  • I'm almost done with week 4 of INSANITY and love it.....HOWEVER, I can't say it burns a lot of calories (much to my disbelief!!), but I think I've lost some inches - will do measurements this weekend. It's strictly cardio though, lots of push ups, but you don't gain any real upper body definition, and the lower body is…

  • Interesting...I never thought of this. I had Mirena for 5 years, had it replaced for 1 yr, took it out, got pg with my son. During the first 5 yrs, I actually lost around 130lbs while it was in - so I don't think it had any effect. I had it put back in in Dec. 2010 and I've had NO luck losing much of anything. I have the…

  • I bought it online at heartratemonitorusa.com They had all the different ones and compared them. I can't remember the number of the one I got, but its supposed to be good.

I LOVE weight training though and have done it for years (even at one time trained to power lift - but blew out a disc in my back). After…

  • Hi! I just joined this site today. I'm not doing P90X, but am doing Insanity. We are finishing our 5th week. I LOVE the program, but haven't lost anything. Not one pound and I am sooo frustrated!!! I've been curious about P90X as our next "Challenge", but want to hear about REAL people's results! I can't use their crazy…
