Thanks again :smile: :wink:

:smile: Thanks so much everyone And let me clarify my statement regarding woman of color: We know that our body shapes are different and weight loss tends to look different on us. I know for me, it's a different type of motivation seeing someone with "thickness" like mine making it to their goal weight. There are those of…

Thanks so much everyone! Sorry, the photos turned out bigger than I wanted, and I'm not sure how to resize (doing all this from my iPhone!) Overall, it was a combo of eating healthy, Insanity, and running. I usually do at least 2-3 miles a day. I built up over time from barley speed walking! I did do a few modifications…

Crud!! I can't figure out how to make the pics smaller!!

Thanks ????

Thanks so much everyone for your kind words!!

I surly will!

I decided I'm going to be a beachbody coach! I feel I have some much positivity to offer, and I live helping others. It's such a joy for me to encourage someone to lead a healthier lifestyle!

Lol thanks! I love shoes!!!

Thanks so much everyone! It still overwhelming, but this has been so worth it!

Lol @ brownie!!!! I can't with you right now!!!!

Thanks so much everyone!! Sorry, I'm trying to figure out how to make the bottom photo smaller so you can see the full thing.. any suggestions? As far as sticking with Insanity, I watched the infomercial at least 102 times prior to getting it. I was so excited, I started the same day I got it! I just kept telling myself it…

Not to beat a dead horse, but you just validated what I stated in the beginning. The MAJORITY of people are those who work out. Endurance training, like insanity, is designed to help you improve on physical activities as well as helping with weight loss. With that being said, if your building your endurance, I’m pretty…

I don’t think there is a vast majority of people using Insanity, including myself, who didn’t work out on the regular prior to starting the program. It’s designed for people who already have some type of endurance, and trains to build on it. In my opinion, your friends theory sounds a bit silly. Has she even completed the…

I haven't used mio, but I use Wal-mart brand peach mango.. LOVE IT!

THE FACTS!!! Someone is mad now!

Do you have a laptop? It's portable & you can pop the dvd to do the workout anywhere.

Yes, my body wakes me up at 5 every morning, regardless if it’s a work day or not, so I can exercise. I get mind done first thing because there is no telling how my day will go or how I will feel after work/school.

I’ve been running for about 5 months now. At first I HATED every bit of it, but did it because it was supposed to give you good results. Well, I got the results and started to like it as well. I just entered to do a 5k next month. I went from jogging 2x per week & just taking my time to build up endurance, now I’m out…

On my short breaks I’ll walk and/or do the stairs. On my lunch I get in a good 30 minute jog. I also do random calisthenics through the day, like squats & lunges.

Pro low-carber here :drinker: You have a valid point stating eating healthy and exercising will cause weight loss, and hopefully everyone else here understands that concept as well. However, there are ways to speed up that process, and for me that has been doing low carb eating. I deprive myself of nothing, I eat what I…

My pleasure :drinker:

I watch Family Guy every night. I love that show even though I'm half black & half gay.. the references don't bother me a bit! It's just a cartoon.

1. Sausage (in my mouth, yummy!) 2. Cell phone 3. Computer 4. A quart of water 5. napkin

I laugh when people say “calories in calorie out” or “It doesn’t matter what you eat, just eat less”. This is very conflicting information because it is in a way true, but not totally. OP, basically, you’re going to have to do your own research and find out what your body can and cannot tolerate. The forums are a good…

This..somewhat. based on your age, height and weight your TDEE is about 1880. Eating %20 less is actually under 1600, so you are eating enough. However, remember to focus on eating clean, less processe foods. High sodium and sugar will cause you to retain water weight. Carbs are good for you, but you may want to consider…

I’m at the end of my recovery week for Insanity, but in the first month I lost more inches than scale weight. 13.5 inches total, but only 5 pounds. The weight didn’t move from the scale until week four. I would suggest to make sure you’re eating enough, and at 1600 calories that sounds about right. I don’t eat exercise…

Not be a douche bag. I’m not calling you one, but if you are..

Yes, that should work for you. I’ve been doing low carb for almost 5 months now and have had a lot of success with it. The first month I was about 30-40 carbs per day. Now I’m more like 60-70. This way my body still gets what It needs & will not revolt! My protein is about 150-190g / day.

I'm in recovery this week. A bit nervous about starting max intervals, but I shall push thru! Now that you have been doing it for a couple of weeks, how does it feel? Stil the same as day one or a bit easier, I'm curious to know!
