MAX Insanity!
Hello all... I haven't checked in for a while... last week was my recovery week and I was on holidays so workouts were not as consistent. :ohwell: I just started my second month of Insanity on August 5th. The first workout is a doozy! Its a full hour, and I burned over 550 calories! :drinker: But the second and third were…

Calorie Burn
Hi again everyone, I'm wondering if anyone else wears a HRM while doing their workouts. I have been using mine since March, so I've used it since I've started Insanity for sure. For those who use them, what's your typical calorie burn like? For me: Height - 5'8.5" Weight - 158lb Age - 30 Average burn - 330 cals I was…

The Nutrition Stuff
Hi all, I'm into week 3 of the Insanity workouts, and have been doing the workouts daily as scheduled... but honestly I have not followed the nutrition portion at all. That's not to say that I don't continue to eat healthy foods, and make sure to include lots of proteins, healthy fats, and carbs... I just didn't go so far…

Hey, pear-shaped women...
Just a question to those "pears" out there... has anyone experienced this: After losing weight (i'm down about 20 lbs since joining MFP) I've noticed that my upper body is starting to look a little boney (muscular, but boney) while my lower body (i.e. hips and thighs... the trouble zones) doesn't seem to see much change.…

Silly Question about 30DS
Hi all, I know a lot of people out there are doing the 30DS work out and seeing great results! It inspired me to try it... I'm happy to say that I've made it through to level 3, day 5 or 6... I love the workouts and also the fact that they're quick! My question is... in the level 3 workout Jillian says at some point "you…

Sugar Intake
I recently changed my settings to include counting Sugar in my food diary. I was a little shocked that I go over the recommended level by my morning snack almost every day! How is this limit estimated or calculated? And I know refined sugars are bad, but is it still as bad if my sugars are mostly natural (i.e. from…

Pot Lucks at Work are the Worst!
I just want to vent a little about the unnecessary gorging that happens when people plan a pot luck at work! We've had 2 in the last week (1 baby shower, and 1 farewell party for the lady going on Mat leave) and another at the end of May (which doesn't feel like that long ago) and I find it so difficult to keep my will…

The Best Scale
Hi there... I've decided that I can't really trust my home scale anymore. Its a cheap-o Ikea purchase from years ago, and it tends to be very unreliable. I'm looking for suggestions for a new scale - I know there are many types of features you can get in these fancy new digital scales... how reliable are these readings?…
