I am 5'4 and a year ago I was at about 115, I started insanity and did 5 rounds before switching to T25. I am the same basic size as I was a year ago and I am at 122. What all of these stupid charts don't factor in is your bone structure ( my ring size is a 3, yes, 3 and my wrists are smaller than my 8 year old son who is…

Muscle weighs more than fat, so you may be losing fat as you gain muscle making it hard to tell you have lost fat.

Definitely go see a dr ASAP. My sister in law at age 25 thought she had some sensitivities to food, then her doctor said Crohn's disease, and then she finds out later that she has a form of intestinal cancer and now has a port installed in her chest for regular radiation treatments. And it all started with the runs…

It depends on your heart rate. http://www.calories-calculator.net/Calories_Burned_By_Heart_Rate.html This website might help you get a better estimate.

Ladies, I am so sorry to hear so any people whose lives are driven by the number on the scale, even after a significant weight loss. I can see the worry about gaining, but if you lost the weight in a healthy manner to start with- diet AND exercise, and created some lifestyle changes in the process, then it should not be an…

If you have recently dropped a lot of body fat it will mess with your hormones. I can tell when my body fat drops under about 20 because my cycles go from 28 days to 36 days. The first time I had that happen I freaked- I already have five kids, my career was on track, and I was fit. When it happened again, I saw the doctor…

And, with each if my babies, it got worse...

Quinoa is your friend. So easy! I cook mine in organic low sodium vegetable broth, and throw in some broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, onions, carrots, Brussels sprouts, whatever Vegis I have on the fridge. Fool proof, filling, low calorie!

I can completely relate! I am 5'4, and was about 117. I wanted to get down to about 113 so my clothes would fit better because after five kids and pushing 40, I had gained a little. I decided last February to start insanity, and I initially lost and hit my goal, but then I gained and I am up to about 121. I think it is all…

I'm not on here often enough to commit, but I feel your pain- I have five kids ( 19, 18, 16, 10, and 8) and am an elementary school principal. When my oldest were babies I was a teacher, so I know how stressful your life can be. What I can say is track your calories, be aware of your reason and purpose for eating, and…

I put a pinch of cardamom in the grounds before brewing to give it some sweet and nicely spiced flavor. Then just a tbsp of whole milk.

I had mine done in 1992 when I was 17. I was a 32 g. It was ugly. I went in weighing 103 and was 96 upon post surgery exam. I paid every last cent- it was my first financed purchase, my mom consigned the loan. Now, five children later, ( and being a healthy athletic 120 lbs) I joke that I have a B worth of meat, and a G…

Having completed the entire insanity program several times, I would suggest that if you are going to do doubles that you are careful with your diet and macros so you get enough nutrition to support two work outs. When I do doubles and don't get enough to eat I gain.

Get a fitness video, check out team beachbody.com and look at some of those programs!

Insanity is awesome, but you will get better results when you eat clean- eliminate fast good and you will easily drop a few in the last few lbs in your last weeks. Good food in is good energy out

I would suggest something light, egg white omelette with Vegis, or Greek yogurt with fruit- protein and fiber, and light on the cals.
