Question about Insanity
Okay - someone be frank. How much jumping is involved in Insanity? My husband has a friend who has the program, thinking about borrowing - but the jumping part has me nervous...how much is there? Can it be modified?

Time to Get Back at this...
So, I was using MFP pretty regularly last year, lost approx. 45 lbs. Started exercising and things went to hell. I did the inches tracking, at first it was great. Then slowed...and then I got food poisoning. That sucked any motivation I had left right out of me. I was mentally defeated - what stamina and endurance I had…

Gifted or 2E?
Anyone have kids with either / both of these diagnoses? The nurse at my son's school (who has a BSN and a master's degree, so she is well-educated) sees him daily to give him meds, sometimes more ...and she has mentioned to me more than once that she wonders if part of his behavioral issues stem from boredom / lack of…

Gardening

I grew up in the country, so we always had a garden. We can tomatoes, make jam, the whole nine yards. I absolutely love fresh tomatoes!! Mmmm!!! Here's a link to…

NSV ~ Just when I needed it!
I have a few pairs of capri workout pants that I bought a LONG time ago - but had 2 babies since then, so they sat in the closet - tags still on them. I broke them out in January - and it wasn't pretty. They fit - but badly - and there was no way I'd wear them to the gym - so I kept wearing some yoga pants I've had forever…

A letter to my scale...
Dear Scale - While for the past couple of months we have been somewhat friendly, right now I really want to "Unfriend" you. Honestly. You mock me. You taunt me. You frustrate me. Instead of showing me lower numbers, you taunt me with higher ones...granted, not much higher...but higher nonetheless. However, just to spite…

Excited about my NSV!
I've always done better tracking inches v. just weight, but my kids seemed to have stolen my tape measure... I finally got one, had my husband help me with the measuring, and jotted those numbers (as ugly as they were) down. This past week I've had a great week on the scale, so I was curious to see where the numbers stood,…

Setting realistic goals
I've been *seriously* using MFP for about a month now. I have lost 13 lbs - BUT - it was the same 13 I gained over the holidays (boo!). Now, I'm really trying to figure out realistic goals / time lines to keep myself motivated & on track. SW was 252; CW is 239. I haven't been under 200 in a decade, at least. I would like…
