im having the EXACT same problem! week 3 of insanity and ive gained 3 lbs! Extremely frustrating when the program isnt easy. i read that it could be water retention trying to replenish the muscles from the tiny fibers that tear when you are starting a new excersize program using muscles you are not used to using! i got…

i had HUGE success loosing weight doing zumba! its so much fun, and low impact! i was 212 lbs and with fibromyalgia, budlging discs and a shoulder injury from work it was the perfect amount of exercising without feeling like i was going to hurt myself! i then introduced more cardio and weights when i was more comfortable.…

ive wondered the same things myself, i have been on nights for 2 years and with a little extra effort ive done ok... its extremely hard to watch others eat all these snacks while your sipping on your water :) i had a much easier time when i was on 5 nights consecutively, now i do longer days and they are spread out so my…
