Thanks...but in general, the estimates overestimated the calories burnt right?

Thanks. I did that today actually. i had to run to the fridge to fill up my water bottle (paused of course). It still feels like a break...ha ha. Pouring the water in the bottle is a break. I noticed breaks weren't as big of an issue today. It just comes with time I guess. Today was day 6 for me. I hate hate hate "Level 1…

Yeah...Pure Cardio was fun! (Did for first time) I sort of cheated myself a little and still feel guilty. He kept encouraging us to take a break if we need to so I took some breaks thinking I would push my hardest towards the end. It seemed like there was plenty of time left BUT...I had forgotten about cool down. That's…

Thanks for the advice Brad. I just do better putting in something in MFP...even if it doesn't balance. When i went a few days without it (before insanity) I was a mess...lol...cheating like crazy. You said it's good for food but not for exercise but I like it for both... It was working for me before insanity...I was…

Now that you have the heart monitor, how far off were the estimates?(ballpark) Did they overestimate or underestimate? Thanks

Thanks a bunch too2taf!

To be fair, he does say that it is important to recover since it is interval training and maybe since I'm new, that 30 seconds just isn't enough for me. I would really appreciate just even 15 more seconds. I know it sounds strange but 15 seconds would be HUGE. Maybe i should pause and enjoy 15 more seconds for the first 2…

I'm glad to hear you like Pure Cardio. I do that for the first time tomorrow! I had thought i would continue to use the treadmill and perhaps do some lifting but i don't feel like at this point. I don't want to burn myself out so that one day I'm too tired to do insanity and have to skip. Maybe week 2 or 3 I'll consider…

Yeah...I've wondered this. I feel cheated but I use Aerobics high impact for most days but used Aerobics general for the Cardio Recovery. Maybe someone should create one (after research).

Great! I've heard most of the weight loss comes off in the second month. Is this true or have you seen good weight loss results in the first 33 days?

Good luck. It's fun and exciting. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

I just started this week. Today was day 4! I really enjoy it. I sweat like i was in a pool! Forget workout towel...need a bath towel! I think you'll have a blast. There are some muscles I'm not used to using so I will get stronger and more endurance with time. Good news is Thursday is a relaxing day (only 33 min and no…

LOL...While I have apologized and I'm trying to remove my foot from my mouth, I wanted you to know i found this funny. LOL

I agree. I'm sorry. I was trying to be funny but failed. It happens. Much support and thanks for sharing your story!

I hear ya. I'll try to be a bit more sensitive. i do think mfp should be a supportive place for all....so if that means more PC, then it's worth it. Thanks for understanding.

I didn't mean to offend anyone. Via PM, somebody showed me an angle interpretation of offense. My sincere apologies. Cheers

Ha ha...cool. But I just come on here for fun to relax. I hope you recognize I can give a filtered sensitive PC answer but I was hoping people would be cool and just relax and have fun. There is enough PC in the real world. Feel free to bust my chops but I hope you don't get too offended because I'm just having fun here.

LOL...now some good humor.

Too uptight = no fun...chill. I was hoping you were having a good sense of humor and not a stick. LOL

Ha ha...Obnoxious I am then. I'm tired of being PC all the time so let me have my fun. My point is I saw a lot of women saying "unfortunately sag"...so I was saying sag can be cool. If you took it the wrong way, sorry. Ultimately it comes down to what they and their mates like...but i was putting out a word that there is…

Ha ha...yeah...I thought about it after I hit post. I know the bigger the more likely to sag. I actually think bigger (D+) with some sag is still cool. You know what I mean. There gets to a point where it just turns gross...like beyond DDD. So I'm going to say some sag with DDD or less is cool but sag with more is…

I did notice on the Insanity commercial all the women lost 2 cup sizes. LOL Like I said before, some could have stopped after one month and kept a cup size and skipped the 6 pack.

To cheer you ladies up, some guys like a little sag (me). It shows they are real. LOL I think for D and up, sag is not good but for C and smaller, a little sag is great. I prefer Bs that move around to the perky non movable Bs.(the ones you swar are really As...no cleavage or anything! LOL Here are 2 checks -They can move…

Metacognition. You are pretty. I don't think you really want to be 95 lbs do you? You may be taking it too far. What's your height and percent body fat? You look great. Stop where you are.

Change up your routine. Try something like "Insanity" to get you excited again. There are online deals for less than $50.

Great job! You'll be even more excited to post 6 month pics. I like making fun of my starting self. Ha ha.

Add a "whey isolate" (or possibly whey protein if you can handle the lactose). This would be nice after your workouts, help you rev up your metabolism and also make sure you are getting all the protein you need. If you don't get enough protein (especially the essential amino acids), your body will break down your muscles.

I think you look great at 141. That's already a BMI of 21.4. You should get a Body fat analysis done to make sure 130 would be a healthy weight for you (19.8 BMI). It may be too low and you might end up just losing it from your breasts anyway. If you feel you have just a little pocket of belly fat that is stubborn (can't…

Awesome. Congrats. I wasn't sure whether you were going to lose your chest like on those Insanity commercials but you got to keep yours. LOL As I was going down I said "they will disappear". At the end, I was like "good for her!" LOL

Video ...ha ha. You can find it online for $5-$8. It's worth a try. Oh. I'm a guy so when I recommended starting at the hardest level, that was right for me...plus I wanted fast results). If you need to start with a weaker coil, go for it. I'm just thrilled to share it because I know it works. Ha Ha.…
