New friends for motivation
Hey all. I've recently come back to MFP and would love to build up my friends list with some like-minded people who actually want to help one another out with motivation, tips, or whatever. Shoot me a friend request if you'd like! I started using MFP about two years ago, and have lost 55lbs and am now working on that last…

Finally starting to feel good about my appearance!
When I was promoted to MSgt in October, 2008, my wife at the time took my picture with my new stripes. I realized when I saw it how heavy I had become, but didn't do much about it until the summer of 2009. I dieted and kind of exercised off and on until this past summer, and managed to lose around 15lbs. Then I started…

Helping a loved one
My fiance has lost quite a bit of weight over the last couple of years, but still has some areas she isn't happy with. She decided after seeing my progress to get serious and is now doing ChaLean X.

I have a little muscle mass from when I was younger and worked out, but I'm not large. I've started incorporating free weights in with Insanity (weights at lunch, Insanity after work) and…

activity level for office job but doing Insanity
Hey, I've read somewhere that those doing Insanity should select active for their daily level, even if they have a desk job. This is because of the massive calorie burn from the workout. Is this really the way I should do it? I get up and move a lot, and try to walk the stairs at least once every couple hours just to get…

Hi!
A little about me and why I'm here: I have been active Air Force for 15 years, but unfortunately haven't been eating well or exercising like I should have in years. A couple years ago, we had a field exercise and afterwards I saw a picture with me (outer shirt off) and I was disgusted. I hadn't realized I had gotten so…
