  • Hi! WELCOME! I'm sure you'll find this site to be great! I've been on for a month and have found incredible support! Good luck to you! :)
  • I didn't like it. It did nothing for me. I LOVE RoxyLean though. I've taken everything out there at least once and Roxy is the best! Of course, I don't mind being jittery and a little on the hyper side :) I've found they are also really good with hunger control. Actually, ever since ephedra went away nothing has given me…
  • GREAT job!!!! :)
  • Yeah for you!!! :) You look great!!
  • Hi! I'd LOVE to join!! My name is Laura, I'm 37 and live in HOT Texas :) I have 3 kiddo's (8, 7 and 9 months), full time job, part time student, wife, etc etc. Basically try to fit 30 hrs worth of "stuff" into a 24 hour period! I joined MFP July 11th and have lost 10 lbs since then :) I have 90 to go and am trying to stay…
  • Everything and anything, except Atkins! Don't like a lot of meat stuff, so that detered me from that one! My biggest downfall has been fat burner pills more than diets. If it says anything that even somewhat catches my attention I am ALL OVER IT!!! I just quit, finally, taking them when I started MFP!!! That's HUGE for me!…
  • Welcome!!! MFP is a great place with super supportive people and highly addicting :)
  • I'm not certified or anything, but have taken classes through ISSA and PFIT on training and a nutrition course through ACE (I just never took the tests). However, if I had it figured out, I obviously wouldn't be looking to lose so much myself! So, with that said, I had the same kind of problems about 10 years ago. I…
  • OK!! I'm so glad I'm not alone in this one!!! :)
  • Health food / vitamin stores carry "Dessert Protein" by BSN and it is REALLY good! A little pricey, but well worth it! I have a VERY hard time choking down protein powder (well, if in a shake, its easy - mixed with just water or milk, not so easy!) and this one doesn't bother me nearly as much.
  • CONGRATS!!!! You look GREAT!! :)
  • PEARLAND!!!! (just s. of Houston) As far as the mexican food goes - gotta have it AT LEAST once a week!! I love Tex-Mex though :) I work with several hispanics and I've had the "real" mexican food - good and there are LOTS of them in SE Houston - Edgebrook, Airport, Hwy 3, Monroe, Telephone Rd area!!
  • You can do it!! Really, watching Insanity and doing Insanity are 2 different things! Watching is intimidating, but doing - is, well, do-able! Esp since you said you were already an avid exerciser. You just have to start it and go!! And try not to compare yourself to the people working out with Shaun T! We have a hard time…
  • We are finishing the Core Cardio Balance this week and I thought it was going to be a waste of time, but it's really good! I've really enjoyed it and there are some kick booty move combo's! I just love how Shaun T will say "jump higher", "go faster", then in the next breath he says "don't push too hard, this is your…
  • I have 2 that represent 2 things to me. They are chinese symbols that say "Strength" and "Determination" (or at least I *hope* that's what they saying, seeing as I can't read the language :) ). I got them after I lost 130lbs and got rid, finally, of back problems. They are on my upper back on either side of the scar I have…

  • I want to join too!! I'm saying I have 100 to lose - but I'll still be over "acceptable limits" according to charts, but I know what I look like and that's what I want! I lost 130lbs about 4-5 yrs ago and gained about 100 over the past year due to high risk pregnancy and sitting around eating because I couldn't do anything…
  • You CAN DO IT!! This site is GREAT! I've been on here for 10 days and have found so much support and others "like me". Welcome!!!
  • Congrats!!! You look great!! :)
  • I agree! She's the only one who doesn't seem so flaky and flighty! I'd KILL to look as "fat" as her - haha! Fat...right! Warped scales of beauty, I guess.
  • Nothing for Insanity, but Insanity Plus or something like that requires some equip. P90X requires weights, but not sure what kind. If you go to the Beachbody site, it will tell you everything you need - you may already have some if you've ever worked out at home.
  • Awesome job!!! Both of you look GREAT!! :)
  • Those are the BEST kinds of shopping trips!! :) Congrats!

  • 2006 gas guzzlin, but fun lovin White, H-3 Hummer :)
  • I think they are worth it! I was seriously OVER estimating the number of calories burned and since I've had it - (and been on here) - I've FINALLY started losing weight!!!
    in HRM??? Comment by sambustem July 2011
  • It waaayyyy overestimated mine!! On here, it said I burned over 800 cals doing my Insanity (which I put as High Intensity Aerobics - which it is) and my HRM said 213. After getting over the EXTREME disappointment, I do believe that the HRM is prob correct!
  • I checked ahead on here when we went out Fri night and Sat lunch. I was really glad I did that because I could have REALLY messed up! The only problem I have is we have a lot of little "mom and pop" type places that we love, so its HARD to figure that stuff out - so we are just not going as much. And my kids LOVE CICI's…
  • Hi! Welcome :) I just started this site last week and LOVE it!!! I've joined many others in the past, but this one is really good!

  • I had it after my 2nd daughter. I was put on meds. I knew my whole life HAD to change and mentally I was completely overwhelmed - having a new baby and an almost 16mth old already. I was miserable. It's a long story....but you can message me :) What really helped me and got me off of meds was working out - I hired a…
  • GOTTA do this one!!! OK, and this was last week did this (and pretty much every Sat until THIS week!!) 5 slices Domino's sausage and feta pizza 3 Green Apple Smirnoff's 3 macadamia nut cookies with vanilla bean ice cream on top OK...and we see why I have to lose 100 lbs and have started MFP?!?!?!?!!?
  • We (my husband and I) did 2 weeks, stopped for a week (took a vacation) and then started again and are finishing week 4. I can't say I've lost any weight (however, I wasn't calorie counting on here either!) and inches, we will measure this weekend. It is incredibly addicting and as someone else said - you will curse Shaun…
