    I love to hear Insanity success stories. You look fantastic and your fitness test results have definitely increased! Do you plan to do another round of Insanity or are you going to try something else now?

    I just started Insanity. Tomorrow with be my 6th day and I am really enjoying the program even though I am super sore after. It makes me feel good to workout and do such a tough workout! It is better than anything I ever did at the gym.

    great job. How did you do with the meal plans? Was it hard to follow?

    I didn't follow the meal plans. I was already 2 months into calorie counting and had a good meal plan in effect. I just had to up the calories on the 6 days I worked out. The highest burn I had was over 800 calories. My average was probabaly 690-730...somewhere in that range. So I had to come up with healthy snacks to fill in the gaps. I upped my breakfast and lunch calories. My though process was that getting higher calories in during the day would come off at work and working out. My normal breakfast is about 600 calories, and my lunch is 500. Snacks in between. I just kept tweaking it till it worked. Now I'm going to have to adjust!! So used to eating close to 2500 calories/day. If I don't exercise, I only get 1730. Just have to replan my days out. No worries. It's all a learning curve, and a long journey. I've lost 82 pounds in almost 6 months. That's quick! I didn't do any fad diets (no offense to anyone doing one). I just changed my eating habits and started using portion control (I drive my wife nuts...I weigh EVERYTHING!!!!) And of course I started exercising.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm crazy happy with my results, just the 6 days/week for 9 weeks straight takes a toll. My body is pretty worn down. My legs are toned but spent. I need a few days to relax and recover, and then I'm right back into it. I think maybe a every other day workout plan. But who knows. I'll probably pick back up doing Zumba here and there (I actually kinda like it). I will most likely do an Insanity workout on Wednesdays (it's the easiest day for me to workout). I intend on biking to/from work more often (it's a 12 mile roundtrip...with ALOT of hills!!! It was my first actual bike ride after a 8 year layoff). And my wife usually works out most nights with one of our neighbors. They rotate through Tae Bo, Zumba, Biggest Loser Cardio, JM 30- Day Shred, etc.... so I won;t get too bored...lol

    Thank you everyone for your positive feedback. MFP is an awesome community. It's very helpful to get support from strangers. Thank you all!!!!!

    Those are some fantastic results. maybe in a few months I can tackle a heavy duty work out like that. Looking at the pictures you posted, I couldn't imagine you were ever over 300 pounds....I had to go look at your profile pictures. I don't think the one of you crouching is probably at your top weight, but the change from then to now is so impressive. There's really a clear difference in your face, too! I bet you're at goal and jumping out of those airplanes before you know it!

    I am glad to hear that you liked it. I just ordered my Insanity package and am excited to get started. It looks crazy intense though, but that's what I need.
