    I did it last year (borrowed my cousin's DVDs), and just finally got a set of my own! I'm starting it all over again on Monday!! I sure do love me some Shaun T :love: I'll dig deep for him any day!! lol

    I would love to be Insanity accountability friends on here!!! I'm wk3 day 2. I had to take a week off because my body wasn't able to do the dvd to my full potential. The more I tried to push myself the more my body wasn't moving(like a puppy on a leash, lol) My frd suggested I take a week off and I feel good now. I'm having trouble eating my calories though. Are any of you having that problem too?

    Im eating all day long and always seem to be about 700 to 800 calories off my total.

    SMH, I don't know what to do. I don't want to go into starvation mode and have my hard work be for nothing :grumble: My problem is I'm not always hungry and after the workout. I force myself to drink my Jay Robb's protein shake in fear that I'll lose muscle. Esp because I have enough fat to lose. :laugh:

    You can add me! I dont do it everyday since I go out to run, but when I dont go out, I work out to insanity.

    Thats what I have been worrying about. Kinda stinks. If you eat too much you gain, and if you dont eat enough you dont lose! :mad:

    But with everyone's comments, I am actually motivated to do it everyday so I can see some results :)

    MMarin, if I find the answer, I will defin share it with you. My frd keeps telling me to add my protein to get the calories but it's difficult when you're not hungry.

    Stick with it your results will be AMAZING! I haven't been able to lose my baby weight and I not only did, but also upped all my weights. I also could never do even one pushup (serious joke in the family), but now I can hang in for 16-20. REAL PUSHUPS not the girl kind. WHOOT WHOOT! My husband and I did Insanity for 30 days strict, but then life happened. We still do it every other day, but then do strength training the other days. I wish I was able to stick with the strict schedule I think the results would be awesome.

    That looked a little nutty, and also looked like you would need alot more space. Is that so?

    Yeah I am doing Insanity too! I am on month 2 week 2, and its officially an obsession! To those who are on the first or even the 2nd week, those were the hardest for me, so stick with it and the terrible soreness you may and probably are feeling will go away promise!

    It takes work, but cooking and taking your lunch to work (and snacks) really helps and I've been able to net at least 1200 (and according to my HRM I'm burning over 600 most days with Insanity). I try to plan ahead too... sometimes putting a full day into mfp in the morning to see how many more calories I need and then add them throughout the day in mfp and then just eat that... it doesn't feel like I'm forcing myself to eat that way....

    edit: today wasn't my best dinner :) Also I have my calories set up to show my 'sedentary' maintenance number and aim for approx. 500 calorie deficit on workout days and aim for my BMR on rest days.

    Join the group!

    I'm on day 6 here (rest day), loving it (Insanity as a program not just the rest, ha ha!) I posted a link to a spreadsheet you can customize in the group if you change around your week like I did. Now there is no more excuses to wait until Monday to start!

    I saw rhe informarcial and it looks to scary, I am giving you a shout out (Teaneck N.J.)

    If you are thinking about buying please be sure to check out Craigs List in your area, do NOT pay the $130ish price tag! I paid $30 for Insanity, $25 for ChaLean Extreme, $15 for Turbo Jam and $40 for Turbo Fire (actually I bought 3 sets and sold 2 on ebay for $112 EACH!) over the past few years.

    We were doing this stuff as squadron PT for a few weeks. Lots of people were getting hurt doing it and it miraculously went away. Glad it did.

    I'm on day 3 of week 3. I also do an hour of zumba every day, but today I overdid it, my knee is aching. I love it, though, I can definitely see a difference.

    How do you enter Insanity into your exercise log? Like, what do you categorize it as? And how much time do you enter?
    I am trying to get as accurate an entry as I can, and there is some "down time" and "stretching" during the videos so I do not know how to adjust the time for that.
