Fat girl started insanity!
I kinda got discouraged by some of mfpals, but they were just trying to help. So here it is. I did my fit test and day one today, and I feel great. I am so proud of myself. Yes I did have to stop, and drank 4 20oz bottles of water, but I can do it. So to all my pals out there, if you want to try it go for it. The point of…

My new attitue
I have been on here for a few months, and been successful. BUT I became obsessed with counting calories. It became very annoying to everyone around me, and myself. I have, in the last couple of weeks, decided to chill. I got a pinched nerve in my back while exercising. I could hardly move, without pain. So exercise was out…

I have lost 8.6 pounds in 4 weeks of insanity
I just wanted to tell everybody about my success. It may not seem like alot to some people, but I am extremely happy. The first two and a half weeks the scale wasn't moving, but since then the pounds have been falling off. I'm sure some of it it water that my muscles were holding onto, but still. I am ready for recovery…

Water weight- is it?
I have been doing insanity (week 4), and on Fri day when I weighed in I had gained a pound. Yesterday way my rest day, and this morning I had lost 4 pounds. I weighed three different times ( like I always do), and still 4 pounds. Would I lose that much water weight from just resting? This is the first week that I didn't…

I would like you opinion, Please! (Insanity)
I am considering buying insanity, but I am concerned that I won't be able to do it. I can't afford to waste money. So I want to ask the people who have done it or are doing it. I think I am still considered obese, but I workout everyday(for about 3 months now). I have been doing taebo for two days, then 30 day shred. If I…

KFC fried chicken cals can't be right

Does mfp give same calories burned for all weights?
I did Jillian micheals 30 day shred lvl1 and 2 and my hrm said 703, but mfp says 424( or close to it). Is mfp figuring in my weight, age, and height? Or should I trust my hrm?

This Sucks!
I am gonna quit for a couple of days. It seems that all I do now is worry about calories, is my serving size right, is my hrm right, should I eat my exercise cals, or no. Every day for about 2 months ,except 2 day when the power was out because of the tornado, but I constantly thought about it. I have been doing 30 shred…

Do fat people burn more calories during exercise?
I got a hrm, then returned it for one with a chest strap. They measured the same. About 400 calories during 30 day shred and 850 during taebo. I am 5'3" and 181 pounds. But I saw girls who only burn 150 during shred. Can there really be that big of a difference? One more question. Since I am obese, is it ok to burn 1000…

HRM help, Please!
So I finally got a hrm. A cheap one $30 at Walmart. I have used it 2 days, and it it pretty close to the mfp calories burned. So can I trust it? During Taebo I check my heart rate 3 times and it was 150 and above. I am 29 and weigh 181 pounds and female. Does that sound right? I just dont want to overestimate, but I'm…

What foods can I eat with low sodium?
I was shocked when I saw how much sodium I had yesterday. I've been down because I'm not losing weight. So I took ya'lls advice and turned the sodium counter on. I had 4000 mg of sodium just yesterday. I didn't realize that my turkey had 1000mg of sodium by itself. Please help me. I know I won't stick with this is I have…

I feel really guilty eating the calories I burned during exe
I read that I need to make my net cals 1200, which means I need to eat back all my cals I burned. I know I'm not a doctor , but I feel like doing that defeats the purpose. At first it gave me the desire to exercise, but now I feel disgusted with myself. And can I drink back my cals?

Has anyone else tried shirataki tofu noodles?
I just tried them tonight, and the fishy smell really threw me off. They would probably be better with a better sauce. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make them edible? I just hate to not try to work with them, because the calorie count compared to pasta is incredible. Please help!

Drug addict turned food addict-anyone else out there?
I gained 20 pounds over the winter. Ive been on here for 20 days, but I'm not really seeing results. Its pretty discouraging. I'm wondering if I should really eat back all the calories I get from exercising, and if the mfp is correct on the calories I burn. I know that I didnt gain it overnight, but it is a lot harder…
