  • Most the time those large numbers are due to a difference in water weight. Basically a 500 calorie deficit a day is what's required to lose 1 lb. in a week. If your BMR is 1280 then that is your minimum recommended. Add your exercise calories and your minimum should go up to equal that. To truly be healthy you should eat…
  • Been here for a few months and always willing to help, if you want look me up as SWREZn8 as a coach on beachbody
  • I've finished 1 round of Insanity and now just 2 weeks shy of finishing a P90x/Insanity 90 day Hybrid. I am starting a challenge/accountability group to begin another round of Insanity or P90x on beginning November 4th if interested. I've lost a total of 5" off my waist this past year, 3" as a direct result of Insanity.…

  • You can eat those things occasionally without sabotage. You have to really learn to control the portions. If you are on a 3500 calorie deficet per week then can safely eat over a couple days wiithout gaining that week as long as you don't go over that deficet. You should make sure you don't completely over do the fats…
  • you definitely need to eat more, just make sure you get plenty of protein. Plan on the 1200 on days you don't workout and replenish the calories burned on workout days. You will be taking it off slowly but it will stay off and you will build muscle which helps naturally burns calories. You will see plateaus along the way…
  • I wake up at 3:30am Mon-Thur. mornings to get 1 hr to 1hr 20min workout before work, a little later the other 3 days. Was very tough the first week or so, but I realized it was more mental than anything. Once you get past it you will be good and not want to miss.
  • I take in most of the workout calories I burn. You need to fuel the workouts. Did complete Insanity workout and lost about 7lbs. but I have lost many inches. Currently doing P90x and Insanity Hybrid. 4 days P90 strength and ab ripper training. and 3 days Insanity for better cardio. Have now lost 10lbs. Lost 2" off waist in…
  • Also, I dropped 32 points on Cholesterol in the first 50 days of Insanity. That was my primary goal.
  • I did the entire 63 days and grew to love it. It was very difficult the first couple of weeks just motivating myself to get up and do it at 4am before work. I actually gained a couple lbs. the first 2-3 weeks and the started to lose about week 5 through 9. I had already lost 28 lbs. over a year of eating better. It got me…
  • I found this web site with a list for many different workouts including Insanity http://www.everydayhealth.com/food-fitness/exercise-activity/calories-burned-conditioning-exercises The Heart Rate monitor method will work also.
  • Are you logging calories burned for your workouts? If not and you are not eating enough to support the workout you will be hungry. I usually get 400 - 1000 extra daily with the workouts I do. I have found that I eat 4-6 times a day to keep my sugar levels constant. It will help you feel full most the time. Don't forgot…
  • I absolutely eat back the exercise calories. If not your deficit will be too much. By eating your 1200 you are already at a deficit, if you continue down the path you won't get enough nourishment to continue to support your workouts. One exception is if you already setup you normal daily activity level to include those…
  • My calories are set at 1200 for a day of regular work and no workouts. When I workout(6 days a week for last 4 months) I add the estimated burned calories. Started at 196lbs and now weigh 156lbs. I gained a couple lbs the first 3 weeks working out but then starting dropping at around the 5th week.
  • everything always, keeps you honest with yourself and you would be suprised the amounts some little things have.
  • I've used both Endomondo and iRunFree. Both do well. Endomondo gives you tracking of various exercises if you need more than running.
  • Don't give up. The first 2 - 3 weeks are the weeks are the most crucial and easiest to give up on. You need to get through them even it it means just aking those breathers in between to get through them. You will be happy when you reach week 5 and do Core Cardio & Balance. It will feel like a little rest. Perservere…
  • I noticed the same thing just looking at your past few days. Your carbs are way up and protein is low. You need to get them closer to even. It's not easy but it's definitely a need.
  • Are you eating enough? For example if your intake is 1300cals and you get say 1 hour of dance (minus 500-700 cals) your daily is only 600-800 cals. Your metabolism would slow down and your body would convert even good things to fat to fight off starvation. I was on 1300 cals for about 9 months without exercise and lost…
  • Hey, Just asking for help is a good step. I was in poor shape lat year and I lost approx 28 lbs over the next 9 months using diet monitoring. The last 3 months I've stared exercising along with it and now taken off another 7 with about 6 more to go. You gotta just be committed and don't let things become excuses. The long…
  • Red and Linkin Park are my running buddies.
