Anyone else? :flowerforyou:

I'm not new to working out - I've been doing boot camp and long distance running for a few years now, but I've regained about 10-15 lbs that need to go! This will be my first time doing Insanity, and I'm super excited! :bigsmile:

    Just restarted Insanity this morning. My last attempt only lasted 2 weeks when got struck with the flu.
    Running a marathon in early May so I am hoping to completely get though 1 full month of Insanity, before I have to ramp running miles.
  • I'm starting today also and I can't wait! I'm a bit nervous about the muscle soreness. I know they say once you start exercising again with the muscle soreness it tends to get better, it's still hard to push yourself when you hurt, but I'm going to do my best :)

    OF COURSE ... frickin got sick! UGH! I've been debating w/myself all day whether or not to attempt to do Day 1 today, but seeing that I can't really breathe, I don't think it's going to happen today. Damn allergies!!! I hope you all had a great workout today, and I'll start ASAP!...I promise!

    I did day 1 today, I actually never thought I would ever work out so hard I almost threw up, but I did that today. It was awesome and I can actually feel my metabolism boosted today. I'm eating according to the nutrition plan, between 1650 and 1700 Calories which is so much better than starving myself.

    Anyone else noticing they're more hungry since starting? I went up from 1750 to 1900 before starting the program and I still find myself hungry! I think I'm gonna see how my measurements/weight loss is doing at my next check in and then adjust accordingly.

    Hey all!

    I just found this thread but I started Insanity on December 30th as well! Definitely could use some support/new friends doing the same program :)

    The muscle soreness was so intense for me after the first two days but by Day 3 it's starting to go away!

    i didnt follow meal guide but cleaned up a bit i did have pizza a few times and had chips with turkey sandwiches but i am glad with the results lost 12 lbs and 2-3 in all around i do have stomach so i got to work on that im looking to see what i will do for that and def gotta commit to better eating i also hypothyroid and did the program without using my meds and it was possible for me to lose weight great accomplishment my doctor let me stay off them n my body didnt argue that choice thats a victory alone i also am on depo shots so i had a few odds against me but i did it !

    lol

    Hi guys, I'm just about to start Insanity round 3 :) I guess that from that you've guessed I love it!

    For people looking for huge losses the first few weeks, please don't be discouraged if your weight doesn't change or only drops a little - especially if you don't have much left to lose. Your muscles hold on to a lot of water when they need to repair themselves (which is essentially what they'll be doing throughout) so this extra water makes the scales read higher than you might be expecting. Also you're constantly adding muscle, which weighs more than fat. The first time I did insanity I completed the whole of month 1 and only lost 2lb I think. My measurements went down though and I could see a positive change when I compared photos. So *do* take a 'before' photo (or 3) and record your measurements at the start.

    Good luck everyone!

    I finished my first week of Insanity. The scale didn't move, but I feel great! I feel stronger and cardio is better. YAY ME! :happy:

    Day 9 = Completed! I woke up sore and tired today, and almost didn't get up to do my workout, but I'm sure glad I did! My arms and shoulders are sore today, but that's a good sign, eh? I sure hope the scale moves down this week...we shall see.

    How's everyone doing?
  • I'm on Day 4 of my 2nd round of Insanity. This time I plan to do 60 days of Insanity and follow it up with 30 days of Asylum **oh my :ohwell: **.

    Wish me luck!!!
