    Hi Everyone! I just found this thread and I'm ending week 2 of my first round of insanity! I'm loving it and hoping to see some great success. Not really following the meal plan but am definitely eating much better and trying to get the majority of my calories from tiers 1 and 2. Look forward to following the thread!

    Hey Everyone!
    I just found this thread and I am SO excited that I did!! I am not into the INSANITY...yet! I am just ending week 1 of P90X today. I LOVE it!!!
    I am so glad I found you all!! Yay fellow crazy ladies like myself!
    I had done P90X at the beginning of the year but because of family health issues my fitness got shelved for several months. But not I'm back workin on my fitness!
    I can't wait to keep reading about everyone's progress! :smile:

    We did Max Cardio Conditioning this morning. I've been snacking like crazy this morning. Good thing I burned 800 calories already. May hit the treadmill this evening as well.

    So today begins my recovery week... I am super nervous about next week and the final stretch of Insanity. I think that I have read too much and it has made me crazy scared :S

    So far, over the past month I have burned over 13,000 calories... has only one else tracked that? Am I in the ballpark or should I have pushed harder/dug deeper? I am really hoping for results during the next four weeks... gonna take pics at the end of this week to see if there are results. The scale has not been my friend so I have stopped weighing in. I would lose like 5 pounds and then weigh in again and they would be back and with some additional numbers added. I am sticking to five small meals per day and eating clean, no processed foods.

    HELP me ... have you been through the program already and are all these things normal? Help me INSANE chicks.

    The 2nd month just do as you did with the 1st month. Take breaks when you need to; hit the pause button. The workouts are crazy, but mostly just a bit longer. I don't know how many calories I burned during the 1st month. I didn't get a heart rate monitor till mid-month. In the second month my workouts averaged 700-980 calories burned. You start to get addicted to the numbers and want to burn more more more.

    I am clearly already addicted to the #s. As a matter of fact they are my biggest motivator. When I consider skipping a workout, for whatever reason, I think about not having a great weekly reading on my HRM and I force myself to Push Play.

    Thanks for the encouragement... I am looking forward to some changes in the program and I hope that I have what it takes :D

    I started round 2...did my fitness test yesterday, fell back to the same numbers as my 3rd fitness test during the first round....
    did plyo today! I am training for my marathon and I think Insanity is going to make me stronger for it!

    In my second round and what I did is keep the fitness day for the last day of the month.
    This way I only compare it monthly and to see how much my endurance has improved for the month vs every two weeks.

    This morning was Core Cardio & Balance. 528 calories burned. I'm getting used to Insanity in a way. It's good to know that Shaun T hasn't broken me yet.

    So jealous of that burn!! Maybe if I do it all w/o taking mini breaks I'll get a higher burn BUT I have noticed that I'm lasting just a little bit longer =)

    I love doing Insanity. I love it even more that I am not doing it EVERY day, only every other day. I don't feel as beat up. My hubby still hates it, I told him to start doing it every day and he will appreciate it a lot more. For some reason, he is not as strong in his upper body as I thought he was, lol! He has a harder time with the V-push ups than I do.

    Starting week 4! Pure cardio and cardio abs completed this am! Gearing up for the second month and hoping to really see some good results with the last 4 weeks. Haven't really lost any weight and have drastically changed my diet, so hoping I will see some inches lost come my measurements next Sunday! My knees are starting to feel it a little...might need to look into getting a mat to do all the jumping on!

    The first month in my first, I didn't see a weight loss until recovery week. Your muscles could be retaining water.
    So drink up your water!! lol I did though lose inches every week.

    Second round though the inch loss is slow but I'm losing weight.

    We did Max Interval Plyo this morning. I burned 558 calories. About the last half of the workout I wanted to barf, but luckily I didn't have anything to barf. Not a pretty picture, but that is how I felt. I hate that workout.

    I am still in it too... just starting week seven today... almost done. I am going back to my first love after this... P90X with some Insanity thrown in for cardio :) Have a great day and try to stay away from those Hallowe'en treats.

    That's what we're doing. We're doing a P90X /Insanity hybrid. Insanity on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

    Didn't have a great workout this morning with Insanity. I still burned over 600 calories, but I think I overtrained this week. I've done three double workouts so far this week. Anyway, tomorrow may be a rest day.

    We did Insanity Pure Cardio this morning. My husband has an early morning appointment, so we wanted to do something. We're in our 3rd week of phase 3 of our P90X/insanity hybrid.

    We did Max Interval Circuit this morning. This workout just doesn't get easier. I no longer have any dreams of it becoming a piece of cake. It never will. I burned 759 even throughout the struggle.

    Well I am officially on month 2 of insanity. Did max plyo today and man the pushups are still killing me. Definitely can't do them like in the video, but I am finding I can do many more regular pushups than when I first started. I received my dvds from a friend, and am just now realizing that a couple of the month 2 workouts are missing but should be able to stay on track (hoping to get them by the end of this week). I did pretty well with my measurements after month one...but still no real weight loss. Hoping month 2 is where its at for me!!!

    We did Max Interval Circuit this morning, I burned closed to 900 calories. One more day and then next week is recovery week. We haven't decided what to do after the hybrid.
