Thanks guys. To answer a few questions. A trip to the emergency room at the age of 34 for a possible heart attack is what got me rethinking my life choices. I decided I wanted to live a longer eventful life not looking back and seeing all the time I spent in front of my computer or on the sofa. How I it did it. Lots of…

Make your self accountable, let everyone know your goals.

Pizza from Papa John's... Yummy..

The one that is calibrated.. The tape is a lot better though.

Just to throw in my 2 cents having been 300+ pounds 40+% body fat, I have severe sleep apnea, low testosterone, and was depressed. Was it a disability? At time I might have thought it was, I was around 300 pounds for over 10 year of my adult life. Now I am 205 and around 14% body fat. I am no longer depressed, I still have…

I agree, and I use to be a beach body coach until I found out it was all about sales. Not helping people just pushing their sub-par products.

http://www.ergo-log.com/lose-four-kg-in-a-couple-of-days-and-keep-it-off-a-year-later.html Read that then talk more about crash diets. Mostly people never drop any real weight on them or they go straight back to there old eating habits after they do them. Everyone blames the crash diet, not the person doing it, who doesn't…

Found this on the web: Gloves Kill Grip Strength – thicker bars are harder to grip. Gloves add inches to the bar which will kill your grip strength on pulling exercises like Deadlifts, Rows or Pullups. And if you can’t hold it, you can’t lift it. They don't weaken your grip they make it harder to grip the bar. Making it…

how does it effect your grip strength? I squeeze harder when I have glove on and weight don't hurt my hands. I have used multiple gloves over the year but Harbringer is my fav.

honestly save your money. I have done it and I really didn't drop anymore then I would have doing anything else and it made my knees hurt. A girl I was dating did T25 three times and didn't get any noticeable results either. You will burn around 150-250 calories doing it. Depending on how hard you push it. now if you diet…

Looks a lot like what Lyle McDonald wrote in his Rapid Fat Loss book a few years back.

I used this diet for just over two months, and had great results 27% body fat to 21% body fat (BodPod before and after). I didn't gain back anything but the water weight that I had lost from the diet being so low in carbs. Then again I have a lot of will power. Now I have switched over to a different diet and dropping 1…

It hurt my knee's more then insanity. Because of all the twisting and turning. I was doing in on carpet though so my feet were catching.

I guess when I post I should give more exact numbers. I went from 155.2 FFM at 230.6 lbs and 32.7% bodyfat on Nov 26 2012, to 167.6 LBM at 213.2 lbs and 21.4% bodyfat on 29 March 2013. The point was it is possible, and as far as the calories increase maybe once every other weekend I would increase my calories but for the…

It was confirm by the DEXA scan if you watched the show. They even showed the DEXA scan. Also my bodpod results show the same increase in lean body mass while dropping weight, this was after I had been lifting and dieting for 6 months before I had my first test. Even Lyle McDonald has explain that people with a higher body…

Thanks!

I can post some bodpod results that show my weigh loss and muscle gain over the last 4 months. Where I went from 234 pounds (33% body fat) to 213 pounds (21.4% body fat) while adding 13 pounds of lean body mass. While people say it's impossible I strongly disagree. I think it has to do with some other things where in obese…

I had the same issue as you did, I found the certain foods I was buying at the store was high in sodium like chicken. Some of the chicken/meat you get has water and sodium added to preserve the meat and add flavor. I started buying only my meat from a local butcher that doesn't add crap to the meat. After doing that my…

My reward will be a great shirtless summer out on my boat. Right now I am lighter then I have been in 11 years, so looking forward to meeting my goal..

I find a lower carb diet helps me drop weight. I tried the conventional 40/40/20 diet at the start of this year and I am still trying it. I count my calories every day. I have been at a 500-1000 cals under my maintenance cals plus I workout doing insanity 6 times a week, and the gym 2-3 times to lift weights. So far this…

I don't have a goal weight, I have a goal body fat % of 9%. When I get there I will eat the same things I do. Right now I will use the same 90/10 rule that I use now. Right right 90% of the time and allow for goodies once in a while.

I have avg'ed a 175 heart for a 50 min workout pushing it really hard the was 973 calories burned if I would have done an hour it would have been around 1179 (just under 20 calories a minute). I am 35 years old my so called max heart rate is 185. Working out up near your maximum heart rate doesn't hurt you at all unless…

It depends on how much you weigh, if I push it hard doing HIIT (avg heart rate of 170) I can burn 1000-1200 in an hour (I weigh 220 lbs). Most of your exercises were cardio and rowing is a great full body workout. Without knowing your weight and how hard you were pushing it, it's hard to say. What was your avg heart rate?…

Why do people eat back the calories from exercise? You workout to create a deficit, if you are trying to drop weight. I can understand eating them back and then eating a lot more if you are trying to bulk up. But if you are doing Insanity you are trying to drop weight at least that is why I am doing it. I never eat back my…

I never eat back what I burn and I am having great results. I don't know why people on this board always say that. The idea is create a deficit either through working out or eating less. The reason why don't go below 1200 calories a day is because its hard to get the nutrients your body requires. Working out does make you…

Here is my morning smoothie: It is yummy Cal: 510 Carbs 87 Fiber 16 Sugar 53 Protein 67 Fat 5 Stoneyfield Organic - Oikos Greek Yogurt Vanilla Nonfat, 0.5 Cup Optimum Nutrition - 100% Gold Standard Whey (Double Rich Chocolate), 2 rounded scoop (30.4g) Veg - Raw Carrot, 2 carrot Generic - Organic Spinach Leaves, 6 ounces…

I hardly ever see lady's lifting heavy or using free weights at the gym I go to either. Dumbbells are better for benching with then a straight bar IMHO.

I have tried to help vegetarians with getting enough protein while lifting weights and the avg person needs around 95g-100g of protein a day (Notice I said avg person not athlete or body builder). The only way I could get them up to the required protein was using powders. There are a number of them out there even soy…

I am about 18 days into the program, with doing heavy lifting 3 times a week after work. I thought the fit test was the hardest part. lol. But pure cardio is rough...

I am not worried at all about Christmas food, so I give it a 1. One or two days doesn't kill you, it's when you that one day turns int 1-2 then 3-4 then 7 days a week. You still have to enjoy your life, or what is the point of looking good and being healthy if you don't???
