My Results! Lost 5lbs and 5 inches :)

Yea I think I'm going to have to up my calories. Maybe that also has something to do with it.

At my local GNC they have a BioMeasure machine. I first measured myself 3 weeks ago and that was the difference since then. But I am really hoping I didn't lose muscle, I'm actually toning up and seeing more muscle definition that was once there lol. Just had a baby 4 months ago so I'm trying to get back at it. I try…

Ok I get, thanks for the explanation! I am over 130 lb so good to know it's normal.

I go to the GNC and weigh myself there. I do try watch my calories mostly during the week and I am currently on Month 2 of Insanity. Hopefully it's just water and not muscle I'm losing!

Yea that's why I stopped paying attention to the scale, as long as I see a difference that is all that matters. I will try eating more calories, and I will see how that goes. Also mixing it up sounds good, I will try that as well...thank you!

I get what you mean, I have seen that myself! I love beachbody workouts I have TF and have done a few HIIT workouts when I'm short on time but haven't done the whole program. So far they have given me amazing results in little time. But I wanted to change it up a little and try that book.

Insanity is a 60 day DVD program with fitness trainer Shaun T doing Interval training workouts.

Thank you everyone for your advice, it really helps and motivates me to keep pushing even though I had a bad experience yesterday! I just felt that the reason he was talking bad about Insanity and HITT is because it works and I don't need his services or advice while doing it. Just received good news! There is a gym here…

You are right, I had that feeling when I was there! The only reason I went is because it was free but other than that he will not be someone I would go to in the future.

The reason he told me that he took me to the elliptical was because he wanted to show me about my target heart rate. I told him the reason I was there was to learn how to use the machines and if he can show me. He took me to the shoulder press machine and taught me about weights low, med, and High and how to do proper…

Thanks for the link, I agree that he is full of it lol!

Yea I think his goal was to convince me that whatever I was doing was wrong and to go with him with at least 3 sessions and he can get me to where I want to be. Thx for the advice :)

Yea I thought the same, but it seemed like he knew what he was talking about so I just let him talk lol! I didn't say much back because either way he prbly feels like he is in the right bc he's the personal trainer not me. I agree that elliptical was a waste of time and I told him that before I started Insanity I went to…

I have done the TF 20min workout and I burn around 175 cals. How many times did you check your HR? I check it a lot, and tend to wear the watch tight so it can read my HR better.

I'm on my second round of Insanity and I use Mio Classic Select Heart Rate Monitor Watch bought it on amazon in the $30s. I didn't want to spend to much on one and I like it, it does it's job. I manually log it in on MFP. These are my average calories burned for the first month. Keep in mind everyone is different. Hope it…

Awesome, thanks! I will try using my weights as well!

Ok Good! I actually found an app for the Interval timer instead of having to buy the bodyrock one. Do they post the workouts at night? Last night it was about 10:20ish when they posted the fit test. Just wondering so I can be a day behind to be able to do them during the day. Right now I'm on recovery week of Insanity and…

I've never done any bodyrock workouts and wanted to try it out so I did the Fit Test last night. Had a question though, do u know if we need any equipment on this challenge?

I'm on Recovery week as well! This is my 2nd Round and I am not losing weight either but I have learned not to pay attention to weight. Being that I didn't lose anything on the 1st Round, but I sure did lose inches and toned up! Good Luck!

Disregard my comment, just read you said FOODS not SHAKES....SORRY!

I drink Whey Protein Shake after I do Insanity. I buy the cheap brand from Walmart and it works great for me! You can make all kinds of different shakes but this one is my favorite! 1/2 a scoop of Six Star Muscle - Whey Protien Shake - French Vanilla I add 1/2 a cup of Blue Diamond Unsweetened almond breeze milk 1/2 banana…

I'm on week 2 of Insanity, this is my second round! Had awesome results on the 1st, I was really committed! I'm glad I completed week 1 but my eating habits aren't that great! I hope to change that this week, going to the grocery store tonight to buy a bunch of healthy food! I hope I can keep it up and stick to it like I…

I will be starting it in 3 weeks....can't wait =)

I just finished Insanity a week ago and started Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 on Monday. L1 on Monday was easy so the 2nd day I tried heavier weights and it seemed to make it a lil better. But I am not sore at all, hopefully the rest gets a lil more challenging! If not I will be starting Turbo Fire Soon!!!

Thank you...Good to know! I guess I will continue on with it, I used heavier weights yesterday to see if it made a difference and it did a little! I want to do Turbo Fire next, have you done that one yet? Looking forward to reading your review :)

Ok thanks, I'll try that!

I had a question though, can I skip to any level I want? I just thought L1 was easy for me. I was thinking of trying all levels this week to see which one I like best and go from there.

Last night was my first day and I plan do to it everyday except Sunday's =))
