I've been eating right to my calorie limit but never taking advantage of the extra calories I get from exercise. I walked 35 mins today and played 90 mins of tennis.
Anyone else do the same? Once I get down a little ways I may take advantage of the extra cals but I'd like to drop a good amount of weight first.
Also - I don't trust the cals they are crediting me for exercise 100%. They seem to be way higher than normal convention.
I mean. 466 calories for just a half hour of tennis? I'm barely breaking a sweat after only 30 minutes. Seems high to me

Good times!
I always cut back the minutes I enter to make it "feel" more realistic.

Ya. I played 90 mins of tennis but only gave myself credit for 30 mins. Guess I'll try to just keep it low

Yeah, if look back in the thread you will see that many people have noticed this. Some exercises match better than others for true calorie burn but you will need to find what works best for you. After you have a month of data, crank out the simple math (throwing out all week 1 results) and see if you are losing close to what science states (3500 calories burned per pound lost). If not you know that it is either your lifestyle is incorrectly chosen or your exercise is off (assuming you are tracking calories eaten accurately).

Definitely digging this app.
Hit the 10 pound mark this morning just 15 days in somehow.
Doesn't even feel like I'm on a diet to be honest - the only thing missing from the way I used to eat is the gorging part. I was able to do hot wings with blue cheese at the bar last week with no real worries because I had eaten right the rest of that day.
Good stuff for sure and has kept me motivated to wake up every morning and walk the dog 2.5 miles around the lake.
Dig in Oats et. al. this thing works!

Another satisfied customer! Awesome job Mr. Bender stick with it man! It certainly gets tougher as you get closer to whatever your target weight is (ie those last 5lbs) but by then you should have changed your eating habits & lifestyle to the point where you can make the necessary adjustments and get down to it.

Insanity Week 1 is complete.
Some background:
*44 years old, 5'6" and 144 pounds
*Over the previous 8 weeks I lost 20 pounds
*In decent, but not great shape for my age. Was running 4 miles a day(every day), and doing elliptical for 2.5 miles about 5 days a week. Also mixed in biking and walking periodically
Insanity Thoughts and Comments (specific to me)
* This is no joke, as everyone told me. I would not recommend this to anyone who is not in at least decent shape (see above for what I was doing before I started Insanity)
* The daily work outs are very short and very intense. Longest work out has been only 42 minutes and that includes stretching
* Overall it has been a mixed bag for my performance. Some exercises I do well in, others I fail miserably (almost anything having to do with the crazy push ups I die quickly in). Oh, and my balance sucks.
Women seem built for this stuff as they did much better than the men on the video.
* I was outrageously sore the first couple of days and recovery was very slow. I almost stopped the program entirely after day three with a sore left knee. I popped a pill to make it through. If I was working, I would likely have to explain why I was walking like a mummy from being so stiff all over to my co-workers
* I can say though that today my knee is no longer sore and my recovery is much better. I even walked for about 50 minutes last night and still feel pretty good after this mornings work out
* Only body concern I have now is my knees are periodically "cracking", but outside of the funny noise, there is no pain or soreness involved. I am going to google this to see what is happening. Feet and ankles and other joints all feel perfect.
* I have not weighed myself because I only do that on Monday's but weight loss was not a goal as I have increased my caloric intake this week, as planned. I expect to lose maybe a pound or less I think.
* The real question now is do I continue. Tomorrow is a rest day but I think I am going to try this one more week, pending what I find about the cracking in my knees and evaluate again. I don't see myself doing the second month of the program but I would be really happy if I could finish month 1
* There is no way to answer if this is for you with out just trying it. One thing I would recommend is that if you are not sure, grab the day 2 routine, and just do the warm up from that day. And then after the "warm up", be honest with yourself.

Wow, 6 pounds in 5 days!! Sweet. What is your final goal?
155#The 6 pounds were likely an anomoly due to water weight and excessive eating/drinking prior to that

2 weeks in and I've dropped from 160 to 155 with a goal of 145. In this 2 weeks, I've eaten at Gibson's steak house, I've eaten fluffernutters, McDonald's, bacon, ribs and pizza a few times. I'm obviously eating these things in moderation, but it hasn't been that hard. The hardest part (and a big reason why I probably wasn't dropping weight before) is beer. I've been exploring craft beers this summer and a typical night was 2 to 6 beers esp. Thurs - Sun. I'm cutting this back to 1 max during the week and 2 or 3 on Fri & Sat nights.
Week 1 was harder in appetite suppression, now my body is used to the smaller portions. The initial weight loss & bodily results is also a good motivator.
Only surprises on calories with MFP have been the craft beer and chips & guac. 2 beers and my standard intake of chips & guac can easily be 700-800 calories in 20 minutes.

