I have about 25 lbs to go as well! Feel free to add me as a friend. We can help each other =)

Agree!

Whoa, thank you all for the responses!! Seems like the right thing may be to just get back on track with my regular schedule! =) That sounds more fun anyway!

Thanks everyone! Super helpful

Nice! Thanks!

Awesome! I'll try it!

Typically my workout routine is to walk or jogg stairs over lunch break (for about 30-45 min) and at home I work out in the evenings 30-60 minutes. I do kettlebells, elliptical and I've recently been doing BeachBody Slim in 6

I'm 5' 51/2" 150 lbs 27 years old ... I think I'm eating enough :/

Thank you!!! My diet is typically eggs in the morning - fruit for a snack - veggies and protein for lunch - dinner is typically veggies and protein -milk and fruit at night .... and then I sneak in the occasional fiber bar, bagel chips... I'm sure my diet could be a heck of a lot better... but it's definitely improving!

Dawn - Yep, I'm eating back my exercise calories. Saxmaniace - Awesome advice, thank you!

Thanks nmb0717 - Maybe I will upp my calories just a bit at a time and see what happens!

I'm wondering the same thing about the activity level... I do exercise often. I have a HRM, but sometimes I wonder if I'm not eating enough. If it gets unbearable I do get up and eat... I just feel so bad eating in the middle of the night! Seems so pointless. I'm not hungry before I go to bed. I wish I could just make it…

OMG ... THIS!!!

It depends on when I exercise. Most often I exercise after work around 6-7 ish. This can sometimes mess with my sleep. On nights where I have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep I just take a benaydrl - works like a charm every time. I have to get my 8 hours! Good luck!

My stats are pretty close to yours and I typically burn around 200 calories.

Today is my first day of week 3. It's a love/hate relationship... I really hate it, but feel like such a badda$$ when I'm done! Looking forward to seeing the results!

I wish I had a calorie free piece of chocolate for every time I felt that way!! ;) It's normal to feel that way I think. It's how you deal with it that matters. I seriously just talk myself through the bad times and repeat to myself that if I keep doing what I'm doing change is going to happen! ... I woke up one day ...…

I'm 5'6" and I have my calorie goal set to 1600 calories a day. I do eat most of my exercise calories back. I typically net anywhere from 1300-1600 calories a day. I have lost almost 50 lbs in a little over a year and can see a HUGE difference. I think you need to allow more than a month to see big changes. Congrats on the…

Awesome ... thank you. It sounds like that is right where I need to be as well!

So do not plug in my exercise calories correct? Just stick with these number?

Not dumb at all =) http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/insanity.do

Thank you! This was helpful... it gave me 1916

That's what I'm afraid of - That 1600 is just too high, but the Insanity is requiring more energy from me and I'd like to stick with it.

Thank you all! I will calculate my TDEE and subtract 20%... I will make sure to eat all my calories.. I love when things are simple! =)

I need to make sure I'm doing this some days I finish under... only by 100 or so, but maybe those 100 calories could make a big difference!

I am currently netting 1300-1500 after exercise. Yes, Insanity says 1800, but I wasn't sure If that included my exercise calories. I just upped my calories to 1800... but I enter my calories from exercise in MFP... so I was worried that would be eating too much.

I'm a bit confused on what I should be doing... any input welcome. I calculated how many calories I should be eating using insanity's calculations. It said I should be eating 1800/day. I chose a moderately active level since I do insanity. Does this mean I should eat 1800 and NOT eat exercise calories back or should I add…

Hello there! I started Insanity Tuesday Feb 5. The first 5 days into Insanity I was EXTREMELY sore, but now I feel hardly any pain! Even though the workouts are the hardest thing I've ever done they do seem to get easier every day. Looking forward to reading about everyone's progress and takes on the Insanity program.…

I feel the same way! Feel free to add me. =)
