    I'm starting tomorrow (2/11) with the Fit Test. We'll see how it goes. I don't have the nutrition guide, or plan to follow it, I just want to be in better shape than I am now.

    Do y'all mind if an old fat guy joins you? I just bought a used set that will be here on Thursday. I'll start Friday. You could also start a group to make keeping up easier.

    I'd like to join you also! how do you track insanity on mfp?

    That's the thing... I've been on forums and found nothing too useful :(

    I'll track it as 'aerobics high impact', as I don't have a hrm. This is what I've been using for some workouts I do at the gym somehow similar to Insanity and I've been losing weight, getting fitter, and I feel healthy, so it probably works :)

    Beachbody calculates the calories you need to eat on Insanity with their membership. Mine (Female, 130 lbs, occasionally active, some weight to lose) is 1900 for reference :)

    Hey everyone,

    Lets all come back here after out fit test tonight (for the ones starting today) and chat about it? Swap count numbers, celebrate, cry, moan? Thos of you who are starting a bit later can have a helpful, first hand account of what awaits you... Muahahahaha ;)

    See you all later, and feel free to add me. Have a great one!

    I would, but you have to live either in the US or Canada, and I'm in England :(

    I'm sure it will be fine, there's a lot of people doing it the way I'm doing it too. If not, I'll play with it a bit :)

    All the best!

    Google is your friend if you fancy a peek at the Insanity nutrition guide.

    I can post the equation they use late (on my phone at the mo) but its the Harris Benedict times 1.7 for the level of activity then minus 500 cals to lose.

    I'm on my third round. Week 4 tomorrow.

    I log that I've done the exercise but put 1 calorie burns... I've changed my calorie goal to the one I got from the equation in the insanity nutrition guide so I don't have to worry about 'eating back' calories and just stick to my goal.

    Hi, how much do you eat in calories?

    I would love to but I don't think I can do it just yet, plus I don't have any of the dvds and I can't seem to find it on youtube, if anyone does know how to find it on youtube I would love to at least try it out.

    Question for those already doing Insanity: What keeps you going? What time do you usually workout?

    I am starting insanity after I finish the p90x round I am on. (5 weeks to go)

    If you want to add the exercises to myfitnesspal just go to the exercise tab, click on "my exercises" then click the "create exercise" button and put it in as cardio with whatever calories they will burn. Thats what I do with the P90X workouts.
