Insanity Month 2 ONLINE?
Hi all. Not that I'm cheap, but I cannot afford any DVDS to workout at home right now. My son was recently diagnosed with T-1 Diabetes and that is where all our extra money is going. I found all of Insanity's month one on youtube, but cannot find the workouts to month 2 on there. Does or has anyone viewed month 2 workouts…

The New Rules Lifting for Women
I've heard a lot of good things about this book and program. A few questions: I do all my workouts at home with my free weights, resistance band, and kettle bells. I have elliptical and treadmill. I also do my DVDs I own. I cannot afford a gym membership. Currently I only have 3-10 lbs weights and 10lbs and 15lbs kettle…

Focus and New motives

What's your Favorite Free Workout?

Fat Free Zucchini Brownies
These are yummy and taste a little more like chocolate if you have semi sweet chocolate chips. I added 1/3 cup to this recipe and made them good, but there is fat in chocolate chips. Not sure what the nutrition with the chips are added, but not that bad given 1/3 cup to the total recipe. My brownies I put in muffin tins…

Free Weights and Bands?
OK. I have done P90X one time through over the Summer just ending at the beginning of October. I loved my results. I have free weights and the resistance band...that's it!

Losing last 10-17 lbs...Questions
OK. I'm stalling out on and off.... I lost my mother last month and that jump started my most recent 5 lbs loss. Of course probably a depression thing or something. Now, I'm curious--- I've been at 1650 daily calorie allowance and my BMR is 1511. I exercise daily, 5-6X a week for about 45-90 min. I'm counting exercise as…

Call me Impatient...I guess.
OK. I love MFP. I've had some success since July 2012 here. I started at 1700 calories a day when I started P90X...lost inches and weight then. Bounced up to 2300 calories lost a little, not much...and then steady plateau (I guess). A week ago decided to go to the "guided" goal on MFP which states daily calories of 1670. I…

New to Insanity...and have Questions
OK. So, I did my fit test yesterday and started day 1 of Insanity today. Someone else on here posted a link to the videos online, so I got lucky to be able to stream them in order to workout. So, when people say insanity is a hybrid workout, what does that mean? I burned 376 according to my HRM today in 41 minutes, which…

help with streaming workout from youtube???
OK. I'm not trying to be cheap, but I started doing insanity from workout sites or youtube on the web. Sometimes its wonderful and plays straight through, but today...another story! A 45 min workout was 75 min, and I still had 10 min of the workout to go. Is there any trick to getting it to not time out? We do have DSL and…

Watching Exercise Videos on Laptop and Working out?
OK. So, I have just that question for those of you who have done this. How do you do it? I've found some good workouts online, but have always done my workouts from DVDs.

Percentage of Body Fat?
OK. I'm curious is 27 % body fat horrible? I went to just google calculating body fat and came up with 26.83% and rounded up from there. I'm 172 lbs and still have some to lose, but I wanted to be out of the "acceptable"...is that a horrible word? Not sure why I'm taking it as horrible. LOL! thanks

Why am I so hungry still?
OK. I've been eating between 2000-2200 calories a day based on my TDEE minus 20% reduction. I have figured the eating on a moderate to strenuous activity, but I'm really wondering if this is enough?

Strange Question for all women out there
Here goes....Lately, I've noticed that I've lost in places I didn't really want to lose (my boobs). I'm still like a 38 - 40 around but the cup, probably a B instead of a C, maybe even smaller :( I'm 173 and losing inches everywhere. I feel like I look like one of those major runners that are really flat chested. Anyone…

Moderate vs. Strenuous Activities/Exercise???
OK. So, just curious what's everyone's definition of the activity level when your figuring out your TDEE and then the daily calories you need? Is it based on calories burned or how often you exercise? Or is it something else? I know I'm getting fitter, but my calories burned are lower during many of my exercise workouts. I…

Butts and Thighs Really?

Yoga X and Breathing Question
OK. Yoga X is not my favorite workout of the P90X program, but I have to do it when I have it scheduled. I've noticed at times, I feel light headed and not sure why?

Embarrassing Question
OK. So, eating the right carbs...fruit, veggies (salad), beans (pintos)... Do they cause you to have a huge amount of gas? Do you feel bloated and feel like you have to go potty all the time and can't? LOL! I feel like I should be cleaned out, but am not! Does this change after a while? Today, I've eaten all good…

HELP....
OK. Should I be eating my TDEE or my daily when using the scooby site? I recalculated two weeks ago and was eating the TDEE and lost four pounds the first week. I'm a moderate exerciser for the most part. I do exercise daily sometimes 6-7 times a week, but for intensity reasons, I guess I fall into the moderate. I was…
