thanks.

I will :bigsmile: thank you:smile:

thanks to the both of you!

I can totally relate. I just posted a topic like this a few days ago. my sister brags a lot about unhealthy food specially mcdonald's and she sounds like she's taunting me or something. It's really really annoying and I try hard to contain myself and it works. I don't get why she does that. it's not like me trying to have…

I used to eat a loooot of different kinds of bread and of course several cups of rice with meat and fried stuff. plus when there are sweets in the house, I eat a bunch and sometimes finish it's all for me lol

riiiight. everything in moderation :smile:

yay! glad to know i can eat it without hindering my progress. thanks!

last Wednesday at our house party, I had: a cup of white rice chicken alexander beef and brocoli buttered vegetables chicken something.. (lol forgot what it's called) a lot of fruit salad 4 slices of pizza some nuts cashew brittle cassava cake felt really guilty, full, and upset after that and I'm trynig not to do that…

1,500-2,000 on active days and try to eat 1,200-1,400 on rest days. 5'3

80-100 ounces of water daily. I drink a lot to feel full even if it doesn't work sometimes lol. I usually drink 3-4 cups a meal + random water drinking between meals

you could drink some tea. I suggest green tea or chamomile tea. there are brands that sell flavored teas that are really tasty! I drink lemon water when I wake up as it is really hydrating and helped me clear my skin because of it's detoxifying properties. but as you mentioned, you can not drink much water in the morning…

oh and one quote that really motivates me is "success is the best revenge" lol. just imagining how people will react when I finally get to my goal encourages me to continue this lifestyle

Thanks everyone! I really hate it when people becomes a dbag just because you chose to be a better person and they know that you'll be better than them in the long run

LOL

Wow how insensitive of her!! please, do not mind her :grumble: be happy about what you have achieved. she is probably jealous :D :p but hey, she should be proud of you! :angry:

probably. my sister has tried losing weight before. she has tried insanity (which is what i am doing now) but stopped after a few days. she even tried the master cleanse thingy and lost 5 pounds in a week. she was really proud and stopped the cleanse at that point. little did she know that those quick weight loss, quickly…

I try not to react most of the time! I just smile and hide all the annoyance i feel but when she doesn't stop I just laugh and walk away from her. I don't need that negativity and her annoying presence around me lol. makes me wanna go to the gym more cause she's not there!

I know! lol I try not to let them affect my mood much cause working out also depends on my mood lol. oh, and good luck with meeting more family members! :happy:

weeeellll actually she's my older sister but our cousin is just 1 year younger than me

you're not a failure! the fact that you considered insanity as your daily workout is brave and amazing! and it's normal if you are not able to finish the whole video on your first few days or weeks. you just have to be consistent in working out and you'll get better! :)

it's okay not to follow the guide as long as you still eat healthy, not under eat and get enough protein to help your muscles recover

right. i see, thanks so much for the info!

I try to get over it, move on and start over. but a day after that good day of starting over, I binge again. it's a horrible cycle! :( I also tried that 1 day trick. that's what I do on my cheat days, I eat whatever I want but that's when bingeing usually starts so it just makes things worse. but I noticed that just…

well since you are lactose intolerant, I suggest that you use a protein powder that is not whey based. there are a few from dymatize, the brand that I use. they have Dymatize ISO-100 which is lactose free. cookies and cream is a great flavor! Optimum Nutrition's platinum hydrowhey is also lactose and cholesterol free but…

I'll try this method to see if it works better for me. I've calculated my TDEE before and I got an estimated 1800 cals but I chose 6x a week for my activity level. should I use the 6x a week (intense) as I am planning to go to the gym on top of my insanity workouts cause I have been bingeing lately

i miss those days when my problem was i had to eat more at the end of the day cause i was always below my limit.. :cry:

thank you! :blushing: lol i accepted the request. looking forward to helping and motivating each other! :smile: and thanks to the others who answered. I am gonna visit the nearest gym tomorrow so I could get a membership and spend most of my free time there..... lol this is what i get for eating so much :grumble: plus i…

hi! I'm on month 2 of insanity and I think that insanity should be enough for you to lose weight. it's a great and very effective workout as long as you are consistent and do not focus on the scale cause you will lose inches but gain some muscle weight on top of the total pounds you lost. and btw, sometimes i add in more…

1,800? isn't that too much? will it make you gain weight or is it just right to compensate for the energy you use when doing insanity? and thanks! yeahh and I'm proud to say I finish all the videos I do! :D with pause breaks lol
