Hi Mary,
I haven't started yet....
I plan on starting April 1st with a set of "before" pictures and the first fit test, then will follow the workout calendar that came with the DVDs.
Best of luck to all of you in the group!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.0

There you may find some suggestions that are helpful.
I'm planning on buying a heart rate monitor. Dual duty for insanity and running.

Yeah I use a heart rate monitor so I use those calories burned. Def worth it if you can get one but if not you can just estimate. You are probably burning more than you think you are with this workout though!0

I just started INSANITY yesterday, which was the FIT TEST. then today was day #2 for me and the plyo cardio circuit...
Um, the workouts are killer but I love and hate it already...MY MAIN THING IS I KNOW I HAVE TO STOP BINGE EATING JUNK FOOD BUT I HAVENT STOPPED YET, Ive been working out for 2months straight already prior to Insanity and have only lost 5lbs to gain it all back and now a 3 pound loss again. I just hope INSANITY is it for me finally..I only have about 20lbs. to lose total..I have before and current pics on my blog tho..0 -

Sounds good! I highly recommend you familiarize yourself with the eating plan ahead of time. It's a great starting point for the nutrition part of the program!0 -

Thanks Mary...I will.0 -

I have not gotten my packet yet, but should be getting it any day now. Can anyone expand on what the diet is like?0

They give you 5 (i think) different meals with several meals in each section and you pick one out of every section for each of your meals. It's a good starting point so you know how many calories to be eating with the insanity workouts and how the meals should breakdown in ration of calories/carbs/fat/protein. I use some of those meals and add in some of my own too that are along the same lines.
If you are new to eating healthy it's good to follow the meal plan exactly at first until you know how much and what to eat. We are all here to support each other so if you need help with the eating make sure to reach out to us!

Thank you much! :flowerforyou:0 -
I started March 5. Today is Day 1 of Week 4. I've lost seven pounds and a total of 6 inches. I was following the meal plan very strictly for the first two weeks and on the third week found that I just couldn't eat that much food in a day. So my meal plan varies a bit from what it is supposed to be, however I am not having any junk, fried, sweet, salty foods, etc. Good luck to you all and keep posting progress stories, it's great motivation.0

Just did the fit test today! I beat most of the test numbers set by the guy and girl working out in the video and definitely needed to follow it up with another workout. So... the Fit Test wasn't insane at all, I'm optimistic! I love the intense cardio conditioning of TurboFire, I just hope this is as fun!0

The fit test is not really insane because it's just a test to see wher eyou are at.
I'm finishing up turbofire too and I've done insanity before. I was bored with some of the turbofire workouts because of the intensity of insanity. Month 1 is like 40 minuts of a turbifore HITT workout everyday (except recovery day). Month 2 60 minutes. you won't be bored!0 -

Here's what is working for me. I hope it helps you too. I have fully embraced the advice in the nutrition guide to have 5 basically equal sized meals a day. I am getting inspiration from the meals in the guide, but not following it exactly. Basically, I'm trying to focus on foods in the food list at the back, and combining them in ways that are pleasing and fit into my vegetarian eating style. I am almost completely avoiding processed foods and simple carbohydrates. I make sure each meal has plenty of protein as well as complex carbs (and a little healthy fat). Meals are only about 3 hours apart, so I really don't have to worry about getting hungry because my blood sugar is pretty stable. Also, I don't eat close to bedtime anymore. It has taken at least a month to get out of that habit (I used to sit on the couch after finishing work around 10pm and "reward" myself with some sugary snack).0 -
I started on March 18th. I completed week on on Friday, March 23rd, but have had a bad back for the last several days (ironically, it started on Saturday, the rest day). I am gradually getting better and hope to continue today or tomorrow with week 2.0
