    Question to all of you Insanity folks...the program recommends that I take in A LOT more calories than I do; and am willing to for that matter. I do just try to eat when I am actually hungry- I think I am eating about 1400 calories per day and am pretty small. What do you do? Do you feel alright with just eating what it feels like you need rather than an estimate? I am just curious as my goal is to tone up so I am not focused on loosing weight but I thought I would loose a little. ??? Interested in any input- thank you!

    if your not focusing on loosing weight then you need to work out how many calories to take in and stick to that amount other wise you will loose and if you havnt got the fat to loose it will start eating your muscle

    Thanks- that makes sense to me! I am okay with loosing, I think my BMI is 23-24 so it is fine for me to bring that done a few notches. Good luck to everyone in their Insanity work outs!

    I've heard the second month is where the craziness really begins! I'm just starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of it (Just finished week 3), lol :)

    Yes, month 2 is where "Insanity" comes from cuz it's INSANE!!! I'm in Month 2 Week 3 :D

    I'm in week 2 of Insanity and really liking the program. I just hate that I can't do the whole workout without stopping to take a break every 5-7 minutes. Plus I hate that I'm not able to do all of the moves yet.

    How do you track your calories burned? I've been using a Timex heart rate monitor that calculates calories burned for you but I feel like the numbers are really high.

    I use my Body Media Fit (HRM) and my calorie burns are lower than most. It all depends on the person. I'm in Month 2 and only burning 300 calories an hour where some are burning 500-1000. I'd seriously look into a HRM cuz everyones burns are different.

    I'm really trying to stay motivated at this point. I'm about to start month 2 tomorrow and I've had no weight loss or measurement changes except for losing a half inch off my waist during week two. I've been doing it with my husband and that's about the only reason I've kept going. :(

    I just got a new HRM yesterday in hopes of measuring my calories burned so I can try to make sure I'm getting the right amount of calories. I don't know what else to do, but I'm going to stick with it either way. Here's to hoping for some results!

    I didn't lose much either the first month. But have noticed a difference in Month 2. Just keep going and u will be happy with the results in Month 2. The HRM will come in very handy so u can see what your burns are. Make sure u are eating enough. With the intensity of Insanity u want to make sure u are fueling your body enough :)

    Has anyone considered repeating the first month if it feels like they have a lot to gain still? I feel like I could significantly improve and will be starting month 2 about the same time as final exam prep in grad school. Do you just follow the program? Thanks!
