I thought I would update this original post. I have completed P90X in June 11, I completed Insanity, though it took my much longer in month two due it being summer and I had many outdoor projects going on. I am right now in my 9th week of round two of P90X with a little Insanity mixed in. I dare think I might try The Asylum in December!!!!! I have P90X2 on pre order. I drink Shakeology every day!

I lost about 15 pounds of fat in my first round of P90X, about 10 through Insanity (mind you it was summer BBQ season) and down about 5 pounds into P90X round 2. A total of roughly 30 pounds of FAT with some muscle gain, maybe 3-4 pounds.
I have lost 2.5" from each thigh, almost an inch off my ankle, 6 inches from my belly button waist, 3.5 from the smallest part of my waist. Almost 5 inches from my hips.
Everything in my life is easier because of my strength and more importantly balance in my core.

The ladies I have met on this thread have been amazing and have completely helped motivate me on the days I have felt low.

I urge anyone who has read this far to join this thread and become part of the transformation.

Ladies UNITE!!

Welcome Vaann!

I see that you have posted a picture. That is great. I encourage you to take some day 1 photos and take your measurements. A lot of times folks don't feel like they have made progress if they have no concrete way to measure it besides the scale. We hate the scales!

Also, do you have a program that you are starting? Have you already started it? Have you read through the nutrition guide that came with it. They are all a bit different but can be really simplified. I would also encourage you to join the workout group Team Engage. Take some time to explore the WOWY gym and start recording your workouts as well. These tasks improve your chances of completing your program.

WOOHOO!

Welcome! hmmm I think we are going to need a name for you

Looks like you have been a part of team beachbody for a while but not so active on the boards. Since you reached out to us here, I am hopeful that you can find the motivation you are looking for.
Can you tell us a little bit of your story? What are your goals, which programs you are doing?
I am a big fan of the personal story, it motivates me so much!

That is terrible! What browser are you using? Explorer, Firefox, safari? Do you have the same trouble on different computers? You may have some viruses on your computer too. I can help with that through email.

I am JoAnn BTW!

I think I would try logging on to the site on a different computer, lets say you go to Best Buy and try on one of theirs. (Remember to log out afterwards)
Also while posting pictures, the file should be pretty small. You may have to re-size the file on your computer before trying to upload them. Right click on the photo you want and choose "open with paint" Once in the paint program, choose "re-size photo". I usually re-size by 50%. Then hit save. You should have better luck uploading then.

If you are able to log on to WOWY from a different computer, then I would take yours to maybe Staples to have them "clean it up". Staples does not charge a lot for this but they will try to sell you a bunch of software. Don't buy any because you can download better free stuff.

Great! Sounds like you are in it for the long haul as well! Welcome! What program are you doing?

You can count me in. I started Insanity 6 days ago. before that I did 90 days of power90. I have been suck well above 200lbs for almost 2 years since giving birth to my son and i am more than ready to lose it!

Thanks! finishing Power90 was a huge deal for me! I started and stopped it several times before this last time of starting it and finishing. and I really really like insanity! Its tough but so worth it! there is still quite a bit I have trouble doing but I do try every single move and do as much as i can.

I was using my fitness pal in the past but then my husband got me a bodymeida armband and that is where i track all my calories and such. and it really does help to actually see what you are eating.

Just wanted to drop in and give a show of support for Team Engage! Good luck to everyone and if there is anything I can do to help just let me know! The Team Engage community is strong and here to help!
