I have heaps!! Some are: 1. To relax and enjoy life more instead of focusing on the negative stuff all the time 2. To learn to love being me :) 3. To keep on the health/fitness wagon and forget about trying to become skinny 4. To learn new skills (culinary especially) 5. To finish a novel I started Those are my main ones :D

Great job! I see a definite change :) Keep going!

It was pretty unoriginal but once some shop assistant straight out said: "You're fat." And there were people around so that made it worse

I can relate... I've been struggling too lately as well. It started several weeks ago when I started restricting my calories to 1200 and not letting myself have any of the things I like. Its backfired and now I feel hungry all the time and I've been binging on junk I never even used to eat. What I'm trying to do is slowly…

Yep you eat the 1200 PLUS what ever you burned from exercise. Otherwise you'd be under eating :) Cheers!

Add me! 19 here :)

Don't be so hard on yourself :) We ALL fall off the wagon sometimes. I really (and I mean REALLY) overdid it during the holiday and afterwards I had such a hard time getting back on track. I do Insanity and it just wasn't my week. I literally had almost no motivation to do those workouts this week, so I replaced a couple…

:love:

Don't worry about it! This hasn't happened since last year, that's a long time :) I've done that at least 3 times this year. Even if you gain, I promise you it will just be scale weight, and after a few days things will go back to normal. I say treat it as a treat day and get back on track tomorrow. Hang in there we all…

You are AMAZING. There is nothing else I can say.

I couldn't agree more! I have been on both sides of the fence and I must say, I like this one much better! :)

I've recently starting thinking this way and I feel GREAT! I no longer feel like crap after I've had a few extra hundred cals and actually, being more relaxed is helping me to make even better decisions about food :) Great post!

Me too! :)

My ideal body!

Thank you so much for this! I myself have had the most painfully slow journey. I jumped onto MFP about 8 months ago, with the goal of losing 20 lbs in 6 months. It's taken me 7.5 months just to lose 7.5 lbs! Sometimes I feel bad, especially when I see success stories about people who have lost about 3 times that amount of…

I'm sorry you're feeling unwell :/ I've been there, so trust me I know how you feel. How's your fiber intake? Are you getting in lots of fruits and veggies? I recommend apples, pears, pawpaw, bananas, and for veggies broccoli and corn are really high in fiber. Also you could add some extra things to your meals, like milled…

"Only drink water" Yeah no thanks lol

I think once it got up to 10000 calories over the course of two days, I didn't have the heart to log unfortunately. But on the first day I had a big breakfast, burger king for lunch, KFC for dinner, a huge frozen yogurt, an ice capp and chocolate danish from tim hortons, a bit of chocolate and a bag of candy from the candy…

Maybe repost this question on this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/914638-insanity There's a guy who supports and encourages people doing Insanity, as well as gives advice :)

Thank you :)

Congratulations on finishing Month One! I'm the same :) Recovery week starts today!

Lol it isn't. There are floor runs (i think that's cardio, not much of an expert haha). I've never done any kind of weight training program so it looks rough to me! Thanks for your advice :)

Thanks Proton! Much appreciated :)

Sorry if someone has already asked this, but how do you recommend incorporating Shaun T's upper body weight training routine while doing Insanity? I really want to do that during my second round of Insanity :) Thanks!

Add me! :)

Wow

A publishing company :) I love love love love love books

We don't care to see a picture of what you had for lunch and dinner ^THIS :noway:
