Does it matter whether you exercise twice a day or once? I feel if I did I would get results faster but in turn would have to consume more calories which I would be a little wary of. Any thoughts?

    Depends on the time of workout you are doing - how long and how many calories you are burning

    Ahh, got it! It is Insanity/P90X in the AM, then elliptical and weights in the PM.

    For my commutes by bike, I do it twice a day, for about 25 minutes, each round is about 300 calories. No problem with that.

    My weekend rides are for about 2-2.5 hours. I can only do one of those a day, it's about 1000-1200 calories.

    So you would be double dipping.
    You will burn calories from the P90 and then burn more from the cardio/weights in the afternoon.
    Sounds like a recipe for success to me !

    I guess I am trying to see what I can do to drop 30lbs the fastest by September (my birthday). I am trying to weigh 125. I currently weigh in at 155.

    THANKS! Makes me feel MUCH more comfortable :) Funny, when I was in the Army I didn't have to worry about any of this as I was pretty much forced to work on it 5 days a week, twice a day lol.
