in Introduce Yourself
Hi all

My first week is up tomorrow. Targeting a 20lbs weight lost(not in the first week). Have 1350 calories a day, finding it tough to change my diet/habits to hit it, who knew a coffee had so many calories.

Weighed 210lbd friday the 6th so hopefully tomorrow there will be some weight loss. Big 35 in 2 weeks so need to get back in shape.

All advice/help gladly accepted

    Im new to it as well

    I think you can eat up to your daily target. So if you have 1000 calories a day, do 400 calories of exercise you can eat in total for the day 1400 calories.

    I have 1350 a day(starving) so doing plenty of exercise to increase my food allowance

    hi--friend request sent. insanity is a 90 day intense cardio workout----LOVE, LOVE LOVE IT. 30 day shred is a jillian michaels exercise dvd---i think. havent done it. have done insanity 3 times---i have to modify it due to still being really heavy but all the moves can be modified. no weights or special equipment needed. BE FOREWARNED---SHAUN T WILL KICK YOUR BUTT and you will enjoy ALMOST every minute of it.

    Had a quick look at youtube for insanity. You would want to be pretty fit to start that. I'll leave off it for a while.

    i wasnt fit at all (and am still not considered fit right now) when i started it. i could barely do a pushup on my knees but now i can do pushups from my toes and even do about 20 of the jack pushups (jumping jacks while in the pushup position--not realy jumping jack--but you do jump out with your feet while doing a pushup--had to claify that ) i couldnt even make it thru the warmup the first month and sometimes still have trouble. it is a great cardio workout though and when you feel ready--i highly recommend it.

    I would consider myself to be fit for my age(35), in relative terms. Maybe I'll give it a go so, thanks for the advise
