Hi, I'm Brittany. I've been working out since I was 11. After having a baby, I've had such trouble losing the weight. I'm only 28 but gosh has my metabolism slowed to a crawl. I'm so happy to have found Insanity because it's been the kick in the butt my metabolism needed. There's no way I would work this hard on my own at the gym. I thought I was working out before but let's face it, my 4 miles of jogging and hour of weights everyday was just playtime in comparison. I just finished my 1st 60 day cycle and I'm heading into round 2. So far I've only lost 6lbs since I was fairly in shape when I started. I just can't believe how much easier the Month 1 DVD's seem now. I remember wanting to die in those warm-ups the 1st week but now I can focus on form. I joined this group bc there are still days I want to plank punch the TV screen & quit.

Hello, My name is Laura and I am starting Insanity on Monday June 3'rd. Really excited about it! Would love to communicate with anyone who is either doing the challenge or planning to do it!!

Hey I'm Shannon and I am 29 years old with a 3 year old and was having a hard time finding time for herself those past 3 years... Well I'm here now and ready to get my post baby body back!

I have heard wonderful things about INSANITY and am ready to DIG DEEPER! I am currently on day 12 and loving it! I also do a Tabata Boot Camp class once a week with 1 day of Zumba too!

Feel free to add I love to see how everyone is doing and it gives me more motivation!

Hi y'all! My name is Shamah, I just turned 29 on June 3rd , I have 2 kids, work, and go to school. I tried P90X and loved it but I was gaining because I gain muscle very easily so decided to stop and try Insanity since I heard it's more cardio and sounds fun. I will be starting it today. I'm scared but I have to do it. I've been on this plateau for a couple of months now and I'm ssooooo ready to start losing again. It's going to be pretty hard to cut out sweets completely again. I'll let you know if I pass out or throw up after the workout tonight LOL

During these next two months I will also be building up my running endurance from 1.5 miles (now) to 3-4. I plan to run 3-5 days/weeks and also lift weights 2-3 days per week. I am trying to keep my diet as clean as possible and avoid processed foods, especially sugar. Alcohol is my biggest weakness. :-S

I consider myself to be moderately active as I run 3-5 days a week (4-5 miles, trying to increase distance and speed gradually). If I have the time (and space in the gym..grr) I try to lift a couple times a week. Since I started Insanity, I thought it was best to focus on that and give running a 60 day break. I just started Insanity this week, today being day 3. I wanted to shake up my metabolism by switching up my exercise routine (which is also what I try to do when I run, randomizing the speed and incline).

Ok, so with that being said, I am curious if I should continue running while doing this. How did your experience pan out? Would you run before or after Insanity? And, did you just do a steady easy run or did you go hard?

How's your workouts going? DId you second fit test get any easier? I'm on week 2 and loving it/hating it haha.

Hi, I'm Kayla. today is my 3rd day of Insanity....and its kicking my BUTT!!! Excited to continue and see exactly what potential my body, spirit, and will power has in store for me. Im 31 years old and have 2 beautiful boys (10 and 4 years old). Work as a dental assistant. Would love to hear from people that was in the same boat as me and came out the other side. Maybe a little bit of advise on how to push through the incredible sore muscles and fatigue I am currently experiencing.

Hey all! I am Keisha and this will be my 2nd go at Insanity. I started it last summer and while I did not do it everyday like I was supposed to, I had phenomenal results. Unfortunately, I stopped. I lost 15 lbs in a couple of months and gained it all back by the winter.

My Fitness Pal is the most awesome app ever! I have lost 5 lbs just by watching my food and exercising 3 times a week. I am ready to go INSANE again. So I will start again today! I am excited.

Let's do this ya'll! Woo Hoooooo

Hi Everyone! I'm Alyssa and I am 24. I recently graduated college and am in a stand still in my job search (art education), so I have some time to kill, and a body that needs to get in shape! Over the course of my last 3 years of college, my body went haywire and put on at least 20 lbs, and quickly (I have the stretch marks on my thighs thanks to thank ). This is partly due to hormonal imbalances (and one of these days I REALLY need to go to the doctor to be sure I don't have PCOS, because I have multiple aligning symptoms), but I can't do much to fix any imbalances too easily so at the most I can care for my body the best that I can and hope for the best.

So in comes Insanity - which is what I started a week or so ago. I am now into week two and have seen 2 inches lost on my hips and my waist, and 2.5 lb weightloss. I am absolutely thrilled by this! I am about to finally break out of the 150's and finally be into the 140's. My goal weight for the end of insanity is 123, though I would be completely satisfied with at least 130. But my ultimate weightloss goal is 115-120. I am 5'2", so that is completely doable for my body type, as back in my swim team days when I was in my best shape, I was a healthy 112. But I understand my body's changed quite a bit and if I can live the rest of my life fluctuating around 120, I'd be content!

So far insanity is intense. I have to take breaks quite often but I find myself getting further and further each workout, and the stretches that I could barely balance in the first day, I have no problem with now. My only problem with some of the workouts is the amount of stress put on the wrists. My wrists bend back no further than the average "namaste" hand pose you may see in pictures (so not a right angle), so anything with pushups tends to require me to switch between shotty accommodations, because I still haven't quite figured out the best way to go about it all.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to browsing around posts here and seeing how other people are doing on Insanity! I will mention that I'm not following the nutrition plan, but am staying devoted to keeping an eye on my calories and other intakes, and staying hydrated. I used to have the worst diet, eating out a lot - but eating at home makes it so easy to make sure you're not eating too much! Though, Insanity sure allows you to eat quite a bit, I've just now worked it out so that I'm not up at 11PM trying to add in my final 200 calories for the day

Oh, and some days I ride my roadbike on the bike trail as well and then stop by the gym to do some strength training.

So that's me & what I'm up to!

Hi Y'all! I started Insanity almost 3 weeks ago with my boyfriend and I can't believe how much stronger and how much energy I have. I weighed myself on day 1 and was at 148 lbs. I am 5"5. I am not weighing myself anymore as I am going on how I feel and how my clothes fit. I find that we put too much importance on the number on the scale instead of how we look and feel. I can say that in almost 3 weeks my tight skinny jeans have become looser skinny jeans and I am excited to hopefully be able to buy a few new pairs in a smaller size by the time this is over! Good Luck!
