Primal.

Primal. Do a little research (www.marksdailyapple.com) and it all starts to make sense.

I do, but seriously debating on ditching the panties! I absolutely HATE getting wedgies while working out, totally throws me off my game. Maybe it's just me, but I haven't found a pair of undies that didn't creep up my crack yet. Since finally losing the weight I wanted, I've been transitioning to spandex...I'm thinking…

Depending on the workout, I like to eat my workout calories. If it's pretty intense, it's important that you're fueling yourself properly. Of course starvation mode is not really as big as a deal that everyone puts out, your body does eat muscle mass (which is used to burn fat) when it goes in to ketosis...sooooooooooo,…

No, a calories is not just a calorie. Fruits and veggies are definitely calories worth over a donut or something equally terrible. I would just watch how many carbs you're taking in. It's incredibly hard to overdo it on carbs when considering vegetables, but fruits are whole different story. Fruits, although natural, still…

Congratulations! That's awesome! Personally, I love to see how far I've come and keep mine up there. It'll be even better when I see the number change. What you have already done can motivate others to make it that far, but what you are going to do will be even greater! Either way, I know you're going to do great! Work it…

You are actually pretty close to what your body adequately needs:0) It really depends on what you're doing as a workout whether you need more or less, but I definitely wouldn't go any less than that. The easiest way to figure out calorie intake I learned from one of my workouts and you just take your "Weight X 10". So, if…

I have had the MOST success by eating Primal. The protein and fat provide me with MORE than enough energy and have curbed that crazy hunger I used to have. I don't miss the grains and dairy, figured out that they would make me bloat! Not going to lie, it was a small struggle to cut out the foods that I was so used to…

Have you ever tried throwing it on a salad? I know, sounds weird, but it's just like adding Parmesan or any other cheese to it. I LOVE Cottage Cheese, but I've stopped eating it since going Primal, but it's actually an acceptable cheat for the Primal lifestyle. I also know that there are a few dips that you can make and…

I've always had a small chest and pretty much felt that I would always be ok. BUT, after losing around 50lbs I've noticed that my once perky titties are not so perky anymore! I am currently working on the same issue and have been told that push-ups, pull-ups, and chest work WILL bring them up a little, but I can only…

First, get yourself a HRM as soon as you can. There are tons of them for cheap on Amazon, Ebay, and whatever...that's if you want to seriously track your calories. Otherwise, you can compare it to a workout that is already in MFP like "running" for the cardio. Insanity is like interval training, so it shouldn't be too far…

Try eating the calories that you add by working out each day. That should give you more calories and help you get through a plateau. MFP has tons of guidelines, but that's just all they are, a starting point. If you're only eating the calories that you've worked for, then you won't have to worry about overeating, or…

Depending on what your goals are will be how you adjust your intake. I eat Primal, so I like to keep my carbs below 100g, so I adjust the percentage until is says so. It also depends on what you would like to focus on, because these are only guidelines. If you are looking to track your protein intake, then you just do the…

I was the same way when I would go out to eat! We've been told since we were little that leaving ANY food on the plate is a waste and that starving children would appreciate it. Here are a couple of ideas to kick the habit and hopefully soothe your mind as far as wasting goes. 1. Make/serve less food. It takes a little…

Hey everyone! I'm still at Fort Gordon, GA and started a 90-Day FIT Challenge. If anyone is in the area and would like to start their OWN 90-Day FIT Challenge, let me know. I've already got a nice group of peeps who are making the commitment and we are all supporting each other! All we do is "press play" every day and keep…

Alright my friends! It's been over a month (going on 2) since my hubby has been deployed. I think I have done pretty well emotionally. Of course I've had some hang ups, but I find myself pretty fortunate with the amount of technology that is available:0) So, I'm going to continue to look forward to the time he returns and…

So, day 3 and I'm still surviving without my hubby...good to know, lol. I've managed to get myself up early this morning and start a good schedule. I started with a devotion, then finished off "Failing Forward" by John C. Maxwell (great book btw!) and started Chalene Johnson's 30 day Challenge. I'm going to be doing a lot…

I'm from Iowa too! From Cedar Rapids:0)

I'm in Augusta, GA right now...getting ready to move to Grovetown:0)

So, my husband deployed today...kind of in a funk, but I know I'm going to have to snap out of it quickly! I want to make sure that when he comes back I'm the girl he first met 4 years ago:0) I've armed myself with some awesome tools for weightloss and I'm going to make it happen! I've got around 199 days before he comes…

Woo Hoo!!! Plus, it looks like you've lost 17! So Congratulations:0) Quitting smoking is not an easy thing to do! What an accomplishment!

Hey, it really happens to the best of us and the rest of us! You're not alone when it comes to the downfalls. I recently realized that I have been WAY too lenient on my eating habits lately, so I just have to reel myself back in and move on. As long as you see where you are going wrong and FIX IT forget about yesterday and…

WELCOME! I know that I have had a great experience with MFP. I just love the conversation, the motivation, and the encouragement that is poured over everyone on here! I hope that your experience will be as good as mine. I, too, used to be in very good shape and I ended up gaining around 50lbs that I just couldn't handle…

I was the SAME way! I toned up a lot, but barely lost 5lbs! I've only got about 10-15lbs left to hit my goal weight! I am definitely looking and feeling better, but I'm in the Army Reserve myself and would LOVE not to have to be taped!

Completely agree!!!! I was the same way:0) LOVED my results, but only lost like 5lbs.

OMG! Just a few more days! How is your progress? Did you lose weight? Tone up? I toned up A LOT the first round I did, so I went back for a second round:0) I had to move on, but then I realized that I was completely addicted to P90X lol! So I'm back at it again and it's STILL kicking my butt! LOVE IT! Keep up the…

Well, I'm glad I at least got ONE response, lol. We were "this" close to moving on to Fort Gordon when we found a house we are buying right now:0) It's so nice to meet people in the same area! Right now, I live a little further away from post so Powerhouse Gym seems sooooo far away in the morning, lol. It's awesome that…

Yay! It's great to see that we are already building our team here:0) My name is Cassie and I'm originally from Iowa, but I am currently stationed at Fort Gordon with my husband. He's Active Duty Army and will be deploying in the next couple of weeks:0( I know, a bummer, but we'll get through it! I want everyone to feel…

Everyone is pretty much different when it comes to caloric intake, but I you should be pretty safe consuming a good amount of calories when doing such a vigorous workout like Insanity. You'll definitely need the energy! Anyway, I did not lose a lot of weight with Insanity, but I did lean out and lose some inches, and I…

I quit smoking a little under a year ago and the hardest thing for me was stress. It's not always easy to remove yourself from stressful situations, but I did have to remove myself from being a social smoker. I found that the more I exercised, the less I craved a cigarette. I think the best way to keep exercising if the…
