Very tough. I remember the first time I tried insanity (promo DVD because I am a coach) I got killed within the first 15minutes and that was the warmup. If you get discouarged easily, Insanity is not for you. Although If I remember right there was some guy that started it at 350 and lost alot of weight for it but Insanity…

p90x= cardio + strength training, it can be fairly intense starting out but there is a good bit of modifyable moves in P90x. You'll neeed a pullup bar(or bands with door attachment, since it has pullups), some sort of weights if you don't have them already. But all in all its a awesome program for losing weight while…

Oohh I got one for that, is masterbation cheating in the relationship?! :O I mean its with yourself after all.. much like your diet.. okay i'll stop joking around. Anywho I did say to "plan" the cheat meal if you're going to have one to "Control" the possibility of binging from being overly strict. and to me (as in,…

Oh and to stop taking over this post, you are more than welcome to flame me in Pms if you would like. doesn't matter to me either way I already added what's worked for me in the past.

When I first started out at 440lbs. I was eating at 1200 calories daily, for the first month. I'm pretty sure I know ALOT more about willpower then you ever will. Sorry, until you actually post a picture of your "before" I wouldn't believe that you were ever overweight. That's just my opionion anyway, whether you like it…

A cheat "meal", cannot destroy an entire weeks of work, unless you've hardly done any work and or decide it would be a great time to eat 7000 calories in one setting. Just sayin'. We could have different definitions of what a cheat meal or day is however. But most of everything else you said is correctt for standard weight…

Its normal but try planning your cheat meal/day. Also its only 1 day, 1 day isn't enough to destroy anyone's results. Start back on your regular plan tomorrow. Cheat days or random binges will come because of the meticiouls planning and micromanaging your foods and eating perfectly, eventually the body and mind will want a…

KFC grilled chicken breast, high in protein,d ecent calories per piece, medium sodium. more healthier optiotn.

Just do your best to reduce your overallweight and start lifting heavier weights (don't forget to up your protein) so you can start building/toning your arm muscles, and you'll be rewarded with defined arms overtime.

My trick to eating a hamburger and still losing weight and making it healthy. 4 oz's of 96% lean ground beef/sirloin (roughly 150 calories) 1 Arnold Sandwich thin (100 calories) http://www.arnoldbread.com/Products/Description.aspx?sSku=7341013546 A SLICE of nonprocessed cheese(40 through 80 depending on what it is), if…

Sure, you're in what could be considered healthy averages of bodyfat. It honestly depends on how comfortable you are with your body and what you want, if you're looking to get down to a flat stomach/abs, you need to be anywhere between 8-14% bodyfat (depending on the persons build/height/muscle) Your bodyfat is 22% so say…

Its not nessecarily related to fat grams. There are diets (like Ketos diet) that revolve around eating high amounts of protein and fat. It comes down to the types of fats you're eating. EFA/omega 3's healthy fats like that are perfectly fine in your diet and do help. ab routines are rrecommended at least 3 times a weel but…

Completely possible, I have lost to date 180lbs that are still gone. Problem with surgeries like that is its just a quick fix, a crutch to the problem so to speak. If you don't learn nutrition and learn how to eat for your health, ultimately, you will gain the weight back because your habits didn't change. Even if someone…

I'd say Turbo Jam or maybe HipHop abs, since they have good music that makes it more interesting. BUt you need to fix your attitude, changing won't happen over night and if you're not willing to put forth the effort to change, you're going to be stuck where you're at if its too hard, modify it until its bareable and then…

Its cool, I could have clarified it better. Trust me, by no means do I expect someone to buy/use Shakeology if they have alternate means. But it has worked in my favor, I can only say Im' sorry it didn't work for you. When it comes to health and budget however, its whatever keeps you alive/anyone alive. The main reason I…

Insanity is awesome. :) Dig DEEPER! If you're sore after the workout, wait until you wake up HAHA. Shaun T is coming to the Ohio area in a week, would be great to workout with him.

Nice to see there are alot of beachbody users here :) TurboFire is fun. I am not a very coordinated or dancy like person but I really like Turbofire. HAHA I can't do BBL, i'm sorry.. that.. just doesn't feel right doing it as a guy. I'm sure my butt could use the work but I saw Cardio Ax and spent the next 25 minutes…

You might have read something about the liver making glucose by breaking down muscle protein/tissue, but I am not 100% on that. :)

Hm my post didn't go through. Anyway, majority of my post was meant for the person below you, they just weren't quoted in there although I thought they were. I figured the paragraph spacing was enough to point that out but I guess not. She was the one preaching. You're the one being extreme about sugar intake. Sweet is…

Its 9 grams, if you're really going to cry over that, you must live on a very strict diet. But you sir are very awesome indeed for doing what works for you. But If you/anyone eat yogurts(lord only knows how many items have a sugar in them "natural" or not) of any kind you've likely eaten some form of half natural/half…

Eh its debateable, suppose it depends on who you're asking but from what I know. Excess proteins that aren't absorbed into the body, usually pass with your urine. And I think some doctor or another somewhere said that excessive amounts of protein puts a strain on your kidneys to process it, but honestly, if you're building…

I use homeworkouts, being an independent beachbody coach and all, i have a large variety of workouts that cover my cardio needs, at varying intensitiy levels. :) Same with weight lifting, the only times I head to the gym is if I want to do one of my p90x lifting routines with heavier weights then I have at home or if there…

Good job, one step at a time you'll get there! :) I know i did my adjustments over time, a few major ones from the start (like salt and sugar being cut out completely at the start) but thats when I came in really hardcore because I was under the mind set that I can die at any moment but eventually i learned how to lose…

Wolfena is right. Music can help a lot. Either listening to it just before you workout or while you're working out and just like she said, changing your routine might also help as well. exercise should be fun as well. I know we all have some workout we dont' like because its tough and pushes us but when its fun and you'rer…

You know you can't completely deplete the body of sugars. That and sugar in Shakeology is minimal at best anyway and is natural, Considering its made with mostly fruits and vegetables. Its even been recently certified to have a lower GI score than Apples as well. http://images.beachbody.com/pdf/Shakeology_LowGI.pdf If…

Including green tea or black tea (if we're talking about actual tea bags and what not) without a bunch of sugar/crem added to them, are in fact pretty good. green tea is great in the antioxidant department. But it is said that green tea helps with weight loss as well. i'ver never drank squash so I have no idea about that.

typically 4oz of chicken is around 100 calories if i remember correctly.

The problem is you're thinking about it in long terms. The secret to anything is to take small steps. Insted of thinking about how its a year to get rid of whatever weight you have, make goals insted. When I first started out at 440lbs, my goal off the bat was to lose 200lbs. That was maybe over a year and half or more…

You should drink water insted of gatorade. So aim for at least 10 cups of water regularly per day. Gatorade may help athletes that need to replenish electrolytes but when you think about it from a dieting stand point, you're just taking in sugars you don't want while losing weight. He is completely wrong about not taking a…
