Hello everyone! My name is Liz. I have never used a site like this before, but I feel like I could really benefit from the support. I am currently trying to lose about 70 lbs. I am on my 4th day of Insanity, and it is definitely a challenge!! My short term goal for now is to finish one round of Insanity. I am hoping to see decent results afterwards that will motivate me to complete my journey. Any words of encouragement or a buddy to help keep me accountable would be amazing! Thanks!

I don' know anything about insanity but just join in on some of the threads here.
Jump right in.

ask questions, give your opinion whatever

thanks!

Welcome, Liz! I, too, chose a weight loss plan that would show results quickly in the beginning, in order to be motivated to continue down the road. It has been working so far! (I started 3/26/14.) Like you, I set short term goals, to see if it's effective for me. If I stall for a long time (definition of long time TBD), I'm willing to change plans. I don't know Insanity, but I want to wish you well. You can do it!
Keep up your good work!

Thanks so much for the motivation! It's good to hear you've been sticking with your plan. What weight loss plan did you choose, if you don't mind me asking. I just love learning new ideas.

I chose the 17 Day Diet (Dr. Mike Moreno has two editions of the book by the same title. The 2nd edition is called The 17 Day Diet--Breakthrough Edition.) I bring up the difference because the Breakthrough Edition has a 'transitional fasting day' that the original book doesn't have. Today I'm doing the 'fasting.' Not really fasting since I'm drinking healthy smoothies.

Again, good luck to you!
