I love Chana Masala. very easy to make and so tasty. fills you up. We tend to have cubed potatoes in there too and also have like a crunchy side to sprinkle on top. ( like ready salted crisps crunched over the top) As for lentils theres so much variety and flavour in the different dishes. wish i could cook them, ill try…

Hey, just thought id add my experience. Just completed 2nd week of Beta. previously have done insanity few times over, although not all in one go. most iv managed is about 7 weeks before some kind of injury. Anyhoo, iv a mixed relationship with T25. i don't find it as fun as insanity, but its getting me results and I'm…

Hey Buddy, those pics must make you feel sooooo goood !! Its an amazing progress you have made and i wish you all the best for the next set of goals and targets. Keep up the good work.

last weeks stats are in from my fit bit 25.56 miles. 95 ish to go Hope your all doing well.

lets do this! im ready! seeing as i dont know if i can workout at my normal level, this may give me the push to keep walking whilst i heal. 120miles / 34 days = 3.53 miles per day..... iv done 3.8 miles today :o)

Stick at, Its an awesome work out. When i first started it would take me 1.5 hrs+ to complete the first work out as i had to to take so many breaks. I think i used to take breaks in the warm up too. My form was terrible i was gasping , i kept having to pause and rewind bits to catch up. Thats was back in Aug 2012. and…

Firstly ^^ amazing results and attitude. My own experience... i started out feel utterly disgusted with myself. As i had not done any exercise for a long time, the first week was hard but you see a lot of water etc loss and i felt like it was going in the right direction. After that every time i looked in the mirror i…

I tened to have a chococlate protein shake after my work out. I use Green and Blacks Organic Hot chocolate and Plain protein powder, either with water , almond milk or semi skimmed milk, Or a mixture of water and Almond/milk. total cals vary from 136 to 160cals or so which i think is quite low. I also sometimes have this…

Great topic, i remember posting about month 2 in my first round of insanity and i felt like i almost died on day 1 of month 2. suffice to say i was not in the best of shape and i sturggled with month2 . Glad to say im now on second round of month2 and its going much better. As for push ups - i struggle with them too. Bad…

^^ agree. rest it out. Could just be over worked. Get lots of water and do some tummy stretches and see how you feel. depending on the pain, get a Dr to confirm if its a pulled muscle. training on it could make it much worse.

Hi Alice, welcome to the insane world Shaun T has created for us! First of all congrats on making it through 5 days in a row. Thats superb! Im on my second round of insanity now, but in my first round i tried my best to do 6 days a week, i managed to do a fair few, but i also slipped a few weeks here and there where i only…

First of all well done on kicking *kitten* for 4months solid!! thats real dedication! Hey, I felt the same towards the end of my first round of insanity. I felt demotivated, tired and fed up. I started wokring out in June with just some elliptical machine work outs then fasting, then insanity. So by the end of it i was…

Im doing ok, iv been plodding along with my work outs, trying to put the blinkers on any negativity and press play every day. My weight is not changing very much at all. iv lost 2kg in the beginning , some of which will be water no doubt, i have lost on the inches though. Starting waist was 33.5inches. Im now 31.5inches.…

Thanks for putting in the effort to create this. iv updated my figures. not that it has changed much lol. Will see what it says by the end of the week. Its gone by rather quick though - 3 weeks to go!!!

We bought this one a few years ago... http://www.powerjuicer.com bought it from QVC outlet for £15!! :) in my opinion the juice we make form this taste infinitely better then almost anything you can buy. save for a few good brands of juice. One apple and orange normal size = 1 glass of juice. iv made other combinatiosn…

Today was a good day. 70 min walk and Insanity Plyometric work out. Total cals burned so far 2567

Thats great improvement. Well done

Hi Everyone, I actually started working out, after a 3 wk break from doing my first round of insanity, last week. So id like to use that starting weight. I am not sure how much weight i can or should be able to lose...according to the BMI chart i think my ideal healthy weight is 48-62kg. which I have just finally got to,…

Hi All, Im Munty, just turned 36 and married to Lisa. I have been on MFP since 5th June , which is when i had my turning point. Iv not looked back since then. I steadily put on weight over the years and didnt know how to deal with it. I was very depressed , but felt trapped in a cycle of eating crap as i was depressed. Im…

Hey, I was the same after the first couple fo days... it does get better. Today i start month 2 of insanity...so im expecting the hurt to start all over again! Lol If you need any advice friend me. Munty

Hey, not sure if you have sorted this alread but this link may help you. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/677905-spreadsheet-for-bmr-tdee-deficit-calc-macro-calc-hrm I have a polar ft7 and have used the info in that thread to help understand my workouts and calories a bit better. If you need help just ask Munty

You have some excellent advice on here, so hope thats helped you bite the bullet and decied to do it. I started insanity at 145lb with about 20lb of fat to lose..., today I will finish my 3rd week of insanity and although im still the same weight, I seem to have better definition and more muscle and look slimmmer. What you…

Hey, Id consider my self a beginner, half way through my second week of insanity and have never done any thing like this before. One of my knees has taken many knocks ov er the years and just prior to startin insanity i had pain in my knee going all the way up the side of my leg. Not sure what casued it but prior to…

I started doing insanity with my vibrams ( five finger shoes ) and the last few sessions switched to normal trainers. Some workouts felt better with vibrams, others with the the trainers. I noticed the sides of my calves hurt with some of the moves ( the side to side moves)...maybe i need cross trainers.... other than that…

Hi Alex, I woke up today, feeling dreadful. I didnt want to exercise or do anything, I didnt even feel like going to work. Maybe there IS something in the air. Dont give up...dont ever give, take a break if you have to but dont ever give up. If you have hit a stall and want some help then message me and I'll try and help…

Thats really inspiring, so thanks for sharing. There are many times when we feel like giving up, and its a testament to your dedication that you pushed throug and got great results! Well done mate.

Thanks for that detailed explanation. I totallyoverlooked the work out mins column in the spreadsheet. Also i was combining both methods ( oops) iv recalculated by figures as iv put on 1kg since and using the tdee tab it works out to a higher tdee. I was truggling with concept of eating back or not etc , but i thnk iv…

Hi Heybales. I wanted to thank you for all the work you have put into this. its very much appreciated. I was wondering you would be able to verify my numbers so i can make sure im doing the right thing. Im doing the insanity work out program and have been using a hrm. G: Male Age 35 C. weight 143.3 G weight ? 125? C body…

Just joined the group. not sure if you have your answer already, but thats sounds about right to me. Im on month 1 and seem to burn about 480-500 cals for a workout - then subtract rmr ( about 30-40 cals ) so that gives me 450-480 to enter into mfp.

Cool, ill give this a go....normlly i just have a hot soak and veg out after. Im sure iv read walking helps process the lactic acid build up in muscles after working out so makes sense.
