Thanks - I'm a little concerned that my Fitbit may be giving me too much credit. I usually eat back some (not all) of my exercise calories adn this may be screwing with my mind if nothing else. I'm thinking about taking a break from Fitbit while I finish Insanity, it's just hard to put my little buddy down :)

That might just be it. I'll pay more attention to that point and start cutting back. Although I track it, I've never really paid much attention to it.

thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the tip. I'm in the middle of Insanity right now and determined to get my 30 days done before a 9 day vacation. I will definitely take your advice when I go on vacation later this month and give me body a break.

I tried that last night. I ate exactly an extra 500 calories. Thanks for the tip.

BTW - I'm 5'4.5 (yes, i take credit for the .5) and about to turn 35 next month - today's weight in was 186.6 lbs

be careful - fitbit does not calculate insanity well. It recorded 250 calories burned vs 525 using my heart rate monitor.

Start Date: 6/26/12 Projected End: 8/26/12 Following Nutrition Guide: no Starting weight(with Insanity): 185 Goal Weight(hoping to reach after completion): ??? - I've been holding steady for the last 2 1/2 weeks. My goal is to finish the program and hopefully the rest will follow.

looking good!

Looking strong and in shape! No stopping you!

Invest in the right shoes and stay off the concrete sidewalks to reduce impact and risk of injury.

I have one and I do like it alot. However, I wish I would have invested in a HR monitor with a chest strap instead.

awesome results :heart:

I think our excitement about weight loss and working out has its ebs and flows. Sometimes you all "eye of the tiger" and sometimes your dragging yourself to go for a simple walk. The reality is thats ok and perfectly normal. I try to remind myself of this and that means I allow myself to work through it and that might mean…

Yes. I can go up as much as 10 lbs during tom and it takes another 5 days or so after it ends to take it off. But the good news is that it comes off.

awesome work!

here's my lazy but delicious receipe. chicken cabbage (1 head) 3 potatoes (cut into chunks) 2 goya seasoning packets 1 onion diced 3 cloves of garlic lemon pepper salt crushed red pepper cook 6-8 hours serve with steamed brown rice and sirachi sauce for extra kick

I just started yesterday. Feel free to add me for motivation. Planning to finish this for my bday in late August.

I'm for hire and I'm quite funny.

Underwent intensive treatment for my sciatica for 4 months after 2 years of misery. I can now exercise and walk. Acupuncture was my last ditch effort to prevent surgery and I'm so blessed to have given it a shot.

I always wear my headphones when I cycle outside on dedicated bike paths - mind you there is limited traffic on my path and I don't blast the music. I can usually hear oncoming cars behind me.

bump - will definitely be making these!

I usually do a cheat meal on the weekend but not a day unless its tom. I don't eat my exercise calories so I figure I'm banking them for a high calorie meal. I still deficit weekly.

wood grilled lobster shrimp and scallops :) with brocolli as a side of course! you'll be too full to eat the rice pilaf

you could always try a few new yummy recipes and have a meal in the park :heart:

I'm 5'4 on a good day :wink:

spagetti squash is an excellent pasta fake
