Hasu

Did wicked awesome today! I'm still feeling it all these hours later though o.O First Week! = + = + = + = Weekly Goal: 3500 Cal Mon: 599 [Insanity Fit Test and Power 90 Sculpt] Tue: 983 [Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit and Island Girl Hula Abs and Buns] Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur: calories burned…

Bummed I didn't crack 600 today but I was a little sluggish this morning. I'll just have to make it up during the rest of the week ^_^ First Week! = + = + = + = Weekly Goal: 3500 Cal Mon: 599 [Insanity Fit Test and Power 90 Sculpt] Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how they were burned)…

Ooooooh this looks like it might be fun. I'm going to give this a try... I'm guessing that we just come back here and edit this same post throughout the week? First Week! = + = + = + = Weekly Goal: 3500 Cal Mon: calories burned (how they were burned) Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how…

Everything in moderation people. I have NEVER drank those super super sized sodas but what happens one day if I really REALLY wanted to and they're against the law in NYC? lol - Its just silly. They stepped in to make vending machines in schools healthier. I could get on board there since kids aren't usually very informed…

Its good to have friends to chat to, even if its just to mourn the loss of carbs for a short time lol I've sent a request ^_^

I've got way more than 50 pounds to lose. I'm already down 55 but I still have a loooong way to go. I've got a big trip coming up in August so the next 80 days I'm going to be pushing myself and pushing hard. Feel free to add me ^_^

The doctors have no idea whats wrong with you! But I swear counting calories works and the weight will fall off... eventually lol

I got the 265 Days message a couple of days ago. So probably just under 270 at this point lol.

For me I keep my diary closed because I feel its my private business. If I have a bad day food wise, I already don't feel too great about it myself and don't want someone commenting on it when they may or may not know anything beyond the fact that I ate something I technically shouldn't have [not that there might be other…

I'm in the same boat as most everyone here. Feel free to add me!

26 Here... god I'm old lol Feel free to add me! ^_^

It's awful when family puts you down like that. I've been lucky that I haven't had to contend with that but I have found that a lot of people in general that don't closely look after their diet will laugh at you, make fun, etc. Which is why if I'm not around like minded people I won't even mention I'm counting calories or…

Perhaps I'm the oddball of the bunch but I don't like monitors with straps. I've used them in the past and just never took to them. My preference is the strapless. I usually ended up borrowing from friends etc, so I had to make due. I bought my first strapless monitor for about 30 bucks off of Amazon. Its the Mio Classic…

Ooooh, I will surely take a look at that. Thanks!

Oh yeah, no way! I told myself as soon as I was out of the 300s I was going to tackle Insanity and I've been doing it. I'm not going to lie the first 3 days my body was cryinggggggggg but after that it started to feel really good. You get tired but its so worth it. I'm telling you I'm moving faster, better, easier. I don't…

I'm eating about 1200 calories a day, I try not to go too much over that. Although its been known to happen sometimes. I'll have to look at reducing how many fats I'm eating, including carbs or at least eat better carbs. I'll have to try playing around with this and see what happens. I honestly don't like to eat the diet…

Thanks! I've been noticing that I'm moving better, stronger doing Insanity so being that I've only just finished up week two of a round one [and it *is* a 60 day program] I'm going to *try* to keep going despite my less than stellar results so far lol. I know its a whole package, diet and exercise and it all takes time but…

You might be right that its the carbs I'm eating. When looking at my weekly calorie breakdown little pie chart on the MFP App, this past week was 42% Carbs, 41% Protein and 17% Fat So I know I probably want to up my proteins but at the minute they seem to be almost evenly split with the carbs, do I just want to get it…

For me a very disappointing 55 pounds in approx 8 months. That's about 1.7 pounds per week I think. Which isn't terrible. But for so long I heard the bigger you were, the more pounds you were able to shed in the begninning and sadly I started off pretty big and I still am pretty big so I'm disappointed and discouraged…

In my 20s, anyone feel free to add me ^_^

I've no idea what my magic number weight wise will be since I've not been too small since I entered my 20s and the body changes big time from teens into 20s. I just know for my height, I'm 5'8 I'm shooting for a healthy size 8/10 and if I manage to get to a 6/8 all fine and good. I just know approx size I'd eventually like…

This thread is so inspiring! I'm 5'8 myself, so its great to see what's possible. I'm not even close to my goal weight yet but this is something that will for sure keep me going. Posted to keep track ^_^

I suggest YouTube or Netflix. I actually own the old school Power 90 and I've been doing the Sculpt Series with free weights and stuff to help shift some more of the weight I know I got to get off. They move a lot slower than Insanity but I feel like I'm getting a good workout still with the free weights. If you can't do…

I've used them in the past at the gym, etc and I really disliked using the ones with the straps. I then discovered ones that were solely the watch, no strap required and I fell in love. Some people aren't fans, but I adore them. I don't feel tripped up by the strap when really working out, doing something like really heavy…

Get a HRM, then you know exactly how many calories you're burning. I got an inexpensive one that did NOT require a strap [I absolutely hate them lol] for about 30 bucks on amazon. Best thing I ever bought.

I usually workout in the mornings but since you're going after work and might have eaten a little earlier in the day, you could do something similar to what I do. I don't like to do a intense workout with a full stomach or anything too heavy. So I usually have a protien shake to get me going, something with a fair amount…

Any and all support is appreciated, anyone feel free to add me. I've been enjoying Insanity so far. Today was the first day of week 2 and I'm still enjoying it, so a good sign. I've been reading and I know some people have done a mix/mash up of Insanity and other Beach Body programs. I've got the time at the minute and…

I'm trying to eat between 1200 and 1400 calories myself but it all depends on the day. I sometimes found myself eating under 1200 but it was very rare. I'm happy to see myself lose inches and clothes fit better but I really also need to see some weight fall off too lol. I'm hopeful that by during the second week, I'll…

Well at least no requests to get a replacement lol. That's all I'm worried about, I don't want to attempt to go through the hassle of replacing my passport early :)

Thanks!
