Ok, I was under the impression that the % is based on your goal weight (ie.) My goal weight is 160lbs (40% of that is 64g), but now, if i'm wanting to consume 1400 calories (example) the percentage should be 560?? I'm sorry, I'm probably sounding really dumb right now, I'm trying to learn all this stuff...

this may be a dumb question, but; am I right to assume that these percentages should be based on what my goal weight is? Also, I'm on recovery week right now (starting month 2 on Monday), do these calories still apply? I've got like 40+ lbs to lose (technically)

(Sorry, I'm a little slow lol) So, change my protein to 30g? I'm currently at 45g...or are we talking about %?

1200 is my net calories, so if I earn any extra exercise calories, I tend to eat most of them back.

I dont know how to post my pic!! :sad:

What's the "Hybrid/modified verios" of Insanity?

That's AMAZING!!! What an awesome change! Kuddos.. :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I'm currently on the last week of Month 1. I'm pumped of what's to come on the 2nd month, as I've been hearing that it's SUPER intense! Always accepting new MFP friends :smile:

I'm currently on my last week of Month 1 and I think it's AWESOME! As some of my MFP friends keep re-iterating, dont focus so much on the scale when ur doing insanity....b/c it might just be that the pounds won't drop as fast, but the your dress size WILL change! My suggestion: take your measurements. As for food, i pretty…

OH MY GOSH! I'm on my last week of Month 1 and now, reading all these posts, I'm SUPER scared of what's to come in Month 2!!!

this is awesome!! thank you!!!

that's awesome!!! Way to keep on track!!!

The first weight to go at the beginning, is water weight. If you're drastically cutting down your calories from junk to much healthier choices, this will make a huge dent in your weight loss. I wouldnt worry about u dropping 5lbs in 3 days. It WILL slow down after a while. One thing I could suggest thought, is drink more…

You know what, I think you might be right. I started thinking about that, as i was talking to a co-worker. So, maybe I won't pause Insanity until I finish the 8 weeks. Thanks everyone for all your posts!

I love insanity! I truly do! I just want some variation in my physical activity. Change it up a bit, that's all. I'll be back to Insanity.

Girl! Please! I would NEVER remove u as a friend like that lol. I appreciate the tough love. I'm not trying to QUIT insanity, i'm wanting to finish the first month, do RI30 and go back to Insanity (seeing as, ripped in 30, is only 30 days). I'm no longer *****ing about the scale, i actually haven't been on it since my last…

Thanks! It's really tough at first, but your stamina definitely builds! so, would you recommend 30DS as opposed to RI30?? I'm wondering, however, if Insanity is the toughest out there, b/c if that's the case, I'm wondering if I should stick with it, except, I kinda want a little 'change' in my routine...i think that would…

150 I really can't see myself being anything below that :smile:

i'm entereing week 3 of insanity (this week is my 3rd week), but i did notice that during the first week, i had problems with my lower back, but just as everyone before me said, it was all bad form. Once i slowed down and paid more attention to that, the pain went away. And I strongly agree that, if it's painful, take a…

you're more than welcomed to add me for support! :smile:

AMAZING!! Congrats on your new life!!:drinker:

That's awesome!! I'm doing Insanity too and I'm hoping to get some real results. I think that, even though only 9lbs are gone, it's CLEAR that you lost body fat and gained muscle. Way to go!!

you're more than welcomed to add me :smile:
