Awesome feedback! I'm so happy to hear that I'm on the right track with Insanity. I'll keep at it strong then. I do get restless at times, when I'm not sure if I'm being effective. So you all have really helped me keep my mind focused on progression and finishing!

Bread is your culprit throughout your day. Try to find breads with less calories or eat 1 slice vs 2. If you eat smaller meals throughout the day with plenty of water, you should get on the right track.

I'm a Mac and iPhone baby!!!! I guess since I got the first iPhone and I've updated every time...it's just odd using any other platform. I'm sold on the battery life of the iPhone...Great apps and most that matter are free :) I log only MFP from my app 80% of the time. If you don't mind charging your battery more than once…

I realize I'm worst than I realized with updating with challenges. I'm so sorry team...but here are my results. I've completed them all for the month :) These numbers have been achieved since I've starting Insanity. Great challenge!!!!

I'm learning men are quite different. They don't take to nagging at all. Just encourage him for making an effort and send him an article that speaks about calories needed to lose weight. 1 meal a day is starving him and his body is storing what he does eat as fat at this point. After seeing the results of me eating…

I'm been on Loestrin 24Fe...I actually maintained my weight and lost weight on this particlar BC. I know this for a fact because I stopped a week before my wedding and this I gained 7lbs in my dress :( Anyways, this BC had worst side effects than weight gain...Inbox me for more details.

I'm ready! I'm starting Insanity on Monday, 7/25 and this is definitely INSPIRING!!!!

Congrats! You look great!!!!!! Keep inspiring us!!!

DITTO! I'm totally inspired to have a healthier lifestyle and I can't eat a thing before I check to see if it'll put me in the read.... I definitely know I'm an addict because I don't like to cook and today I just bought 3 recipe books so that I'll be the queen in my kitchen :)

Truly inspiring Rav! Great job! How does Shakeology work?

Hmmm...Ok I'll check again! My hubby heard the same thing. Maybe we were in shock from the intensity...LOL!

He mentions it often when doing jumping and squats

Tomato Basil Hummus sounds tasty....hmmmm

Thank you all so much for the recommendations! I bought the Athenos brand. Next time I'll give Sabra a try...

I just finished the Cardio Kick Start. I wear my Polar FT7 HRM in addition to the arm HRM. EA actually underestimates my calories burned by more than 100+ points.

Red Peppers seems popular! I'm nervous though. Maybe I can sneak a taste test prior to purchase :wink:

WOW! I didn't realize hummus was so popular! To all the garlic lovers...you all have a strong stomach :laugh:

I'm wanting to go back to a C...but my main goal is to keep them upright :)

Measuring cups, pressure cooker, blender.....I guess I should invest in a food scale now :)

If I go to bed at a decent hour (like 11pm), then my natural time clock is set to wake up at 5:30am. I'm not a morning person, so this was very odd for me. If I go to bed late (by 2am), then I tend to sleep til 9am. I typically drink a 2 cups of water prior to bed, so I think its natural for me to get up for the bathroom…

Using Polar FT4 - calculate calories and keeps up to 99 sessions. The chest straps helps it keep a more accurate reading. And its waterproof.

I used this product 10 years ago and it gave me really bad jitters. I'm not a fan of diet pills, so I'd personally advice against it. Invest in a great workout program instead for the money. But if you insist on the pill, make sure you eat, eat, eat. Because I wasn't taking in enough calories, I was lightheaded and…

Thanks Anubis! This really helped me out...and with you confirming I'll need the pullup bar in the first 30 days, Insanity is looking more like the best choice. Question: What was your fitness level at the start of Insanity? Did you have to modify moves?

I want both :~ The Fat Shredder Phase 1 plan sounds like it could do it.. yet the cardio interval training works too...Still confused :(

Awesome testimony! Will I need the pullup bar in the first 30 days?

I smile when chilling with the hubs and my baby boy (Pekingese)...just spending quality time is the sweetness of my day

Week 1 Update: I was sick for most of this past week, so I've decided to reevaluate my goals going forward. See below!

1. Yes I eat them back 2. Yes, I've lost more than what MFP has predicted for my first week.

I'd say look at the entire picture. Calories are more than the number noted on the nutrition label. If you're foods contain more sodium and sugar, then your metabolism will not respond that same as taking in more fiber and protein. So make sure your intake is proportionate to what your body needs to see results.
