    Thanks, I am not following the guide - I'm sticking with the MFP recommended 1240, but end up eating around 1500 after the exercise. I am eating what I normally eat (I've cut down out sweets and sodas, eating a lot of vegetables) - I imagine I need to weigh food a lot more than I do. I tend to weigh breakfast and lunch, but things like dinner can be difficult when it's lots of ingredients and not really a set portion, so I tend to overestimate food in the MFP diary.

    But it's good to hear there's the chance that in the later month I might see some change. I've noticed my strength is a lot better.

    Two weeks is still pretty fresh. You are probably holding on to water weight for muscle repair. Also, are you following The guide for calorie intake??

    Keep up the hard work, make sure your calories are dialed in and you are weighing food, and you will see it!

    ^^ agreed.
    I had a big drop 1st week, same 2nd, up 3rd and down on the 4th & 5th, on the beachbody website is a video interview of SeanT who explains that this is very common. I like the theory that you body plateaus at about week 3/4 so that's what recovery week is for to confuse it and then up the exercise, stick to your calorie intake and it will come off. It was about 3 weeks in that I started to notice my trousers getting loose and week 7 before I felt a little more comfortable doing the exercises. Don't get me wrong, at the end I'm exhausted and sweating like I have not done in years but feel so much better for it :)

    I've done both. The first Insanity was similar to this new version. But the workouts in IM30 are only 30 mins long for all 60 days. Insanity is anywhere from 37 mins to 60 mins between month one and two. I really like the original Insanity, but didn't have more energy then 30 mins most days.

    I join a support group that does all things Insanity! I started a FB blog page to keep myself accountable. I post food, motivation, workouts with pic collage or videos.

    Motivated?! The results I am getting by sticking to the whole program(including calorie reccomenda toons) are amazing! That is great motivation for me! So far I am in the end of week 1 month 2, and I am down 13lbs, and 2 inches each off my bust, waist, and hips. I have had the program over 3 years. This is the second time I have ever completed it. Started lots though. And never before have I eaten like this. Usually I either ate too little and then got way burned out and so sore and tired, or have just eaten whatever I wanted and got frustrated with not seeing visible results. Get a at it, keep it up, I look at results pics online for further motivation! I may post my before and afters. Will see what I decide.

    Oh don't you guys worry I am still working out just not insanity. I have lost 6.5 lbs in a month and I was slacking the first half I need to just fit in when I can. Results pics are always super motivating! Especially my own from 3 years ago when I finished this program with my father. That's some awesome results the insanity meal plan and works work together so great! Your seeing some serious results youngmomtaz no wonder it's not too hard to stay motivated! You've convinced me I'll get back on the wagon tomorrow!
