    Hiya, new to MFP, I completed Insanity once already, I got down from 258 to 250, but gained so much muscle I didn't have before. I could not do a push up before I started.

    I'm in the process of doing it again, I'm on week two on month one.

    OMG can we all take a moment to just talk about the craziness that is side-plank-push-ups! (in month 2)

    How do people log their Insanity workout on MFP I search for it but no luck, I've tried customise

    Hi all, Just wanted to check out this group to see if there were any members who started recently. :drinker: I started May first and it would be nice to add some other members who are also doing the program. I mainly use the app, so visiting the forum on a regular basis is unlikely. So feel free to shoot me a friend request :blushing:

    Hey! I started INSANITY back in 2012. But I quit week three. Don't ask my why because I got great results. And I've restarted several times. But never stuck to it. I'm on week three now and still going strong. Shoot me a friend request. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hi, I am through week one of Insanity. I am unfit and overweight so although I try all the excersices I don't quiet look like the people on the dvd (yet). Muscel aches this week - just my legs they are so tired but in a good way. Really want to stay with it to help me reach my goal. Look forward to the support - because I will need it.

    Hi All, starting Insanity on Monday the 26th of May. Created a group if anyone wants to join...

    "Insanity (starting 26 May, 2014)"

    Any tips for someone about to start? Food's been stocked to help with the program. Did p90x a few years ago:smile:

    Ready to get started. I know I'll regret this, but, why is it not Monday yet??

    Hello. I did Insanity faithfully for the entire first month and then stopped because I got real sick and couldn't continue. I could tell a difference immediately and loved it. I'm wanting to start back up again but waiting for the release from the doctor. I had a slipped disc in my neck and pinched nerves in my shoulders and neck area. So, here I am 6 weeks later and still waiting for the doctor. He wants me for 4 more weeks b/c my neck is still out of wack but I'm going to try to start off slow and work into the full on program again. I also bought Shaun T.'s Hip Hop Abs which isn't as intense. I'm thinking I'm going to start there until I can go full force into Insanity again. I'm looking forward to doing it again. I enjoy the challenge of trying to make it through each minute when I think I am going to literally die. :)

    I'm starting my second round of Insanity. The first time I did it (2012) I lost almost 26 lbs! I started at 146.6 lbs and went down to 121 lbs. I haven't been that weight since high school. It is def a gruelling workout routine, but I'm so glad I stuck to it and had great results. When I did it, I stuck to 1200 calories a day, and I think that gave me that little bit of edge. Once you get used to the amount of food you eat, it's hard to overeat, which I feel is a win/win.

    Since 2012, I've gained 10 lbs back, due to laziness. So I've decided to do Insanity again. I'm already on Day 5 of the program and my body aches all over, but I know the results will be amazing, so I'm going to stick to it. Wish me luck!! =3

    July 9, 2014. INSANITY STARTS TODAY!!!!!

    Anyone else starting this week, please let me know. Maybe our success can be paralleled. I will post Fit Test Results in my Journal.

    I am starting on a Wednesday, because I have failed at it twice, and on those times I started on Monday. But not this time! because if I did start on a Monday and expected different results, it would be....well...you know.

    I want that T-Shirt!!!

    I could use some friends that are doing this, I don't care where you are from (I usually do). Befriend me!

    I'm restarting Insanity this week. I have completed it up to month 1 about 2 yrs ago, but due to my work schedule, I couldn't keep up with it. I'm through with excuses so I'm gonna make it through the whole 2 months this time!!!! I didn't lose much in the first month I did it, but I went from doing 1 minute planks to 3 minute planks (in just 30 days!). I may not have lost weight, but I gained strength. I think I need to change my diet to get the weight loss results I expected.

    Pray for me! I'll be hurting for the next 2 weeks--at least!

    I'm in Week 2 of Insanity (Day 12) and it's my first time doing the program. I love it already and how much it kicks my butt! I've noticed some small changes in my body already and I just feel better too. I'm not following the meal plan but trying to stick to the recommended amount of calories based on the equation in it and trying for 5 smaller meals during the day. I also invested in a Polar FT4 HRM so I can see how many calories I burn, which is really helpful!

    I'm 24 years old, and I just finished up my MEd, looking for a teaching job. I'm in decent shape, but I missed a lot of workouts when things got crazy this past year of grad school, so I want to slim back down from that and then tone up all over. Looking forward to participating in this insane little journey with all of you!

    Hi, Im Julie. My husband and I started Insanity this morning. Man I thought I was in better shape than he was but he blew me out of the water! I was about ready to say I made it through it and then found out it was just the warm up! I really suck at cardio and this is really going to push me to do better, because I have my husband beside me and I cant let him out do me again:O)

    Any suggestions on how to keep motivated would be greatly appreciated.

    I got very light headed doing the things where I was down and then had to get back up and then back down. but figure as soon as I learn how to breath properly that should get better.

    Stick with it and listen to Shaun T!!!!! Take a break when u need too rememeber the guys on the video are machines. You really need to find your own pace. I did it and found it very good but it doesnt get any easier you just get better !!!

    Good Luck!!!!!!

I gained 15 since then (up to 200 lbs.). My goals have changed this time. Feel free to add me as a friend for inspiration and motivation.

    Current weight: 194

    Hello! I have had the Insanity program for a couple of years now and have completed it once and done half cycles several times with great success. I started on Monday and am committed to seeing the entire program through again. Although it is really tough at times, the program WORKS! I am a high school basketball referee, so my goal is to complete the 60 days and then begin a running program in October/November to get myself ready for the season.

    Current weight: 203
    Goal weight:185 (mid November)

    Good luck everyone!