I had weigh in day today and ended up losing 2 pounds (22 now overall and 13.4% of my body weight). I am not that concerned though. I will see what happens on week 2 of Insanity and then adjust caloric intake again if need be.Insanity Week 1 is complete.

Haven't thought about that really. Once I hit 155#, I'm going to start a weight lifting program; so I need to factor all that in.

NFL football killed me and I went a little too nuts yesterday.
Not bad but probably 500 calories over the limit or so.
Gained 2 lbs back but I don't officially weigh in until Saturday so I'll definitely have to work hard this week to make up for that and still drop 2 more pounds.

Be careful trying to justify or explain short term weight loss or gain. The variables that make up weight loss in the short term are massive and hard to plot but if you concentrate more on a weekly look at your weight, it is much easier to gauge why you went up or down. You can still weigh yourself as often as you like during the week, just take it all with a grain of salt since you full fluctuate, and some times you won't know why.

Yeah, this is just a really rough estimate. Depends on body type, weight and heart rate. I generally go by the rule if I'm not sweating, I'm not working hard enough.

What you say may certainly be true, but it is advice like that that always made me never want to diet. I hate any diets that say "don't eat this or cut out that". It always discouraged me. I love what using MFP has taught me, and it contains common sense and does not require any specialized diet. 1) eat smaller portions2) exercise more3) avoid wasting calories on drinks4) cook healthierI am not eating any different foods than I did when I was a mini blimp. I just eat smarter and exercise significantly more.Cut out wheat, dairy and refined sugar...you fatties will notice a huge difference. Trust me
NewlyRetired
Footballguy
Yeah, I think sweating is a great indicator. With out wearing a heart monitor it can at least give you some indication that your body is working. One great thing about Insanity is that you have a good lather going by the middle of the warm up period. It would take me usually twice as long or more to sweat like that on a normal jog or using the Eliptical.

I am not going to read that link because I do not want to be discouraged. I could not be more happy with my progress on MFP by following common sense rules I listed. Those common sense rules really won't change over time. They are eternal and should work for most everyone who is starting a diet.
I am already past my weight loss goal and went from being a blob on a couch to doing the Insanity program just by paying attention to the common sense rules. I don't want to change anything in my routine that might cause me to become discouraged.
If you are looking to go from good, to excellent shape or are having a tough time with the "last 5 pounds" problem, then you will likely have to focus more specifically on what type of foods you are eating.
This is my issue obviously. Plenty of people will be able to follow your advice and do great. It is just not for me specifically.

I'm in this camp too. Calorie content is so much easier to follow (for me), but if a wheat, dairy, sugar restriction diet works for others, I have no problem if that floats your boat. Once upon a time, I saw someone posted to avoid Diet Coke because it slows down your metabolism. Good lord - no wonder people have trouble losing weight in this country. When you get advice that effectively limits your intake choices to just water, apples and broccoli, I can see why people get turned off by diets.I am not saying you are incorrect, by any means.I am saying for myself personally, I never wanted to diet because I hated the idea of changing or removing foods from my diet.

I thought I missed updating only last week, but apparently I missed a couple weeks. Still going strong though.Weighed in at 201.2 this morning, getting close to starting with that "1" again. Feeling good since I made it through a birthday, Labor Day weekend, fantasy drafts, first college football tailgate of the season, etc.The tailgate...wow what a wake up to be using this app now. It was this past Saturday, and I knew I'd be missing the gym since I was getting up early, so made sure to go an extra 20 minutes or so on the elliptical on Friday. I still had a cheeseburger. Still had a piece of the amazing tuna subs that get brought from a nearby legendary shop. Had a few famous Chucks wings. Grilled shrimp...yes please. Stayed away from the chips, the desserts, etc. Only had a couple beers. Logged everything as best I could and stayed within my calorie count, aided by a tiny dinner since I was still so full. I ended up getting home earlier than I expected, so I hit the gym for a quick half hour before it closed. All in all, a good day that could have been terrible. If I wasn't on a diet, I would have eaten probably 3x as many calories. If I was dieting but not logging the calories, probably 2x. This thing works.

