to be a real problem! I have a really high arch also, which, from what I learned from a podiatrist, all results in plantar…

I've always been a heavy weight lifter - probably because I've ONLY trained with men. I can tell you this, if you lift heavy, more than likely you will get bulky, large muscles. Advantage - they burn a lot of cals just at rest, they are very good "muscle remembers" if you stop training for a period of time; Disadvantage -…

I would def have something high protein - esp if you are doing weight training!!! When I used to train with my trainer he always made a big deal about that - and my husband does too, who is a seriousl weight lifter.

I took it 6 years ago for a year - NOT under Dr's care. My trainer knew someone who had a website to get it from. I LOVED it!! I had NO side effects besides finding something that helped me with appetite control and lose weight! I lost 130 lbs. I also was hooked on it - and the website was shut down, so I resorted to black…

FUNNY!!! and yet true!!! I yell. I find myself yelling because - 1) I am a high strung person and 2) until I yell, my children don't seem to "hear" me. I don't feel I'm doing any damage to them, they are very well behaved, not angry - just awesome little girls (9 and 8 yrs old).

Right there with ya!! I lost 130 several years ago (about 5) and a lot of it is back :( Most came back last year during a difficult pregnancy. Now I feel completely overwhelmed :( I lost mine through a personal trainer, who no longer trains, and really don't have the money or the time to find a new one!! Good luck to you…

I am too a mother of 3 (9, 8 and 15 mths) but I do not homeschool - I work full time and go to school full time. It is EXTREMELY hard to find time to exercise, although I love it. I have found that the kids LOVE to do it with me - plus its a great benefit to them as well! The baby loves going out in his stroller for walks…

I have it and have done the Chest and Back one - only 31 minutes - but I felt it for 3 days!! And I'm a pretty serious weight lifter, so it definitely hit things I'm not! Haven't done anymore of it though :( Hope you do well! :)

2! But I have 3!! And now, I couldn't imagine life without my little "Benjo"! And since, having him almost killed me (literally), he is the end - 2 girls and 1 boy.

If you're a member of Facebook, there is a Skinny Crockpot site and there are some pretty good ideas on there. The big problem is, I haven't found any with nutritional information.

Your day sounds like mine!!! I joined a 24 hour gym under the idea that I would actually get up at 3:15am to work out! That lasted A DAY!!! I have 3 kiddo's (8, 7 and 10 mths). The 8 and 7 year old have 2 hour gymnastic practices 3 days a week - right as I get out of work (4-6pm), then homework, baths, bed. I go to bed by…

usually I listen to the heavy stuff - slip knot, five finger death punch, skindred - crazy psycho music :) but then, I also LOVE working out to Three Days Grace, Blue October, Red, Breaking Benjamin

I have 4. 1 is a band of butterflies around my right ankle; 2 chinese symbols meaning "strength" and "dedication" on my mid-upper back (they are on either side of my scar from back surgery) and 1 tribal 3D sun that has my daugthers names inside it which is in the middle of my back. I'm getting 1 more, someday, of a turtle…

DOGS!!!! We have 2 of each and I way prefer the dogs! :)

I just bought some a few weeks ago and have been putting them in the vegetable soup I make (I'm the only crazy person who eats soup when its over 100 outside!). They don't really have a taste and yes, they do smell funky...BUT if you've ever been to a REAL Vietnamese resturaunt, that is EXACTLY the smell!! They do fill you…
