I would also like to know the pros and cons... I dont keep mine at MAX but doing insanity and even zumba(hour long) my heart rate hardly drops below 150... If it does its not longer than a few minutes then back up to 165-189... Although in Insanity when it reaches up above 180 I start to feel like I'm going to vomit... SO…

This is so true... I am seeing results since I've given up my exuses... No means am I perfect, but having a plan of Attack is def. making the difference for me. A few times I have fallen short of my plan and made a pit stop at the gas station... I ended up getting a bag of pistachios, turkey jerky, a banana and a pure…

I started at 1200 cals a day realized through threads on here that I was netting 800-900 cals because I exercise 6-7x a week, like insanity, jogging and zumba among floor exercises... Using a HRM I calculate about 400-800 cals a day I burn through Exercise. Anyways I lost 15 lbs in the first 2 1/2 months then stalled and…

LOL.... Great thread... I never even heard of the Paleo diet until recently... I eat everything in moderation, but because I like how non processed food make me feel majority of my diet is lean meats veggies and fruits with small amounts of bread carbs usually near TOM :o) Yay! To eating everything in moderation!!!

I have a friend that is a trainer and he told me that it really isn't a protein bar is there is more sugar grams in the bar than there are protien grams.... I was like WOW my favorite one is pure protein.... but I usually eat it as a breakfast or after a hard core insanity work out... always fitting in my calorie…

Glad that you are checking out the other sites :o) Your 84 lb loss is so Motivational!! From my understanding MFP works on the basis that they are assuming you do not work out at all, so it gives you the 1200 to lose 2 lbs a week. I seen some one 5'10 and 180 pounds with the same thing given from MFP... So you are suppose…

I get nervous too when my cals get around 600! But I also exercise daily even if its a 30 min walk... Sounds like you are not eating enough cals though to begin with because you shouldn't be starving!! :o) Eating healthy or even eating with a restricted calorie amount doesn't have to mean you have to feel hunger pains. I…

This is basically true for me too! around TOM I may have one serving of Oreos or a serving of tortilla chips and salsa... I LOVE those! nothing is off limits for me, but I do choose high protein and good fats.... My carbs usually come from fruits and veggies, I just feel better and have a better functioning body eating…

You are eating to little! This is a great tool to help understand your body http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Your net cals shouldn't be less than 1200... you will see this over and over again... at the beginning of my journey I did this same mistake until I educated myself on fueling the body :o) You will…

Yes, I thought of this too, CALORIE count makes a difference... I've been doing all the things you've listed above, I even wear a heart rate monitor during exercises. I was eating on an average of 1200 cals a day but exercising 5-7x a week, doing mainly Insanity and walking ALOT of walking.... burning up to 800 cals or…

I've been doing a combination of zumba and insanity since January... While I feel my endurance and strength has improved dramatically I was only eating around 1200 cals and netting way below that on most days.... I am very sad to see that all my hard work really was getting rid of muscle so in a result while I have gone…

Hi there, I am actually going today, I bought a groupon for $15 month trial. honestly I just am trying it out... just to add to my exercise routine, not sure if it will be replacing anything or just become an addition this month :o) I did see that now they have curves+zumba so I am so excited about that!
-
Awesome!!! That is the key find something that you love so that you WANT to do it and it will stick! :o) Just Awesome!

Wow this post is awesome! Thanks for some visual motivation!!! I would love to be 18-20% body fat range... helps me aim for a goal!

I giggled out loud... shhhh I'm at work lol

I use workout enhancers like c-4 or Jack 3D They give me the extra kick in the pants I need to keep the endurance and speed :o) if you try C-4 I order mine through amazon.com its 39.99 and gives you twice as much as buying it at GNC for the same price!

I really hope this is my issue... so far I had a 3 lb loss a month ago and have not dropped since... going on 3 1/2 weeks at the same weight!! Will post later if when I experience a loss... Hoping for big number :o)

Yes these are all important factors! I LOVE Zumba, I love classes and I have the xbox core and rush games that I do often, yesterday wearing my HRM i burned 431 calories in 40 minutes.... I def work up a dripping sweat... I think maybe your teacher is not that great.... I also burn close to the same during a 40 min…

Wow 920 calories in one meal?! I would try to pick a lower calorie meal such as a salad and watch the dressing or go for a grilled chicken sandwich no cheese or mayo, pick one fry or chili. I can have a large chili as a meal in itself! Do you eat snacks throughout the day? I am surprised that you have a calorie deficit if…

"Lol, it's Samoa Airlines? Probably makes sense since most people flying it are Samoans who have some of the "biggest" genetics in the world. Not uncommon to see a 16 year old male weigh 200lbs or more." This is so true, I worked with an entire family of Samoa's, while they love to eat, and make DELISH food!! They also…

add nuts to your diet they are a small snack and high in calories. Are you measuring your protein? 4 oz is 120 cal. so maybe eat 6 oz serving. I am wheat and glueten free eater and I can eat 1200 cals so I wouldn't advise to add bread. It will cause your sugar to rise and that creates cravings... Any ways yeah snack more,…
