    Just finished Insanity!

    I lost 7.2kg , 11cm from my waist and 39 cm overall. I did the program without any breaks but did not use the meal plan. I just logged my calories on myfitnesspal :smile:

    Oh wow...amazing results...congrats!!! Do you mind sharing your starting weight and height?

    I've completed Insanity before but have fallen off the workout wagon since then. I restarted yesterday and it was just as painful as it was the first time. That's what I get for slacking! If I remember correctly, week 3 of both months was the worst for me last time. Day 2, done!

    Just finished up my second day of insanity- all while fighting a cold. My lungs were burning and my legs feel like they weigh a ton each- but I can tell I'll have good results as long as I can find the strength to keep pushing through these workouts. I'm not gonna lie, I definitely wimped out often this morning. I'm hoping once my cold clears up I'll have a little better time keeping up.

    Anyone have any good tips on how to stay motivated during this strenuous program? I'm just starting and already feeling overwhelmed- plus my knees are KILLING ME! Anyone else have that problem?

    Just completed Max Recovery for the first time - wow! Now any time I feel like giving up I can just tell myself that I've already completed all of the videos Insanity has to offer and so there is no reason not to make it to the finish line. 3.5 more weeks to go :D:D

    I have a friend that wants to get rid of her Insanity set!!!! I've wanted to buy it for months, but just didn't want to spend the moolah in fear that I would not stick w/ it. She's bringing it to me Sunday and I plan on starting Sun!!!! I am scared, but excited at the same time. I can do this! Any tips or suggestions? Also, can I still weight train?

    Today is my last day of week 2 as well. I normally get up and work first thing in the morning but today for some reason I didn't want to get out of bed. What's great about these workouts though is that I feel icky (for less of a better term) if I don't do them. Turned down a Cardinals game because I didn't work out Monday morning. I feel awesome because of that! But another reason why I didn't get up this morning, is because I knew it would be one workout after the other. And 2 workouts before eating anything would be rough. Thankfully, there's something about the Insanity guy that keeps you going...maybe it's because the people in the back are passing out in the middle of the work out too!!! :) I just only wish that this was wayyy easier on your knees..BUT you can't have your cake and eat it too I guess.

    Not sure how intensive your weight training is, but with some of the first month workouts I incorporated weights, for instance on the Cardio Recovery days there are a lot of squat and lunge moves where I would do rows or curls or kickbacks to get an upper body workout as well. You will likely have some muscle soreness, so you'll need to make a judgement call on whether you feel like it or not. That said, there is plenty of bodyweight exercises down in plank, etc, so not all hope is lost for some muscle definition :)

    I am in the same place as you right now, first week of the program, and I also did cardio recovery this morning. I think it is a welcome break from the high intensity- and I don't know about you but I am so sore that it's difficult to get out of my office chair at work! Don't skip the recovery day! Stretching is extremely important in order to maintain muscle health. Stick with it! We're in this together!

    Ok, so I'm in the "recovery week" of my first round of Insanity. So far, I have lost NO weight. Thought I lost 2 lbs., but they missed me and came back. Kind of frusturated. I finished P90X just prior to starting Insanity and lost no weight there, either. I really need to lose 15 lbs. or so (heck, at this point I would be happy with 5 lbs.). Anyways, I HAVE lost about 15 inches since March. I KNOW that's what's important, but after doing Weight Watcher's for SO MANY years, I guess my brain is trained to focus on the number on the scale. Plus, I'm not in the "healthy" weight range for my height . I'm 5'4" and weigh 155. Enough whining, I plan on completing this, just having a pity party today. I do love the work outs and all that sweat has to be doing something, right???? Love that there are so many ladies doing this program. Here's to being stronger at 37 (almost 38) years then I was at 30! :happy:

    Today is my 3rd day of Month 2 and OMG...my entire body is sore from the craziness of the past two days! Balance Push-ups?! Who in the *bleep* thought that was a good idea?! And the soreness of my chest...I may lose all of my little bitty "A" cup LOL!

    My knees hurt too. I bought different shoes and after a few weeks in (last time) I had knee wraps on both knees while I was doing it. I can already feel my knees again and I'm only on day 4!

    I didn't lose weight the first time but I lost a whole lot of inches. Have you taken your measurements?
