    Hi I am Crystal, I hope to have a copy of Insanity by next week. I am really looking forward to some motivation to get in shape by this summer!!! I did P90X for about 5 weeks and took a week off for Spring Break and having trouble getting going again!!!! :( Last time I weighed I was 152 and I am 5'6. I too am sick of weighing myself it is constantly going up and down.

    Welcome, I did P90X last year but it was not for me I found it long, slow and boring.
    ( I get my Insanity on Monday according to FedEx.)

    Thanks for joining!

    Hello, my name is Shalla. I should be receiving my Insanity in a couple of days. I'm super excited! I'm so ready to challenge myself and change my body. I want to stick to a program fully for the whole time. 60 days I can totally commit to. When I started getting serious about weight loss I was a whopping 203 and I now weigh in at the 170's. I've been in the 170's for about 2 months or so because I keep getting off track. April will be a new start for me.

    Hey Shalla, good job on losing all that weight and thanks for joining. We will get through this together.

    7 days 17mins & 27sec till Insanity!!
  • Hi all! I'm a 31 year old female (I'll be 32 in 2 weeks and pretty happy that my birthday falls on a Sunday so that it will be my day off! Ha!). I have slowly gained weight over the past 10 years, due to a lot of mental and emotional stress, and, let's face it, my laziness. Well, I'm done. I've had it. It's time to change...for the BETTER! I started at 180lbs, am now down to 168lbs since REALLY committing to change in January, and my goal weight is 120lbs, although I wouldn't care WHAT the scale said if I could fit in a size 6 again! I did Nutrisystem for a month back in Jan this year, liked how it helped me to better gauge food portions, and also jump started my weight loss journey. I've also been walking/jogging on the treadmill 40-60 minutes about 5-6 days a week, and in the last 3 weeks have added 3 days of strength training, about 20-30 minutes each day. I ordered my Insanity program today off ebay, and hoping it arrives before April 1...but as SOON as it arrives, I'm starting! Can't wait! If I'm brave enough after the 60 days, I may decide to post before/after pics. I'm just not there, mentally, yet though. Good luck to everyone!
  • Hi, I'm Vik, just started it today. 32, did start it two weeks ago but was a false start, now trying to do it again, did day 1 today - Plyometric Cardio Circuit

    Hiya. My name is Emma and im wanting to start insanity on the 4th April! Finishing the 30 day shred first. Phew! Its going to be so hard but you just have to keep pressing play. Or so I have been told :) I started my weightloss journey this year weighing 231 pounds :frown: after my LB was born in Feb 2012, and i am now 201lbs. Ive lost 8.5lbs on the shred so far. And hoping to lose a good 20lbs doing insanity, hopefully!

    Edit: I'm 5ft9in and would love to hit around 175ish with insanity (pre-pregnancy weight)

    You can do it! Just have to remember to go at your own pace and try your best. The weight will just start to melt off like butter. So I've been told LOL. I'm not doing it for that purpose. It's expected but I'm doing this to mentally and physically challenge myself that's my issue. When the burn starts kicking in I'm like oh god. We're going to get through this though! I'm excited for Monday to hit! Btw has any of you looked at dig deeper or the fit test? I won't feel so bad if you have LOL :tongue:

    I started Insanity in January but life has gotten in the way and although I am doing each day in the workout - it isn't necessarily 6 days on, 1 off. Sometimes you just don't have the time to get a workout in random days of the week. Anyways - I've also been eating better so that's a contributor for sure, but I'm in the second week of the second month and I'm down almost 22 pounds! Started my journey at the beginning of the year at 236.6 and so excited to be 215! Only 50 more to go!

    I loved the first month. Don't get me know, it's tough! But the second month I find to be a little too long. I'm going to stick it out and finish and start again. Because even at the end of the first month, the workouts were still really hard so I think that I will still benefit from the first month again :)

    Good luck everyone. I think it will be a total love/hate relationship - but it's worth it!

