You need to eat more than 1200 calories. After burning cals doing insanity plus more cardio you will be putting your body into starvation mode. Not sure why MFP puts 1200 as the magic number but it's not!!

I had it for the first time today and it was so good!!

I like doing the reverse crunches and I'm also a runner. They both work for me, but I also do think lifting is good! You are beautiful and I love your mum!!

I'm part ot the no boobs club now (went from DD!!) and I'm always cold. Sounds like everyone has the same issues, LOL.

You need to drink at least 64 oz of water a day. I wouldn't get so set on a weight number. Set goals physically and that is more important than the number on the scale in my opinion. If I were you I would take measurements and track progress that way also. Good luck!

I wouldn't eat back your exercise calories. Honestly, at 5'7" and 142 lbs you are probably pretty thin. How much are you wanting to lose? I am 5'4" and weigh 137 lbs now and I am thin (wear size 2 and 4 clothing). A lot of mine is muscle, but you only weigh a little more than me. Are you drinking plenty of water and…

I love these!! Overnight Crockpot Pumpkin Pie Steel Cut Oats Ingredients •1 cup steel cut oats •3 cups water (add an extra 1/2 cup if you prefer a less thick oatmeal) **I use 1 cup unsweetend vanilla almond milk & 2 cups water instead •1 cup canned pumpkin puree •1 teaspoon vanilla extract •1/4 teaspoon salt •2 teaspoons…

Yum!! I am going to try these. Thanks for sharing!!:smile:

Congrats on the weight you have lost so far! If you don't want to have to get out to exercise, I recommend trying a DVD that you can do at home. I like the Jillian Michaels DVD's 30 Day Shred, No More Trouble Zones, and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. Best of luck!

I am so glad to hear you say this! I totally agree and I don't eat mine back since my dietician friend calculated my calories based on my activity level. There is so much controversy regarding this topic on MFP.

That's great! Definitely get fitted for good shoes, I did and love my Brooks! I started running in June and did the Couch to 5K training program. It is a great program!! I ran my first 5k last month, my second one yesterday, and I have another one in a couple of weeks. I am now training for a 10K that is at the end of…

Can't wait to try some of these!! I absolutely love pumpkin and will be stopping at the store tomorrow to get some ingredients!!

Yummy!! How many grams of sugar?

I am starting on 6/11. My neighborhood is doing it and about 40 people have signed up so far!

This happens to me sometimes. When I go to bed I am full but my body is telling me it needs something. I usually only notice it if I wake up to use the restroom. A coworker that is very knowledgeable about diet/exercise told me to have a little protein drink. I will just drink a 1/2 cup skim milk with a 1/2 scoop of my…

I cannot get this to work when following the directions step by step!!

I am doing the 30 DAY SHRED also. I also walk most days after because it just feels good to me. I walk for 25-40 minutes. I have just started adding in Jillian's No More Trouble Zones to the mix. I will be doing it 2-3 times a week and 30 DS 3-4 times a week. It is less cardio and more strength training. It is about 50…

I have never found a bra that held mine in place until recently. Based on recommendations here I bought the Moving Comfort Juno bra on Amazon. I paid $30 for it and it's awesome. These suckers don't move even when I do jump and jacks!!

I like grape rum with grape crystal light when I do have a drink. I'm sure it would be good with flavored vodka also.

Amazing job!!! You look fantastic! What an inspiration!!

I just got it today! I have already completed 5 days of Level One though. The complete Level One is on YouTube. I have been just using my laptop and doing it. It kicks your butt, but I love it so far!!! I also got Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones and can't wait to try it soon! Good luck!!

Thanks, I upped my calories on here to help me keep track too!

Thanks, I'm trying to figure it all out!! It's a numbers game for sure.

Last night I decided I would weigh in today. I joined the evening of 4/16 but really started focusing on it starting the next day. I was super happy to weigh in this morning and see a 2 lb loss!!!!

Great, thanks! I have a lot more calories to eat from now on.

I used this site to calculate my TDEE in the above post. So if I follow what you are saying I need to eat 1,944 calories. On my exercise days (6 days a week) I am burning about 450 calories. That puts me at about 1,500 net.

It says my TDEE is 2,444. So that means that I should eat 10-20% below this number, correct? If so, I would need to eat between 1,955-2,199 and not eat back my exercise calories. Most of my exercise days I burn about 450 calories, so this sounds right I guess. Am I analyzing this correctly? So basically net 1,500-1,700…

LOL! You can have my extras!!
