    Hi all,
    I came to the US 2 weeks ago and saw insanity in the tv commercials. I am 37 years old male from Indonesia (thats where BALI is), 170cm tall, at 90KG. i am about 15KG or 30Pounds overweight. I watched over the years as my weight creeped up slowly to that thereshold number :(. Btw, 30Pounds is a lot for us asians.

    I travelled a lot around the southeast asia region, and although i stayed at nice hotels with gym facilities, i found myself hardly went there,

    Today i started my fitness test. Today i start my insanity workout.
    I am glad i found this group.
  • Hey guys! I'm 3 weeks into insanity and feel better already. Wasn't sure if i should believe all the hype about the amazing weight loss it claims to produce. I've seen tons of befores and afters but i'm curious, has anyone done Insanity without following the meal plan?
    I'm allergic to a few things but they're in everything like eggs, gluten, wheat and yeast. The breakfast is all eggs so it's impossible for me to do it. I've been following my own routine for food but i wanna know if the given nutrition is what really set off your weight loss.
    Thanks guys and good luck to everyone!

    Hi guys, I'm Brittany. I have just finished Day 3 - Cardio Power and Resistance of Insanity. I downloaded this app to help me keep track of my calorie intake and find extra support. I'm so excited. and already feel energized. I even did Jillian Michaels's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism this morning before I did Insanity this afternoon (I'm obviously off today) ... I'm having a hard time keeping up with the people in the video and I've stopped a couple of times. I will get stronger right?

    I'm 25 too!!! I'm right there with you, Plyo kicked my *kitten*. I did Cardio Power today and it ALSO kicked my butt. A few of my friends have told me that I have to give it some time and I will start to see results. you know, DIG DEEP and all that. I'm very excited, and trying to keep my spirits up and not get discouraged.

    I, I'm Mary. I'm 44 and have recently started Insanity. I did day 9 today. What made me choose Insanity? I've recently lost 50 pounds and have 30 more to lose, but have plateaued. I haven't lost anything, pounds or inches, in the last 6 weeks. It's time for something major, and Insanity is about as major as I can think of. I've survived the first week, but boy does this workout make me feel old while I'm doing it.
  • Hopefully starting Insanity today! And then again on Monday with a group of people but I cannot wait until then! I'm looking to just tone and not lose much weight. Good luck to everyone!

    Hi everyone! I'm Mandy. I am 31 and have 3 kids ages 7, 5 and 2. I am desperately needing to drop like 40-50 pounds! I am starting Insanity on Monday and am SCARED TO DEATH of it after watching part of the first workout! lol.
  • Hi, I'm 21 and tired of not looking and feeling my best. I want to finally have a beach body and feel confident and healthy. I'm still an undergrad, graduating next year. I am 5 "2" and 117 lbs. My goal is to maintain a weight around 105 lbs. But ultimately I want to just be toned. I love the workouts but I think my biggest issue is food. I actually don't eat enough so my body is in starvation mode. I eat 1200 or less a day b/c I "forget" to eat. So I need support on that as well as eating the right foods. The workout is fun. I reaaaallllyyy need to get in shape to have more energy and feel better about myself. I wish you all the best and let's do this!

    Hi everyone. My name is Leilanie im 27 and I'm from California. I have struggled with weight most of my adult life. Always went up and down due to pregnancies and jus not eating right or being active. I finally decided to take it seriously now. I am on a 1600 a day calorie diet and I'm on my 3rd week of insanity. I have lost 6lbs so far. I haven't weighed myself in a week because I wuz getting into a bad habit of doing it everyday and when I didn't c results I would get discouraged. My goal weight is 130-135. I currently weigh 160 now. I am confident that sticking with this diet and continuing the insanity and support from all input there I will reach my goal weight! :-)

    Hi everyone, my name is Robbie. I am 35 and live in Belfast, Ireland. I am starting insanity on 14th August 12 and I would just like to use this forum to give me some much needed motivation to keep going. Typically I have started to use this and then I lose interest in logging my performance and then stop training.

    This time I am going to complete the 60 dys of insanity and log all my food and exercise each day. My main goal is to become toned and fit again as I was in my 20's.

