    Hey all! I'm Robert from Mississippi. I am a 25 year old firefighter who has experienced weight gain from the infamous firefighters diet. Not too happy with my gut. So I joined MFP and started doing a round of insanity with my wife. We completed the fit test last night. I am not looking forward to the next two months but I am looking forward to the results! Feel free to add me on MFP of you are interested in helping me to keep motivated.

    Hi! I'm Gloria and I'm from the UK. I'm 20 years old (21 in under 2 months!).

    I'm currently doing a year long work placement as part of my undergraduate degree. The 9-5 sitting-at-a-desk life has resulted in me putting on over a stone (14lb/7kg). Well that, and the fact that I have an incredible sweet tooth and there is always plenty of cake and biscuits and other sweet treats in my office!

    I started developing IBS symptoms at the beginning of the year because of my poor diet. I would binge eat on the worst things! When a lot of my trousers became too tight to zip or button up and I was looking almost pregnant in some photos due to the bloat, I decided enough was enough and I've cleaned up my diet (well, it's more like 80% clean 20% cheat) and started Insanity. I am on Day 18.

    The bloat has more or less gone, and so have my IBS symptoms! I haven't weighed myself yet because I'm trying to rely less on the scale, but today I wore trousers that did not fit me in March! So I must be doing something right :smile:

    Anyway I'm really enjoying the program and it'll be so nice to hear how everyone else gets along too. We can all motivate each other :smiley:

    I'm Lori - I live in eastern Iowa. My weight has yo-yo'd for the last 20 years...since by 2nd child. Two years ago I lost 35 lbs - gained all but 8 of it back. Last summer lost 20 - gained 25 over the winter. I'll start work outs and then usually putter out after 2 or 3 weeks. I've lost 11 lbs the last couple months but need to see better results. I've had the Insanity dvd's for 2 years and have been too scared to start them. I decided it was time to push myself so I finally started Insanity yesterday. It's tough and I have a LONG way to go but I like it. Hoping for the motivation to see it through and also hoping for great results.

    I forgot to post in here this morning. I was tempted to go back to bed after...
    today was tough. allergies. :s pushed through, but I felt like I had a heavy, wet, hot, itchy blanket wrapped around my head. I know I'm in the minority here, but...I'm ready for the snow to come back. I'm not allergic to that. :(

    I am only on Round 1 Day 4 but already, from Day 1, I find I can do more and am surprised that the soreness is working itself out already too. I huff and puff and have to take breaks (and sweat on my) but I like it.

    Hi guys. I am Tino from the UK (24). Like most of you here, I've struggled with my weight in the last 4-5 years. I used to be a size 6-8 but since 2011, I've been between the 180s and 200's. It's depressing as I look way older than I actually am and it frustrates me when people say things like, wow, you've changed. It's your weight!!! Anyway, I'm thinking of starting Insanity today, I did the fit test 3 weeks ago and then just stopped but this time I am very determined to go through and finish it. My current weight is 217 so hoping to drop about 20lbs and change my shape in the course of the 8 weeks. Feel free to add me for support.
