    Hola! I'm on day 10 of the P90X/Insanity Hybrid. I'm hoping to shed the last 10 lbs (about 5-6 inches) on this program. It literally took a BeachBody village to get me here! I've done P90X, Insanity, TurboJam, and TurboFire!

    Today is my Day 9! I do feel stronger with each workout though I stil have lots of improvement to go. In Pure Cardio yesterday could not do the level 1drills toward the end, or those moving pushups. I picked up some weights and did weights through that and did 2 full pushups then converted to girlie pushups. Still moving and still working. I'm really trying to be good on my eating and eat cleaner. I am loaded with my boiled eggs, tuna, apples and natural peanut butter, and whey protien powder today. Today is Plyo Cardio Circuit and this is one of my favorite ones.

    I don't really feel any loss yet though I do think I feel tighter - if that makes sense. I really need to lose around the middle and I will be able to tell by my clothes. Can not wait until those buttons don't feel so tight. I do have beginning measurements and my first fit test results and will do new ones and post the two together so we can see results at the end of this challenge. Keep pushing play!

    anyone think of starting a small group for this? It's soooo hard to find threads and they start to get so long. Just a thought! I'm in!!!! I did my fit test last week and day 1 but then the weekend got all screwed up and kicked me off course already! Was really bummed! SOOO.....I'm starting back with Day 1 tonight and hoping you guys help keep me accountable for my workouts! I do a bootcamp class 4-6x a week but I don't want to use that as an excuse not to do it! The hubs and I have a trip to Jamaica coming up and I wanna be able to strut my stuff!!!!


    My fit test results from last week: completed Insanity Fit test.....tough!
    switch kicks: 72? (forgot to start counting)
    power jacks: 47
    power knees: 100
    power jumps: 27
    globe jumps: 10
    suicide jumps: 13
    pushup jacks: 15
    low plank obliques: 47-48 (DVD messed up throughout and froze last 5 secs)
    looking forward to seeing what happens in 30 days!

    It's day 3 (my last try this was the point that I quit) and I'm sticking with it! I'm not a quitter and with everybody support I know I can dig deeper and finish this! Good luck ladies and stick with it!!!

    I started on July 30 before I even knew about this challenge so I am definitely in. Today is Day 3/4 for me ( I didn't get a chance to do day 3 last night so I will do yesterday's in about 10 mins and today's workout tonight.) I don't have my fit test results because I couldn't even finish them.. So I guess I see how well I do by how far I get in the next fit test.

    Stats.
    SW:223.8
    CW:222.4
    GW for Challenge:190-195

    Measurements:
    Arms: L-14.25 R- 14.5
    Bust:42.5
    Waist:36.75
    Belly Button (pooch area): 43
    Hips: 48.5
    Thighs: L- 30 R- 30

    My biggest obstacle will be west indian food! I love home cooked west indian food (desserts and all) and that is major obstacle for me. Also not having healthy snacks on hand which leads me to getting anything to eat. To fight this, I already started saving low fat/cal versions of my favorite foods and purchase and portioned out low fat/cal snacks to keep me satisfied until my next meal.

    Good luck everyone!

    You are going strong T3...Angel...I am proud of you... and that is right, you are not a quitter...

    I couldn't workout today...was about to quit, not because of the workout but because life happens, but I am resuming tomorrow...I am not giving up! I am not a quitter either... we got to keep digging deeper and deeper!!!!

    hmmm, now that you mentioned it Luscious... I used to believe that my biggest obstacle was ME, but not anymore, I realized that my biggest obstacle is my environment... people draining my energy...now that I got that, I have been able to be stronger than what seems to be bringing me down.

    What about the rest of the group, what has been your biggest obstacle????

    Hi guys! I just popped in to say 'keep pushing play' (I'm nosy and love Insanity, so I open all Insanity-related threads!) I am on day 60 tomorrow - so close to finishing my first round. Yep, I am already planning a round 2! As others have said, modify what you have to, take breaks as you need them and get back into it. It will not get easier, but you will get better.

    My 2 cents - if you haven't already, take measurements and pictures! Even if you've already started, do it now. My profile pic is a difference of 4 lbs. I would have been destroyed (and probably quit) if not for my measurements and pics. As of those comparison pics I'd lost 17.5 inches overall. Some people will drop a lot of lbs over the 60 days, but some will not. The scale can be evil during Insanity.

    Dig deeper!

    Congratulations on completing 60 DAYS of INSANITY!!!! and thank you so much for your 2cents...Any tip, advice are well taken...

    Welcome to the group MOMMA, yes, I agree with you...I do not want all of us to get lost in here... I am trying to keep track of everyone and welcome new ones... However, it would be a good idea if we create a group with the same members and lay out each day to be instead of being all over the place..however in the process I do not want to lose anyone...what does everyone think?????

    I took my rest day on Fri because it's my longest work day. It was hard getting up at 6am this morning and doing Pure Cardio but so glad I pushed through it. Went to work today bouncing off the walls! LOL
