6 months out, need support buddies
Hello!! I'm 6 months out from sleeve surgery and returning to MFP because I prefer the interaction on this site vs the baritastic app. I would love to add some active MFP users that have had surgery and have open food logs. I like to comment be interactive on here since it helps keep me accountable and engaged. Feel free…

Late April/Early May 2018 babies?
I would love to chat/add some ladies due around this time. I am currently ~11 weeks, and fairly overweight. After my first I lost 75lbs, went to grad school and gained it almost all back, started losing again and now have baby #2 coming :D I need to keep my weight under control during this and then get back to some serious…

Not new but...
I was a very active user here a few years back, dropped 75lbs, ran in the Dirty Dash, felt bouncy healthy and more youthful than I'd ever felt. Life happens. Went to grad school, did the stay at home mom thing, travelled and ate out a LOT. Every single pound that I had dropped has piled back on in the last 3 years. I look…

Last Week!
Closing in on the finish line here!! Tomorrow I begin week 4 of month 2! Torn on where to go from here, lol. I ordered Turbo Jam in a middle of the night/haven't thought this through moment, and while it sounds great, it sounds like it might be too easy after finishing Insanity :-/ What does everyone plan to do next?

Core Cardio Balance
Wow, today was the end of the second week of Month 2, so it was the Core Cardio and Balance video - which of course hadn't been touched since recovery week. I could really feel a difference in how well I did on that video :D Previously, it was fun, and I'd get through, but the high jumps always needed a break, and this…

Woohoo!
Month 2 is starting tomorrow! Had my rest day at the end of recovery week today, and am ready to go! I can't wait to try out some new workouts :)

Finishing Month 1!!!
Yes!!! Tomorrow is my last workout in month one, then a rest day and on to recovery week. I am having mixed feelings, as I haven't seen weight loss reflected on the scale, but I feel a lot stronger and have more energy - so I should be thankful for that! I'm also noticing that I'm eating a lot healthier without even having…

Week 3
Yes! Today was a rest day and tomorrow I begin week 3! I'm super excited, since last time I attempted Insanity I ended up going out of town for a week and stopping at week 3. Trying to start where I left off proved difficult after all that time without a proper workout, so I ended up shelving it for some Jillian until now.…

Keep Going!
I woke up today feeling like I'd spent hours in a mosh pit or something last night (no, I hadn't, lol). Yesterday was a Pure Cardio/Abs day, and I pushed myself harder than I ever had before, so obviously it took it's toll, hehe. Today though was Cardio Recovery day, and after getting through that I feel 100% again.…

Motivation!!
Hey all! I've noticed some down in the dumps posts recently, as we move toward the end of our second week. I'm definitely right there with you on that, I've been feeling a little more tired during the workouts, and I think maybe it's a balance between pushing myself harder and therefore having to take an extra break for a…

Oh Wow
Huh, I am absolutely starving today. 400cals left, so I'm going to eat something in a minute here, but I have to say, I haven't been this hungry any other day this week. I don't have a HRM, so I'm just logging Insanity as "high impact aerobics 30min" (best guess? Since each video is about 40min but contains close to 10min…

2nd Plyo day
Just finished up my Insanity for the day. 2nd time doing the Plyo dvd, and it was awesome! I got through the ski abs and in/out without needing to stop (first time I had to drop to child's pose a few times during those moves), and I definitely felt like I pushed myself a lot harder. My face still feels warm 10min later,…

Back From Hiatus!
Hi all!!! 30 yr old, Idaho/USA, long time member here, back from a hiatus and looking to get on track and make some new pals along the way. My friends list was large, but largely inactive. I'm really looking for some interactive users on here to give mutual support - I have a tendency to not do well on here without the…

NSV
Hell yes!! Finished Day 10 of Level 1 of 30 Day Shred today. I'm extremely excited. I've actually seen the scale move some after a SIX MONTH plateau. My pants feel a bit looser, and I can also feel a huge difference in my arm and leg muscles. Ladies - I'm 225 lbs (I updated my ticker every 10 lbs, seeing the smaller…

Weston A Price
Hello! Any fans out here of Weston A Price? I've been reading up a lot on the nutritional beliefs spurred by his research, and a lot of it makes sense. I've tried looking up long term outcomes, etc, though for people that follow that style of eating and haven't really found anything.... I'm a little confused because I've…

New Account, Not New to MFP. Need Support
Hi all, I just created this new account, and deleted my old one. I had a large friends list, but no one I really connected with. I think I'd prefer a smaller friends list, of active and mutually supportive people that communicate often. My motivation was waning, and I was getting off track - after about a year (and 50lbs…
