Struggling to eat enough already - what am I supposed to eat
Okay, so here's my problem! MFP says I should eat 1220 cals per day. On average I only get up to this amount once a week. I struggle to eat this many calories. I physically cannot fit that much food in my body! I have recently started Insanity, and should now be eating 1600 cals per day! How on earth can I do that if I…

Completing Insanity - T.SHIRT
I live in Australia and am currently doing the Insanity programme. I have just been looking at the form that you fill in when you've finished to go with your before and after shots, but the address boxes don't have the option for 'country'. There are quite a few things that I am not able to do on 'Beachbody' because I…

HELP - What am I doing wrong now????
Right - I'm starting to get a little disheartened! Over the last year I've lost 49lb - didn't particulary find it that difficult at all. I then decide that I need to tone up, so I buy Insanity! I'm coming to the end of week 2 and I am absolutely loving it! In the first week I put on a pound - so I thought could be I'm not…

Insanity Fitness Test - Enough Calories????
I have only eaten 386 calories so far today and have just 'attempted' my fitness test on Insanity - I've had to stop 4 exercises short of the end as I was feeling sick, dizzy, couldn't see properly, couldn't even stand up properly! I didn't expect to breeze through it, but I didn't think I'd be on the verge of a full blown…

Eating exercise calories
I've gone for a year NOT eating my exercise calories and I've successfully lost 48lb, but as I now only have 4lbs left to go, I'm finding it hard to shed those last couple! So, today I decided to eat back my extra exercise calories to see if this works - but I feel I have really overeaten even though I still have 95…

Protein drinks - Australia
I've been thinking about protein drinks lately as I'm just about to start the 'Insanity' programme, I don't think I'll get through it without them!!! But, I was very nervous to just pick one off the shelf. So many people have said how some of them taste disgusting! I didn't want to pay out all that money just to find out…

Using a mat for Insanity???
I'm just about to start Insanity (still waiting for it to turn up - I live in Australia) and I was told it's best to use a mat to cushion your knees/ankles/back. I had a look on the website and thought they were quite expensive - could I use a 6mm (.25") yoga mat? Would that still have the same affect? Hope everyone has a…

Logging insanity exercise
I haven't started 'Insanity' yet, still waiting for it to come in the post - I live in Australia, so it's taking a while!!! But when I do start, do I just enter the amount of calories burned in the exercise tab - I'm planning on using a heart monitor watch thingy, so it will tell me how many I've burned? I'm assuming that…

Praise the Lord - it's a miracle!!!
There is hope! When I was at my heaviest, I was 185lbs, and the backs of my thighs and my butt was covered in cellulite :cry: I am now down to 138lbs and when I looked at the back of my thighs in the mirror the other day, there is just a very small amount on my butt, but my thighs are 'smooth'!!! :bigsmile: I have used no…

Before and after pics!
Before and after pics! This was January 2010 weighing around 185lbs. This was December 2010 in my 'old' trousers! This one is my new jeans against my old jeans - quite a difference. Old jeans - 34" waist, new jeans - 28" waist! Now weighing 139lbs. It's not always plain sailing, but all the hard work does pay off in the…

TurboFire!
Is anyone using the "TurboFire" dvd plan? I was thinking about doing the "Insanity" plan, but then I spotted the "TurboFire" one and thought that one might be better for me. I'm not sure - any advice would be great! Not sure if the "Insanity" plan may be a bit too much for me. It's a lot of money to pay if I find it too…
