Thanks for the help guys!

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I think I'll eat at maintenance calories and increase my strength training then. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation! It certainly helps. :)

Insanity workout is a 45 mins HIIT session, 6 days per week, it does a lot of cardios, with a lot of jumps, so it's really intense. It also incorporates a lot of push ups, squats, abs exercises etc., so generally it helps to lose fats while building more defined and toned muscles. You can check Insanity out in youtube and…

So if I have a calorie surplus, how am I supposed to gain muscles while lose fats? Thanks for the encouragement too, i will not give up and will continue to…

In my post, I mentioned that I start eating more (about 1200 calories) since I started Insanity, and for now I'm only doing Insanity one time per day. I planned to increase to twice a day to burn more calories since I…

Thank you, I'll definitely check it out!

Thank you so much for the advice, I'll try to add more calories then!

Thanks for the link to the inspiring story! She looks really great! Yeah, my goal is to lose fats and gain muscles. I don't really care about the numbers on the scale if I'm gaining muscles, but the thing is I don't see I gain muscles or lose any fats. Or is it just too slow to be noticable? So, do you mean that I should…
