in Introduce Yourself
I'm 32 and about 25 pounds heavier than I want to be. Started insanity about 2 weeks ago on Monday, March 11th. Already feeling the pull of The Lazy Monster (my couch) calling me to just sit a while. I'd love to have some Insanity friends or really anyone that is dedicated to working out and losing 20-30 pounds. I'll log my diet and exercise daily. Help me out someone?

    I am in the middle of training for my first Sprint Triathlon on April 14th but then my next workout will be Insanity. You can add me if you want. Oh, and I am a Mets fan. LOL Just FYI and a huge Giants fan in case that is relevant but more importantly I am a daily logger, active daily, have lost 90 pounds, I think I am a big motivator, and I am told my posts are funny. Your call :) Either way, good luck on your journey.

    Feel free to add me!! I am kinda a newby, but already seeing results. I've lost 8 pounds, and have 13 more left (at least). Also, I will probably start Insanity soon as well. :)

    Wow. You have lost that much weight? That is great. I am also a big on logging everything. I would love to add you if that would be ok. I could sure use any advice. I can't give any but...I love to be a cheerleader in this journey of losing weight to better aid us in our daily lives.:smile::happy:

    I'm gonna add all of you people. But first, observation... Women way outnumber men here. You ladies must be more motivated than men. (We are kinda slow). Wonder why that is

    YEAH AROSS!! @Patti- I love Insanity. I'm only in week two of it right now so I know there are more qualified people than myself to give you a complete rundown. But I can say you will burn lots and lots of calories. It's amazing to see how much you can sweat in 30 minutes or so. On the downside, your thighs will HATE you for at least a week. If you have a lot of steps to walk up, make sure you leave early. It hurts. Also, don't expect the same results as P90X. (Although they are both painful. After my first day of chest and back, I thought I needed a sports bra and I'm a guy). Don't be scared though. You can always modify. I say go for it.

    I'm new as of 3/21. Fell free to add me too. I had lost 95 (was within 5 lbs of my goal) and backslid. Time to take that unwelcome 55 lbs back off.

    Good luck to everyone! You CAN do it!

    That'll be great because I have some thunder thighs! LOL I'm just a little worried because I've been doing some weight training and I don't want to lose those muscles, but it looks to me like there are a lot of body weight exercises so I should be good

    You already 'friended' me, but I'll be happy to cheer you on. I'm on all the time, mostly lurking, but here to give u a push if you need one. Doing insanity for two weeks is already a big step, you got this!
