Insanity for 4wks, haven't lost any weight :(
I know the typical, "You could be gaining muscle", blah blah..also read up about how your muscles swell during the beginning of new workouts for the first couple of weeks. WELL, that held me over for about 2-3wks, but moving into Week 4 and not losing a single pound (and trust me, I could lose AT LEAST 20) is extremely…

transitioning from eating too little to eating cal goal..
Hello everyone, So, I never have had a problem with working out. I really enjoy it and after going through P90X3, I feel stronger than ever and am really motivated to get into the best shape of my life (& if it matters, I could stand to lose 20-30lbs) BUT, although I've gotten stronger, I haven't slimmed down nearly as…

Flat Feet, help please!!
I have severely flat feet - I only used to start to feel pain during work, but it was pretty tolerable. Then I started kickboxing, and they would consistently bother me during squats, to the point where my legs weren't hurting, but my feet were KILLING me, so I had to stop to shake them out. Now, they seem to hurt during…

Quick, Filling Breakfast Ideas?
My mom always told me that with the bowls I use to eat cereal, I probably eat 2 servings, not just one. Well, after seeing a box I bought had 12 servings and I only finished it in a couple of days, I think she's right, LOL. But that was the quickest thing for me to eat... and I imagine if I do only consume a cup of cereal,…

Eating into your extra "earned" calories?
Just wanted an opinion/advice - do you all usually eat into your "earned" calories that you gain from working out? Or still stick to your minimal calorie intake? I only started this week, but I've been eating into my "earned" calories - not all of them, but maybe half of them. Although, my calorie intake is set to 1200cal,…

Heart Rate Monitors/Calorie Trackers?
Hey everyone! Quick question.. Does anyone know a good heart rate monitor AND calorie tracker? I'd like to be able to accurately track my calories when I'm doing workouts.. especially things like kickboxing & P90X. Even when using equipment that "tells" you.. I know it all varies based on your conditioning. Any help would…

just signed up :)
hey everyone! a friend referred to me to this website, and I'm so excited about it! I've always been "chubby" my whole life - it killed my confidence when I was growing up. I never thought I was pretty enough, good enough.. I imagined every aspect of my life would be better if I was "skinny." Well - now I've been with my…
