heybales - thanks for responding. I def. don't want to keep shooting my body in the metabolism! I haven't updated my ticker. I probably have more like 20-30 to lose. In that case could I stick with the 20 percent cut or should I still go with a 10 percent cut?

I'm doing Insanity 45 min/6 days a week and cycling 2.75 hours a week for a total of 7.25 hours a week. This gives me 1.83 I think and my BMR is 1501 so my TDEE would be 2746? And a 20 percent cut would be 2196 calories a day??? I've been eating 1800 and I haven't seen any progress. Any advise?

I had a tummy tuck about 2 1/2 years ago. It cost about 6500 in the US. Choosing the surgeon is the most important thing. I couldn't be happier with mine. I had lost 130 pounds and had quite a bit of skin. Not everyone needs it. I have seen people who lose that much and exercise hard and their skin does shrink. It's not an…

awesome

My BF and I work out together any chance we get. He motivates me to go harder and I motivate him. It's so much easier for him when he is there to go through it with me! Give it a try.

I have a Polar FT7 too and it's awesome. Everyone is different but I burn 400 - 500 per workout and about 200 on the recovery dvd.

thank you

Thanks everyone. I'm going to take your advise and go with the scooby calculation.

thanks for posting this. Very encouraging when you are struggling to keep the faith in this.

Anyone can add me. I'm on everyday and my diary is open. The more the merrier :)

love this

I'm ditching mine too. I bough a HRM instead for my workouts.

This !!!

I hate the static lunge with bicep curl.

Krispy Kreme doughnut but I'm fitting it in the cals. :)

I'm 60 days in Tapout and I love it.

I love what you said "renewed my vigour.. My faith in myself and my body" I think I need t read it everyday too. I'm probably going to weigh tomorrow and I am beyond nervous about what it will say. :sad:

Taking the plunge today and upping my calories to 1800. It's such a mental thing. I've been upping them for 3 weeks but after reading this thread I've decided to go right up to 20% of TDEE. Helps so much to read everyone's post and know my feelings about this are not crazy. I've low cal dieted for so long and have…

I went up to 1500 too. It's hard to go higher. I've only been at it 2 weeks. I haven't lost or gained in that time.

Sounds great. Thanks for sharing

I'm doing Tapout and also Cardio Jam sometimes

Great results. Im on day 2 today and your results are very encouraging!

Great job!
