I'm having similar issue with Insanity...and all my life I've never been able to do those military style push ups from the toes...I've always to modifiy it to me knees, I have very little upper body strength. God I'm wrecked, just got through the first workout.

Funny you should mention it...I am a Palak Paneer addict!!

And thank you ndj1979 for all your help! Appreciate it.

Thanks I understood you. Using this method have you found it to work? I can't understand why I've not lost a pound when I've been eating my 1200 cals - this is then a 1000 calorie deficit to my TDEE (supposing its 2221)

Thank you :)

On the calculator it asks to enter current weight in pounds AND goal weight in pounds...are you saying I should put the same figure in both entries? Cos that seems a bit strange to me?

Yeah the two are almost the same for me too, just drastically low under katchmcardle

Thank you that was very helpful

Your sarcasm is wasted on me, sorry

I wish you were right but the approx same values came out on the fat2fit site and this one:http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ Im not entering wrong values...

I got it tested with some machine by a bootcamp instructor 2 years ago when I was 2 stone lighter...at that point (not using a calculator but an electronic machine) it came in at 47%, exclusing organs, so I sincerely doubt its wrong.

I know but if I should be following KatchMcArdle then I am going to pile on the pounds using Harris Benedict, its almost 1000 calories difference each day....even if I averaged it out and split the difference, I would still put on weight using Harris Benedict. Do you see why I'm confused? And hesitant about eating an extra…

This is what started me down this confused path.... I used the website he recommended so here is what it told me (it calculated my bf% to be 67.3) I've pasted it in here...it says KatchMcArdle is more accurate but then goes on to tell me to eat between 1800 cals + (as I exercise lightly/moderately 3+ times each week Ok…

I did read it ! You need the TDEE!!!

The Scoobyworkshop claims to use the Harris Benedict formula The other three all came from this website (http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/) , I enter the data once and it gives all three, so I didn't enter wrong data ?? Katch McArdle is recommended if you know your body fat % which I do, so I put that in, but its the…

There is an almost 1000 calorie difference between my TDEE comparing the KatchMcArdle forumla to the Harris Benedict formula. That's a huge variance. I know my BF% so if I put that in it auto chooses the KatchMcArdle, which gives me a TDEE of 1493 and when I play with the calculators on page 2, then to lose a pound a week,…

Wow!!!! I'm so jealous!!! You look amazing!!! Happy Birthday :) So how did you do it, c'mon spill....

Meath here ! <3 We gotta collectively get Irish stuff in the database!

This is a bad habit of mine too, I find though on thinking about it, that all I really want is a flavour hit and not bothered about the quantity ( so usually I just finish the whole lot of whatever it is ) I think if you have some calories reserved, savour what you're eating by eating it realllllly slowly, that way you'll…

That's super...you have started a lot already...I need to get my *kitten* in gear to catch up!!

mmmm frozen chocolate, I never thought of that.... I've tried having low calorie hot chocolate drink instead, but usually find it too watery to satisfy. My husband is a chocaholic so theres always loads of it in my house...how would popping one choccie before bed as a reward system do? would 20g of chocolate a day be bad??…

I'm ready to feel the burn and excited to think what I'll wear when its done!! Have you set yourself a small goal for the next while? What exercise do you think you might do? I'm terrified of this Insanity program, but I believe it will kickstart me to fitness and further weightloss...Giving up is NOT an option!!

I've 60lbs to lose and would love a friend to help keep each other going- I just started a thread here myself "almost 30...." so have a read so u can see my background. I'm the voice of sensibility to everyone but myself, so I need from someone! And I need accountability and will help you stay accountable. We can do…

I stick to the 'girly style' with the knees because my Phys Ed teacher once told me that new research had shown that the military style ones can damage a woman's womb. Thanks very much but I want my womb working perfectly!
