Hi Everyone!

I posted in another thread that I was about to start the insanity 60 day challenge, and a few people reached out to me so I've decided to start a thread to maybe get a few people started on losing weight over the holidays instead of gaining! (Unless of course your using it to gain muscle weight)

So far I have lost 24/25 lbs in total, and my exercising has been patchy. I was loving running, but went away travelling and have since struggled with my running :S. So I decided enough was enough, I have to lose that last 26 lbs! I've seen some amazing Insanity results and can't wait for my own- but I know I need a little help on doing it everyday for 60 days! So I'm turning to the fitness pal community...

I have just completed the first Fit Test and it kicked my butt!

Anyone who wants to join in- please post below!

    Hi..., up for this thread. Just completed week 1!

    Man, even my eyelids sweat......:laugh:

    I want to loose about 20lbs and so I am using Insanity for a boost. I've lost about 25llb already through juicing and intermittent exercise. I want a strong fit body... Looking at others results is really inspiring.

    Very excited....

    Yay! 1 week! Good luck. I'm already tired thinking about tomorrow.

    I've taken my before pictures and I am now counting down the days till the one month pictures. I couldn't find a tape measure though- so I better get on the hunt.

    Insanity is such a great workout! My hubby and I have done it and are now doing Focus T25 also created by Shaun T :)

    I'm starting it again for the second time tomorrow...well the fit test is tomorrow. I completed it once before in the summer and since then I have been totally lost so decided to suck it up and do it again since I felt sane the first time....yes that's right...I felt sane doing insanity....lol

    Anyways i'm hoping that it will get my mind back on track and as much as I would like to lose another 20 lbs I just don't think my body is built for that and I just want to be stronger.

    Hi guys,

    I have lost 18lbs so far with JM extreme shed and shred and still looking to lose a further 15-20lb.

    Did start Insanity in September and completed 9 days...then went on holiday and fell off the wagon!!! Have not gained any weight back, which is great, but really feeling like I need to get back into working out. Am determined to complete the full sixty days from tomorrow!

    Good luck everyone - we can do it !! :)

    Hello! I'm new here & I'd love to join this challenge as extra motivation. I started insanity in the last week of Sept. I followed it to a T for the first month but then I get the flu. Then kids got sick, then I got sick again lol .... You get the idea! But I'd love to restart it and complete the full program!

    Definitely start again jujubar!

    I did day 2, I don't think I've ever ached this much from a workout- and I've done tonnes. I know it wont get easier but I cant wait till my body is more used to it! I wanted to avoid protein shakes etc as I don't believe in powders and stuff- but my friends swear by it after a work out so I'm going to give it a shot.

    I'm finding the nutrition plan harder to stick to- I'm just not used to eating so much food after all this dieting! But the body needs it...

    Good luck everyone! Even crossing out day 2 on my calendar felt amazing.

    Count me in!! I wrap up week 1 tomorrow. This is my 1st time doing it for 60 days, I've done some of the workouts in the past as a hybrid with p90x.

    Great! I'm excited & super motivated to restart tomorrow :-)
    I used to have abs & run marathons, even after my first child but I let life get in the way. No excuses anymore, Let's do this :-D

    The crossing off the days was the best part for me. I did the full program and am now about to start Body Beast. The workouts do get easier, but then you start the second set of DVDs and you are back to feeling weak again, but in a good insane way!! Really stick to the food intake, as it really makes a difference. I do Protein shakes Mon-Fri as I dont eat meat. Be careful about what you put in them though. You can add up the calories pretty fast if you are not careful. Good luck!

    Just completed day 4, cardio recovery.... Are you supposed to sweat so much from stretching or is it just me?

    Now tucking into steak, salad, natural yoghurt and berries. Mmmmmm....

    How is everyone else doing!?

    I just started an insanity group for those who are just starting it. I am starting insanity Monday December 9, 2013 so I'd love for anyone else starting then to join too :) The groups name is: Insanity Start date 12-9-13. Just search it and you should be able to add yourself because it's a public group which on the start date I'll switch to private so we can share what we want without it being public to everyone

    Got my workout in, just barely but I did it. I love insanity, or I should say I love it as soon as I finish haha! And I also sweat like crazy during the stretches not just in cardio recovery don't feel bad :smile: . By the time each workout actually begins (after the warm-up) I'm already soaked!

    I've finished day 5! It was very hard today- I'm day 5 of Insanity but also day 4 of quit smoking and I'm getting some serious nicotine withdrawals. But I love that by the time Insanity is over not only will I have changed my body on the outside, I'm changing it hugely on the inside.

    Will definitely join that group, I'll hunt it down!

    Hello All,
    Has anyone made it successfully!
    I just did my first fitness test and I am both exhilirated and depressed lol. I didn't pass out or vomit but I had to take a lot of breaks. I even lost count on two of the excericises while trying to focus on not stopping for tooo very long, though on more than one I had to sit down before the minute was over. I hope to replace the two ? marks on my spreadsheet during the next one. THIS WASN'T EVEN THE WORKOUTS YET!
    Anything advice!
