Thank you! :) I started at just a bit under 200 pounds and now I am hovering around 178-179 pounds. I'm a pretty stocky little hourglass figure, not sure about yourself! but yah the weight has come off from top to bottom evenly.

Will do :D !

Been lifting as heavy as a can for the last two months, which did slow my weight loss (trading out fat for muscle obviously). But I had to cut down to 30 minutes for the last week and half kus I'm working night shift now. Thank you so much...honestly I never even considered trying a different formula...all I know is that…

yes I have considered dropping it more than just 100 per day, and I heard 40/30/30 is good for most people...my only issue when I tried to do 40/30/30 once is that it was just way too much protein, and I got the "protein gas" if you know what I'm talking about :|

oh, I've honestly never even heard of that. So I should try to eat the same amount everyday despite if I burn more on more days? I use a HRM to calculate burns, so I've been eating more in accordance with what I burn (hence that 500 calories flucuation). I checked a TDEE website and it's suggesting 2300...but If I want to…

yes, the 5km runs twice a week I just added in about 2 weeks ago (training for 10k) and I'm using insanity to keep my cardio for days when I can't run outside, kus the treadmill just doesn't cut it. yah I read something like that too just now as I was browsing the net. 230g I think is way too much for the amount of time I…

No LOL...I love food too much to do that to myself, I should probably open my diary to public, not just friends, so you could see I am eating about 1800-2300 per day (2300 approx on days when I do cardio & weights)...but I usually just leave out 100 calories at the end of the day in case I under-estimated some food on MFP
-
ok so if I'm plateauing then it has nothing to do with my carb intake? kus I'm under my daily caloric goal by a 100 (unless it is a rest day then I eat all 1200 I'm given)

Take it from me, a former yo-yo dieter who was tipping the scales at 200lbs, 5'3" then being at 170 a couple times the past 4 years. Doing it the right way will be the way the weight will stay off, and your body will be healthy enough with a great metabolism to sustain a well-deserved cheat meal once a week. South Beach…

just finished my first round yesterday. unfortunately I can't find a picture I took of myself at the beginning of month 1!! but I can tell you it was not anywhere near as much of a difference as I saw in Month 2 (because I really hunkered down on the diet) These three pictures are the beginning, middle, and end of Month 2.…

I completely believe you can attain this if you start NOW I just finished month 2 of the INSANITY program yesterday, and this is my progress in just 4.5 weeks (I took an extra couple days off) I stuck to MyFitnessPal and continued working out, as well as added weights in at night (weights were what actually made the scale…
-
:) it was a combination. I was doing running intervals (pretty slow just starting out at 4.5 and worked up to 5.8) on the treadmill for anywhere between 20-30 minutes 3 days a week, and inbetween every other day I would hop on the elliptical for 10 and go hard, then did wide squats and narrow squats. 3 sets, 8-10 reps, and…

I feel your pain! when I started weight lifting back in January, I put on 4 and half pounds over the course of a week, and was very discouraged! and I thought I looked bigger (I was heavy lifting in squats). It was a good week and a half to two weeks before I even saw the scale start to depart from that number, and I was…

Just nearing the end of my first week of month 2 of insanity!! (Day 40 today) No before and after pictures yet, I did take before and after for month 1, but I only really buckled down on my diet half the time. One week into Month 2 I am already seeing differences...so in three weeks I'll post my end result pictures. After…

Ok I know I'm throwing my two-cents in here just like everyone else... I'm on my Day 4 of Month 2 (holy mother of God I never thought I would get this far), and the program is phenomenal (cardio-wise). As far as the caloric burn of the workouts depends ENTIRELY ON YOU!!!! Height, current weight, current cardio condition,…

5'3" and starting out at 196 lbs....hoping to make it down to 150. Down 10 since January, but my wedding and honeymoon sort of intervened and I haven't really lost more. Add me :)
