I'm sorry for your loss :flowerforyou:

Your daily target per se has nothing to do with your weight loss goal per week... for that, you have to look at the calorie deficit. Go to Home > Goals and look up "Daily calorie deficit." If it's 500 cal and you stick to the plan you'll lose 1lb/week, with a 750 deficit you'll lose 1.5 lb/week, etc.

If you set MFP to a goal of losing 1lb/wk, it already subtracts 500 calories a day. So you just need to worry about hitting the target, not target minus 500.

I did that once. Best. Feeling. Ever.

Don't beat yourself up. If you aim to have perfect days every single day, you're bound to be disappointed sooner or later. Instead, look at your calorie consumption over a longer timeframe, e.g. a week. Make sure you create a deficit of 3500 cals a week (if you want to lose 1lb/week) and you'll be fine.

Weigh yourself as often as you'd like, but only compare figures from 7-10 days before and understand that fluctuations are natural..

Insanity is mostly cardio and will mainly help you lose weight and gain endurance/strength. From what I've gathered, P90X is a more complete workout: the cardio is not as intense as Insanity, but the program will help you build muscle faster than Insanity. So as a rule of thumb, pick Insanity if you want a lean body like…

Well, there's your problem... you need to stop identifying yourself as that person. Humans have an innate urge to behave in a way that is consistent with their own identities. If your identity is of someone eating unhealthy food, it will be excruciatingly hard to change your habits just by trying to resist temptation. Work…

Read this to understand why you're gaining weight, which is normal and to be expected.

Hey Shannon! I'm on day 9. I found day 1 to be hard too, but don't worry -- just go at your own pace, give 100% but focus on form before speed. It may look intimidating, but you can definitely do it. Day 4 (for every week) is much lighter and gives you one more chance to recuperate, besides the weekly day off. After a week…

"Vagina" is in bold too, I don't know what's up with that! :D It's on the right side. I'm pretty sure it's a side stitch now.

I didn't really do controlled breathing back when I did soccer. I read that bad posture might be an issue, and I know that I did have bad running posture back then. With Insanity, the workout are so intense (and rushed) that, when I try to do as many reps as possible in the time that I have, I sacrifice posture a bit. That…

Thank you. I read that strenghtening the core is one of the way of preventing that, and Insanity is all about the core, so that's good. I'll try some of the other things as well. I just don't want it to interrupt my workouts, especially when I'm doing interval training.

Insanity is mostly cardio and it's very effective to lose weight. P90x is more of a complete body workout, you may not lose weight as fast with it but it's better to tone or bulk up. (You can reach your goals with either program, but losing weight is significantly easier with Insanity and toning is significantly easier…

That's great! What I got out of that 3-minute talk is not to avoid telling people my goals, but to phrase them in a way that reminds me (and them) that I still have work to do to achieve them. My guess is your aunt became a great weight loss buddy because you both put more emphasis on the work ahead than on what you had…

I'm doing it too (month 1, day 7) and loving it! Feel free to add me!
