Hi all, I've been a typical stereotypical male, leaving the cooking to my other half. That started to change when I decided to change my life for the better 11 days ago, I decided to take back control of my body, it's been going on the wrong direction for several years and I added another 10lb since the last time I was on…

ReGina, why would you want to stop? You're doing freaking awesome, you've lost weight and I honestly think you should dig deeper and continue, you know this is what YOU want and it's not about anyone else. Being mindful of that why do you think your relationship is failing, does your partner not want you to change? Do you…

Guys can I ask what file size should the pics be? Tried to post but pic size was coming out at 1.5mb to 2.5mb, is that too much to post? If so any iPhone apps to reduce it down to 300mb or less?

I apologise to Sarah for asking a question on her post. Tavistock Toad seems to be pretty switched on and clued up. But why shouldn't you eat calories below your BMR? I'm 52, 250lb and doing the Insanity Programme (well to my ability not Shaun's). I'm burning anywhere between 450 -1100 calories daily exercising, but if my…

Hi Cassidy Congrats by the way, fantastic effort. Surely if you're lifting weights and possibly doing less cardio (?) you'll be putting muscle mass on? I have no idea what timescale the last 3-4 pics were, are they monthly (?), if so and in that time you have been concentrating on lifting, you've probably put that 5lb on…

Are they just sore/achy or actually painful if you do certain exercises? Does the pain reduce after you start running and return after exercising? Is there any bruising? Is there a specific part, inside ankle , outside ankle, below the ankle or above the ankle front? Without enough information, it could be down to anything…

Well as 52 year old, 250lb, not exercised for over 6 years ........ I'm doing Insanity! Insane, I Know. But dietary and other exercising did not work for me, at all. So, I'm following the Insanity programme and if I can't keep up, I pause it, I rest, until I get my heart rate back down. Yes this extends the time it takes…

Carrie, I'm no doctor, but have been exercising for just a week 4 days in had lost 8lb and then put 6lb back on. For me this was down to day 5 & 6 as I had to up my carbs for an energy spike and although this pushed my weight back up, I'm realising that the overall weight loss should still be going down. I also put it down…

Damn! I wrote way more, but didn't realise that the posts were limited!? If I get a chance tomorrow will rewrite again about the apps I use and the exercises that regularly get me over 500cal

Got the Apple Watch as a gift for Xmas, I think it's the first series), but love the HRM . At 52 it's definitely high on the list, I know it's probably not accurate, but it gives me a good indication that I'm reaching my limit, also the heavy breathing, the sweat and the swearing is also another great indication! Is it the…

Hi k13' I've no experience with wheelchairs and have only just started exercising, at 52. I've tried dietary in the past and nothing really worked. 6 years later at 250lb, I had enough and now doing the Insanity Programme, I know .... I'm stupid, but it's working for me! I can honestly say SNAP, I can quickly get my BPM to…
