Hello everyone.. I'm interested .. I have lost 10 kilos already since last october, and now I want to loose another 10. So how does this work?0

Welcome Francine and Mojito_Moreno! Thanks for joining in the challenge! I'm excited too and need ALL the support I can use!
My name is Tye, and so far I've lost 12lbs but I have been on this rollercoaster for years! Its time to get my butt busy and serious! I started last night too... I'll write in my fitness test results later on tonight (don't have the sheet with me right now).
Mojito_Moreno.... do you have the Insantiy workout DVDs? We are working out with the DVDs (or if you're doing it with a class, thats good too) and taking the 60 day challenge together.
We'll support each other, encourage and track our progress through the 60 days because from what I hear.... its one of the hardest workouts ever! And judging from the Fit Test... OMG! And that was just the fit test, lol
Feel free to post topics related to the challenge 0 -

So excited that I found this board. I too start the Fit Test last night. Boy did I feel like such a loser after writing those numbers down. All I can say is it can only get better. I'm looking to lose 20-25 pounds. I'm current 5'4" and weight 145 pounds. All of my weight is concentrated in my stomach, hips, butt and thighs.
Has anyone purchased a heart rate monitor to start the challenge? I am such a numbers person so I have the spreadsheets set up with calories taken in and goals but need a way to record calories from the exercises. Didn't know if anyone had a specific one they could recommend.0 -
Hello! My name is Megan. I am 5'2 and 152lbs. I started Insanity yesterday and it was DIFFICULT. I am a smoker also... Been trying to quit for over a month now and i got a lil over a week and then pick it back up. UGH. so hard to stop.
I attempted the fit test yesterday morning and couldn't finish the whole thing! I did the warm ups and the 1st 3 exercises and I couldn't breath and felt like i was going to die! When my husband got home... He was trying to tell me he could do any workout video in his sleep... (he is 5'3 and 120lbs and ALL muscle) short and skinny, i know. so i challenged him... (hes a smoker also)... So we restarted the video that evening and he only got like 5 mins in before he had to stop! I was so happy to prove him wrong! But i got to finish the rest of the exercises i didn't do earlier in the day. Im stoked to keep doing the workouts... and hope to get results! I hope everyone gets the results they are looking for!0 -
Hi Everyone, my Name is Jessica. I am 5'6, 264lbs. I am currently "shredding for the wedding" and hoping to gain a new mindset and lifestyle to a path of better health. My weightloss "mini" goal is 26lbs, I am going for my 10% (as weight watchers calls it.) My sister and brother in law gave me the insanity DVD and I was going strong for about a week and fell off the band wagon. I AM going to push through this time, and I also will be doing my fit test this week!
LETS HELP EACH OTHER!!! Motivation is key. Good luck everyone.0 -
Hi Everyone! My name is Valerie and I actually started the 60-Day Challenge on March 18, 2013 and everything is going great so far! Because my friend bought the program and is sharing it with me, I won't be able to earn my t-shirt but the results are going to be great!
Here's to a healthier version of ourselves in 60 days and don't give up!0 -
Ugh where'd my post go?
Anywho, can I join you all? I started insanity on March 18 so I'm now on week 2! I love it! I thought I was going to die the fit test. I have seen a big improvement since then.
Did pure cardio today and did great!
I'm starting at 153 and I'm about 5'2ish
Let's go!0 -
Hello everyone ... WAVES
I am doing Insanity, got a bit of a head start *winks*. I started on March 9th (which isn't a Monday, so I have Friday off instead of Sunday). Just did fit test 2 over the weekend.0 -
Hi Vermm49, welcome to the group! Glad to have you on board!0
-
Hey Booloomom! Yes, that fit test was no joke, lol. I don't have a heart rate monitor either but I've been thinking about purchasing one... not sure what to get since there are so many out there. It'll be nice to see how much I am burning so I can be able to write it down on MFP as well.
Welcome to the challenge! Let's Rock!0 -
Hey Megan! LOL... I thought I was gonna die too! My son kept cheering me on and telling me "You Can Do This Mommy!" So that gave me some motivation:laugh: I couldn't show him that I was a quiter.... but trust me, I wanted to turn the TV off and crawl under a rock! Its good if your husband is joining you... nice to have a support system.
Glad you got to finish the exercises.... keep up the good work and WELCOME!!!0 -

