      Jamie you did great on that first fit test. Keep it up and you'll be crushing those numbers in no time!

      Today I did plyo cardio circuit and then a round of insane abs. I should have done insane abs first as I was kinda wiped after plyo. A helpful hint - when you get to the days where you do both pure cardio and cardio abs, do the ab workout first. It won't drain you nearly as much as pure cardio and you will be able to give more in each workout.

      Great job Brownie finishing week one, and Carrie for halfway thru the first week! You are both doing great!

      Squashyhelen - The hardest workouts come in month 2, and I think max cardio circuit is the hardest, yet that one is my favorite as well

      Amazing ! I hope my stomach will melt a little :) I really am craving the toned lean body I use to have .. Poor eating and siting first year of college showed me how quick it was to get back to square 1 but I'm determined to never go back! I hope you stick around for questions and that round two treats you well:)!

      There is no reason you won't melt that stomach a little, or even a lot with insanity. If you want to look I have my before and after pics up on my beachbody profile. You can search me out there under this same screen name. Just remember that 80% of the battle is in nutrition. I loosely followed the insanity elite nutrition guide using all the recipes that I liked. Sometimes making minor adjustments for taste as I needed.

      I started insanity in september. I did 2 rounds of the 60 day challange and I still use the videos along with other work outs. I was in great shape 4 years ago in high school , I lived to play lacrosse and volleyball. well I got out of playimg sports andwent from 108lbs to 147lbs (im 5'2). with doing insanity I lost 20lbs. It got me in btter shape then I was in highschool. I love this.work.out and tell everyone i know who wants to get in shape to try it. Its worth being sore, out of breath and sweety.

      OMG what?? @_@ I already have to prep talk myself each time before I click play - "Helen you can do this, have faith, look at all those other people who go insane results." Hopefully by the time month 2 rolls around I'll be better able to handle harder. Right now I'm just trying to not drown!

      I don't have the food guide! My dad gave me his insanity and he can't find the nutriorional book! I think my mom trew it out by accident. I live paleo so normally i eat very well:) except today cuz me and my roommate made paleo cupcakes and I had three! Oops they were just tasty this is why I don't normally cheat haha but fortunately there only 70cals each. Oh well Tomo
      Will be better .

      Hahahah you make me laugh girl! A guy in my law class found out I was doing insanity and asked me how I felt about it and which week I was on. He laughed and told me month 2 feels like you've never worked out before at all , it's insane no matter how good you are at month 1. I was like awesome! But we will get there :)!

      So, Week 1 is in the history books for me! I feel great! I'm so excited to start week 2. I'm waiting until friday to step on the scale. How's everyone else feeling?

      Awesome girl! Keep it up :)!

      I cant tell you about the pure cardio yet ( bad disk) but I can say that the tricep workouts on the cardio power disks I cant do. I can do the dips and a couple of the one leggers.. but the squatting V things. noway. Hopefully Ill work my way there. I try them and then do pushups or more regular dips in place of them :(

      Oh yes! I forgot about the dips! One leg dips - who the heck does those??

      We're truly crazy.

      That's awesome! Out of curiosity, when did you start seeing the changes in your body?

      just finished cardio recovery, what a nice mid week break, though I feel like I should be doing more, perhaps I will run with my dog.

      I have a friend that follows the paleo diet and workouts out like mad also. She has managed to lose 4 pounds over about 2-3 weeks working out with cardio as well as weights, and she has very little to lose eating 2500cals/day. I think you will be just fine! Don't worry about the cupcakes, we gotta indulge every now and then. I gave in to a reese egg yesterday and have no regrets! :)

      Don't worry you will be fine! Month 1 preps you for month 2. You will do a fantastic job!

      You asked someone else about when they saw changes - for me, the pics really started to show it 6 weeks in. I knew with the inches I was losing that everything was working, and I could see some of those results in my looser fitting jeans in just 2-3 weeks. My 6 week progress pics tho was where I stepped back and said wow, this really IS working. Now in my 11th week of insanity, and for the first time in my life, I can see the beginnings of a '4pack'. With a little more lower ab fat to lose I'm hoping to someday change that to '6pack'!

      shame you had to stop, but still a good choice. definitly shouldnt do insanity with an injury.

      Is anyone else doing a roadmap? I've been doing one for 2 weeks now and I'm not logging my exercise because my calories are already configured. I just haven't lost any weight yet since I've started.

      I just didn't know if anyone has any advice.

      Wow, alot of information on that link! I don't follow that, but I feel as long as you are eating healthy and at a deficit you will lose fat. Notice there I said fat, not weight. On the beachbody forums I've read over and over people early in the program not lose weight initially, and some even gain a pound or 2.

      Now, on to the whole scale and weight thing. Throw away the scale!! You will do much better to measure your success in your measurements. I take my measurements once a week on my chest, waist, hips, upper arms, and thighs. I've slowed in my weight loss, but I've still had noticeable losses in measurements. Weight can fluctuate up to 5 pounds in a day. Add in days where your sodium intake might be high and cause you to hold on to water, as well as the normal female cycle, and you can see why using a scale can make one go mad! Keep doing what you are doing, eat healthy, and at a healthy deficit, and you will get the results you are striving for.

      Sure did! I did cardio recovery also, along with insane abs. Those squat holds and pulses in cardio recovery are a beast! Today will be pure cardio and upper body weight training.
