Okay ladies and gents.... we all came to this group looking to get encouragement and motivation and hopefully do the same for others. Today we are up to 40 members, but just a handful of us are speaking up. I'm hoping the silence isn't a sign of wavering determination. How is everyone doing keeping up with the workouts? Tell us about your struggles and challenges. Are there things that are going really well? Have you tried a new recipe since starting Insanity; did you love it/hate it? Speak up and share them - don't be shy! :)

    That definitely seems like a kick *kitten* amount of improvement!!!!! Awesome job!!!

    Insanity is amazing and I love it!!!!! :):) It it just the type of change I needed with my workouts.

    My biggest challenge is my damn feet but it's only hurting during the warmup. The balls of my feet hurt but I just keep pushing through. I'm just glad they only hurt for the warmup and not during the whole workout :)

    I cooked the egg white omelet with chicken and mushrooms last week and it was great. It was my first egg white omelet that I had ever made. :)

    I agree with tkillion..this group is huge but only a minimal amount of people post anything. You joined this group for support and motivation knowing that you were starting insanity last monday so now just let us all know how it is going for you. :)

    I took my measurements yesterday and I am so proud of myself. I lost 1 inch from my chest, 1/2 inch from my waist and 1.5 inches from my left and right thigh. Yah!!!! I am not weighing myself yet. I want to concentrate on the inches for now plus I need a new scale.

    Congratulations to everyone who is hanging in there. Today's workout was challenging for me because I am getting sick but nothing can stop me!

    Everyone please post comments on our board, It is so encouraging to know that there are other people out there going through these workouts also. It gives me the motivation that I need to keep going.

    Hey all, I'm guilty of joining the group but not speaking! Ooops ;) I do find however that everyones posts are very motivating
    I am on day 11 of Month 1 so today is my Cardio Recovery day which I love! After my first week I lost 3.75lbs but this week (my weigh in day is a Tuesday) I put on 1lb so I was very frustrated, however my hubby said he could see my stomach changing shape and he thinks Ive definitely lost inches... I didn't take any measurements before I started, so I am going to do those tomorrow morning and keep monitoring that to see how I get on over the next few weeks

    I have found that early morning workouts before work are better for me than those after work, as I just do not feel like I have done what I can in the evening where I am so tired!
    I also find the arches of my feet are hurting - I think I will try some other trainers to work in and see if that helps! Keep up the good work everyone! :)

    Everyone is doing such a great job sticking to the workouts!! They are tough, but it's going to be so worth it. Keep the big picture in mind! An hour a day is only like 5% of the entire day. We can committ to 5% right :)
