Anybody want to join in a challenge to get healthy and lose fat?
I've been working at this a while and I have done so much research and tried so many different programs, Insanity, IIFYM, Intermittent Fasting, you name it! Now I'm on the 21 day fix. I've also started listening to pod casts and doing a lot of independent web research on how we age, hormones, etc. What is so frustrating is…

Got my numbers and Ready, Set, Go!
Got my numbers for IIFYM and am ready to really put the effort into doing this and getting this extra weight off. I, again, do not know why this has been so hard for me this time around. I at first was very nervous about the amount of calories, and did what most people do and think - how can I lose on 1680 when I couldn't…

Healthy High Protein Dinner Ideas
I am trying to eat healthy- upping my protein intake. My husband on the other hand is a meat and potatoes, or pasta guy. It has been difficult for me to eat healthy and fix him dinners he likes (yes, mainly because I have little will power when I cook it). I have decided I will have my own dinner if he chooses a dinner too…

End of Season 1 Question - Radio Mode?
I have a question for my runners who are on season 2. I have on episode left on Season 1 (which by the way I was so glad I was running on a trail by myself as I was listening to the last episode!). Its my understanding that radio mode also ends at some point in Season 1? Should I finish radio mode in season 1 before I…

Just started playing
I just downloaded the app and loved it! When you do it with a treadmill does it track you for outrunning the zombies? I'm still trying to figure out if I have it all set right. I do have it on gps so it should track me, but does it tell you how far you went?

Calories burned doing Insanity
I am going to start the Insanity program on Monday. I don't have an HRM, but was curious if anyone had an estimate of what you would burn doing the program. I know it won't be an exact for me - but I thought maybe some people have HRM's that might give me an idea. I am Female - 5'2 and currently weigh 160.

So how is everyone doing so far on zig zagging? I'm anxious to see how I do on my weight in day (Wednesday), but I am mostly concerned with how I feel and inches.

Two Week Mini-Challenge
I am starting a two-week mini-challenge for myself. Because of my hectic schedule I have had a hard time doing the workouts within the two 30 day periods. I am not even ready to start the Max dvd's yet either. I do much better with mini-goals. So my two-week challenge is to do Insanity every day (Monday through Friday) for…

Non-Chicken Recipies
I am in dire need of some recipies - regular and easy crock pot ones that do not include chicken. Beef and pork are ok. My husband cannot eat chicken more than once a week. Or a recommendation for a good cookbook or website to get some good recipies from. I would like lower carb and healthy recipies. I've gotten to the…

Insanity Workout
So after months of me trying to stick to my plan and me being the only one to work out and go to the gym - my husband has agreed to do Insanity with me. He said that he would even do the nutrition plan with me. I know I'm a big girl and I'm not blaming my lack of weight loss on him but it would be so nice to have him work…

Off the Pill and no period?
I thought it was time to get some advice from other women going through the same thing. I had been on the pill off and on for most of my life - this last time I've been on it for going on 3 years. I have slowly gained the weight and it wasn't coming off. In my past - the weight never came off when I was on the pill. So I…
