  • Max Interval Sports Training for me today. 2nd time doing this one as a replacement for Core Cardio & Balance during Month 2. Definitely a good workout that really gets your heart rate up and allows you to challenge yourself by pushing harder. Final week of Insanity starts next!
  • Nice work! Congrats! GO HOOSIERS!
  • My vote's for the juicers. My juices typically contain: 1 apple, 1 cucumber, 70g of kale, 70g of spinach, 5-10g of parsley or cilantro, 5g of ginger root, 1-3 celery and 1-3 carrots. From a juicer - this concoction is delicious and easy to drink. In a blender......it's a pulpy, fibrous slop that is not easy to choke down.…
  • Fact! You'll definitely notice more toning than weight loss at first!
  • Great write-up and results! Congrats!
  • Completed the final Max Recovery workout of this round of Insanity today! (Month 2, Week 3). Only 8 more workouts to go...and then I'm thinking of doing a Recovery Week again after Month 2 to prepare me for either Insanity Asylum or Tapout XT. I've learned to both love and appreciate the Recovery Week. The first time I…
  • I enter all Insanity exercises as Cardio workouts on MFP.
  • Pretty sure I plan on being naked a lot more......
  • Wow......that's.....incredible! Have to admit, it made me get a bit misty eyed.
  • Wow, great results! Congrats!
  • Get a heart rate monitor, wear it while doing the Insanity workouts, then use a "calories burned by heart rate" calculator (search for it on the web) and enter your exercise by creating a new exercise in the "My Exercises" menu. This is the most accurate way to record your Insanity workout on MFP. All other methods are…
  • I'm also doing Insanity in the mornings before I eat anything. What works for me - and also helps me get out of bed in the morning to workout - is placing a 5-Hour Energy on my alarm every night before I go to bed. That way, when my alarm goes off in the morning, I shut it off and drink the 5-Hour Energy. This has 2…
  • Awesome results! You can really see the progress in your legs and arms! I know for me, I noticed the progress in my legs first and only after they really firmed up did I start seeing changes in my stomach (but I am a guy....). Congrats on your progress! Keep it up!
  • Great advice Dr_Flo! Today I began Week 3 of Month 2 of Insanity. So far, I'm 14.5 lbs down, can fit into pants/shirts I haven't worn in years and have noticed the best results in my legs and butt. Dr_Flo's advice above is spot-on. Just keep pressing play and do what you can to get through the workout - you will get better…
  • Yes, eat them back. Your body needs the fuel to keep you going and keep you strong for your workouts. How you've explained how you have your MFP setup, you'll still be eating at a calorie deficit even if you eat back all your calories - which should lead to weight loss. Your diary is not open so I can't see how much you're…
  • For me it's always my legs and butt first. Once they firm up then my face starts to show it. Then, finally, I start seeing progress in my gut.
  • I just finished week 2 of month 2 of Insanity and I am not following the Insanity nutrition plan. I do, however, follow MFP's diet recommendations (as well as possible) and log all of my Insanity exercises on MFP. I always eat back my workout calories. I also noticed that the Insanity recommended calorie intake is…
  • Agreed. The food is incredibly delicious and there are clearly worse options out there. I'm thinking I just need to keep it in moderation like pretty much everything else. My favorite thing about their food is that even though you feel full, it is a fresh-full feeling, not the rock-in-my-stomach full feeling you get with…
  • Solid work dude! Congrats!
  • Best. Post. Ever.
  • Just wanted to take the time to say Thank You for your future service to our country. Keep at it and you will reach your goal!
  • I hope this does not come across as rude, just trying to give some constructive criticism: Are you eating fast food because it's convenient or because you can't stop yourself from eating fast foods? I understand the "Well, it's the closest/cheapest (convenient) option, so I'll just grab something there" but I don't…
  • You look great! Congrats!
  • Definitely noticeable - especially in your face/neck and upper arms. Keep at it! One thing I've noticed is the weight loss/visual results never happen where you want them to happen at first. However, you've dropped 22 lbs! No question your pics show progress - but probably not where your mind WANTS to see progress. I (and…
  • Well, at least we know from the responses who's into BDSM..... ;)
  • Yep - I used to eat Subway daily but then when I really started looking at the nutritional value I noticed that EVERY sandwich there - yes, even the 6" subs - have TONS of sodium. I haven't been back to Subway since....
  • When I did P90X years ago, I didn't notice much change on my upper half after the 1st month either. However, my legs and *kitten* definitely made a good amount of progress. It wasn't until halfway through Month 2 that my face/gut/chest really started showing results. You definitely can see some results in your pics. Have…
  • Definitely smash
  • I picked up a juicer 2 months ago and, honestly, I could not imagine starting my day without my morning juice anymore. I have a juice for breakfast and then eat real food for lunch and dinner. My daily juice is more about consuming large quantities of vegetables (and some fruits) that I would otherwise not eat instead of a…
  • I'm currently in the 2nd week of month 2 and have dropped 13 lbs so far. What I've noticed is drastic changes in my thighs and *kitten* more so than anywhere else. My lower half is significantly leaner and my thigh muscles have really firmed up. I've taken pics every 2 weeks but since they're from the waist up, I don't…
