Lovin Insanity - it makes me feel great but I have been doing it for about 2 1/2 weeks and watching my calorie intake and have GAINED weight. Midsection is still as big as ever!! What gives.......????0

I've just done day 2 of Insanity (the first workout, did the fit test yesterday), and I am SO impressed with it! It's such a well thought out workout. Exactly the right amount of recovery time between the evil circuits. I've just done all my measurements and I'm really hoping it will helpon break me through the 140lb barrier.
I know I'm going to be taking 4 days off in the middle of month 1 (camping holiday), but I didn't have a clear 65 days between now and October, so I figured I'd better just get on with it!0 -
Done with week 1 of insanity (first round) the first 3 days were amazing...totally made me realize how out of shape i am. I couldn't walk for the first 2 days but i kept pushing through and the pain went away on its own after day 3, recovery helped so much!
I'm definitely enjoying this, and plan on doing more than one round.
So pumped!!!!0 -
Hey there! I just started day 1 again of Insanity. I tried it before and got through the first month then ended up stopping. I'm hoping I can find some more motivation on this site!!0
-
Totally love it! My body has changed (look at my prof pic). Lost about 10lbs, I was not that OVER weight but still... I started it again, let's see how it goes0

Hello everyone! I never knew there was an Insanity group until someone posted about it. I'm glad there is a group! I started Insanity 2 weeks ago and just finished my second fit test last night. It's so motivating to see an improvement. I hope to find more motivation on this site as well.0

Hi all, I just finished Insanity this weekend. Really enjoyed it and it worked well for me. I lost 24 pounds and my fit test results at the end were astounding when compared to the start.
Anyway, wish I had discovered this site before but I'm going to start Insanity again this week as my goal is to lose another 30 pounds. I'll start using MFP now to log food and exercise and see if I can do even better this time around.
Please add me as a friend if you're looking for Insanity motivation!
Keep your core tight, focus and go0 -
@ chinta96 Agreed! I'm glad I found these boards as well... A little extra motivation and accountability never hurts!!! That's awesome that you saw improvements on your second fit test! I'm on Day 59 and can't believe how fast the time has gone by!!! You'll be amazed at how much your fit test numbers increase by the time you're on your last one!!!0

I'm on Day 3 of Insanity and so far, I can say I love it!! I'm a 5'5 female and my goal is to lose close to 30 lbs. If I get even half of my weight loss goal with this workout, i'll be more than happy. It's defintiely tough but every day I actually feel motivated to try the next workout (which I never felt when I had to go to the gym). I'm pretty sore but its a good sore, it helps if you work out with someone. My friend, my boyfriend and I are all doing it together so we can each keep each other motivated!
I hope to hear everyone's progress and results0 -
@Stking that's awesome! Congrats starting Insanity! I feel the same way.... motivated and excited for the next day's workout! Believe it or not, it's an addictive program!!! Keep up the good work, it's great that you've got a support group to keep you accountable!0

Hello, fellow insane friends!
I am starting Insanity today and I am pretty scared/nervous.
I watched the fit test through the other day and I predict that I am going to spend
most of that time dying on the floor!0 -

Hi there,
I'm starting day one on Monday, June 11. I did the fit test today and did ok. I've got about 12-15 pounds to lose (and have been trying to lose the same 10 pounds for the last year). I'm really pretty active, but I obviously need to change up my routine. Hoping Insanity is the answer.
Best of luck to everyone.0 -
Hello,
I am now on week 3 of insanity and have lost 6 lbs so far. I think it is a little repetitive but I keep pressing play because it gives me energy and I see results fast. I am following the meal plan as well which helps. It keeps me motivated. I do have to modify some of the exercises to keep it low impact but as long as I am eating right and moving, the results will come maybe not as quick as if I did all the high impact exercises. I am much stronger than 3 weeks ago and the stretching routines really help.0 -
Hey peeps,
Just join yesterday.....53 y/o mom of 4.....Goal is lose at least 8-10 lbs and/or, 6-9 inches by the end of July I just started insanitity one week ago, and 2days. This is an insane workout. I think this workout is better then all workouts I have experience. I never sweat as much on this workout as the others. I workouut in the basement, where it is extrememly cold there, its not cold enough, it feel like the outside 90degrees. I live in Chicago, and the summer starts kinda of early and it is close to 100 degrees. Oh well just ate breakfast (yogurt with oat bran) before I start day 2 week 2 of insantity. :grumble:0 -
just started Insanity yesterday and WOW! hope to keep it up0

