I would say no, as its a diuretic. I would if it was decaf though! Id log it separate and try to drink an extra glass of water for every 2 cups!

This might sound silly, but my alarm clock is across the room on my dresser. I have to get out of bed to turn it of, so it encourages me to just stay up. With my workout clothes layed out I just change quickly and go!

Katy perry -teenage dream My darkest day - Pornstar dancing Pink - Raise your glass I have a whole play list, but these 3 get me going for some reason lol

I like iced gree tea with a lemon wedge, or lemon juice. I'm also a fan of the aquafina flavoured waters :)

sounds yummy!

I have finished week 7, I ate clean (not to their guide), and I didnt lose a pound. I feel more toned, and I can start to see my abs, but other than that...nothing :)

Thanks for all the great ideas! I think I might start running again for a week and bump up my calories, and then next week start into week 6 and see what happens! Its so frustrating concidering how hard Insanity is to not see the scale move, and my measurements arent changing much either!

My post workout shake is a scoop of chocolate whey protein, 1/2 cup of milk and 1 cup of coffee, blended and I have that with breakfast. If I dont have time for breakfast I do 1 scoop of slimfast chocolate royale powder, a scoop of protein powder, 1/2 cup milk and top it up with water...both are super yummy. If I have…

A good shot of peptobismol, a big glass of water, 2 advil and a piece of toast...then maybe a light stretch? see how you feel? Maybe a walk outside would do some good :)

I run my HRM sensors under the tap until theyre soaked. Try that maybe?

Thanks! I definately didnt lose much weight during the first month, I lost 2 pounds over my recovery week, and I am excited to see what month 2 has in store! :)

I used to work in retail...they told me the button is supposed to draw your eyes in making your butt look smaller? When I told customers they loved it and bought a pair, but I dont know how true it is!

I just did my last day of my recovery week, and I burned between 290 and 325 calories. I burned about 135 calories on my cardio recovery, and high 300's to mid 400's for all the other workouts depending.

For breakfast on egg days I do 1 whole wheat english muffin, 0.5 slice of deli cut havarti cheese, and 1 poached egg. I make it into a breakfast sandwich for onlt 280 calories!

I havent gone over in my calories in weeks...tonight I'm 400 calories over after a girls night. I would just move forward and forget if I were you, remember how bad you felt about it, and call it a night! :)

I got mine for christmas and it didnt work. I took it back and got a new one, and its wonderful! Maybe take it back for a new one?

My favourite thing to do is to get a big oven safe pan and add onion, brusselsprouts, zucchini, potatos, carrots, asperagus,and any other veggie you can think of and toss them with some olive oil, and seasonings; I like Mrs. Dash and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Then I have yummy roasted veggies on hand at a…

Week 3 done! anyone still going at it?! :)

I'm going into my fourth week of it. Its intense but I have noticed SUCH a HUGE difference in my body after only 3 short weeks. My legs are more toned, my tummy is flatter, my arms are more defined...the scale hasnt really moved but I figure thats from muscle? I totally think its worth the money. It was really hard the…

My advice would be this: Take a day and clear out a space in your garage, clean away those cobwebs, dead roaches (poor you!), and dirt thats in there and make it a place you can work out in! Hello calories burned cleaning that place! I really liked the idea of getting a space heater, and if youre still chilly get yourself…

I wouldn't take it, but I might mention to your friends that you are watching what you eat. I like to remember that a Fist = 1 cup of fruit or 1 medium whole, raw fruit, Thumb = 1 ounce of cheese or meat, Fingertip = Approximately 1 teaspoon, Tip of Thumb = Approximately 1 tablespoon, One Cupped Hand = 1 or 2 ounces of dry…

I drink camomile tea and it knocks me out!

This might sound terrible but I miss my "drinking wine in bed with a crazy straw." nights. Its my favourite way to de-stress..but super high in calories. I also miss ice cream...I could eat a tub a day...

My inches are getting smaller! thanks for the help!!

For me, it depends on the day. For example, after school today I didnt care if I lost another pound ever again, I was grumpy and just wanted to stuff my face. For me this doesnt happen often, so I made my boyfriend take my to harveys, I got a veggie burger, ate a couple cookies, took a hot shower and did my insanity…

Although I am incredibly out of shape compared to my highschool years (I'm 21) and used to row competitively I honestly didnt do anything special, and was one of the top athletes in my age group and weight class. I ate healthy, I did my workouts thoroughly and followed my coaches instructions. All I can tell you is to eat…

Maybe its my lack of willpower, but I am not capable of just eating 1200 calories. I get a headache, grumpy, and have no enegery. Now if I workout and can eat those calories I feel MUCH better during the day. Its probably do-able to just eat too few calories and you probably will lose weight, but you will most likely gain…

Great Idea to buy a fun shirt and move on! By the look of your profile picture you are beautiful. I can imagine how hurtful that must have been for you. The best revenge is to make him eat his words and continue on your weight loss journey! Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like! :)

Ask your family dr. is he thinks its okay for her to do it. I mean, I dont see why not, I started rowing at the age of 12 and it was pretty intense, but I'm not a health care professional! As for the recovery workout, it was nice to have a day "off" but I REALLY enjoyed todays workout, it was super hard. The only thing I…

I did the cardio recovery workout today, and I found it it be incredibly slow and boring. I mean some things I definately felt and my legs were vibrating, but the burn according to my HRM was like 190 calories. I get its a recovery, but still frustrating for me lol