Hi! My name is Lindsay and I am looking to be held accountable through motivation by joining this group. I am 5'0" and currently weigh 155....major drag since I have gained 25 pounds over the last year due to throwing nutrition and healthy eating habits out the window along with avoiding the gym. I have tried to start Insanity in the past and have given up within a few days.
Tonight I will do the fit test....
Thank you for starting this group!!0 -
Hey there everyone! I just started yesterday too! Hoping to see as awesome results as my friend (who just finished the first 30) has. It will help to hear other peoples progress! Here we go!0

hi! i'm in my fourth week now. started with 85 kg and lost 1 kg only, but my measurements are slowly changing. first week was hell: i felt dizzy and sore so much that i had trouble sitting
second week is a lot easier, no more soreness, just plain old sweating every day.
i'm very strict with dieting - eating about 1800 cals of only fruit, vegetables and lean meat and take protein shakes after workouts.
important: don't expect to lose lots of weight in the first month, magic happens in the second month.0 -

Yeah, I think its great that there are a few people in the group that are already a couple weeks in. I'm in week 3 and in week 1 I GAINED 4lbs and freaked out...then I learned that when you start an intense workout, your body is shocked and retains water as a protective measure to help your joints. For me, the scale doesn't tell the story - I lost inches though...that's for sure and can feel the difference in the fit of my jeans.
Inches come off before the pounds do, if I can say anything to those who just started...TAKE PICS, STAY OFF THE SCALE, USE MEASURING TAPE.0 -
I was happy to see this group as I started with my Fit Test yesterday. I was shocked how sore I was this morning as I run regularly and throw in 10 min trainers videos every other day (about 30 min worth). Regardless, I got up this morning to do day 2 as I am so ready to tone up. I had two children in the last four years (I am 37), lost most of the weight (40 lbs) in the last six months but would like to be at my all time low (145) by the end of May for vacation. I realize I may not lose this last 15lbs using Insanity so I know to quit looking at the scale and look more in the mirror. Hope we all have great luck!!!! Thank you for starting this group and letting join :bigsmile:0

I was just about to ask on the forums has anyone on here tried the Insanity work out, then I found this group. I want to take the next step. I have worked out for many years and am in decent shape but never ate well enough or did enough cardio to get ripped . But after a few of Shaun T's workouts and with using Fitness Pal the last few weeks my goals look pretty attainable. Can't wait to get home at get my burn on with Insanity. So far I lost 13 lbs in 3 weeks and feeling fresh...0

Hello, I am Tracy and I started Insanity a little earilier, on March 18. I like the idea of this group which is why I joined. I have lost 4 pounds since I started. I am looking forward to working out on Insanity and sharing my goals with the group.0

Hi, I'm Caroline. 36 years old, mother of four, needing to lose about 40 pounds. I'm about to go do my day 3 workout and I'm excited (even if a little sore). So glad to find this group. Go us!0

I'm excited to have found this Group. I have been doing Insanity for 16 days now. I did my second Fit Test yesterday and improved on every exercise. I'm trying to lose 50 pounds, I have already lost ten with Insanity(probably more but gained back as muscle), healthy eating, and lots of water. so 40 to go
Today is Polymeric Cardio Circuit LOL0 -

Are you following the nutrition guide or just basic clean eating? I am hoping for great results; which I think the 10 lbs in 15 days is extraordinary.0 -
@Ibransford
well i started eating healthy about a week before starting insanity, then when i got the guide I followed it since but just for the recipes and number of meals, i lowered my calorie intake way down. the guide wanted me to eat 3200 a day! I have been eating 2000. Im just experimenting. I don't really know what im doing yet.
I do eat lots of carbs all day, then after my workout, mostly just protein because i work out late.0 -

I actually was a smoker ( about 3-5 a day ) and when I decided to get insanity I knew I couldn't keep smoking so I purchase the nicotine patch. Best money ever spent, Today it has been a week with no cravings and I can so tell a difference.0 -
Hello, I started insanity two weeks ago. Tomorrow I do my second fit test and I'm looking forward to see my numbers on the scale and measuring tape. This program is starting to get a little easier but Month two looks like it's going to get tough again. I can't wait.0