    I would love to hear from others who are doing this program and hopefully we can help each other out.

    Please feel free to add me as a friend.

    Thanks and happy training

  • Hello everyone, my name is Shamika. I am 22 years old and I currently reside in Texas. I started Insanity on Sunday, August 12, 2012 against the recommended plan in order to give myself Saturdays off versus Sundays. I have lost 31 pounds on my own and now I am seeking to drop an additional 10 pounds while toning and building muscle and strength. With the exceptions of a few cheat indulgences on the weekend, my eating habits are pretty clean. I look forward to collaborating with others during this adventure as well as suggestions on good meal choices. DIG DEEPER!!!
  • Hi, My name is Bianca. I started insanity today. I look forward to getting through it. I would like to lose a few pounds and some inches :) (which I'm sure we all do) I am dedicated to sticking to the plan, for once I would love to finish a routine that I start. If anyone would like to add me for motivation and support that would be great. I hope you all make it to the end with a healthier body and mind :) Good Luck
  • Hey all! I'm Christina from florida:) started the insanity workouts a week ago and omg talk about intense...anyway i love the challenge so i am completely addicted now:) anyway would love to meet new fitness buddies so feel free to add me!
  • Hi Everyone!

    My name is Erica. I actually just finished Insanity this past Sunday. However, I am not really "finished" with the program until I meet several goals:

    1. Do a warm up without stopping and hit all the moves within a session
    2. Hit that 1000-calorie burn
    3. HIt my first weight loss goal of 20 pounds

    All of this is to be achieved by September 1. So I am re-working the three toughest sets from month two to reach my goals. Then I am moving on to ChaLean Extreme. P90x after that.

    I have had amazing results with Insanity and following the nutrition plan religiously. I've also had knee injuries since the second week and had to restart week two over and then had to take a 5 day break a couple of weeks ago. Uggghhhhh!

    Please feel free to add me!

    Remember: DIG DEEPER YALL!!!!!!

    Hey!

    My name is Brittanie and I just finished day 8 of Insanity. I've never been able to stick with a work out plan. The most I did was almost 2 weeks of p90x. This time it feels different! I really push myself with insanity, and I'm trying so hard with eating cleaner and smarter. I just would LOVE some friend requests for encouragement with insanity, or dieting, just this journey in general. I lost 13 lbs last year with weight watchers and some zumba, but this year it's time to shed the rest of my extra poundage and get more toned where i want it (stomach, legs, buttocks).

    Thanks in advance for your encouragement, let's be fitness pals!

    Brittanie :)

    Hi, My name is Heidi. I am 27 years old and a mother of 2. Just made it to my first rest day, so officially one week down! I am not following the meal plan, but am doing my best to keep it healthy and stick with my calorie goal. I am looking to lose inches (and hopefully pounds) off my belly and lower body. Also would be nice to have other Insane pals for encouragement. Good luck on your weight loss and fitness journeys!
  • Hi, I'm Alex Fittin. I am 22 years old and just got married in June. I started INSANITY to look better in my wedding dress a few months ago and have gained everything back post-wedding :(. I am starting over with attempts to drop 32 pounds and 2 sizes. I'm not interested in being a sickly-looking skinny girl, but am VERY interested in getting FIT! I am not following the meal plan exactly because I am weird and don't like very many vegitables but I am cooking mainly healthy meals that I can find calorie counts on and trying to be dedicated to balancing my diet. Good luck out there!

    Hi my name is Manj. I started Insanity yesterda (20th August) and the fit test wiped me out.

    I havn't exercised in what seems like ages and seeing as my baby boy is now 13 months think its way past time. I did start with a personal trainer after he was born but once i got back to work i couldn't get the time together to go to the gym. Hoping exercising at home will help.

    Looking forward to day 2 but at the same time very apprehensive... would be great to buddy up with someone who started this week too :-)
  • Hi everyone, my name is Rindi. My best friend, Brooke and I started Insanity two days ago, and let me tell you...we LOVE it! It is very intense, and by know means can we make it through the whole workout. We barely made it through the fit test, but I am bound and determined to lose 15 pounds or more.

