Coke Zero and Pepsi Max are my drinks of choice :)

and I am trying each time to make a difference. Unfortunalty the pressure being put on me by family and friends to loose the weight before I return to colledge, so that I can study otherwise I will fail my exams, is harrendous and it's not easy to keep the mind at peace when u push yourself everyday

I look up the food calories via MFP then write it down in my diary, that way it's just easier for me to flick through, and I'm a little old fashioned. I'm thinking of sticking with the elite nutrition guide, although due to not having food stuff available/ super expensive I will have to modify e.g. no flax seed etc. I…

Relatives. Saying I am oer eating and just putting more on than I am exercizing. Statswise: 72kg, 157cm and age 25

I keep a paper food diary. I just use the calorie counter to look up different foods, so It's not very accurate. I used to use slimfast as a meal replacement for one of my meals as I didn't have any protein shake. However this week I was abel to aquire some to switched over, however it tastes foul, so I use like less than…

I just measured my waist...it has gone up 5cm...

I haven't seen a single change on week 4. I'm supposed to be eating 1800 calories acordign to the elite nutrition guide I'm pretty flabby with no muscle at all and I'm doing the workouts till I'm dripping I'm weighing just under a kg more than before, hardly any change tbh, but no other changes in my physic what so ever,…

I wouldn't trust a chiropracter. If he said it was a crooked pelvis. Although the pelvis has different elements to it, it can't move it's fused together, so it would be impossible to "de-crookied-fy" the pelvis.... He might have done somethign to make u feel better, but personally I wouldn't go to a chiropractor before…

Yea. I have the same problem. I need to sit with cusion support. Also , moves were u bend down, if I am finding it difficult I will only go as far as I can and not push it e.g. suicide

Am I doing the right thing. As I am currently getting blasted for eating and not getitn gresults

how long was it before u started seeing results in insanity. i'm on week 4 and everything is still bulding everywhere

(srry smthign occured to me. I found that after 4 weeks of weekly exercize which was less intense and eating proccessed foods, cakes, take-aways etc. 3 years ago I lost so much more than recently when I am doing intense activity and eating clear 93% of the time)

Hey, Before insanity I had no level of fitness. I am on week 4. It's realy hard but I'm pushing through everyday. I can do more than I could befre, but I can't doa pushup as of yet, but hoping that once I'm done I can at least do 1. lol

Yea! Thats a much simpler way of putting it. What if u ate junk food like pizza, chips, cake etc. for every meal everyday but within your calorie limits? Calories wise I'm eating the number recomended to me. Cheat meals wise, not very often. I was bad this week and had a cake bar and a bag of 86calorie french fries in the…

Hey. I'm on insanity atm, but not following the diet 100% just keeping my calories up an my protein, as I can't control what I eat. You could look into Gluten free alternatives likes gluten free bread etc. or look into getting oat bread as the program advocates oats :) Maybe even consider a portion of rice as an…

I'm only on week 4 atm. I'll be doing the recovery week next then month 2.

Thanks for the post. It's good to know that I'm not the only one lol Got to keep going :D

Agreed. You'd think a buisnessmans who's nature is to weight up risk with benefit would now when to stop.

Rhabdomyolysis is caused by dehydration during extreme exercize. I don't know the exact mechanism, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that the blood supply isn't sufficient due to reduced hydration, which causes problems with muscle metabolism. Then some crazy stuff happens which results in the release…

I just saw this. NSAIDs are nastey things. If you do take them make sure you take advise from a doctor or nurse as you will need to line your stomach i.e. eat before or when you take them (I'm not 100% sure if that is accurate so plz plz check with the pros)

I was under the impression that rhabdomyolysis occurs due to inadequet hydtation during intense exertion. Also the articl doesn't disclose if tests were done to establish an autoimmune cause. ER is notorius for fixing them up as best as they can then sending them off to the relevant specialists who will determin the exact…

Ask her to pick up some caramel/sweet rice crackers, as they are low cal Snack on those for a bit before you you take two spoons of her ice-cream then think. "i've had enough"

Hey. I am interested in making oat bars to help cubs the hunger. The blog is brillient. I will definatly be using some of those recipies

As long as it can last upto each birthday I should be able to survive. hehe

I always thought carbs took longer to burn off. Thanks for that :D Also dp1228, would u be able to recomend a good HR monitor?

Is the slimfast cramming me with carbs? I want to eat more, but my house is so full of carbs that I try not to overdo it, but I'm not wholely sure how to replace those carbs, because they are staples. Then I was told to try not eat fruit as that is just as bad as the carbs as it is sugar? TBH, I'm a bit rubbish with the…

Sorry for the double post. I've workout how many calories I can take in and I'm keeping to that (1,800) sometimes 100 over sometimes 100 under I am planning on re-doing insanity once I return to colledge and then I can follow the recipies given as I'll be doing my own cooking and spending lol

Yes and No. I live at home so I don't have much say over what I eat, so I do have "5 meals" a day, but it's usually 4 small ones and a bigger one in the evening. Also I use my own recipies rather than the ones provided e.g. branflakes, slimfast instead of the shakes recommended, instead of wheat bread I use oat bread if I…

Oh dear >.< Thanks for the replies :)

Hey. I'm doing all the warm ups and cool downs. I usually have to take a quick break, as I['m not that fit. hahaha I'm on week 3 too :D I'm going to do my session in about an hour. Atm, I'm dying from all the housework! hahaha
