Anyone else just starting Insanity?
Tonight my husband and I will do day 3 of Insanity. I am SO beyond sore. It hurts to go from standing, to sitting on the toilet lol Not to mention running after my 2 toddlers. OY. I'm frustrated I won't be able to give it my all tonight with these horribly sore muscles, but I don't want to take a day off and mess up the…

5'4 new mom's journey from obese to healthy
**I haven't posted in forever... if the pictures are huge or look weird... I promise I'm currently re-sizing on photo bucket lol* I've posted before and afters before but today I found older photos I don't remember ever taking. It was just weeks after having my daughter so at my absolute heaviest (not pregnant). They…

Super confused by the Zumba at my gym?!
I tried out a Zumba class at my mom's gym and loved it. I felt like I was following a fun, but challenging choreographed dance that was different to each song. Most of the songs I knew and got me pumped up. I found Zumba at my local gym (military gym) and it's totally different. The Monday instructor played only a couple…

Updated Pictures! Mom of 2 almost 80lbs down!
I've posted a couple times before! I take pictures every 10lbs and hit 140 even this morning! Originally 160 was my goal, and then 150, and then 140... and now that I'm here... I think 130 is achievable!! I can do this! Wish I had taken a picture at my original weight but the first ones are at 200lbs, second photos at…

Do you "count" fruit?
I'm sure this subject has been talked to death but I haven't read up much on this board. Tomorrow I'm planning on making a a fruit and yogurt smoothie for breakfast. I'm going to use 1/2 a pineapple (which sounds likes a lot but now that it's cut up and in a ziploc bag it's not as much as I thought), 1 orange, 1 light…

50 Pounds Lost Before and After
I've posted here before but wanted to update! I've actually lost about 64lbs but didn't think to take a before picture until I hit 200lbs. I am 5'3 and 200lbs in the first picture, 150lbs as of this morning in the second picture. I had my daughter in March, 2011, then about a year later I had my son April 24th and started…

Anyone try level 2 yet?
I'm on day 11, first day at level 2 but was wondering if anyone had tried it yet? I'm not really a big fan! I feel like I'm in the plank/push up position for half of the workout... and the last minute of abs I must not have been doing the exercise right because have 20 seconds I finally just got down and did the bicycle…

Short "chubby" runners... what was your starting mile time?
I'm 5'3 and 157 pounds... I'm trying to lose another 17. I have never been able to run a straight mile in my entire life. In high school I would run/walk a mile in 16 minutes. Pathetic, I know. After adding the elliptical to my weight loss journey, I wanted to try running a mile on the treadmill to see if the elliptical…

At what point should I up my calories?
I'm still 17 pounds away from goal... (I started at 204 and am now 157). I've been eating 1600 calories a day. I am breastfeeding which burns between 300 and 600 calories a day, otherwise I'd be eating 1200. I am breast feeding full time but I have no idea which end of the spectrum I'm on with that. Anyway.... I'm…

Hit original goal today!!!!
Weighed in at 159.2 this morning!!! My original goal has been 160 pounds but now that I'm here... I know I want to go for 140. I originally decided 160 because that's what I weighed when I got married and I was pretty comfortable then, but now, 2 kids later, I carry my weight much differently so think I'd be much happier…

I rarely post NSV's, but here's mine for today!
Today was weigh in day. I weighed in at 168.2 (started at 214). I was happy, but had hoped for more. It's a 2lb loss from last week (and 13 weeks into my diet, I should be extatic I'm still able to 2 pounds a week) but 2 days after my last weigh in I was 168.8 so just figured I would be at 167 by now. Anyway, NOT a big…

Update on me! Was my face really that chubby?? Pics :)
***I resized the photos... hopefully they will update soon. Just a quick update... I was going to wait to post anything again till I hit 160lbs (my next goal) but that's still 14 or so pounds away and I'm possibly the most impatient person I know! LOL I was going through some old photos on my phone today and I couldn't…

Need motivation to keep working out after today's weight in
:frown: I started exercising 8 days ago. Nothing crazy, but 30 minutes on the elliptical everyday for 8 days straight... I thought that was a pretty good start considering I went from a couch potato to working out everyday for a week. I've lost 30 pounds with no exercise, but wanted to see what a week would look like if I…

Recently had 2 babies!

After having him my weight leveled out around 205…
