This is just a plateau. Sometimes you can fix it by increasing your calories a bit. It sounds crazy, I know, but sometimes you can starve your body, especially when you're using an intense workout program like P90X. Your body might think it's being starved and in turn it is storing all of the food you eat for later,…

I always eat more when I exercise, and I should! I didn't eat when my body was telling me to and I ended up on a plateau for 2 months. Now, I'm eating more and exercising harder because now I have the energy from food to do it!

Mine is cupcakes. I can resist chocolate for the most part now, but I love cupcakes; so much that I want to have a giant display of them at my wedding.

Oh goodness no no no! My goal is to LOSE 98-103 pounds! Haha. Just to clear that up, everyone, I'm 5'6" and I want to weigh 150-155! I started at 253! I'm now at 206.

Hey Kate. My name is Melody, and my goal is between 98-103 pounds. I've lost 47 pounds so far. Feel free to add me. =]

LOL, I also have a booty. That's why I'm convinced the BMI will forever think I'm overweight.

I also need to look into this!

Yeah but I think you also have to keep your body on its toes. It adapts very easily, so exercise does become necessary once it adapts to the amount of calories you're eating.

I am struggling with this exact same thing. I have been told by several people that I'm not eating enough and that I should be eating AT LEAST 1700 calories a day to see a change in weight. I have lost an inch or so around the waist/hips/thighs/arms, but no weight whatsoever in two weeks. I just keep upping my calories and…

I just started Insanity two weeks ago and I feel awesome. I haven't lost any pounds yet, but I have lost inches from my hips, waist, thighs, and arms. I definitely recommend it.

A girl shut my middle finger in her locker in middle school. Haha.

I have not supplemented with anything. I've lost 45 pounds and have done that with diet and exercise only. I still have 50-55 pounds to go though.

Oh goodness! I love this idea with the bracelet! I think I will steal it if that's quite alright. =] I started at 253 and am now at 208. My goal is around 150. I decided that I'm going to reward myself with a bikini and a belly button ring as well.

I like what some of the others said. I mostly agree to still eating the yummy stuff, but less. You must let yourself live sometimes, or the diet becomes more of a punishment. I am in college, and if I feel like I want pizza, I get pizza, but I make sure to take only a little pizza and take some veggies with it. There is a…

This is not uncommon. I actually lost 4 pounds my first week with a goal of 2 pounds a week. I think maybe this is such a drastic change for the body that this happens. I don't know the science behind it , but it happens. Actually, one friend of mine lost 7 or 8 pounds her first week. The loss does even out though as the…

The answer to this one really shouldn't be how much you could lose, but how much you should lose in order to do it in a healthy way. You're really only supposed to lose 2lbs maximum each week. When you lose weight healthily, it is easier to keep off in the long run. That, at least, is my input on the matter. Good luck!
