  1. Asylum is agility and sports training. You do ladder drills and sports type movements. Insanity is a bit simpler movements in my opinion but at a very high intensity and repetition

  9. Me too! So hard when we are working so hard! I workout 2x a day and count everything I eat...grrr! A trainer told me I wasn't eating enough and our body is holding into food because we're stalling our metabolism. Not sure if its true but I'm trying to eat more and see what happens. (Scary!!)
  10. I just finished insanity asylum...were starting insanity next week! My husband sells the DVD series if your interested! Amazing workout. I feel I get a better workout than I did at the gym because its full body and changes daily! WWW.beachbodycoach.com/fullyfitbymike

  14. I have had my band since June. I've lost 85 pounds and love it! I never had restriction (chicken was hard to eat) but since I didnt get hungry for hours my Dr didn't fill me more. I am now pregnant and gave into a craving. I'm wondering why I never feel pressure/pain/full when I step off my diet/meal plans. I could literally eat anything if I allowed myself. Is this normal? Could my band have deflated or something?

  16. Here is my 7 month progress. My Dr sent me my before today. I'm 6 week pregnant and 7 months post op. Down 84lb since preop diet. How is everyone else doing?
  17. That's great!! Any tips? Did u workout a lot? Keep calories around 1000?
  18. So far so good! I found out we were pregnant a week ago.. since then I am down 3 lbs. So great! Its so weird that I am losing but my tummy is getting rounder! #2 is def gonna show before #1 did! I have contiuned my workouts-increased cardio and decreased weights. I have maintained my diet but gave in to some cracker temptations LOL I went out to dinner but avoided what I "wanted" and got what I knew was appropriate calories for a meal. Phew! I hope I can continue to avoid a huge gain... i understand i will most likely gain because I am pregnant BUT last pregnancy I gained 70 lbs so it feels great that I am making better choices already!
  19. Stick with it! I have no restriction so it has been a lot of mental focus and choices my body will allow me to eat anything. Ensure u get your water and protein! Adjust calories as needed. Sometimes I would stall so I add 100 calorie or so. Crazy sometimes u need more than u think. Also stay active! I walked 5 miles about 3-4 times a week from the start.
  20. I am hoping to make it without removing liquid one has not been tight so hoping even with some swelling I'll still be good! Good luck with your pregnancies ladies. We are 5 weeks

  22. Oh! That is no good. Hopefully they figure out why
  23. We are 4 weeks pregnant. Yay! I have 30 lbs til goal but have lost 80 since I was banded June 12. Hopefully I can avoid much gain.. stay strong! I have no restriction so hope I won't have to unfill.
  24. I know girls that don't have the band that had that happen when pregnant. Happens to some people....sorry your not having an enjoyable pregnancy thus far.
