After that I started noticing an increase and a…

How many calories should I eat doing Insanity?

Insanity. Am I eating enough calories?
So I started Insanity a week ago and so far lost a little under a pound. For as hard as I've been working I think that's a very small weight loss. I've calculated the amount of calories your supposed to eat a day and it gave me 2550 calories. Of course I see that as WAY WAY too much to eat. I'm 5'2 150 pounds and it says…

If I dont workout I gain like crazy!
I've noticed a patern with my body. If I get on a good role of working out 2-3 days straight I can lose a pound nicely but if I take more than a day off from working out I can gain 2-3 pounds back over night and then I have to start right back over again. Its driving me crazy! Why does this keep happening? Is it water? You…
