I have yet to cut out anything completely, going for the moderation thing. I would be more successful to cut out these things but not very happy: 1. ALCOHOL (Social drinker-not like I have a problem) 2. Chocolate 3. Anything fried 4. Butter (I'm a southern lady and butter is in everything) 5. Starchy carbs (I LOVE potatoes…

I average 500-550. I really need to do another round.

Ha we should start a club. I'm at 164 now and was 153 last April. That was the lowest I ever remember being. In about 4 months I gained it all back. It's like my body is programed for the 160s and my mind is 140s. I have been going to the gym and being active since October and really need to work more on my diet but I have…

I believe I have hypothyroidism. I have a lot of the symptoms, however, I can not afford to go to the doctor. I have horrible insurance, copay is $100. I really want to know if that is the problem but shelling out that kind of money is tough. I am always tired, cold and have been trying to lose weight (diet and exercise)…

I have a Polar FT4, I burn 100 calories/10 minutes. My best workout was 1,000 in 90 minutes. I would say they are overestimating or doing some crazy things.

I try to not keep it in the house. But much like weaning your self off any other kind of bad-for-you-thing don't stop cold turkey. I've never smoked a day in my life but have been around people who have stopped. Sometimes you need to wean off. Try to replace at first, instead of full fat ice cream, switch to frozen yogurt;…

Chocolate, red wine and bad carbs. I compromised with dark chocolate, mixing red wine with sparkling water to make spritzers and dilute the wine, and eating whole wheat pasta and sweet potato fries.

I just ordered 30DS. I have been completely lost on this weight loss thing. I am 26, 167 lbs 5'5" and eat around 1500/day. I go to the gym with a friend 3x a week and use a hrm and average 300-450 burn in 45mins. I usually eat back exercise calories even though it does not make sense to me. If I do 30DS should I eat back…

I am right there with you. I have started working out back in October and really serious about calorie counting for about two months now. I eat 1500 which is my TDEE(at sedentary)-20% and eat back exercise calories and have lost ONE freaking pound! I don't have the more energy thing and see no hope in sight but refuse to…

My diary is open and I'm open to help. I am 26, female, 5'5", desk job, want to lose 30lbs. Right now my settings are 1500 calories and 35C-40P-25F macros. I workout 3 times a week and have a Polar FT4 to track calories. I have been eating back excercise calories. I did Insanity last year and lost 10lbs but hurt my knee…

My patience because in weight I've lost a big 'ole 0! Working out and tracking food...but I guess I should not stop.

Thought this too. I added the two hours I already watched after work and before going to the gym then the two the show was and watched four hours myself. I totally LOVED the deck of card workout and definitely LOLed at the ACE OF BURPEES!

I've had my FT4 for about 9 months and it started acting up the same way. I contacted Polar and they told me to wash the strap in the washing machine and change the battery in the transmitter. They reminded me to not store the transmitter on the strap because of corrosion with the metal and to wash the strap with water…

Yep! April 2012 I was 152 after Insanity and logging food. Then I moved into a horrible living situation where I never wanted to stay at home and ate out all the time. By December I was back where I started at 168. The best part, most of the weight went back to my boobs, went from 34C to a large 36D! I have yet to get the…

Bacon cheeseburger, Chicken Wings and WINE!

Chips and queso! It is unhuman the amount I used to eat.

By far my favorite purchas is my Polar FT4! I would agree on the food scale, cheap and effective.

I have a desk job. I track my excercise with my Polar FT4. When I lost the 18 lbs I was doing insanity but I hurt my knee and cannot do the jumping and stress it puts on my knee. I think I am going to up my calories to 1500 net and try that for a while. I am also going to kick up my exercise to do a combo of insantiy and…

YEP!!! Thunder thighs, saddlebags, and KNEE FAT! I'm glad I'm not the only one with it. My legs are hideous. I live in the south were it was 120% humidity on a good day and refuse to wear shorts/skirts until I lose my leg fat.

I do Insanity and by the recovery week I was getting burned out and needed a change. I was getting so lazy and literally had to make myself get started and would quit after the workout. I also had horrible knee pain. So, I decided on day to work without shoes (mainly cause I was too tied to put on shoes) and it has made a…

1.Almond Milk 2.Protein shakes 3.Bananas 4.Sugar free dark chocolate pudding (yum!) 5.Fiber One brownies (can you tell I'm a chocoholic?) 6.Greek yogurt 7.Shrimp (a new obsession but I live at the coast, so it's even better) 8.Frozen fruit 9.Texas Pete...I put that *stuff* on everything lol 10.Coffee (I work way early…

I'm 5'5" and 156lbs. During month 1 I ate 1475, month 2 I am going for 1500 at least.

I'm in the same boat. I work in hospitality and it is usually non stop work. Every weekend one of the companies we work with brings donuts, local restaurants bring in food samples to convince us to send guest to them and our cafeteria food is, well, cafeteria food. A lot of times (mostly weekends) we order food due to not…

I've been on depo on and off for 10 years and I have not gained weight. It does not make me hungrier either. I struggle to eat above 1400 calories a day. I'm sure it is making me retain some water weight but the most my doctor can account since I've been on it is 5 pounds. I'm sure it is not making my new weight loss…

I'm on day 20!!!

Burpees for sure! I do Insanity and Shaun T calls them suicides which is properly named... After reading the other posts, I love mountain climbers; I could do them all day before doing one burpee correctly.
