Time For Something New

So since starting Insanity 3 weeks ago, I have only lost 2 pounds... This just doesn't seem right.... I mean I'm burning WAY more calories and sweating WAY more than with P90X so it's difficult for me to comprehend... Plus, I've been pretty much on track with my nutrition with a few exceptions... So why aren't the pounds falling off like before???? I'm trying not to beat myself up because I have already lost 15 pounds, but I know my body and I have more to lose! So... With that in mind, I set out to do some serious research on this issue... Thank the good Lord for Beachbody's message boards because it seems that I am not the only person struggling with this issue.... The solution?!? I need to take in more calories! Hmmm.... So they are suggesting that I eat more to lose weight? Yep... I typically only take in about 1000-1200 calories a day.... The human body burns around 500 calories just on it's own (I read this somewhere so I hope it's accurate), and then I burn at least 500 more during my Insanity workouts... Therefore, my body is holding onto everything it can... I don't want it to get to the point where I'm burning muscle either! Eeeeek! I've worked hard for these things... So I am upping my caloric intake to what the program suggests starting today.... I will cross my fingers and hope that this helps me achieve the results pound wise that I really  want... Everything says not to look to the scale to judge your results, and I totally agree... But for my own personal happiness I know there is a goal weight wise I must get back to... Here goes nothing!! :)
