Looking for help with the numbers (aka hating the scale)
I am looking for friends who also struggle or have struggled and gotten over their hatred of the scale. I lost the weight I needed to lose and am currently mostly in maintenance. I try to stay between 130-140, but I like to be around 135. I'm struggling with letting the scale dictate my mood. NOT everyday, but sometimes.…

Do you use a fitness tracker?
Like fitbit, jawbone, polar hrm, garmin, etc? What do you like about it? What all does it do? I've researched these damn things to death and cannot decide if I need one. I work a sedentary job, but I do fitness vidoes like Insanity, T25, PiYo, and Insanity Max:30. I also weight train 2 days a week. My wants are something…

FitBit vs. Heart Rate Monitors
I went through this same debate last year and ended up not getting anything but new running shoes.... I'm trying to decide if I want to buy a fitbit flex, heart rate monitor, or nothing at all. I want something that monitors my daily activity, but also helps me know how many calories I've burning during my work outs. I do…

60lbs lost & maintaining
Sorry if anything is crooked, etc. It took me forever to figure this out. So here's my story. It took me about a year, but I've lost 60lbs give or take. Hey, weight fluctuates! I went from almost 200lbs to 135. My lowest was 129. But once I stopped being a cardio queen and started lifting weights I put on some muscle. I've…

Anyone who has done a beachbody program should know what I'm talking about. I need help with the v-sit/c-sit whatever you want to call it sit move. It's the move where you sit on what yogi's call your 'sits bone', basically lean back on your butt and do ab moves. Here's the problem. I have tailbone issues and I can't sit…

Not a thigh gap, but my favorite NSV
My favorite NSV since losing 60lbs & maintaining is that my thighs no longer rub together. No more ruining pants because they wear where my thighs tough. No more noises from them rubbing together when I walk. My clothes last so much longer. I love it. :)

Sweaty hands during workouts...
I'm not sure if anyone will actually have any help/advice for this problem. I am a SWEATY person when I work out. I get jealous of people who don't sweat at all. When I'm at the gym, but trainer helps with chalk or liquid chalk, but at home I'm screwed. I fell during a PiYo pike last night because my hands get so sweaty…

Indoor vs. Outdoor Running- Need advice
I am a treadmill runner. I just love it. I love watching a movie or TV while I run because it distracts me and I like to challenge myself with speed. I know some runners HATE treadmills and only run outside. This weekend I tried to run outside in preparation for my 3rd 10K because, duh, it's outside. It's not that I can't…

Lost my motivation
I've recently lost my motivation to continue to make good food choices & consistently work out. And I need help. I know no one can make me want it but myself, but I am hoping SOMEONE out there may be going through or have gone through this as well. Over the last year (& some change) I've lost 60lbs through lifestyle…

I lost my weight through running then Insanity/T25. I recently started lifting weights 2 days a week with personal trainer. Just wanted to see if anyone would like to add me as a friend or suggest sites that can help me understand what to expect more with results, soreness, etc. I know I will be able to ask my trainer…

Brazillain/Bikini Waxing- Is it worth it?
So I didn't know where to post this topic....for as long as I can remember I have always bought relatively cute swim suits, but always worn shorts over the bottoms. Now that I've lost 60lbs, I'm getting ready to buy a new bikini and for once I DON'T want to cover up. My friend and I are planning on getting brazillian…

Looking for friends who are maintaining.
I've lost 55-57lbs since May (depending on how many cookies I've eaten that day) and am currently in the maintaining stage of my weight loss. I've managed to stay between 131-135lbs for a couple of months now. I'm not a clean eater. I do Insanity and run. Just looking for friends that are also maintaining. :)

C'mon! Last 2lbs- Need help
I feel like a horrible person for even posting this, but I either need someone to tell me to stop being a baby, give me some motivation, or advice. I started my weight loss journey in May and to date I've lost 47.4lbs. My goal is to lose a total of 50lbs. So I LITERALLY have 2-3lbs to go based on flucuations. I'd really…

FIRST 10K WOW
A month ago a friend asked me to do a race with her. I'd only done one other 5K (finished in a little more thant 45 minutes), the month before, and was trying to decide between doing the 5K and the 10K and I decided to just go for it & do the 10K. I only had a month to train. Saturday morning was FREEZING. A few miles in a…

30 Day Shred- What to expect? Please help.
I'm LITERALLY 2-4 lbs away from meeting my weight loss goal. I finished a round of Insanity & have been struggling with what to do next. Turns out, I'm going back to running and have several 5K runs scheduled, then a 10 mile, and a half in the Spring. As I am going to be focused on training, I don't want to overdo it with…

P90X & RUNNING??
My weight loss has been done through running 5-6 days a week & healthy eating. I saw a short video with Tony Horton & really liked him so I think I am finally going to be ready to start P90X on August 1st. My question is this. I typically run 4 miles 5 days a week & 2 on my yoga day. With P90X is it a 7 days a week program…

How do you maintain?
Alright, so I have lost 44lbs since May. My goal is to lose a total of 50. I just want to be under 140 and I understand there will be flucuations. I've struggled with overeating and eating disorders (nothing official, just serious restriction). I don't want to count calories for the rest of my life, but I now LOVE working…

41lbs gone! 9 more to go.
My journey to a new me started the first week of May... I'm too excited to wait to post. Once I hit my actual weight loss goal I will add my comparison pics. I started out at a whopping 188.8lbs. If I would have waiting any longer I know I would have hit 200. I'd been really happy about my weight, my body, the way I looked…

HELP! What's next?? About done with Insanity.
I'm two weeks away from Insanity and about 8lbs away from goal weight. I'm not sure what to do next. I don't know if I should do another round of Insanity, P90X, Asylum, go back to running...I would really love to add weights because that seems what everyone says is good for you, but I'm not even sure where I'd start. I…

Hey all! I'm looking for friends who log & post every day. I'm about 6lbs away from my goal weight and 2 weeks away from finishing my first round of Insanity. I'd like people who have been at this for awhile to help with questions on how to tone & build muscle (I think), but anyone is welcome. Please just send me a request…

Insanity Month 2- Help
I'm on day 2 of Recovery Week. I was just curious how much more intense month 2 gets. My weight now is 153 & my goal weight is 140-145. Are the workouts longer? The same as month one but more reps? Any help is appreciated.

Anyone within 10-15lbs of their goal weight?
I am about 10-15lbs away from my goal weight. I keep waffling back in forth between wanting to be 145 or losing a total of 45lbs & going for the random 143. I'm currently doing Insanity (almost done with month 1) & I am going to add running back into my schedule 3 days a week. I around 1300 calories a day, sometimes more.…

Help me lose the last 10lbs?
I lost my weight rather quickly...I started on 5/7 weighing 188.8lbs & weighed in this morning at 154.8. I lost the weight by eating 1200 calories & running 6 days a week & a one hour yoga class once a week. I'm currently almost finished with month 1 of Insanity, have cut back on my running (1 to 2 days a week), & am still…

Daily Weighers ONLY- Please :)
Hey all. The closer I get to my goal the crazier I get with weighing in. I used to be able to do once a week, but now I am pretty much every day. I'm working towards every other day & then back to once a week, but because about about 10lbs away from my goal weight I'm pretty excited. There are pros & cons to weighing in…
