I'm 5"3 152 witha resting HR less than 60. I noticed that my intensity rate and how hard I'm pushing don't seem to change regardless of if I'm doing a short HIIT workout or longer "EZ" workout. I just work that hard for longer onthe EZ workouts! Sounds like your exertion level is about the same as well....

Hi! I sent a friend request-- the more support the better!! Good luck and congrats-- cute baby!!

I did the tool and it said my resting BMR is 1358, plus 500 for BF would give me 1858. This would explain why it took me almost a month to lose 1.5 pounds-- I was only about 150 calories under BMR so it would take 23 days to lose one pound!

I recently got a NB heart monitor (which I love by the way!). I've noticed that my calorie burn from the HR monitor is about 10% less than what MFP estimates for me. However, I have a low resting heart rate (less than 60 bpm, and sometimes less than 50!!), so I think that's why my calorie burn is a bit lower than the…

I'm starting with some knee pain (about 6 workouts in); was thinking about purchasing a knee brace. It's only my left knee; probably not pivoting correctly. I'm going to try to focus on my form the next couple workouts and see if that helps. I've also started with upper back pain (near my should blades, but definitely not…

That's my next purchase; but since I literally just opened the TF box a week ago it's going to be a while. I was very happy to see a hybrid program with the TF materials and plan to purchase the Xtreme workout when I'm nearing the end of TF.

A tip I learned when doing Turbo Jam was to always make sure to pick up my feet slightly when pivoting when I'm doing this workout on carpet. The problem for me was that my knees were pivoting without my toes moving- hence knee pain.

I could have written this post myself! I was lucky and only gained 25 pounds with my daughter (born 4/1/12); and lost 15 within two weeks. I started light exercise and calorie counting on 5/1, then started exercising with Insanity, Turbo Fire and walking about 2 weeks ago. I feel stronger, but my clothes are actually…

Hi quiana- I just ordered Turbo Fire and am super excited to get it. I have Turbo Jam (probably all that she's made) and was torn between Chalean Extreme and Turbo Fire, but since I have baby weight to lose I went for the bigger calorie burn. Good luck to us both! Barb

So glad I saw this post. I am 6 weeks post partum and was getting ready to join WW in addition to tracking with MFP. I joined MFP quite a while ago and was using it regularly fall 2010 into spring 2011. When I got pregnant last summer, I stopped tracking all together and have just rejoined. This is my first time using the…

I am having the same problem!. I started counting calories and doing light exercise last week then started Insanity and have done two modified days. I noticed yesterday that my baby wasnt nursing as long and I didnt feel as full. I weighed myself this morning and have gained three pounds!. I set my calorie intake to 1650…
