I loved it so much! Are you all doing the timed nutrition too??

Oh I am interested in this thread too! My fiancée is so great but he doesn't eat ANY vegetables yet he wants to get healthier! He's very good about working out with me if I ask him too. He goes with me to Body Pump and he'll run with me... But his main problem is nutrition. He is such a picky eater and doesn't eat any…

The best treatment for fibromyalgia is more activity!!

I advise you to use the TDEE calculator that other people have recommended. Just google scooby workshop. If you are 137 and overweight you are probably like me. I was 5'1 and 130-133 when I started. Using the calculator I labeled myself as moderately active (3-5 hrs a week) I ate about 1500-1600 cals/day and I've lost…

I used the couch to 5k app and I finished T25! Now I'll alternate between running days and random T25/p90x3 vids. Three days a week I'll do a double workout, either run and video or two vids! I love the results.

How do I cool down after the run? Does this just mean, walk a little more? I'm doing the couch to 5k and it gives 5 minutes for cool down. I just used that to walk home from the park. Also, I'm on week 7 of T25 and I'm going to do p90x3 next, can I do both? I love bring outside which is why I just started the running…

Just keep going. You are working out and you are burning calories. Prioritize form over number and eventually you'll build up to the higher intensity.

I loved Insanity and I did it two years ago and got amazing results! However it depends on your starting point. It is hard but as long as you have good knees, you'll build up the endurance. The only problem with Insanity is that I couldn't maintain that intense of a workout permanently. I am doing T25 now and I add in a…

I just started it yesterday! I just finished 21 day fix and started doubling up with t 25 on some days. Now I'm doing just T 25 and while in the alpha cycle I may add a few days of 21 day fix for the weights. I need a few friends who are doing it to to hold me accountable! Add me

I am doing the opposite of you. I did Insanity first and now I am starting zumba. With Insanity I lost 15 lbs! I loved it. I was 130 when I started Insanity so I didn't have a ton of weight to lose. Don't let that number fool you, I was out of shape. I was out of breath by just walking up a flight of stairs. In the…

I have always had a small frame. I started out in the lower 130s and I didn't like the way I felt or looked n the mirror. I am currently 115-116 and I like it. I think I am going to stay here, but try to tone and build more muscle. If I lose 5 more lbs of fat but gain muscle I'll be okay with that too:) I think at our…

I have a friend who was afraid of this too, she just did A LOT of strength training while losing the weight. If you lose the weight over time and not too dramatically or quickly you should be okay. You will always have some extra skin but it won't be as dramatic as you think. You are probably picturing the images of people…

Age: 31 Height: 5'1 3/4 Highest weight: probably 135 SW: 130 CW: 118 GW: 110 :)

I get the same thing!! People always say, oh you don't need to lose more weight. I keep trying to tell them, I'm not really trying to be skinnier I just want to have actual muscle now and become more toned. I'm not going to stop going to the gym or stop being mindful of what I'm eating just because I lost the weight. I…

Great job!!:):):)

Some people are just rude or they are so unhappy with themselves that they need to project it onto others. It's sad when those people claim to be your friends, but I tend to be the nicest to people like that. It bugs then even more!:) Great job using her negativity as inspiration:)

A week is too early to see weight loss, especially if you are strength training and doing cardio. You will probably gain weight (muscle buildup/breakdown/water retention) before you lose anyway. Make sure you are eating enough calories (not at too large of a deficit) and then keep going. You'll see a change soon. Good…

I'm 5'1 and my goal weight is 110-115!:) I'm starting to lift weights along with all of the cardio. Therefore, if my body looks good but the scale doesn't get down to 110 I'll be okay with that. I'm currently 121:)

Thanks:)

HA! How did you get the picture to show up?:) but thank you:)

I started at 130 (in jan) and I was definitely noticeably chunkier.W hen I weigh myself today I weigh about 120 +/- 1 lb but I still feel like I need to lose a min of 5 more lbs. I also need to tone. I am doing the insanity videos so I am getting stronger, increasing my endurance and building muscle with upper body…

Hey, I'm a fourth yr med student in NC. Feel free to add me! Fourth yr brings a different level of stress than the first three yrs. I am anxiously awaiting Match day. Remember almost EVERYONE who starts med school finishes med school!

I'm 5'2 and I started at 130 and I want to get down to 110. I understand the need to lose weight even though you are starting at a normal weight to begin with. I would listen to the post above and use the TDEE-500 method. I think if you are starting out already at a healthy weight your body won't want to get rid of the…

About a month ago I started eating the TDEE-500 cals, entered week 2 of insanity and started taking the green coffee bean extract. I have lost 7 lbs since then. Obviously there are many variables in my experiment, but I will say the green coffee bean extract hasn't hurt. I haven't had any side effects. I purchased the…

Hey! I am going to add you. I am 5'2 and I started at 130 but I want to get down to 110-115. So far I am at 122 since starting MFP and Insanity in January! I actually don't know what my goal number should be! Atf first I thought it was 110 but it seems like that may be too skinny.

It's working!!!!:) A few weeks ago I tried the increase in calories and it is working. My BMR=1324, and my TDEE=2065. I eat about 1565 a day. I have lost 6 additional pounds by doing this. I am also doing the insanity videos (currently repeating week 4) and taking the green coffee bean extract:). I am sure my weight loss…

Thanks for the advice! I am going to try to mix in some weight training in with the insanity videos. I like your hybrid idea.

With all of your exercising why would you use the TDEE calculator and then choose "sedentary"? You are probably moderate to very active. Why don't you choose one of those TDEE numbers then do the TDEE-20% or TDEE-500 cals?

Whenever this happened to me I would work out quickly to burn extra calories! Is that a good way to handle these situations?

Today is a rest day! Tomorrow I'm starting week 4 day 1 of Insanity? I'm definitely stronger and have more endurance but when will I start to see the weight loss on the scale? Also, should I do the weight lifting video on my day off or should I just take a real break?
