1. Do you experience a lot of stress-producing thoughts when attempting to sleep, such as things to do or worrisome thoughts, that prevents you from falling asleep quicker? __Yes _x_No 2. On an average night, how easy is it to fall asleep? _x_Pretty easy __ Not easy 3. About how many hours of sleep do you get each night?…

If you get bored on the bike break up the times into smaller slots during the day instead of doing one long workout on the same thing. You can go for a walk, you can do jumping jacks, lift weights, jump rope, pick up some of the biggest loser dvd's and workout....there is alot you can do at home. Any workout can get boring…

HAHA love the OCD comment! I have the same exact problem with my stupid one. I have ceramic tile in my bathroom so I sit the scale inside the tile square so it is flat and weigh in. I have to be facing the bathroom door and not the shower or they read differently. It drove me crazy having the different weights so now I…

Isn't it amazing how much we don't realize how far we have gone until things like this happen? I so understand your frustration and embarrassement but as others have said keep that as a reminder to motivate you to get healthy. You have come to the right place to get accountability that is for sure. If you would like to add…

ME!! It is a tradition that was started when I was very young and we have always done it. Go out shopping and to breakfast or lunch. I love Black Friday! Even if there is nothing in particular we are looking for we go just to see if we find anything we might want for someone.

Depends on what you can spend but I know Polar is a great one. I could not afford that right now so I purchased the one from Walmart that has the chest strap and it works great! Cost $50.
-
LOL demon spawn...good one.
-
HAHA thanks for the detail! I love the first part of hitting the snooze and petting the dog because I can so relate to that! It is amazing how much a 7 minute snooze means in the morning!

Burpees will definately get your heart rate pumping and burn calories but doing those for 30 minutes straight would probably kill you...haha. Our gym has the precor adaptive motion trainer and it is the highest calorie burn other than running fast on the treadmill. It combines the motion of the Elliptical, running and…
-
If you are just starting to really work out hard your heart rate will be alot higher because your body is not used to it. I am 33 and when I first started P90X or even my gym cardio for that matter mine would go to the 190s. Now that I have been doing P90X for eight weeks and going to the gym in the mornings my max usually…

First and foremost never be embarrassed for missing a day....we all have those days. Second motivation must come from within you. We can give you all the advice in the world but until you find that inner strength that says I will not let this defeat me any longer you will have a hard time keeping up with it. I know from…

I will try changing the battery as suggested and making sure the strap is nice and snug. It only happens when I sweat alot so I am thinking it is the movement. Glad to know I am not the only one experiencing this because I was about to go crazy today at the gym! :laugh:
-
WOW! You should be so proud of yourself! Thanks for sharing your story you are inspiring many.

If it is a temptation for me it is not in my house...because I will eat it. I am blessed that my husband is on board with my healthy eating and he also is not snacking either. If we buy snacks I buy 100 calorie packs or portion controlled items. If he wants the cookies I either buy some I know I will not eat or put them…
-
Definately moderation. I am going to make sure I still workout on those mornings and watch what I eat. If I have a cookie I am not going to freak out about it but I will not continue eating poorly. One day can end up being an excuse to overeat all week and I definately do not want to do that. I am a little nervous this…

I lost alot of weight a few years ago and although I was still in a size 14 I can honestly say I was very happy with myself. I believe everyone in the world has something they do not like about themselves physically....so you are not alone. I really contribute my happiness to not allowing myself to compare myself to others…
-
Well my friend you came to the right place to "talk you off the ledge" so to speak. Please don't quit you will only beat yourself up for doing it. As far as eating if you are hungry eat something but in moderation regardless of what it is. This is not a diet this is a change of habits and lifestyle and guess what life…

1. They may feel threatened by your discipline...may make them feel guilty and they don't like that feeling. 2. They may be very insecure themselves and don't like your new found confidence. 3. Maybe you are constantly talking about eating & fitness to where they feel that is all you are consumed with.....it happens to…

Could be back but also do you have high blood pressure? Sometimes when you have high blood pressure and you are doing intense workouts that requires strain can make you have intense throbbing in your head. Also make sure you are not holding your breathe while you are doing them because that can cause throbbing pains. I…
-
Haha that would be awesome!
-
You never know what your body can do until you actually try it. I was worried that I could not handle P90X at my weight and boy was I wrong.
-
Honestly is looking back at pictures and knowing I never want to feel that sad ever again while hiding behind a smile. Each step I take farther from my starting weight keeps me from ever wanting to have to do that journey all over again. Hang in there and know you are worth it!
-
I cannot wait for no inner thigh fat and for my stomach to be tonned and flat. I hate looking like a roly poly in those areas. lol
-
My first thought was are you positive it is a cyst on your breast? I guess that stood out to me the most that you might want to get that checked just to be sure. On another note I have this happen about a week before I actually start and maybe a couple days after I am done. I honestly think it is just my body adjusting to…
-
HAHA that was great! Thanks for the good laugh. :laugh:

HRM are set up specifically for each individual person based on you height and weight so they all may differ. It also depends on the intensity you are putting into your workout. I know before I bought mine while I was doing P90X I was estimating 450-500 per workout but then found out that on some exercises i was way over…
-
Oh I can so related to the married and gained! I try to workout for 1.5hrs a day Monday-Friday and then do some type of informal exercise on Saturday anything from working in my yard to talking a bike ride. I just started today to break up my workouts. I am getting up and going to the gym at 6am to 7am and then doing P90X…
-
No offense but who cares if that is an old picture of you. If you are using that as the one thing that prevents you from realizing your in an abusive relationship it really is time to think about things. You will never be successful at weight loss or even relationships for that matter if you do not start loving the person…
-
Why would you say that to yourself and why would your mom say something like that to you? You deserve him because he obviously loves you for your inside and not just your looks. This post really bothers me because you are letting others dictate how you live your life. Noone needs to swap down as you put it....you should…
