calories over a day or over a week?
Just wondering how everyone tracks their calories. I like to bank mine so that I can be over on some days and under on some while staying within my goal. Is this going to hurt my weight loss?

Spartacus workout versus Insanity?
I have completed Insanity 2X and done it once with a P90X hybrid. I just saw the Spartacus workout and was wondering how are they different? Is it worth the investment? I am currently spinning, doing LiveFit with Jamie Eason, running, and Body Pump but would like something else every once in a while. Any opinions would be…

with only 45 min, do you lift or cardio?
I have been running short on time lately and was wondering if it is more beneficial to cardio or lift if I only have 45 minutes to workout? My goal is fat loss and I do both most days but sometimes you just don't have the time to do both, which do I choose?

when is enough really enough?
I started this journey 2 years ago at 5'4" 190 lbs. I worked by a** off 6 days a week and logged everything to get down to 120. I went through 3 month plateaus, soreness, hunger, you name it. But now I don't know if I should keep going or maintain. This is my ultimate goal but my first utimate goal was 125 and I keep…

Energy decline, why?
I have worked out 6 days a week for about 2 years now and have lost a lot of weight. This week I just am not feeling it. I have done Insanity, p90x, ran, Turbo fire, HIIT, etc... and usually have tons of energy. This week I can barely muster up the strength to do p90x 3x. Plus, it is usually hard to get my heart rate up…

Pull up NSV
I did 2 pull ups on my own!!! I jumped up to the bar, lowered my self down and pulled back up, then did it again. I have to admit I screamed "Yoo hoo!!!" I have been doing p90x for 130 days now. I did it all the way through 1 time and now am doing a hybrid with Insanity. I use a push-up helper to help me do the pull ups…

Can someone please explain IF (intermitten fasting) to me?
I have been doing some research on IF (intermitten fasting) and was hoping to find someone who is currently doing this who could help me understand how it works and give me an example schedule. I have read the benefits and the drawbacks and want to try this way of eating. If it helps, I am a 39 yr old female who is 5'4"…

5X5 with only dumbbells?
I have been doing Chalene extreme but would like to do 5X5s. Can someone please tell me if I can do them without a bar bell and weights? I have up to 20 lb dumbbells. Is this enough or do I need more weight? Also what is the best 5X5 workout?

Can I take a week off for vacation and not gain weight?
I have been woring out 6+ days a week for over a year now. I did turbo fire, chalene extreme, and just finished Insanity. Along with Insanity, I ran and lifted weights. My body is in the best shape of years (I am 39 yrs old) and I do not want to lose that. I am going on vacation for about 10 days and can do some running on…

Hep!!! I can't burn any calories
I have been doing Insanity and am on the last week. Today, I did Cardio Abs, Max Cardio Intervals, and Chalene Extreme Lean 1 and barely burned 500 calories. WTF!!! I was panting and doubled over trying to catch my breath and my HRM read 124 bpm. WHAT?!? Can that be right? I know that since the beginning my resting heart…

HRM calories vs calories calculated with average heart rate
So I have been working out very hard doing the second month of Insanity. My HRM says I only burn 400-500 calories for a 55-60 minute workout. This seemed so low to me because there is sweat everywhere and I'm so exhausted afterwards that I can't go anymore. I noticed that when I am doing push-ups, planks, push-up jacks,…

Help! I'm starving
I don't know what is wrong with me but all of a sudden I am starving all the time. I have been on MFP (for the second time) for 80 days and have lost 11 lbs which i am proud of and through all that time was never hungry until this week. I am doing Insanity and am on the recovery week so I am burning even less calories when…

I logged snow shoveling as exercise and I am proud of it.
Yesterday we had a huge snow storm in Michigan and the snow was up to my knees (probably 16" or more) and I shoveled my whole driveway by myself. I burned 530 calories. I usually do insanity and lift weights or run but after the shoveling (I wore my HRM), I only had the energy to do Insanity so I logged the shoveling…

Eating all my left over calories today...or should I?
I am trying something new. I am eating all my leftover calories from this week today. I have about 1100 left over calories from this week and about 1200 to start with. This gives me 2297 for today. This still leaves me with my MFP correct deficit for the week. I was going to try the "calorie spike" method because I am at a…

Calories for Insanity suggested does not equal calories burn
Okay so I did the calorie calculations for insanity and it was 1900 cal a day. At this current point I eat about 1600 calories with about 600-700 burned and am losing about 1/2 to 1 lbs a week. I wore my HRM when I did the insanity workout (day 1) and burned 425 calories. According to MFP, if I add that to my 1200 base…
