insanity is a real intense workout program and ur muscle will be retaining water for repairs... just insure ur drinking plenty, eating high protein every meal and in a week or 2 the weight will melt off (not so much a scales loss but an inches loss)

i had been doing the c25k for months then one evening a mate suggested a run on a work break... 6.7 miles later we got back to the depot... 2 days later 10 miles!!! mind over matter people u gotta push yaself :)

jodye2926 - on my next PT session wednesday im ganna ask my instructor what the test is called so i can let ya all know and can research it :)x

just change it to a lb loss per week. u dont have to eat like a rabbit on 1200 cals a day. thats just plain scary im near double that!

calipers also used so the fat loss is bang on, so with a 3kg fat loss but only 1kg real terms weight loss seems machine must be somewhere about right. i am working out at a very high intesity and have been for 8 or so months.

you can change it... go into settings and have a snout about... to get up to 1700 cals i had to set mine to "maintain" even tho im still losing. i guess i just feel better when MFP doesnt tell me off for eating too much lol

if it helps it helps every time i have the same test done at the PT session every 6 weeks i up my cals accourdingly. my last one said i had a daily requirement of just over 2300 cals so i shoot for that figure and do at least 500 cal exercise 5 times a week. over the course of the year ive lost 48 pounds and gain a fair…

because i had a test done where u have some electrodes attached to u and it takes readings. i have one done every 6 weeks in PT session... the last one was done 2 weeks ago and those were the results

muscle gain can be achieved even with a defisit. last pt assesment i had lost 3kgs of fat and gained 2kgs lean muscle mass - just make good food choices - high protein in every meal

your need every one of those cals for insanity....lol.. great workout x

if it helps i have gone from 1200 cals a day 8 months ago to now an av of 2000-2300 - i do a mix or weights and cardio. try n find out ur bmr and that will guide u to what u should be eating. i had the machine test and figure for me to maintain currently is 2300 cals!! im 4foot9 1/2

not sure where u are from nut i avoiod the "cost" aspect by shopping at times when stores are due to close and end up buying at least 4 times the stuff i would at regular prices :)

found some i had taken from the start of my journey and my god i couldnt believe 1 how fat i really was and 2 how far id come... great feeling :)

Agree with te above posters on Greek yogurt porridge and cottage cheese :)

Eggs! So versatile and packed with protein... Breakfast of kings (and queens) :)

It's because building muscle as well as burning fat. I had. PT assessment the other week and lost 3kgs of fat, gained 2nd muscle hence only a 1kg scale loss but many many inches. Stick with it :)

This is why I love this site getting real people's real findings. I will be guinea pig for the next few weeks making sure I get my 2300 cals (minus 500ish) and see if a/body gets tighter or b/lose any weight as I've plataued

Just saw one thread about a peanut butter banana smoothy... Think I've found my answer :)

My legs are my trouble area and still have plenty to lose there. I'm just hoping plodding along with the weight and cardio mix will get to where I wanna be. Ur doing fab. I can't stress enuff the difference adding strength resistance to ur training will do. Seems to keep stretch marks down x

Bust out those weights ladies - really works :)

Vallemic - nice one x mamma - I go to the gym 5 times a week and do weights every day for about 45mins to an hour... I do 2 body parts a day and if one is still sore skip it and do another x

Yeah it's just finding a way of increasing cals without increasing bad foods x

I used to hit everything same day but found time the issue, now I do a 3 day cycle with a rest day as and when I need it. Had 2 this week so tomorrow will start mid way thru my 3 workout cycle. Seems to work well as I hit each muscle group harder knowing they will get a rest :)

Under today well over yesterday - my treat day of fish n chips :)

I used to hate running but over the last year have built up from running a meter or 2 to having done a 10 miles run around Layton ad surrounding areas lol. Also do biking climbing and weights x

Wow ur my inspiration. Mainly do 5ks at the mo but have one 6.7 miles and one 10 miles under my belt. Next goal is for the half marathon. Ice done a great job. Full marathon next?? :)

Good stuff... Think Greek yogart (fage pot is 97 cals), babybell light about 50 cals, cottage cheese large pot about 200-300 cals but does a few meals, turkey/chicken breast, any fruit n veg oh and nuts are a super food x

Thanks sallytx and londoneoman :) Charm9 good luck with the weight loss. Having that wedding goal will push u on greatly. Just never give up even if u have a bad day here and there x

wow thats quite amazing. i easly burn 500 a day so should make a concious effort to eat up to my 2300. worth a shout eh

very achievable, what route are u ganna take? can fully recomment including some resistance training along with the healthy diet and cardio x
