    I'm starting also! I only am going to weigh once a month but I will definitely check in with progress! Add me if you'd like. I've tried this before but with no support or motivation I quit after 3 days (it's really hard, mostly stamina wise). Good luck ladies!!

    Great!!!!

    Thank you for joining me ladies!!!! I am really excited.. It is my first time doing it but we all got to push it through!!! Is it going to be easy? Probably NO... Lol, but I was told once that " whatever you can do 5 of...you can do 5 more" and so on.. So if it is about stamina then we have to change the mentality to " I can do 5 more, I can do 10 more etc...". Is all how much we want it!!!

    Hope this time you stick with it t3441823angel... We will support one another

    Natpack19 have you done INSANITY before?

    I will do my workout at night since I have to be out the whole today. But as soon as I'm done I will share with you my agony..lol
    And if you do it earlier, please come back to this post and let us know how you did.


    To start my stats are as follows

    Starting Weight - 196.8
    My goal Weight is 185
    Waist. 39
    Hips 45

    We can do this!!!!!!!

    I'd love to join you peeps! I just started it today (did the "Fit Test") and I managed to drag my coworker into it so we now have insanity lunch breaks. It pretty much sounded like a heard of rhinos that couldn't stop gasping between giggles! I assumed the 8 exercises would take about 15 minutes with a minute in between, but by the time we peeled ourselves off the floor a half hour had gone by and both of us were drenched in sweat. I'm not going to lie, but if the fit test was that hard, my body wants to cry at the idea of subjecting myself to 45 minutes of OMG Insanity.

    My starting stats are:
    Weight 163lbs
    Fat % 33.1
    Waist 29"
    Hips 39"

    I'm trying not to get myself worked up over the weight number because I've heard you tend to gain in the first couple of weeks and especially because my body packs on muscles like it's nobody's business, so I imagine that number will only budge in the upward direction if at all. But what matters is the size of clothes I'm wearing and how I feel :D

    Did anyone else do the fit test? My results were:

    Switch Kicks: 36
    Power Jacks: 40
    Power Knees: 71
    Power Jumps: 25
    Globe Jumps: 10
    Suicide Jumps: 11
    Push-Up Jacks: 13
    Low Plank Oblique: 52

    I have no clue if those are good numbers, but I can definitely say that I was struggling hard core through the last 20-30 seconds of each exercise. How'd everyone's first day go?? Anyone feeling it already? I've got it in my back :-/
  • I just started today also :D My fitness test went horribly though because i'm not an exercise person at all x.x Had to stop during each exercise because i would get dizzy and see spots.

    Switch Kicks: 31
    Power Jacks: 19
    Power Knees: 46
    Power Jumps: 13
    Globe Jumps: 3
    Suicide Jumps: 7
    Push-Up Jacks: 5
    Low Plank Oblique: 16

    Hello everyone!!!!

    My FiT test was a challenge!!! Oh my God!!!! I thought I was going to faint!!! Seriously!!!!! This is no joke...I was not able to do much!!!! But this was just a test... I know next FIT test I will do better,

    So, here are my numbers:

    Switch kicks. 10
    Power Jacks 20
    Power knees (my favorites) 50
    Power jumps 10
    Globe jumps 2
    Suicide jump 1
    Push up jacks 2
    Low plank obliques 20

    The jumps for me were kind of hard cuz I have a knee problem. So I tried to take it slow in that area...
    This FIT test was insane, I can just imagine today's workout, lord have mercy!!!

    Ok, ladies, let's go after our goals, let's push PLAY!!!!!

  • I also started the insanity challenge yesterday with my fiancee and a good friend of ours!

    I am a bit sore today :/ But excited to keep on track!

    My starting weight is 147.5 and I am 5'4 (this is the most I have ever weighed, and the highest dress size I have ever been.

    I am specifically trying to whittle my middle, tone my arms, lift my [butt!], and tone my back. (I have to look good in my wedding dress in less than 3 months!)

    Good luck everyone!

    So I don't really have a choice about taking off the day from insanity since I'm literally driving on the road from 2am until I get home at nine tonight, but I'm starting to think that's okay because every part of my body is killing me just from the fit test yesterday! And I do mean EVERY part. It's like I was run over by ten semis and left for dead. Tomorrow my coworker and I are back on track though and as sore as we are we're suicidally pumped about giving it our best. How's everyone else feeling after the fit test?

    Current/Starting Weight: 133 lb
    Goal Weight: 125 lb

    I am going to try to join in! I was previously doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, lost 21lbs, and recently gained 7 lbs back. Really bummed about it, so I figured now is the time to get back on it!

    Current weight- 143.8
    Goal weight- 130

    I will do the fitness test tonight and will post my results.

    Thanks!

    Made it through Plyo Circuit without tossing my cookies today...yay!

    I was just wondering who was all following the recommended Insanity food plan and how everyone feels about it? I did the calorie intake calculation and it says I should be consuming 1900 calories if I want to lose weight! That just seems like a lot! Thoughts? What is everyone else's food plans if you're not following the recommended plan per Insanity? I've read in other topics and threads that you should really eat as much as they tell you to or you won't lose. I'm just scared to eat that much and get all back in really bulky muscle or have it backfire and just make me gain in general.

    My husband and I are starting Insanity on August 7th, and I'm struggling with the meal planning too. Not just the amount, but also trying to figure out options for a very picky eater (husband eats like a toddler). Would LOVE a meal plan download, because right now I have about 5 items to rotate for dinners. Not enough to get through 60 days.

    Omg do we have the same husband!? Lol jk. But really mine is like having another kid when it comes to food. When I started eating healthier he wasn't very strive in the way that he still would eat fast food right in from of me. I don't know what changed but all the sudden he wanted to get healthier too, yet was super picky about what I made. he even said he wanted to do insanity, but then kept pushing back the start day. Finally I got feed up and straight told him I'm doing this with or with out him. I started insanity with out him (but luckily I have all you ladies to support me and share common stories and pain loll) and I cook what I know is healthy, not leaving out anything he might not like, me and my kids will eat it and if he wants to eat he can pick out what he doesn't like or make something different. Sounds mean when I say it out loud but when your dealing with a man child you need to remember that your needs are just as important as his.

    I started on Sunday July 28th. I have no endurance! I didn't even bother writing down my results from the fit test because it was so pathetic! I had no idea what I was getting myself into but, now that I have started, I am determined to finish! I don't even know if I will get any results since I can't keep up or actually do all of the exercises! The warm up is hard for me even! I hope it gets better as time goes on. Tonight is pure cardio and I am extremely nervous about it!
  • I'm starting today 8/1!!! I attempted this once before but made it through like 20 days(which i did lose 2 inches) but got thrown off.. i am now attempting to start it over again!!!
