I drink wine every night at dinner and log it but I always make sure I stay within my deficit and have not have a problem...I'd rather do an extra 30 mms of exercise than not enjoy my drink! I'll be your first drinking dieting friend ;-)

I've posted this before - forget the scales. i had BF percentage taken today after 6 weeks of Insanity and have gone down to 17% from 24%..! have lost 2 pants sizes and guess what, only lost about 5 lbs. I'm 118 lbs and am smaller than when I used to weigh 105 which was my goal. go figure..!

in my experience weight has nothing to do with clothes size (to a certain extent) Its mainly your frame- I wear UK size 6 or smaller (US00) and I am not skinny. I'm 5'2 and weigh 119 lbs and have always been small. My mum used to weigh 105 and wear UK size 10 or 12..

great results, well done!

feel free to add me. You can still look at my diary, I never eat junk food and haven't for years..there might be the odd treat but very few and far between! :-)

Everyone can do it, you just have to take a break when you need to. If you have heart problems I suggest you speak to your doctor first and also get a HRM. I'm on day 53, I only lost 5 lbs but I'm down 2 pants sizes and abs are starting to show. I couldn't keep up at first then at the end of month one I was OK - THEN Month…

How do you do that and what are the calories/nutritional values?

I'm nearly done with Insanity, I'm on week 3 of month 2. First month I put on 6/7 lbs BUT I lost inches. Then by the middle of week 1 of month 2 those pounds dropped and I lost another one and now I'm losing about 1 lbs a week steadily. I honestly would not worry about scales, I've gone down 2 sizes and I am smaller than…

honestly do not worry about weight gain. I gained 6/7 lbs on month one now I'm down 5 but the inches loss is much more..you will gain weight forget about scales pls..it's your muscles retaining fluids and other stuff going on. Persevere, the results are worth it and don't overdo on exercise

I hit that week 6 and found month 2 too hard. I took 2 days off, had lots of nice food and replenished my body. I was back on form. I also took extra day this week. Take a break if you feel you need it as it's your body telling you. I still got results!

Insanity and kettlebell exercises..

i'm 5'1 and used to have about 1200 but recently moved to about 1400/1500. I exercise every day and I usually burn between 2000/2200 a day on average. When I upped my calories I started losing weight..

I put on 6 lbs when I started insanity..! But I'm now on week 6 and have lost a total of 4 and way more inches. The inches loss is much greater than the weight. Stick with it. Month 2 is v hard, i had to take a couple pf days off as I was getting burnt out and started using recovery formula.

Ive lost a lot around my tummy doing insanity but I find it the hardest weight to lose and yes you will get some lose skin unfortunately...you need to do a lot of cardio and abs exercises

the only way to lose it is to lose everywhere do high intensity cardio. i'm on week 6 of Insanity and my belly has gone down a lot. Then start adding some abs exercises although they will just tone your muscles but you need to lose the fat first

hi, I have completed 5 weeks of insanity (starting month 2 today..terrified!) I have only lost about albs but lost a HUGE amount of inches, nearly 2 panes sizes. I have not got bulky, I was worried as I tend to build muscle quite easily. I look much more toned and my fitness and stamina have improved tremendously I have…

hi, I am currently on day 4 of recovery week and have done first month without missing any workouts. They can be extremely hard but I definitely think it's worth the money. i have lost lots of inches and dropped a size. I have only lost about 2.5/3lbs but a lot of inches around my waist, thighs and bottom, I have also…

if you upped your exercise and your muscle are sore fluids will build up around them to help repair them. I put on albs just after starting a very intense exercise activity AND I always gain 2-4 lbs just before TOM so don't worry!!

hi, I know exactly what you mean! Im italian too and used to have wine with dinner..so I now use smaller glasses so I can have two glasses. Also I include it in my calories so it's not too bad. just do an extra 20 mms exercise! ;-)

hi there, I'm in your same boat. I've been around 116 for a long time then went up to 123 and want to go down again. i started 30 day shred then insanity and I'm finally starting to see the results. only lost albs but lost inches and I don't think your goal is too low. Im same height as you and aiming for around 115…

mmmm i'd love to have an answer to this too please if anyone can help - Got a fitbit this morning and nothing seems to be syncing..thanks

hi Emma, I just joined MFP and was looking at doing the fasting. I also started insanity (I'm on day 18). MFP tells me to eat 1200 calories and eat calories back. On Insanity I get around 1470. When I add both up it shows that I should be either eating calories back (I only burn between 15 to 200 calories p/workout at the…

hi there, i know what you feel like! nearly 43 and just joined. Also started Insanity, it's never too late!
