Insanity....should I ?
I finish work in a few weeks and I am taking some serious time out to concentrate on my fitness. One idea I had was to do the Insanity program but before I commit I would be interested to hear from anyone who may be doing it now, or has completed it. Does it work, are you happy with your results? Any comments on Insantity…

Confused now...should I eat back my exercise calories?
I am fairly new to MFP and over the last 2 weeks i have lost 3lbs, but this gets me to a weight which I always find hard to reduce. I have started exercising by aerobics, spinning classes and 30 day shred DVD every (almost!) morning..DVD that's is not the rest! I have read a few blogs where it's said that if you don't eat…

Hi All, just started today and looking for some support!
Had enough of looking in the mirror and thinking "Yuk" so I have joined the gym and found this site today - it looks great and already it's helped me keep track of just what I am eating. The iPhone app is helpful as well. I just wanted a few friends to help me along...I haven't got loads to lose but can't seem to shift…
