I have one! Love it! I am ALWAYS forgetting to take meat out to defrost it... that's why I got it to give it a try. And let me tell you - it actually works. Meat can go from frozen to fully cooked in 15-20 minutes. I've cooked everything in there (except an entire chicken). I've never had a problem with it. Best investment…

^^ This You're probably losing inches and gaining muscle.

I gave in and purchased a real HRM, a Polar FT4 a few weeks ago. Love it! Best thing ever! It was $65 on Amazon. It's basic; comes with a strap. I had a cheap one that I had to stop and use my finger for - that just got frustrating. The ones on the machines are just not right. I do a lot of workout videos, so there's not…

SW: 149 W4W: 145.1 Slow and steady it seems... This week is a waste, it's TOM. :explode: I'm not thinking I'll meet the 20lbs in two months but I'm going to keep at it. :ohwell:

Try getting inserts. I use Dr Scholl's women's athletic inserts... they're like $15 at walgreen's. Have made a world of difference. I didn't really want to go out and buy new sneakers so I tried these first. Good luck.

I tend to weigh myself first thing in the morning, after I use the potty. I only record my weight Monday mornings. And the week my period is due I use what I weighed the Friday before for that week. I gain like 2-3lbs of pure water during that week, not going to go crazy over that blip every month.

I won't lie, it's hard getting up even earlier to work out. But once you do it a few times, just try doing an evening workout. It sucks. I used to do my workouts in the evenings, after the kids got in bed and I hated every minute of it. Most of my workout routines never lasted. But depending on my schedule, I either work…

I'm 5'2 and my ultimate goal is 120 (I'm about 145 now) It's pretty much where I'm supposed to be says... EVERYTHING. haha.

I'm in the 4th week of the first month. Feel free to add me. I think once I'm done with this round I'm going to give it another go.

Start of challenge Weigh in: 149 W1W: 147.6 W2W: 147.2 W3W: 146.6 TWL: 2.4lbs Now that I figured out what I was doing wrong, I hope to catch up soon to where I should be. :) Here's to another week...

I used to have a glass or two of wine a night. But since I started MFP back up at the beginning of the month, and started working out like it's my job I have had no desire. I'm not sure why you were drinking, but my reasoning was due to long stressful days - between the kids and work, plus household work.. I was strapped.…

I eat enough back just to meet the net 1200 calories MFP suggests. Since I started doing that the numbers starting going down much more steadily. I used to not eat back my exercise calories and was netting way under 1200 and was gaining weight! But these lovely folks instructed me you need to meet your goal at least. So…

^^^ This.

If I work out first thing in the morning I need to eat something or else I feel sick. Also, I feel like I have no energy. If it's later in the day, I usually try and eat after I work out. If I eat before I feel sluggish. To each his own I guess...

Jerk. But that's why I don't post that kind of stuff on Facebook. The people who have nothing better to do always have something to say. Awesome job BTW. :flowerforyou:

I'm eating what I normally would except I'm not indulging in it and eating until I'm stuffed. I started adding more fruits and veggies which aren't so bad. ;) Portion control pretty much is my "diet". If I feel like I'm on a diet per say I'm starving adn I hate it and it sucks. So I'll increase my net calories and…

- I'm 5'2... and before working out I'm usually eating about 1500-1800 calories depending on the day, my work schedule, etc. - I assumed since I was eating enough calories wise and burning a decent amount my net didn't really matter. - Yay. I get to eat more I guess... even though I'm not usually too hungry. - I don't mind…

Really, don't net below 1200. That seems like a lot.

Start of challenge Weigh in: 149 W1W: 147.6 W2W: 147.2 * I'm getting frustrated. I'm staying under my calories, I'm working out every day. I've been doing the Insanity work outs and I think I'm toning up - which is fine - and it's causing me to stay the same weight, but I am losing inches which is a good thing as well. I…

If it's something you're going to continue, try drinking a protein shake within an hour of finishing. I usd to always be so sore after hard workouts (Insanity) and when I started drinking protein shakes I stopped being as sore. I can still feel it but it'd liveable.

I'm at 1200 calories a day, and I would never be able to do it. I've been exercising a lot and I have to eat at least half of what I work off in order to be full. Portion control is important. So far I've been eating the same things I've always eaten but just smarter decisions about it. (Like today I took the kids to…

I agree. If I buy junk food, I eat the junk food. So I just don't buy it. I have kids and they want the cookies and chips every once and awhile, so I make sure I get something that I don't like this way I'm not tempted to eat it and it's still there for their dessert after dinner, or with their lunch. I stopped buying soda…

I'm a mom of two. Boy, 6; Girl, 4. Plus I work outside the home on a rotating schedule so it's taking quite a bit of work and motivation to find time to work out. But we have a treadmill so I try and use that during "off times" (before they wake up in the morning, or before dinner in the evening) but they've also gotten…

I felt like that when I tried Weight Watchers last year. For me, it was like I was telling myself I was on a diet and couldn't eat what I wanted, all the freaking time. So food was all that I thought about, and so I was hungry all the time. With MFP, I haven't had that problem. I'm eating what I want, but with moderation.…

I'm 28! Always looking for more motivational workout friendships. I don't have too hard of a time avoiding the yummy cookies and candies at the grocery store anymore. But I do love them out of the vending machine at work. SW: 149 CW:147 GW: 130 UGW: 120

I'm totally in! This is my second go to Insanity... I made it through a month two years ago when I bought it and I hated every minute of it. Went on vacation and fell off the wagon. I'm giving it another go, and I'm all in. Actually enjoying it this time. Start Date: 07/09/2012 Projected End: 09/09/2012 Following Nutrition…
