Why does the CF community dislike people wearing HRMs????? Also you suggest not to wear them because they are inaccurate??? What's the logic behind it? I'm really curious

Will start Tomorrow :)

Hi I just started yesterday. I'm doing the Beginner version at the moment though I consider myself to be an intermediate or advanced exerciser.... Would like to complete this program doing all three versions.

Thanks for all the helpful info. Gonna try to make my diet a priority and exercise second :) (but consistent)

Hi I'm about 10-15 lbs from my goal. Also I eat a lot :( but I have started that since last week but more intensely... U know. I lift weights once a while. I do have a gym membership

thank you all for replying. Calorie deficit hasn't worked for me, but Intensfying my workouts in the past has. I eat clean 6 days out of the week and splurge within a limit 1 day.

thanks for the advice! I will look into a chest strap

No. I don't have a chest strap. I recently got the battery replaced. -Yea I feel down bc the number of calories is super low and i busted my butt for 50 minutes!

I did well in my eating today, but I did splurge in a small cupcake. it was a bake sale for some cheerleaders...Couldn't resist the german chocolate cupcake. I opted for the one with practically no frosting. Frosting is gross FYI. I had to make buttercream icing and it's all lard or butter. That grosses me out.

Thanks for the info. I have started drinking more water. I especially need the blue gold to recover from a sudden cold. Booooooooooo!

Cool. everyone is on board. I hate over eating guys. I feel gross after I eat a lot and not only do I feel gross psychologically...I'm physically sick. All the grease in my body. I feel like my body is trying to flush out the toxins and it's slowly moving its wheels :*(

Thank you so much for those two tidbits! I will try to eating mantra :) and I do need to drink plenty of water

I am in. I do need the support to drop 30 lbs. I would like to drop at least 20 but making 30 a goal is stepping up the bar for me. I have done yo-yo dieting. I have done intense work outs. I am currently on week 4 of Insanity. will re-do week 4 because I screwed up big time and my diet was awful. I am normally very good…

I'm on week four and I feel great. I just need to continue working it out.

HRM is needed. You don't burn 1,000 calories like the info commercial says u do. I reply on my HRM.

I love my Fitbit. It encourages me to walk more. Be more active. Jump once in a while. it keeps me in check with what I eat too. I like seeing my flower grow. It's a little pricey but the positive outcome that you get is worth it

Got the hint :)

Sorry if this is a noob question, but what is Paleo? Is this some reference to caveman eating and workign out days?

Water equals as water. Don't count other fluids.

I have read that you don't burn much calories during the workout, but there is continuous burn after. I would get a HRM... and when I have used mine, it would always be a low # like 70 for an hour.

Lol... Well I'm a psychologist, and I got down my insanity :) and yes I'm going to get my battery tonight!

thanks! I would like to know how many calories I'm actually burning. My HRM's battery died!

It differs. I use my heart rate monitor!
