I'm a 28 yr old mother to a 1 1/2 yr old girl. My family has always been overweight, my mom and aunt have already had gastric bypass and my twin sister is quickly on her way too. I have prided myself at always staying below 200lbs even when I was pregnant but it is too much for my 5ft frame. My husband is a research scientist who is working on genome sequencing and how your genes determine how you can eat and what lifestyle is best. After completing the test for myself we found out I have an insulin sensitivity so my body is not burning the fat it should; ultimately making it twice as hard, longer to lose weight and as a result storing more weight than normal. (I'm sure that is also from my many years of only eating one meal a day... I have ruined my metabolism)

I'm tired of the yo-yo dieting and I don't want to end up like the rest of my family. My husband and I are hoping to get pregnant again this year so I need to make the lifestyle change now, lose some weight and keep it off... getting into better habits now to be a better role model for my children. I recently got into running only because it is something I can do with my daughter (I run with a jogging stroller) it is not something I love to do but HAVE to do. I have the P90X series, Brazil Butt Lift and Insanity. I have done the P90X before for about a month and a half before life got to crazy and I started making excuses. Again from my test results we found out I will benefit the most from extended periods of endurance training rather than resistant (based on my genetics) so I have decided to start with the Insanity series in order to drop the weight first then use P90X to maintain for a while until it is time to switch it up again... maybe do a hybrid of the two.
