Hi, Lellie!! Stick with Insanity. It is a very intense program and you don't need to do anything else while doing it. When I'm trying to lose, I do not take my exercise into consideration. If you go over 100 or so, no big deal, but those calorie estimations are usually off anyway. I have found that people who eat their…

Hi, emily!! Yes, that is a GREAT question! I was going ot start a thread about this soon, so thank you!! Here is an article that will explain it much better than I can!! Tosca Reno has great books about how to eat clean. I highly recommend them!! http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/19/health/tosca-reno-clean-eating/index.html

Welcome Sharon!! So nice to have you join us! How old are your boys?

oh, another addede benefit of making your diary public is that others in the group can get ideas of what to eat! so please consider sharing!!

I just figured out how to change the option from showing Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snack to Meal 1, Meal 2, etc.!! This makes me happy!! My diary will be off a little. It's showing my shakeology as meal 4, but I'm not going to change it now!

I invited everyone from the Get Hot for the Holidays group whose user name I knew! I'll make sure my diary is public right now!
