    I forgot to post in here this morning. I was tempted to go back to bed after...
    today was tough. allergies. :s pushed through, but I felt like I had a heavy, wet, hot, itchy blanket wrapped around my head. I know I'm in the minority here, but...I'm ready for the snow to come back. I'm not allergic to that. :(

    So impressive - day 1 starts for me today - I guess that means Fit Test time - wish me luck, will log tomorrow!

    no excuses for me. felt like hell this morning due to allergies. pushed through anyway. turns out...you DO need oxygen to survive. go figure. :p

    Welcome Lori! What week are you on now? how are you finding the workouts?

    I am only on Round 1 Day 4 but already, from Day 1, I find I can do more and am surprised that the soreness is working itself out already too. I huff and puff and have to take breaks (and sweat on my) but I like it.

    Hi guys. I am Tino from the UK (24). Like most of you here, I've struggled with my weight in the last 4-5 years. I used to be a size 6-8 but since 2011, I've been between the 180s and 200's. It's depressing as I look way older than I actually am and it frustrates me when people say things like, wow, you've changed. It's your weight!!! Anyway, I'm thinking of starting Insanity today, I did the fit test 3 weeks ago and then just stopped but this time I am very determined to go through and finish it. My current weight is 217 so hoping to drop about 20lbs and change my shape in the course of the 8 weeks. Feel free to add me for support.

    Hello all, my name is Amanda & I live in Indiana! I'm a 40 yr old stay-at-home mother of two boys & one girl (18, 17, 13).

    I'm currently in week 5 of Insanity & I love it! This is recovery week for me & I'm super excited/nervous to see what next week has to offer. I've lost 5 lbs & a total of 8" since I've started. Feel free to add me if you need motivational support, I'll be your biggest cheerleader!

    Woo, hoo! Awesome job! So, how do you feel? Also, the most important question is what are you going to do next? Inquiring minds want to know! :)

    sorry it took me a bit to reply...D'OH! tomorrow starts my P90X/X+ hybrid...the "90" is a bit of a lie. it's only 84 days. after that, I'm just gonna pick up heavy things and put them down for the fall/winter.

    @gam3rguy That sounds like a plan! P90X looks hard. Tony Horton is hilarious, he makes it seem like it would be fun to try! I have the Deluxe set for the Insanity workouts so I think I'll try them out & see how it goes. I believe there are three extra discs, one of them being Max Interval Sports Training & Insane Abs. That sounds even crazier than the rest of them.

    max interval sports training is no joke. "doable", but HARD! "insane abs"...don't try it barefoot. you'll see. ;)

    @gam3rguy Lol, I never workout without shoes on. I was just looking over the set & I also have Insanity Upper Body Weight Training. Have you tried that one?

    i do, sometimes...for abs , stretch or one of the P90X yogas. i did insane abs barefoot the first time. there are these side to side toe hops while in plank. NOT recommended barefoot. wore shoes everytime after.

    I did that one once..."meh", it's okay. the strength workout in Asylum is WAY better.