    I am 28, from Oklahoma, a wife, and mother to two beautiful daughters. I have gained about 20 pounds since I have had them, and I am miserable. I hate that when I put something on in the morning, I always second guess myself. But I am turning over a new leaf with My FitnessPal and Insanity! I am so excited to finally be where I want to be.

    I would love to make new friends! So friend me so we can keep track of each other's progress and encourage each other to keep it up!

    Hi all,

    My name is Munty and I joined MFP back in June when I finally took the decision to get fit. Been trying to eat as clean as I can since then and exercising but now want to take it to the next step. Losing weight with diet is fine, but being fit and healthy is completey different in my opinion.

    I started Insanity on Monday 20th August and today ill be doing Day 5. I can feel the difference already!

    Be great to have liked minded friends on here to support and encourage so feel free to add me.

    For all those doing insanity - well done and those that are thinking of starting! just do it! its awesome!

    Good luck everyone!
  • Hello everyone,

    My name is Eliana and I am nearing the end of my first week of month 2 of Insanity. I haven't had great success with it on the scale, however, my body has definitely gotten smaller.. yay! I hope to complete 2 rounds of Insanity, followed by one round of Brazil Butt Lift and then continue on with a hybrid of Insanity and P90X. I know it doesn't seem like I want to lose a lot but a few lbs are a lot on a small frame.

    Anyhow, good luck to all!!

    Hi! I'm Julie - a 31yr old Mass girl. Starting day 1 of insanity tomorrow and am completely out of shape. My boyfriend and an old gf of mine are starting it all together. Wish us luck!! Not gonna lie... I'm def a little scared, haha! :tongue:
  • Hi, my name is Crystal and my husband and I have started the Insanity workout today...got our fit test out of the way. I started the workout about 3 months ago and got half way through when I just fell off completely. I started off by skipping one day, then two then just stopped all together. I have been on fitness pal for about a year now but I really want to take advantage of it this time around and get all the support I can get! I'm not very good at sticking to something for more than a month, I get bored easily! So, please feel free to friend me and we can help each other out :) The first month that I did finish, I did not lose too much weight but I did go down 2 pant sizes so I lost inches...I think I just got comfortable with that and that's another reason I stopped but I am not where I want to be yet. So here I go again, but this time hoping and being confident that I can finish the program this time- I know it will be a great help having a support team on here and having a workout buddy also. Thanks!! Good luck everyone :)

    This is my 2nd round. I miss Insanity and the high I get from the work out so I'm going to do month 1 again.

    Hi everyone,

    My name's Alexander, I'm 33 y.o
    I started INSANITY 2 days ago...
    The reason is that I gain weight after my surgery last December and I want to get back in shape. THE HARD WAY!
    I also do martial arts (hapkido) twice a week. (around 3 hours in total)

    Feel free to add me as an insanity friend :)

    Take care
  • Hi Everyone , My name is Danielle I am 33 from Long Island NY , and I'm on day 5 of Insanity . My finance and I are doing this to get in better shape for our upcoming wedding. I don't think I could do this without him and I commend those who are doing this alone. That's dedication. We have been trying to follow the meal plan the best we can . What is everyone putting in for the exercise log ? I looked up insanity and nothing comes up. Should we start Shakeology ? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Tonight is our first day of Pure Cardio and I'm scared LOL . Wish us luck !!! :love:
  • Hello! My name is Michele and I currently live in Albany, NY. My roommate and I decided to start Insanity after I saw a fbook friend of mine post a before and after picture and she looks great!! We just got it in the mail today and are going to start it tomorrow. We also bought the Shakeology after speaking with other people, so we are splitting a months supply and if we like it, we will buy more from there. I figured with the 30 day money back guarentee why not? I hope that we can help each other stay motivated and get through the next 2 months!!
  • Shakeology is a great product. It might be expensive but I have yet to find another protein shake that compares in taste. I have a shake in the morning and it keeps me full through to lunch. It's improved my body's ability to process foods and I can rely on it when I have a "bad" day the previous day. Two shakes the next day and I feel back on track.
