Hi! I started insanity yesterday with my fit test. Today was the firat workout...plyo cardio and it was TOUGH I def sidnt make it to the end of each workout but I made it to the end of the session. Go at your own pace I surely didnt try to keep up with them after a while lol. I would love to kepp this chat going to support…

6' Past-180-185 current- 238 Goal- around 20-23% bf hopefully 185-195

If i remember correctly from school: Its called lipolysis. Each fat cell get filled up with i believe triglycerides (fat molecule) when excess food is eaten, to use for future need. So fat cells get bigger instead of multiplying. Each fat cell has receptors i believe alph and beta receptors that specific chemicals…

Congrats so far on your journey! As far as your question, try to space the 6 meals out about 2.5-3 hrs. Eating more frequently raises your metabolism, eating 6 smaller meals that is. Even 5 meals work. Def beneficially to losing weight. Try to have 3 reg type meals and 2-3 snacks. Snacks can be greek yogurt and fruit, RTD…

Heres a solution for some who say "who cares" or "why comment" there is a "private" setting for diaries, so if a person didn't want to get comments or hear feedback they could change it. Everyone is not going to say what they want to hear, our jobs is to help eachother reach our goals and not give misleading info. If you…

UMMM are you confusing me with another commentor? Bc not once did i said i would rip someone a new one for eating bad, did i? NOPE i said i will not say "good job" on 5 days of pigging out....thats not the proper "encouragement" that person needs, they need motivation to get back on the bandwagon especially if i know their…

welp i'm killing time to digest the low fat frozen yogurt, paleo brownie and sugar free chocolate syrup i ate an hour ago.... don't judge me lol going running the 3 mile trail tomorrow

OMG thats my specialty! turning everything i want to eat into a healthy version of it. i always say "everything has a substitue" I still enjoy my foods when i'm on a maintenance plan. When i'm cutting i'm more stricter. I'm getting my bf more into healthy eating, he can't tell the diff between ground turkey or ground beef,…

I just posted a Paleo cookie recipe in the recipe section. OMG so good. i made paleo brownies too. granted its not Betty crocker but it gives me my fix without the grains, gluten, soy or dairy. Paleo = grain, gluten,soy, dairy free (fyi for those that wanted to know)

sigh....."healthy eating is not a necessity for weight loss" if you want to lose muscle go right ahead dear. We don't see eye to eye thats fine, but i will say you have ALOT more info to learn on proper nutrition, FAT loss and being healthy bc you have greatly misinformed and i don't see me saying what i'm saying tonight…

Hello, you said you are 4'9 and 200+ and want to get healthy bc of the strain on the heart.....why don't u eat clean then to lose weight? curious. and by clean i'm saying majority of the days, enjoying the small things every now and then is perfectly fine.

I will only comment if they continuously ate like that,if i see their goal is to lose weight and the past 5 days they had macdonalds... i will not say good job but instead encourage them back on the wagon. Now if they ate fast food once that day and went back to regular eating goals then I won't need to say anything.…

Well i can't comment on mental health but i can focus on physical health. assuming that we are talking about weightloss which is our goal right? Lets focus on physical- eating heathy and working out. Some injuries happen but i wouldnt necesarrily compare a injury to someone who eats junk food everyday to lose weight. I…

cheat days are much needed lol. atleast for my sanity..hahaha

I'm honestly not trying to be rude but i'm not understanding your stance. We aren't talking about mental health but physical health. and actually yes clean/healthy eating and exercise will make you healthy....why do you think otherwise? i'm so confused at this. Negative health effect of exercise, not true, riding a bike…

Well only if youre body doesn't excrete the uric acid out.....could cause cholelithiasis. But if youre urinary system works properly you should be fine. I don't see how comparing protein to junk food is the same?

I don't think it was sterotyping. Its the fact that you said you eat crap and still lose weight, and the other guy mentioned to study on twinkies. thats all. no stereotypes

And uric acid is excreted in the urine....what are you getting at sir?

I think its safe to assume that ppl on this site who want to lose weight prob wants to lose fat. I don't know anyone who wants to lose muscle. Anyone can lose weight but are they healthy? are they losing fat or muscle? its not about fitting a pair of jeans,, you can fit a pair of jeans if you lose 15 lbs of muscle. People…

I love you.....

Youre joking right? (blank stare)

High five lady!!!

ok cal in vs. out still lose weight right? yeah but if its all crap youre losing muscle. and that NOT a healthy weightloss. so cal in vs/ cal out isn't the only thing that counts for losing weight healthily. sorry it just isn't. sorry if anyone doesn't like to hear this but you can't eat 1200 cals of icecream and workout…

hahahaha

Well it can stand but doens't make it true now does it. We can agree to disagee

lol who said losing all control, i think youre magnifying it a bit. Noone is binging (sitting in the fridge door scarfing down everything in site) I'm saying that cals from ice cream won't make you full, or satify you, once it spike youre blood glucose level then drops, which happens quick bc its simple carbs...youre…

I totally agree. We all have goals here, and issues with food, dieting,workouts or w/e it may be. If someone has their diary available they don't mind ppl reading it and possibly critiquing. Its alot of info ppl don't know and its ok to share what you know bc maybe they don't. I won't congradulate repeated bad behavior, i…

you just said "calories from ice cream may trigger hunger responses or craving, but won't force you to eat more" hunger responses= eating more.....Noone say eating ice cream turns into a binge.

Actually its not irrelevant to weight loss. we can agree to disagree though thanks.

i'm baffled at those that think cals=cals. 200 cals of ice icream is NOT the same as 200 cals of pure protein or veggies. You have to think of the effect it has on the body (ie blood sugar and nutrients) 200 cals of ice still triggers the body thats its starving bc it wouldn't get the vitamins/minerals it needed. Thats why…
