My husband has one but he can't tell how many calories he burns. Unless it has a setting it won't tell you. Have you tried google? Maybe there is a formula...

One 1lb a week is reasonable. make sure that you write everything down and keep track of your proteins and carbs. make sure the proteins are lean: Chicken or Turkey Breast, Lean beefs like pork tenderloin or top sirloin, salmon or tilapia, etc. Good carbs such as 100% whole wheat breads and muffins, 100% whole wheat pasta,…

Hello!!! That's great!!! I have a coaching site for fitness that can also help you if you want. Here's my coaching website: www.teambeachbody.com/Stepmom1. Welcome to the boards!!:smile:

Well, I found out that Allergies can cause your heart rate to go high. Allergy sufferers have a faster heart rate than those who do not have it. I was concerned because my heart rate was going over 200 when I was doing intense plyo workouts. Then my husband told me that a friend of his went to the doctor and was told that…

Okay, I did my workout early today. I did Plyometric Cadio Circuit and burned 329.9 calories and 42 grams of fat!! Yay, me!!

I will be working out at 6:30pm!! Today is Cardio Power Resistance. Love that one!! Woo-hoo! lets burn some calories!

Tomorrow I have Cardio Power and Resistance!! Woo-hoo! Can't wait to see how I do with that one!!

We did Upper Body Weight Training and it was awesome!!

Hey, did Plyometric Cardio Circuit again yesterday and burned 354.5 calories and 46 grams of fat. I weighed myself today and no change in weight. But that's okay. Its only been one week and TOM is coming so you know how our weight fluctuates when that happens. Bad timing for me!! LOL

Welcome and good for you!! I wish you all the success in the world!!!

Well, Pure Cardio was BRUTAL:!! Yikes!! non stop, boom, boom, boom!! Yikes and double yikes! Of course you HAVE to stop at time stop at times to take quick breaks, but my goodness!! When we were done and on the floor I told my husband: "I sure hope this is worth it!" He started laughing. We know it will. Burned 323…

Hey, good for you!! Believe me, I 've done 3 1/2 round of P90X but I will NOT do another round of Insanity alone! :laugh: I will do a hybrid of P90X and Insanity once I am done and of course take a full week's break to recovery!

Insanity is VERY intense in a short amount of time. At first the workouts are short no more than 30 minutes or so. The next month, they get longer 45 minutes to 1 hr. I am only on week 1, day #6 today. So far so. They are so fast that before you know you are done. But even though they are short, they are extremely intense.

5 meals... 3 meals and 2 snacks

Cool. Thanks for the info! I don't feel so bad now... I am not a fast runner lol

Thank you Joeysgirl!! Great job! Wow, made it to month 2 already! Can't wait to get there! :wink: This is definitely an amazingly challenging workout. I am glad that Shaun T starts us intensely but at the same time in a short time! I can't imagine starting these workouts they way they are for a full hour for starters. But…

Hello and congratulations!!! What workout programs are you doing? Just wondering. :smile: As women, our body weight fluctuates every month so I would say its normal. Especially when TOM comes around, I also gain like 2 lbs of all that hated water excess and other stuff that's in our bodies. It goes away as well once its…

Body weight fluctuates all the time, especially for us women. Don't trust the scale solely. Also measurements and the way your clothes fit are a very good indicative of weight loss and maintenance. The numbers on the weight scale do not always accurately indicate or show what is happening underneath our skin. Don't fret,…

Great ladies!! Thank you for your replies. jowans24: I found Chalean not much of a challenge after doing P90X. Is good for someone who is starting out. But if you have done P90x, well Chalean may seem a piece of cake. It did to me! :wink: Insanity if VERY demanding extreme cardio. It has 3 intervals of speed, but once you…

Yes,the worst thing we can do is to compare ourselves with others. You have been uniquely made and NO ONE is like you! Take it one day at a time, one workout at a time. Do the best you can every day and don't worry about the rest. Be healthy and happy and content with yourself. Nobody, even the "seemingly" looking models…

Today is Cardio Recovery... I am looking forward to it!! woo-hoo!

Done and done with my 2nd workout! I felt like screaming doing the first move!! The power jumps! yikes!!! Burned 324 calories and 42 grams of fat. Woo-hoo! Digging deeper each day!

Is workout time!! Digging really deep!!

Well, my workout # 2 starts at 6:30PM EST!! Can't wait!! Is hard but is something different so I look forward to something new! Lets bring it!

If you are loosing muscle mass that means that you are not eating enough protein, dear. Is that what you figured with the Insanity formula? I am supposed to eat 2,200 BUT I wanted to loose like 5 pounds or so so I subtracted 500 calories like Shaun T suggested so I am at 1,700. I am going to monitor myself and if I am…

Hey, Jess!! Look at you!!! I didn't know you were here!! :laugh: This is so fun!! I needed this fitness pal thing to help me with the meal menus for Insanity. I like their diet but is a little different approach from P90X so I wanted to make sure I was right on track with this routine. I don't want to loose energy during…
