    Hi! Look through some of the older forums (google "results insanity" or "before/after insanity" to find the links, as there some great before/after threads on here with encouraging pics - there are also great pics on youtube). I'm a bit too much of a fitness beginner (ie. scaredy cat) to do insanity - although my husband has promised to do it with me once i'm a bit more in shape. I'm currently doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (just started on Monday as part of a group on here doing it). That's enough for me for now. But good luck!!

    I did Insanity once, but since I did skip a couple of the workouts (mainly because things got in the way) I didn't feel I deserved the t-shirt.

    However, TODAY I am on day 18 (maybe 19). I couldn't believe how much better I did from the 1st fit test to the 2nd. My advice is to do what you can (don't try and keep up with them) to get through each workout. Another hugh thing is to eat right. You don't have to follow their food plan, but do your best to make healthy choices.

    Believe me the feeling of accomplishment is awesome!

    I completed insanity once and am 2.5 weeks away from finishing it for the second time. I started this insane journey on May 20th. :smile: My advice is to not get too discouraged if you don't see weight loss right away. I only lost 4 lbs in the first 4 weeks then 9 lbs in the last 5 weeks for a total loss of 13 lbs during the first round. I feel like the infomercial makes you feel like you will shed a ton of weight really fast and that's not how it works for everyone. I know they're just doing what they can to sell the video....and it does work, it's just not an overnight change. Also, be sure to fuel your body. Good luck!

    Done multiple rounds of insanity, insanity asylum, and p90x. Currently doing a hybrid of insanity & p90x. Keep positive & take it 1 day at a time. You will get results :)

    Wow! Thanks to all who replied. I just popped the dvd in and here goes nothing! o Greggaga guy what is the info on the group I will definitely join it for motivation and encouragement. I just hope it works enough that I feel good enough about myself to get back into my bikini. It's a done deal we just purchased the airline tickets today. SO no more days of pushing it off!! Nov 17th - 24th It'll be here before I know it!! So while all you are enjoying your turkey i'll be hopefully congratulating my success with margaritas on the beach :-) I will post a before pic to show you guys what I'm dealing with and show the progress. I feel the biggest challenge will be giving up the foods that I love. I am gonna do everything I can to make it work. Last June we went (2011) and I didn't look perfect but definitely much more fit than this go round. Hopefully it'll be worth all the sweat and sacrifice in the end. I'll keep you posted and thanks again for all the replies :-)

    I finished on July 8th and am currently finishing up Week 6 in my second round. Don't give up... Insanity has become part of my lifestyle, and although I plan to go back to doing other stuff after this, I will keep popping those discs in once in a while. The workouts are definitely effective and challenging!!

    My husband and I have done 2 rounds. The difference in what I am physically capable of still amazes me. I can do push-ups now, something I could never say before.