Hi! Started Insanity last Tuesday (19th) and I'm following the diet plan which I really like. Im hypoglycemic so this diet helps to keep my sugar at regular levels.
The first day after the fit test I felt like I was going to faint. I used to dance when I was a teenager so it was a shock to see how out of shape I am now. Second and third day were difficult and I would have to stop for a few seconds but always tried to get back to it.
I do the workouts with my boyfriend and it is definitely better to do the program with someone than doing it alone.
I will post progress updates!0 -
I've lost over 50 pounds thanks to Beachbody. Started with P90X and I've added Insanity into the mix in the last few months. I hit a snag in my weight loss, so I found this site to help me track my food. Now I'm back to losing weight, slowly but surely. I'm here to keep myself motivated.0
-
I just started Day 1 yesterday, I tried it before a couple months ago and I really enjoyed it but some things in my life came up so I stopped and gained my weight back. But this time I'm back on my veggie diet and I'm going full blast on Insanity, getting fit is my number 1 priority in my life right now!0
-
I just started the third week and I can feel and begin to see a difference in my body. Down 5 pounds and I have more energy than I have in a long time. MFP and the success stories and knowing others are doing the same things helps keep me going. My wife is down 4 lbs in a week of 30DS.0

Hi there! Just purchased Insanity this evening. I have done P90x before, but didn't complete a full cycle. I am determined to make it through the entire 60 days! My goal is to start on Monday, July 2nd as long as it arrives in time!! I am excited!0

I just received my dvd's last night. I am starting on Monday - and am so excited. My husband is doing it with me (so he says). I am really hoping he is on board with me. I've had a hard time focusing on working out and eating healthy since we have been married. I'm already tracking my calories and I have my weekly calorie goal I am going to hit. He works a job where it is hard for him to eat the 5 meals. He doesn't like protein shakes and doesn't eat anything in the mornings, but I am going to try to help him change that as I think he really needs the protein to do this. He will continue to drink his beer I am sure, I don't drink beer, I do wine. Taking my measurements this weekend. Going to take our before pics before the fit test on Monday. I've got the calendar and the nutrition booklet and will be doing the reading, and making a chart for us to use together today. Am so excited!0

Anyone want to follow each other on our walls and/or our blogs feel free to friend request me. I eat - not one of those people that starve myself and I am really going to work hard to keep my calories up, eating cleaner and keeping my macro percentages where they should be. Any help in the food nutrition/meal category would be welcomed. I like the zig zag method as my lifestyle needs that flexiblity. So I have used the method to get my TDEE, did the 500 calorie cut to lose and have times that by 7 to get my weekly calories. So some days my calories will vary but my weekly will be the same. I'm going to try this for two weeks and see if I see any results. I have used the 1.55 activity level since I will being doing Insanity. I also walk/jog everyday on my lunch hour and I will add those calories back in on the days I do both so I am not eating too low.0
-
Were you pleased with your results? (this questions goes for anyone who has done this regularly and wants to answer haha). I am just starting out. Any starter tips?0
-
Due to a few complications -- Insanity arriving late, a tornado, and various power outages, I wasn't able to start last week. I am starting tomorrow! SO READY!!0

Hey guys, just started insanity today. Did the fit test, and though I didn't do great, I feel great tonight (now that I've recovered a little and can breathe) This is definitely INSANE! By the time my buddy and I finished the fit test we were both laying on the floor face down in a puddle of our own sweat! I am looking at before and after pictures of people to help keep me motivated! Add me if you'd like!0

Hey guys I'm on day 2 of Insanity. Looking forward to day 3. My buddy and I keep each other motivated. This is the hardest and definitely INSANE! But love every moment of it.0
