    I say have them jump right in - just remember to pace the fittest or they may never come back.

    Just finished cardio power of week 3 day 5! I'd say my power jumps are getting better Yayyy!!
    Doing insanity burns so much calories that I find it hard to sometimes net my bmr let alone eating all of my exercise calories.

    @sren4th I think you should see what's the fitness level of your friend, if she's already fit then why not. But if she isn't too fit she might be too overwhelmed by the the workouts in month 2 which comes after the recovery week. I've watched the mth2 workouts, they look INSANE. Maybe have her try a few of the month 1 workouts to see how well can she cope.

    Hi guys!!! I had a nice weekend, yesterday's day off was exactly what I needed. I have been forcing mysellf to eat more because burning so many calories and not upping my intake has really taken a toll on my body, I have felt like a zombie with migraines for about 5 days now. But today I'm ready to get back into it!! Week 3 here I come!! Fit test today, we will see how far I've come! Wish me luck!

    I did this with Hubby and dropped a bunch of weight but didn't tone up at all, so Im going to start over and hope this time I can tone. Its a hard work out but so worth it in the end

    Which protein shake??? I just got the shakeology in the mail yesterday but have yet to try it... I might try it later tonight. I suck at eating often only because I'm never really too hungry all the time :(

    I've been eating protein bars and have noticed a huge improvement...feel better, less sleepy. But, on the cardio recovery days I miss the energy that comes from getting my BPM up.

    I will be starting this Sat. Shaun T is coming to town and I will be working out with him and prob a few hundred people. I'm hoping that this will give me the motivation to continue with Insanity.

    Hey bmwauug, what kind of bars are you eating? Looking forsomething besides the shakes just to switch it up a little.

    Hey Everyone! I'm new to the group and last night I completed Day 58 of Insanity! I'm so close to the end and I need encouragement to finish! I must say that knowing there's only 5 days left is already motivating but I also wanted to find a place where people are supporting each other with this. I've seen great improvements in my body, strength and stamina during this process. No weight loss but I've lost some inches and definitely toned my body.

    Happy Thursday everyone and I'm excited about being part of this group!

    Congrats on reaching your goal weight LDeFran!! Personally I was a bit frustrated with the fact that the scale is not showing my results the way the mirror is. I used to weigh myself once a week but since the second week into Insanity I decided that the scale didn't matter. I know I look better and feel better and I KNOW that the same area of muscle weighs more than the same area of fat!

    Dig Deeper everyone!!
