Weightloss Update + Questions

Currently I have been doing Insanity for about three weeks (missing some days due to vacation) and whilst doing the workout, I managed to lose no weight. I feared this happening before because all the times I did Insanity, I hadn't lost any weight. But I realized the first time was because I was consuming way too many calories, the second time I was consuming way too little. So I decided to consume 1500 calories. After a week I don't recall losing any weight Then I upped it to 1700. Still, no weightloss. I was upset that after all this time I still hadn't lost any true weight. My weight was just up and down from that point.

So what I did was look on myfitnesspal (where I track my calories. I highly recommend the use of this site) and their forums regarding Insanity. I even looked at yahoo answers. Everything was saying the same thing. I needed more calories. I was scared of eating more calories, though, because of my experiences with easy weight gain. Many sites said that I shold increase my intake to at least 1900 calories a day. I even looked to the Insanity paper that told me how many calories I should consume based on my hieght, weight and age. It said between 1870 (for moderately active) to 2010 (for very active). Still I was scared. It took a lot of convincing to get me to finally believe that I should eat the recommended amout of calories in order to lose weight.

Just yesterday, for the first time, I ate around 2300 calories (because I did the insanity workout, and I did a hell of a lot of running at a party yesterday) and this morning after weighing myself, I was expecting to weigh around 178 or 177 because I ate so much and I was 176.5 the day before. But like a calling, I came to find out that I was 175.5. Im finally convinced.

Starting today, June 15, 2014, I will begin my true, and corrected weightloss journy. Wish me luck.
