190lbs 5'8" (not sure on bf% really) I was getting around 1350 calories then I would add whatever I worked off (just switched to 1550 calories) Fat I have had trouble keeping at a certain number but it's ranged between 35 - 50grams I've had fatigue and brain fog ever since i've been low carb.

I heard it's different for people who are active. I usually work out 4-5 times a week and burn around 500 calories per work out.

I forgot to add that yesterday I decided to switch my settings from 2lbs a week to 1.5lbs to see is maybe I'm just not eating enough in general.

The above post is very accurate. Your muscles are holding onto a ton of water to recover so the gain is most likely water weight. I took a few days off when i started to gain and then the pounds shed off. Also I'm sure you're losing inches around your body - it's not all about the scale.

I use a HRM and usually burn between 400-550 calories during my workouts. For the most part i eat most of that back. It really depends on if I'm hungry. I like the fact that I have the option of eating more since I worked out.

I've done this for the past 3 weeks and tomorrow ill be my first weigh in! The scale had become discouraging...it sucks when you work hard and the scale says you gained. Although it's not fat and probably water weight or some muscle, it is still disappointing. After tomorrow I'll probably go on another 3 week no scale…

First week I lost 5 pounds, second week gained 2 pounds....I'm assuming the first week was just water weight maybe. I definitely look smaller and I have a lot more muscle. Everyone says the actual weight loss comes in the second month. I think our muscles are just in shock from how intense Insanity is and they have to get…

Don't be discouraged, it's called Insanity for a reason. I worked my way into it by incorporating the Plyometric Cardio Circuit into my normal routine. So one day a week, instead of doing what normal cardio I do, I did a round of Insanity. This warmed my body up and got me both physically and mentally ready to dive into…

I'm a little over two weeks into Insanity and it really is insane. I make sure to not compare myself to the people on the video, who are extremely fit and are still having problems keeping up. I just try my best and even when I feel like I've taken a lot of breaks, I realize how much I'm sweating and that it's still a…
