Well lowest measurement I ever got was a 27-inch waist back when I was in university and starving (due to poor financial organisation not weight loss goals ;) ), so I think I should be able to get down to 26. I also am from Asian descent and we usually have a smaller skeletal frame so I think 26 isn't too far a reach. :)…

Haha thanks katealbright. And homemade sorbets sound delicious. Think I could get the recipe off you? :D

Thanks guys :). I think I'll stick to the TDEE method. I'm not very confident in how MFP estimates calorie burn for each exercise so I'd much rather go with a method that takes into account my activity level as a whole! Really appreciate all the tips! Cannot wait to revamp my meal plans.

Thanks for your post katealbright. I'm envious.. sounds like you found the perfect balanced lifestyle! It got me thinking that perhaps I am over-thinking things a little bit. When I finish this round of Insanity I am planning to just use it every other day and incorporate weight training and finally get back to my salsa…

Thanks for your detailed post geekyjock! It's really helpful! Firstly I'll reset my goals on MFP and will make sure to eat back all my cals lost during exercise. I was wondering why MFP would set me at such a low cal intake. :P

I am doing the Insanity programme on repeat :). So it's about an hour a day and I go to zumba once or twice a week. MFP has put me at 1200 cals because of my relatively sedentary job but feel after reading several posts here that it is far too little? Although I joined MFP a while back I am still quite new to calorie…

I'm so glad you posted this. I've been wondering the same thing. MFP sets me at 1200 cals a day and I am 132 lbs and 5'5 and want to get down to 125 lbs but even if I stick to my cal count, not much appears to be changing. I do Insanity and am eating back my lost cals and other than that I eat clean and about 5 small meals…

I'd love an invite! Am a smoothie convert but have so far been unable to break from my current favourite (blueberry oat smoothie) and would love to try out different flavours! :) I am particularly looking for ones that don't have protein supplement added to it since my tummy reacts really badly to protein powder/protein…

I just started Month 2 of Insanity a few days ago and gone through calf pain as well around about the 3rd week. I really think the stretches in the DVDs are not enough and since starting Insanity I've had muscle pains from the hip flexors to the chest to the calfs. For now I think it's best to try and find better stretches…

Oh and my height is 5'5.

Think you are pretty much my twin sausageface24 :D. SW: 141 CW: 132 GW: 126 (but since muscle weights more than fat I'd be happier losing the extra 2 inches off my waist than the numbers on the scale) I've also been using MFP really intermittently and after getting into moving to Asia where all my friends and my boyfriend…

Thanks guys much appreciated! :smile: Will probably spend the next few weeks post-Insanity exploring those options.

So glad you posted this! Asked the same question yesterday I think but didn't get any responses :(. Anyway I know people rave about moving onto P90X or doing an Insanity/P90X hybrid, but it gets kind of lonely after a while of working out at home. Do you guys have any ideas of workouts or a combination of workouts that…
