    Hello!

    My names Amaris and I'm currently just waiting for my insanity to arrive in the mail. When it does ill be starting right up! I didn't do the shake part, but I am going to try to follow the nutrition guide for different recipes.


    When I joined MFP I weighed 354.9lbs which is the heaviest Ive ever been.

    I currently way 264lbs so I've lost a total of 90 lbs so far.

    My Goal Weight will be around 130-50 at the most after putting on muscle and toning.

    I look forward to insanity but I need the challenge, believe it or not I've gotten into shape with my normal routines, So i need something to challenge me and really kick me in gear! (:

    Day of Insanity: 9

    I am doing the 60 day challenge with Insanity and managing it so far. But I do find the workouts really tough. What does everyone else think? I am doing it with my husband and he finds it pretty tough too!

    Btw Amaris - amazing weight loss. You must be so proud of yourself.:smile:

    Great group for MFP, thank you for offering it. I started my second round of Insanity after gaining 20lbs from a weightlifting injury. I'm 5 days into it now, and have lost 3 lbs already. If anyone needs advice or opinions how to proceed and succeed, let me know. I'm not a professional at it, but might have some helpful hints for you.

    Good luck to all, and KEEP PRESSING PLAY!!

    Goal with Insanity: Get through every workout
    Starting Weight: 178
    Goal Weight: 150
    Day of Insanity you're on: 1 - start tonight

    Tried it once before and relaized after three days that I wasn't going to get through it. I tried to keep up with Shaun and hurt myself. This time, I'm a bit more informed and hoping I don't let my competitiveness push me too hard.

    And whatever the results are after I'm done, I'll be good with it.

    Insanity is all about pacing. You MUST pace yourself and complete the circuits at your own comfort zone. Take breaks, rest in between, but make sure you SWEAT! Remember, sweat is fat tears melting off you. DON'T hurt yourself by going all out, especially if you've had bad knees in the past. GOOD LUCK ALL!!!

    Welcome everybody!
    I'm delighted we have so many people already to really motivate and support each other. Insanity is so tough, but the rewards will definitely be worth it! We just need to stick together and encourage each other :)

    Day of Insanity you're on: 9

    Hi Everyone,
    My husband and I started insanity last week and we are loving it.
    We decided to weigh and measure ourselves every time we do a fit test. I cant wait to weigh myself on day 14, my pants feel lose so I'm hoping I've lost a bit.
    I had a baby almost 5 months ago, Ive also had 4 babies in the last four years so I have a bit of stubborn weight to get rid of!
    My heartrate has never been under 80bpm at rest and was usually 90-100bpm at rest when I was pregnant. I checked it tonight and it was 72bpm. I was shocked, goes to show insanity is already working on my cardiovascular fitness :D

    Day of Insanity you're on: 0 (Just started)




    My Name is Vanessa and I just got the Insanity program!!! I am really excited, just need motivation and help with accountability. I want to do this not only so I can prove to myself that I can do whatever I put my mind to but to be free of insecurities that would normally hold me back from walking with confidence through a crowd of people....=]

    Feel free to add me or message me with any tips.
    I would especially appreciate any tips on the nutrition side of it because I come from Puerto Rican/Mexican Family that believes that your plate should consist of 50% meat and 50% rice and beans. OOHHH and that coca cola is the nectar of the gods...which is sadly my biggest obstacle...I LOVVVVEEE COKE. So now I am trying to slowly cut down more and more but its way easier said than done...so any tips on how to replace that addiction would be very helpful.

    Welcome Vanessa! You've got the right attitude for Insanity, just go at your own pace. As far as your love of Cola goes, I suggest keeping a bottle of water with you at ALL TIMES, and drink it often. This will slowly, if not rapidly wean you off your urge of Cola. Good luck to you and remember, KEEP PUSHING PLAY!!!
