Boys are usually short at 12, when they get to 16 they are suddenly taller. This is normal, all the girls in my class were taller than the boys at age 12. Then by the end of high school they were taller than us. We were actually taught this in a science class because it was becoming a problem for the boy's "self esteem".…

I tried it once with an ex-boyfriend. He was French so I guess 'spooning' didn't translate. We tried for 30 seconds and he just said: "your hair is my mouth. What am I supposed to do with my arm?" and then we never did it again...

The fit test? I think it's designed to... You slowly build up. If it's a different work out, same thing, you will be doing it again later in the week. It's hard at first but eventually you end up taking less breaks. Also don't feel pressured by the people in the video, at one point the instructor actually says to one of…

The point of the programme is that you get better over time, practice makes perfect. You can't expect to start running and immediately be an athlete. It's about building it up to that point, hopefully. :wink: Just keep trying, it sounds like you really want to complete it. Use that to motivate you through it and know that…

What are you talking about? Tantrum? Reality? I also find looking at pictures of the Holocaust sickening. Is this opinion wrong? Am I supposed to look at graphic images and feel no emotion at all? Sorry for not being a robot Mr. Reality.

I don't see how any of that takes away my horrible human being accusation... I was just remarking on how gruesome it is that someone is posing next to and glorifying weaponry and dead animals. But then I find most photos glorifying weaponry like this disgusting.

Yes :( I'm doing some firming exercises everyday specifically now.

I hate posts like this, they are just made to rile people up. There's this whole it's natural to kill or something, but what she's doing is posing with animals that she has shot from really far away and have been enclosed for her to shoot. She's a horrible human being. It's for glory and her own ego rather than survival.…

Like someone else said about your profile, you've already lost a lot.. So you're doing something right already! Could you see another doctor? I know it's a family doctor, but you said yourself all she sees is your fat, so maybe it's better to get another opinion or someone you feel more comforted by and feel like they…

I thought Italy would be high up. The food is so amazing in Italy but I think I put weight on when I went there, maybe had too much pizza, pasta, gelato and grilled veggies. Also France is funny because my ex-boyfriend used to always make me his traditional French home town dish which was a load of potatoes with some salad…

What? If I was sick, I'd just give up for the day and sleep it off in bed, no more calorie counting for that day. That should even it out as you won't be counting the calories for dinner.

Thanks, I will try this and see how it goes.

Insanity is on youtube - so it's free!

If you still feel bad don't exercise, just wait it out or do something not so exhausting, like taking a walk.

I'm 21, I just finished my undergrad, but still feel like a student. :glasses:

I just use MFP and log it as 20 minutes of circuit training.

If it's not so serious, maybe they just want some quick reassurance that it's a normal thing that every one gets. Exactly!

I'm interested to know about this also. I am just following insanity from youtube, so I don't have the meal plan, etc. I'm just eating 1400-ish calories on MFP. I will sometimes eat more though if my stomach is rumbling and I also eat back the exercise calories. So I end up eating about 1600 a day.

Maybe a really thick based cheesy pizza or two.

I just did my second fit test since I started and my results are so much better than the first time. Except for power jacks which remain the same the number as I started with, I think because I do them very lightly on purpose because I don't want to hurt myself.

EURGH I know what you mean. Best thing to do I guess is measure for the biggest hook rather than tightest, so you at least have some extra time. But yes, it's very annoying. I have lost some very beautiful bras. :(

I probably wouldn't log supermarket shopping because it just seems like one of those daily activities, I mean unless you were stocking up on really heavy cans and were stopping to do push ups every few aisles and jogging at the same time as pushing the trolley!?

I think it's more of a mental thing about getting over your anxiety and worrying about what others will think of you. People experience it whatever shape/size they are. I was so scared to start running in public at first when I was at 130 lbs. I was just so worried that people would stare at me or laugh at me or I would…

I'm 21, feel free to add me :)

What about Spirulina powder from Holland and Barrett? I put it in with smoothies and also put kale into my smoothies too. Also try adding kidney beans to your salads. I also find it hard to get to MFP recommendations of protein, I think it's quite high.

I would try downloading C25k or "ease into 5k" app, if you iPod has apps. And also looking into buying a running belt, I think you can get them for really cheap online or a sports shop. Mine was about £5 and I use it every time I go running, it has zip pockets and it carries my phone, keys and also has holders for water.

300-500 after exercise?!?! That's the cause of your headaches right there. It could also be that you're not getting enough iron in your diet which I'm sure you wouldn't be if you're only eating 300 calories. So maybe see the doctor and get a blood test.

Skip it if it works for you. Usually my first meal of the day is brunch, that sounds weird... But I really cannot eat before 10am without feeling sick. So I usually have something light which is almost like lunch at around 11-12pm.