that is fantastic discipline. Taking a possible bad day eating (which is going to happen from time to time for most people) and turning it into a decent day over all is a great win.Congrats on being so close to the 100's! Just keep going and you should be there before you know it and then use that barrier as extra confirmation that you are doing great and set another reachable goal.Well done

Well, today's weigh-in was not what I expected. Since my last weigh-in I have had my worst day (calorie-wise) since I started (I went over by 1300+ calories), plus I didn't do a third of the cardio that I usually do during the week. I did expect to lose a little since my weekly calorie total was below my allotted amount.
I figured I'd lose a pound maybe. I lost 3.4! That puts me at 227# with over 30# lost in 12 weeks.
so now I wonder - was this week just an anomaly, or have I been over doing it before now and slowing my metabolism? I think I'll shoot for the same net caloric intake this week, and see what happens.

This is something that I am very curious about. I have been losing so much weight (I have plenty to lose so I am sure that is the biggest reason) and I have been trying to over eat two days a month. I wonder if the over eating (500 to 1K calories over) is keeping my body from hitting any sort of plateau?? I will have my weigh in this evening when I get home from work and I am expecting to be down another 3-5 lbs this week. We shall see.

I have a cheat day every week (just usually drink bourbon instead of beer which is what drove my calories so high this week) to keep my sanity. I don't know if throwing my metabolism a curve ball once a week is helping, but so far it doesn't seem to be hurting.
KiddLattimer
Footballguy
Yea I do too... which will probably be on Sundays through the football season. I have been losing a good amount of weight on this but I dont know if the cheat day helps me lose weight, or prevents me from losing even more, but either way I'll probably keep doing it.With that all said, whenever I have a cheat day I usually feel like crap and miss eating healthy. Never thought I would have said that 4 months ago!

I am still keeping away from cheat days on the fear that it will trigger me into doing it too often.
It is great to hear you guys can occasionally cheat and still lose weight. I fear at my size (142 pounds) that the affect of cheating might be bad.

I weighed in this morning. Down another 1.5. I am at 170 now from 190. This was my original goal when I started this thing. I am thinking I may go to 165 just due to the fluctuations that happen here and there. I weighed in the other night after reffing a college soccer game. Burnt over 1,00o calories after going 7.8 miles. I was at 168. Felt good to know that i can get there.

I finished up week 2 of Insanity this morning.
It is night and day how I feel compared to last week. The work outs are still crushing my will to live while laying in a puddle of my sweat but the recovery is fantastic. Almost no soreness now; knees, ankles, hips, all joints feel fantastic.
Very happy I pushed through the initial pain although I was close to stopping.
I am starting to notice some changes in my body type now as I start to lean out and tighten up the lose skin from the initial weight loss.
As mentioned before, I am not concerned about weight loss during this phase but it would not shock me if I lost 1-2 more pounds again this week. I will be patient though and have my normal weigh in on Monday morning.
Today I had to wear pants (jeans) for the first time since I started to lose weight. I have been wearing shorts all summer. Not only were the jeans silly big on me, I dug out an old belt, and had to punch a new hole in it so that I could make it tighter to hold up my pants.

Almost no soreness now; knees, ankles, hips, all joints feel fantastic.Very happy I pushed through the initial pain although I was close to stopping.I am starting to notice some changes in my body type now as I start to lean out and tighten up the lose skin from the initial weight loss.As mentioned before, I am not concerned about weight loss during this phase but it would not shock me if I lost 1-2 more pounds again this week. I will be patient though and have my normal weigh in on Monday morning.Today I had to wear pants (jeans) for the first time since I started to lose weight. I have been wearing shorts all summer. Not only were the jeans silly big on me, I dug out an old belt, and had to punch a new hole in it so that I could make it tighter to hold up my pants.
I was talking with someone yesterday about weight loss and I'm kind of at a point where I'm not necessarily losing it anymore as much as redistributing it. Told the wife last night I need a new belt, my old has so many holes in it I'm about to wrap it around twice.Similar threads
