  • When I did 5x5, I don't think I was ever sore, either. I think that's why I got bored of it and switched to 5/3/1. I do a lot of assistance work now, so I'm pretty much always sore. I'm not sure which is better though to be honest. Maybe with 5x5 you increase your weights slowly enough that your body adapts ,and so you…
  • I think mine synced like twice, but never again. I think there's some bugs that need to be fixed.
  • Not sure about the numbness, that doesn't sound normal. If your protein powder has sugar alcohols in it (many do), that could bother your stomach. I think it's common.
  • The calf pain should go away once you get used to the workouts. I remember watching a video chat and Shaun T said that some people, he included himself, get that pain in the feet and you have to wait a few minutes for it to pass; it's normal. I never got it during insanity but I did during T25. Sometimes it helps to warm…
  • Been there, done that. I've always hated that I wasn't an exception to this rule.
  • Your #s are fine. It doesn't really matter too much where you start. My numbers were higher, but I had just finished turbofire & chalean extreme (which I have to thank for being able to do real pushups). Come to think of it, I think I skipped the initial fit test on my first round because I was so excited to start. I will…
  • Don't give up! I ate about 4,000 yesterday. Oops. I logged it all and moved on. Today is a new day. You won't regret getting back on the wagon, but you most certainly will regret giving up! In the grand scheme of things, you may have set yourself back a week or two, but what does that matter if this is a lifestyle change?…
  • My right thigh is 23" and my left is 21". Hmmm maybe I'll try the successful spot reduction method to make them even.
  • My refrigerator broke today, so hopefully something that doesn't give me food poisoning. That kind of weight loss just isn't sustainable... Probably a giant salad to make up for the cookies I had for breakfast.
  • I love beachbody vids. I graduated insanity in June. I don't weigh myself and probably haven't in a year for some reason (I like pretending it's not there probably) , but I did lose 3 inches off my waist! Wish I took before/after pics for a free t-shirt. I completed 7/9 weeks of my second round, but became kinda burned out…
  • I try to eat the same foods I ate before trying to lose weight, and will continue to eat after I lose weight. I just try to eat less of them. Never would have guessed that eating smaller portions doesn't make me feel any less satisfied. Guess I was eating a lot of bonus calories before. :laugh:
