    Awesome! I just started Month 2 this week. I'm on Day 38. I'm on my 2nd day off due to a sore knee. I'm taking the three day weekend off then hopefully getting back into it.

    Awesome! Good luck to all of you doing Insanity too and thanks, everyone! I had to take a few days off too because of a stupid sinus and ear infection that kept coming back. Nothing is stopping me now though! lol I'm going to start Turbofire after this, I can't wait!

    Awesome job. That is great. I am starting Insanity in a week. I am on day 83 of P90X. I am looking forward to Shaun T and Insanity.

    Month 2 is a whole other level compared to the first. My advice would be to take it slow at first. I went at it really intense and I'm paying for it now. I suggest doing your fit test and the first day separately.

    Your results are so incredible! If a stranger is proud of you, think of how much impact you've made on yourself! Girl, I just started Day 1 of Insanity today! It is kicking my butt and my calfs are sore, but I will continue on! I want to hear all about this. What was your progress like throughout it so far? How did it feel? What did you learn? Will you give this newbie some advice?! :bigsmile:

    Wow!! You are amazing!! :blushing:
    My husband and I tried Insanity. We did the Fit Test which we sucked miserably at and then did the day 1 workout and gave up. It's sooooooo hard. We restarted about three times, giving up each time. :grumble:
    How much weight (as in pounds on the scale) did you lose doing Insanity?
    From what I have been reading/hearing, the scale doesn't move as much as your body changes. Just curious.

    Keep up the AMAZING work!!!!

    My advice is -- remember that the coach is just a picture on the TV. He can't really see what you're doing. If the workout is too intense for you, you can put the DVD on pause, take a break, or even decide the program isn't for you and try a different program instead. .

    Wow congratulations you look fantastic! I'm on week 4 and am already happy with the results i'm seeing, I hope mine are as good as yours by the end of it. Did you lose much scale weight in the first month? I dropped an initial 4 lbs. the first week but nothing since. I read you're eating 2,000 calories, i've been keeping mine at 1200-1500 I'm thinking it might need to be upped.

    Thanks!! I think I may do that...had to skip a day this weekend since we were gone but I finished up Week 5 last night and am doing my Fit Test today. I was nervous about cramming all that in one so I think I'll take your advice. I will definitely have to ease into it...just the 35-40 minute workouts are hard for me so I can't imagine what Month 2 will be like!!

    Thank you!! =) I'm just now starting week 6 actually! This was just my results from the first month!! =) And yes, I would definitely up your calorie intake. Mine just depends on how much I'm burning and how hungry I am...I don't really limit myself, just try to focus on making healthy choices and not overeating. Just don't let your body go hungry or else you'll have a heck of a time burning fat and building muscle!! ;)

    Thank you!! My hubby started with me too but only made it a couple days! ;) I swear after the first week it gets more tolerable...still rough but your body gets used to being pushed. It's all mind over matter, I definitely didn't want to keep going but I'm glad I did!!! =)

    So far, my progress has been awesome! I'm just now starting Week 6 and I feel amazing. I have so much energy and I'm feeling a lot stronger. My Fit Test results have improved drastically. I'm enjoying the workouts a lot even though they're tough and I've learned that I loooove cardio!! =) My only advice is to not give up! Push through, even if you have to jog in place or modify some moves. There are times where I don't give it my all but I still burn a ton of calories. I definitely recommend getting a heart rate monitor and be sure to stretch and drink looots of water!!!
