I just started Insanity for the third time yesterday, I REALLY want to make it through all the way this time. Normally I'll make it a week or two in and then lose motivation. This time I'm hoping is different, I just bought new shoes which I hope help my comfort level and I really want to make it all the way through this time.

To make a short story long I'm looking for friends of any age/gender/etc. I just want people who participate and are positive with feedback :)

    Hey there! Insanity is so much fun once you get into it! It took me about 3 weeks to really start loving it! Make sure you have cross trainers they really help with stability. You can do it! Set small goals and nail them! Good luck! Oh and make sure to take before and during pictures. Measure weekly. I didn't lose a whole lot of weight with Insanity but I gained a lot of muscle. I am so much stronger now. My husband lost about 21lbs during the program. It's amazing comparing the first and final fit test :-)

    If you do a search through MFP's groups, you'll find a bunch of Insanity and Beachbody groups. I think you may find they are doing challenges or whatnot through them :)

    I started Insanity on Monday with the Fit Test. Today was Day 3 - Cardio Power & Resistance. I don't think I have ever sweated this much in my entire life.

    I started it last Monday, did it until Thursday, when my shoulders decided to revolt against me (I did a squat-pushup wrong)....I'm back at it tonight.

    I am in the 3rd week of the 2nd month, its brutal but i love it and if you are going to succeed you need to be of the mind set that you are going to do it no matter what it takes to complete.

    Once i've finished i am taking a week off to relax a little, confuse my body with a few pizza's then i am going full on again!

    I will be starting on Monday also. I will have my husband as my motivation and my Drill Instructor. I am sure he will not have a hard time motivating me as I am one of those people who has a hard time staying motivated. I start but find every excuse in the book not to keep going. Good luck to you and feel free to add me as well.

    Just remember you aren't the machine on the DVD - and even they need a break. Do as much as you can safely and with good form, and dont' get discouraged by being sore or needing to take breaks. Even Shaun T does!

    Keep pushing play and digging deeper. If this 43 year old who started at 160 could get her shirt, so can you!

    I started on the 1st and I am in love. I hate it during, cursing, breathing heavy, & sweating my butt off. I know the payoff will be great. Set your own personal goals for the program. Literally write them down and use every workout as a way to achieve those goals! Feel free to add me for support!

    I'm just about done with week 2! I love it! I've got a huge married-woman-mother-of-4-know-he's-gay-but-don't-care-crush on Shaun T and a love/hate relationship with Tanya. I fear Cardio Recovery like a trip to the dentist and have horrendous gas all the time but I love feeling my body get stronger every day!
