Hello Everyone,
I am starting insanity today. I am looking for some new friends who are starting insanity as well to be a motivation. Also to discuss meals and to compare our wt loss together. They say you will most likely finish a workout if you have a buddy to help you thru it. :-) If you are interested again I am starting the fit test and Insanity program today and I am 173lbs. Looking forward to meet a new workout buddies.

Thanks
Lena

    I am on week 9 of Insanity/P90x hybrid. I will be going for another two weeks and then starting Insanity/Asylum for a month. I have a support group on FB for Insanity if you like to join.

    It is the best workout ever! Make sure you have GOOD shoes though. I did one cycle and started another and found out I have a nasty heel spur. Good luck! I'll be starting again as soon as I get my foot taken care of!

    Insanity is GREAT! The first few days can be rough (expect to be sore), but once you get through that you should be good! I think it is most important to just always do it, do not make excuses as to why you need to skip a day.

    I am on week 4 of Insanity! I love it! I haven't lost a whole lot of weight but have def. lost inches and can tell my clothes are fitting better. Feel free to add me. We weigh the same - I am at 173.2 and trying to get down to the 130s! Good luck and stick to it! Make sure you always have your water near by during the workouts! You will need it!

    I am picking it up today from someone on craigslist. Not sure whether I will start tonight or do my normal workout (which at 1200-1400 calories isnt terribly sane itself)

    Hey Lena! I would love to be your buddy. Restarting Insanity today after recovering over the past few weeks from a recent (unrelated to Insanity) foot injury. I will add you. Can't wait to hear how things went with the fit test. It in and of itself is a BEAST! :-)

    I am beginning week 2 of Insanity also. I cannot count the times I have started this workout and then within the first week found an excuse to skip a day and then a few days then I never go back.

    I am bound to see this through. I know that I will see results if I just get upstairs and do the workouts. Funny thing is...I love doing them when I'm working out. I have just developed so many self-defeating habits. Gonna change that in the next 60 days.

    Good luck to everyone.

    I couldn't agree more about the shoes!!! I started 5 weeks ago and on the third day I woke up and could not walk. I have had numerous sports injuries but nothing like the pain I felt in my feet! It was so bad I thought I was goint to have to call out sick to work:( I had worn my running shoes and did the work out on a concrete floor.... fastforward to today, I am finally going to try and start the program again. My feet hurt just to walk, I couldn't even imagine trying all of the moves necessary to complete the workouts before now but I am tired of not doing the workouts so we'll see how things go:)

    My Husband and I just did our Fit Test last night-we couldn't wait for Monday. Holy Smokes it kicked my butt! Just remember to push yourself but not over do it and stop if you have to. I am definately feeling it in my glutes!!

    I am on week 2 of Insanity and loving every minute of it! In the 1st week I lost 1/2 inch off my waist. I am not really looking to lose weight as much as toning myself. I wake up every morning excited to do my workout and have noticed an increase in energy throughout my day. Good luck!!

    Don't personally recommend this one.

    Prefer something you can stick to and help modify a lifestyle. The key point to weight loss, and indeed weight gain (in muscle and not fat) is always consistency and passion (serious).