    Oh wow! congrats on the 22lbs you dropped. :flowerforyou: Thanks for the support and keep up the good work. Glad to have you as part of the group!
  • Hi all, I'm Katie. I'm 28 years old and need to lose the 25 pounds I've put on over the last few years. Just started on MFP about a week ago and did my Insanity fit test today - kicked my butt but I'm ready for more!

    LOL I actually tried to do it the same day and was like oh **** LOL I was sore the next day and since I've been working out since that day I'm still sore. I'm like I have to do that again on Monday?! That's what I get for getting too excited. What are you gonna do? LOL. Yip, I'm ready to dig deep and go for it! This is going to be hell but I know it will be worth it in the end. Good luck to everyone and I look forward to sharing this experience with you all! We got this! Don't be scared LOL. Embrace the pain because its only short lived. :) starting Monday! Woot woot!

    Hey all! My name is Bianca but everyone calls me B. Just finished the fit test for day one. Definitely room for improvement but I'm happy to say that my results were better than my previous attempt at the Day 1 fit test. Looking forward to completing Insanity and seeing what kind of results I'll have after 60 days. Hopefully this will be a fun, active, and supportive group! Good luck on the fit test everyone!!
  • Good morning everyone! My name is Africia and I am on Day 2 today! Yesterday's fit test about KILLED me. I am 40yrs old and outta shape. :angry: but hopefully I will stick with it with your support and encouragement. There is a NO QUIT attitude in me. There are no quitters only finishers. :drinker: :laugh: :tongue: :flowerforyou:

    Hi Everyone! My name is Lauren and I did the Insanity Fit Test yesterday. To give you a little bit of background, my husband and I actually started Insanity back in September of 2012 but only did it for a month until the holiday season rolled around and we fell off our wagon. I have tried multiple times to get back into it, but cannot seem to get motivated.

    We both started again yesterday, and I hope with summer just around the corner, we'll be able to push through. I will say, during the first month that we both stuck with the program, we both could see very good results. That being said, I know it works, and I'm hoping this group can help me stay on track :)

    Hi everyone. I ordered INSANITY last week and it should be arriving on Friday. Do you mind if I start it a few days later than all of you?

    A bit of background on me....I've been committed to a fit and healthy lifestyle since Oct 2012. Since then I've lost 39 lbs which is awesome and I'm really proud of myself. Well the infamous plateau has hit and I haven't lost any weight in 3 weeks. I still want to lose 24 lbs to get to my goal weight. I figured I needed to do something different with my exercise and decided to get on the INSANITY bandwagon. I'll be able to commit for 3 weeks before I go on a 11 day vacation to Italy then I'll finish the last 6 weeks afterwards.

    Hi all, I'm Charlotte and I started Insanity on Wednesday 3rd April! Hope you don't mind be joining late!
    I was a bit naughty and had a rest day after Day 2 due to having a late night and just being too sore the following morning to get up, however I was back on it again on Saturday morning.

    I used to weigh 188.5lbs but then got down to 154.5lbs by July last year ready for my holiday. I then let it slip a bit when I got back so when I weighed in at the start of Insanity I was 164.5...

    My goal weight in line with my BMI is 137lbs (maximum), though to be honest I would be happy around 140-145lbs (when I met my husband I was 147lbs and always told myself I was fat - I look back at photos now and wonder what I was thinking! I was slim (okay, not tiny, but still not bad!!)

    I try to do my workouts in the morning before work, but didn't manage to today, so I will be doing it when I go home from work.

    I have a girls holiday at the start of May, so will be off the program for a few days, but will be back on it again as soon as I get back ready for my family holiday in July! I am determined to do it this time, even if just to increase my fitness and not lose much weight (many of the before & after photos I have seen show so much change, but the people say they didn't lose loads so I cant wait to see!)

    Good luck everyone! xxx

    Hi Everyone! I'm Stacey and I just joined MFP around March 28 and started Insanity around March 30. So far I've kept it up and I've completed Day 12. I don't really feel stronger yet. I still feel like I'm ready to drop!

    I used to run a lot but after having two kids, I have not been able to keep up. So far I do Insanity right after I put the girls to bed. Hopefully this will get me back into shape soon!
