Hello!! 11 weeks tomorrow, also my due date in june but not sure when.... How are you managing your daily input in MFP? did you change your settings (weight, goal weight, etc.)? Im not sure about changing my whole profile, but i really need to start counting my calories since i think im gaining too much weight. any advice?

I wouldn´t cut out the carbs....of course everything with the word REFINED is out, but the rest of them (whole grains, oats, quinoa and of course veggies) are necessary. Also an excess in protein i think (read, somewhere) it can cause kidney problems...I think balance between fats, proteins and carbs is the key. Im gonna…

I´m hungry too!!! and I´ve heard lots of people who became hungrier when started Insanity! Maybe its our body asking us for more fuel, don´t you think?. It´s hard to increase those calories and not feel guilty, specially when I have been counting and trying to stick to 1200 calories for the past few months with MFP

Wow!! congratulations on that! and how much did you increase your calories?

Mmm...they fit better, but they are not loose. I mean I have seen changes in my body, more toned and lean, but I´m still at 24% fat, and I weigh 136 lbs at 5´2". I have been in a plateau for months, between 141 and 136 lbs.

As for me, I´ll continue with this healthy lifestyle which I´m truly loving, to prove MYSELF and anyone else what I can do. "Discipline is making the choice between what you…

sabotage is the word!! I have a cousin a little overweight and she was telling me that she noticed how our own friends are the first ones to try to sabotage our efforts. Whenever you start loosing weight they´ll start saying "you better stop now", " you look so thin (in a bad way)", "you look sick (or yellow, or insert any…

Thank you! I will! I would understand if I was rubbing my efforts in their faces, or pointing their mistakes out, but I don´t! I just make my own decisions, try to eat healthy and exercise...but I guess watching me doing it makes them feel guilty about their choices..who knows..

Yes I wear the New Balance N4 HRM, and I've found I burn about 8-9 cals per minute, not counting warm up & cool down. The real calorie burn rate depends on a number of factors: height (im 5'2") gender ( im a girl), weight (im about 136 lbs), intensity of your workouts ( I normally kick my own *kitten*, I try not to hold…

Im a bodyrocker too!! I recently bought a HRM and I've found I burn about 8-9 cals per minute (so in a 12 min wkt that's about 96-108 calories) not couting warm up and cool down. But it's different for every person, im a 5'2" female and 136 lbs, Hope it helps!
