  • -What was your starting weight? 183 -What's your target? 130, Though this is based on the lowest weight I've ever been but I didn't have as much muscle then so probably 135ish -What are you now? 153 (as of this week!) -How many calories/day do you consume? Net 1200 is my goal. The workouts I do burn 500-700 calories in 45…

  • I used to have a big issue with this as well! My wake up call of how many calories I was consuming in alcohol actually came just over a year ago. When I was in school I would drink probably 4 days a week because I felt like I deserved a break. Not binge drinking by any means but a drink or two each of those nights. If you…

  • A fellow Canuck with similar starting stats! I'm 5'6 and started at 181, now at 174. I got dedicated to using MFP to get the calories under control and start walking more at the end of July through to mid August. Didn't see much of a change size-wise but did see a general health improvement. Then I got going with Insanity…

  • So inspiring! Have also come across a few myths along the way and totally agree with judging your size based on how your clothes fit, how you feel, how much faster/stronger you are and by pictures. Love this article - thank you so much for taking the time to post it!

  • Hey! I would highly suggest getting a heart rate monitor, either one that goes around the chest or around your wrist. It gives a far more accurate count of how many calories you're burning. I kept putting in the Circuit Training, general into my workout pages and it comes out to about 10 calories/minute. Though I find that…
    in Insanity and Calories Comment by kelso235 October 2012
  • One of the things that I've found in using this website/app is that cleaning is actually a way to burn calories. I had just never really thought about it before I guess but it does make sense. After even half an hour of scrubbing, sweeping or tidying I find I can feel my heart going! Today I had a piece of pizza from a…
    in Not doing that well... Comment by kelso235 August 2012
  • I find it's usually around $45 for just myself. I've started making a rough meal plan for two weeks at a time as I just finished school so I'm on a pretty tight budget AND I want to eat healthier. That includes occasionally buying things like smoked salmon or better cuts of meat. Haven't perfected the meal plan yet but…
