Insanity and Muscle Pain
I just started Insanity yesterday and did the Fit Test and this morning I could barely move. Every muscle in my body hurts. I've been going to the gym for the past 3 months and have never felt like this. I know it's a GOOD thing that I'm sore because I'm targeting all of my muscles and will hopefully see results with…

When you prelog workouts, do you stick to it and do them?
I've heard that a trick to sticking to a workout routine is to prelog the workout. I don't know if this would work for me or not, but I'm willing to try it! The only thing is, I use an HRM so the prelog would be a rough estimate of calories burned and I would have to log back on post workout and adjust it to reflect…

Can not drinking enough water hinder weight loss success?
I have been wondering this. I honestly probably only drink maybe 6-7 cups at the most a day. I know I'm supposed to drink 8 but it's just so hard. I am wondering if this could be causing me to lose weight so slowly. Also if I ate something high in sodium and didn't drink my 8 glasses, could that be causing the pounds to…

I am addicted....to bad carbs
I am back on MFP after being gone for awhile. I am sick and tired of sabotaging my body with bad food and not exercising. I am absolutely addicted to bad carbs. I love bread of all kind, pizza, pasta, etc. I just crave it constantly. I used to be able to fill up on salads and veggies, but I have no desire to eat them…

How many calories do you net a day?
My goal is to net around 1360. With exercise and if I don't eat all of my calories, I normally net between 1200-1360. I am not really losing any weight doing this. I am at the lowest weight I have been in years and I know I am in a plateau. I would love to be 115, but with lifting weights and doing Brazil Butt Lift, I…

Should net calories (after exercise) be below 1200?
I know that my goal calories is 1300. What I am confused about is whether or not my net calories should be 1300. I try to exercise at least 4 times a week, so on days that I exercise, should I really pay attention to the net calories and try to keep them at at least 1200? On days I exercise I sometimes only net 900. Is…

FEEDBACK PLEASE!
So I started working out reguarly (about 4 times a week) and eating just at or slightly below my daily caloric intake two weeks ago and since that time I have managed to put on 4 pounds. I know four pounds is not a lot, but to me (5'0) and only 4 pounds from my goal weight, it sucks! I am well aware that most of it is…

So I just started using my elliptical again and I have no idea how to interpret the distance setting. It just says a bunch of numbers. It doesn't tell me miles or KM, nothing. It will just like 25984 after a 30 minute workout. What does that mean? Does anybody know?? The brand of elliptical is IMAGE and I've had it for…

Heck, I can barely reach…

Insanity and The Primal Blue Print
So I'm reading the book, "The Primal Blue Print" which is all about changing your eating habits to cut down on carbs (50-100 grams of carbs a day for "effortless" weight loss and 100-150 carbs a day to maintenance). I love the book. It's extremely interesting to me and informative (Love the science behind it all!) but I'm…
