Good morning! I know everyone's body is different but I have absolutely found that when I reduce processed carbs and up my lean protein and natural carbs, I lose weight. I am an avid calorie tracker and I have realized that on my "lower carb" days (~100grams), I am lower on my calories as well. I think processed carbs just…

Definitely add resistance training! Everyone around me has been losing tons of weight from adding resistance training!

Everyone is different but in order for ME to eat 2300 calories and lose weight, I need to be burning around 600 calories during Insanity, which I did; so I ate 2100-2300 and lost weight. But I have had my resting metabolic rate measured and it's 1795 calories a day for me just to exist. Since you will NOT lose weight if…

WOW you look amazing!!! We actually have very similar body types! Everyone asks me how I can be 160 when I fit into a size 8 comfortably and I was always perplexed by it but now I look at you and realize you're way heavier than you look too! And we're about the same height, im almost 5'6". Awesome work!!

Most people are eating less than their BMR I'm learning. I had mine measured by breathing into a mask that measured my CO2 output and such and I found out my BMR is 1796 which is about 200 higher than what the link gave me. I noticed, when I put it my % body fat and 10% higher it still gave me the same BMR which I don't…

Weekends are a problem for me too! I hate to say this but the weekends I don't socialize, I do really well, the weekends I do... not so much... :( Maybe we can motivate each other to stay on track come fridays!

ahhhhhhhhh... beans are scientifically and botanically fruits because they come from fertilized flowers and contain seeds within the plants... Please don't mock people, at least they're eating healthy!

Stevia is decent but it's got a mild bitter aftertaste. At least it's natural! ... so they say! Who really knows? My rule is everything in moderation. If you want one cup of coffee with a teaspoon of sugar then you shouldn't deprive yourself. Now if you want a second, third, or fourth cup, I'd try switching to black tea…

I prepare most of my own meals which consist of meats, veggies, some fruits, and some carbs; average 2300 cals a day. :) Cheers!

Very cool! Thanks everyone!

Fantastic, I'll up it a notch or two :)

Thank you all so much! Im currently on a strict 1900 calorie diet consisting of LOTS of protein and veggies and a good amount of fruits, carbs, and fats. I can actually FEEL the difference from one day of eating crappy. Also when my diet is lacking protein throughout the day, I supplement with a whey isolate to make sure I…

The sprinter most definitely! :D thanks!

Okay awesome so I will up my weight training ;)

If you truly love someone, you wouldn't break up over something like this. You were not intentionally trying to hurt her. If she loves you she will come around, I promise. In the meantime, take care of yourself and your health. Take time to be the best you can be for yourself and no one else. True love wouldn't end because…

Amazing work! Proud of your girl!!

I've been low carb on and off for about 7 months now and let me tell you, when I am low carb, I feel so much better! Physically, I feel lighter, mentally I feel more energetic, and when I have carbs I feel like absolute crap because it slows me down so much. Being low carb will naturally up your fat and protein and that's…

Hey! I'm so sorry that happened to you! Cycling is awesome and I totally believe this could have happened from the seat. Was this a borrowed bike by any chance? I would wear a panty liner to protect yourself from any bacteria lurking on the seat. Good luck! PS: Cranberry supplements do a great job at curing UTIs. They have…

You have an adorable son! :)

I has never happened to either and I definitely don't mind. I hate it when I am running and cars honk, or the gross guys that grope you in bars and clubs. BLEKH Glad I can workout at the gym without being bothered :) You're beautiful so you probably just intimidate them! ha!

I agree with Kimmie! Check out this site: http://www.personalcreations.com/ Since their wedding is around the holidays, you can definitely get them a holiday themed gift. I just ordered my Fiancee and I personalized stockings from this site. :)

Are you hungry? If not, I would stop eating for the day. In my experience and everyone else I have talked to on MFP, eating back all of your workout calories only makes me/us maintain weight. Keep in mind that weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise. good luck! :)

I agree with H Factor, 15 minutes would be too long for me too. I like home videos and you get a better workout than just getting on the treadmill or elliptical because you have a virtual trainer on your screen pushing you. good luck! MSG me if you need ideas on good home exercise videos. :)

Try it, I LOVE IT! It's a calorie blaster for sure and you WILL be pouring by the end of the video but it's so worth it! It's honestly so much fun and I get in such a good mood after I finish it. Give it a go, you won't regret it :) Good luck!

I am a home DVD junkie since I never have time to drive to a gym. I like 30 Day Shred, Brazil Butt Lift is REALLY fun and a calorie blaster. Despite it's title, it works every part of your body. I also really like Jillian Michael's 6 Week 6 Pack but given what I know from trying them all, I'd say Brazil Butt Lift is the…

I started listening to Trance because it was the perfect BPM to run to. Now I just love electronic music! :)

Hey! I am 5'6", roughly 145 pounds ( I don't weight myself often) and I wear size 4-6 jeans depending on the store. Although I have been pretty bad with it recently, I try to workout 4-5 days a week doing various things like running, Zumba, 6 week 6 pack, etc. I find that when I eat 1600 calories a day, I can lose 1-1.5…

I'm not sure if it has to do with being heavier or just not being as fit. When I first started working out, I was BARELY every sweating and same with my best friend who is 5'9" and 130lb (She's a twig). Now that we work out almost every day, we're both pouring in sweat! I think it's more of your body becoming more…

Hi! I really wish MFP separated natural sugars fom added sugars. Personally, I don't count added sugars because it doesn't make sense to be penalized for having an apple or two, they have so much fiber, fill you up, and they're so good for you! If only I could control my sweet tooth now... hmmm.... any suggestions?

Its totally normal! The entire first week I had trouble laughing, getting up stairs, or even climbing out of bed. Don't worry, you wont be sore after the first few days, I promise. Take a warm shower before doing Insanity today. I know, it doesn't make sense to shower before working out but don't soap and shampoo, just…
