I am now on day 3 of the Insanity work out DVD's. Can I just say it is killer! I was wondering who else is doing these workouts. Were you super sore at the beginning? My calves are on fire! I have about 10 more lbs to lose and would love to tone up my belly and love handles. Would love to hear from whoever is doing this the same time I am. And would also love to hear about your results.

    Congrats to both of you for doing Insanity. It really is an Insane workout. I will tell you right now that my first day of insanity I vomited. The next day yep my calves were on fire but I worked through and got awsome results from it. Stick it out and you both will not be disappointed with the results.

    I'm hoping for my midsection to shrink too. Having 3 babies has reaked havoc on it...and me eating unhealthy for years!

    @capinoy-Thanks! I will try my hardest to work through it. I'm tired of being unhappy with my appearance.

    I ordered Insanity TODAY! When I told my co-workers I ordered it they said I must be insane to want to do that! lol. I have recently lost 65 pounds and need to tone it up now. Hoping this will do the trick! Keep me in your prayers! ;-)

    I am in month 2 and love it. The first 3 days of initially starting it was the worst. For 3 days I groaned just to bend and sit on the toilet, LOL! But stay with it and you WILL see results :)

And would also love to hear about your results.

    Yay we started the same time! I finished day 3 last night :) My thighs, butt, and core are the most sore. It hurts to sit down and stand up lol. Call me crazy, but I've noticed a difference even in the past 3 days. My belly has flattened out a lot and my clothes are already getting loose. My goal is just to finish the program and give it my all. Technically I have 10-15 pounds I'd like to lose eventually, but thinking about weight loss will drive me crazy, especially since I've already gained 3 pounds this week! I will finish up on the exact day of my 30th birthday, so hopefully I'll also be ready for that freakum dress haha.

    What's your diet been like? I have been eating generally what I want (protein, complex carbs, fruits, veggies, and healthy fats), avoiding sugar and alcohol. My utmost concern is getting enough protein and calories. Exercise tends to zap my appetite. But I've been sleeping like a BABY.

    I'm on Month 2, Week 1. The first month is tough, especially if you are not use to intense workouts, but after the first 2 weeks, you will see strength improvements. When you get into Month 2, you'll realize that Month 1 was just one long warm-up, LOL.

    I think its important to remember to do it at your own pace at the beginning, unless you uber fit, you will not be able to stay with the group at the beginning, but as long as you maintain intensity and keep your heart rate up, you will see results. Then keep increasing your own intensity, as you get stronger.

    Along with that is diet. Got to eat right. Myfitnesspal is helping me keep track of the calories, as well as the calories I burn during the workouts. I've never burned so many calories before, in one workout session. Its good stuff.

    Good Luck!

    As someone who just recently completed the Insanity program, I can tell you that it doesn't get much easier, but holy moly does it ever make you feel good after each brutal workout!

    The thing I'd really like to stress is that you should try to follow the nutrition plan. After completing the program I was disappointed that I didn't see the kind of results I was hoping for (in my appearance) but definitely felt stronger and felt i had better endurance. I didn't follow any type of eating plan besides logging my food on MFP. So I think that's why I didn't get the results in the mirror that I had imagined.

    I will do it again in a little while once my work schedule settles down... and the next time I will watch more closely what I eat! :)

    I am about to start on Day 25! I wasn't too sore in the beginning, but I definitely feel it in my calves and knees! I can tell I have lost inches in my waist and hips! I have heard that most of the weight comes off in the second month, but I am extremely happy with the results already! Best of luck!

    Just finished Day 4! Yay! I loved it! My calves hurt the worst and my ribs and big fat gut. Hoping that means it is working. I haven't noticed any difference though. :o( Good for you! I have gained about 2 lbs this week. I don't know why? I've been exercising like crazy and eating healthy. Wonder if it's because of insanity and what we are putting our muscles through.

    My diet I have just been doing 1200 calories, but then when I add in my exercise I can eat up to 1500, but I try to keep it around 1350-1400. I have no idea what I'm doing. Eating lots of veggies and fruits. Drinking lots of water and a protein shake every day after my work out. I wish it zapped my appetite. I am so hungry all the time. Keep in touch! I would love to follow along with your progress too!

    I just finished Insanity a few weeks ago. That first week is CRAZY!!! When you do your recovery workout your body some how gets back to being a little less sore. Work through and you will feel AMAZING!! Congrats!
