CrossFit

I hope it all goes good for you Myka

I am not a big believer in exercise programs there is no doubt that they are good for a person but for too many people that is an end all be all solution for them plus you have to want to do it joining up is all fine and dandy but if the drive to do it ain't there well you've just wasted a pile of money. Then once the membership or term is up it is up to you to continue the regime and by and far most people let it fall to the wayside.

I was on the verge of being morbidly overweight I was having daily Gout attacks even had trouble tying my workboots up almost even became the stereotypical fat person wearing sweatpants that was the final straw for me. I finally had enough and did my own weight loss I literally stopped eating I went down to a meal a day no snacking and no junk food. I lost 129 lbs in 3 months was it excessive yes but I also needed to do it for myself had 3 gout attacks in last 4 yrs and have maintained my weight at a comfortable lvl. I am still overweight and never have been a skinny person and I suspect I will always have extra baggage but compared to what I did weigh to now being 60 lbs over ideal weight I will take what I have now.

I don't have time to go to any sort of classes or gyms, and I was gaining 5lbs of weight a month since I quit smoking. (replaced cigarettes with eating.)

What I did was started and finished Sean T - Insanity. It's an at home DVD that requires no weights or equipment. It's extremely difficult, but I noticed results pretty fast. And now, I'm doing Focus T-25. Which is 25 minutes a day instead of the 1 hour Insanity workout.

For those of you who are trying to loose weight, and are considering something similar to Crossfit, I would suggest trying Insanity at home - I dare you all to get through the first week!

Sorry, don't mean to hijack, just thought it was relevant. ;D
