Guten Tag!! Well, I have just started my 2nd week of Insanity. I began at 222lbs 3 months ago and I am down to 184.5 now. I have an additional 30-35lb I would like to lose.

I am 46 and live in Reno, NV. I have 3 kids (21, 20 & 9) and am very happily married. I am the Customer Service Manager for a global mining company having worked my way up from temping while I was pregnant with my first child. I have been there for 21 years (longer than some of you have been alive...haha). Oh, and I'm taking German right now, hence my opening .

I started Insanity after I finished 30DS. I want to be in better shape, healthier, sleeker. I don't want to lose a bunch of weight and feel weak, or be flabby, so I figured Insanity was my next step. It is killer, I'm not going to lie, but dang if it doesn't feel good to know you can do it.

Hello! My name is Mandi and here is probably more info than anybody really wants or needs to know about me! I am 35, I have 3 children (15, 13 and 8). I have been called a modern day hippie by...well, most of my friends! HA! I eat mostly organic, I don't eat meat, however I am not a vegetarian. I will eat things made with meat in them (just pick out meat) and made with meat broths. I don't eat meat because it is very hard on my digestive tract. I also have celiac disease so you wont see any gluten containing products on my food diary. I have 2 herniated disk in my neck, 1 bulging disk in my back and arthritis in my lower back. So, sometimes I have to be super careful about my body movements. I am VERY positive! Not in a bubbly annoying way, but in a law of attraction way. I feel like anybody can do anything, they only need to believe they can. My husband I have incorporated the practice of Kaizen into our everyday lives and I love Anthony Robbins!

I moved to Texas Jan 2010 from Wisconsin. When I moved here I weighed 205 (I am a little over 5'9"). I got down to 185 just by changing my eating habits. Last summer I started back at the gym ( I have been a gym rat off and on for 15 years, that is actually how I injured my neck...workout bench broke while doing and inclined bench press) and got down to 162. I am back up to 168.8 presently. I would like to weigh 150-155. But as long as I shed the fat and increase muscle mass I don't really care what I weigh.

I also juice...so on my rest days if I do a juice fast I may not log food. I know how many calories etc. are in the juices I regularly use and therefore will be able to maintain proper nutrition.

If anybody wants add me as a friend on here please do!

When I reread this I realize it is all over the place...my 8 year old was talking shop with me (he is building a massive lego world in the living room right now)!

Hi, my name's Nate. I'm 37 soon to be 38 and I'm in Kansas City. Anyway I was 357 last November when I started eating better and exercising. Ran the warrior dash for my 100lb goal and it was tough but I finished. Next year I want to kick its *kitten* (pardon language). I'm a former Marine, I know pain and how to get over it. It's just taking that step into the brick wall that sucks. I'm at 233 right now my goal is to be 200 by September for a Marine Corp reunion. I want to start toning up a bit by doing some weight training and see improvement but want something structured.

Don't forget your before and after photos. I realized to late how awesome seeing progress is in pictures.

I'm Renae! I'm 25 and am a finance coach and finishing up my RN, BSN (dual careers cause I get bored easy lol). I'm engaged and meeting the extended family in Oct so I'd love to drop the 10 pounds I've put on in the last year being with my fiance. I'm also going to be running the Donna breast marathon in Feb. Last spring I did about 2 weeks of Insanity inbetween 2 half marathons and knocked off 12 mins; so I'm excited to do the full program to kick of my marathon training.

I'm also starting Monday

I am starting on Sunday the July 1st. My goal is to do Insanity nights and 30 day Shred Mornings. My goal is to get down to 120LBS. I am 5'6.

o and anyone else feel free to add me for an extra cheerleader :-)

Hi all!
I'm Kristi and I'm 39. I started a new position this past school year and consequently added 25-30 pounds to my "need to lose" column. All totaled, I'd like to lose about 60 lbs. I want to get off as much of it as possible, while staying strong, by my 40th birthday at the end of October. I'm on day 7 of Insanity, which is by far the easiest! (no Insanity workout today!). I love, love, LOVE it so far! Shaun T is very motivating. For those just starting, be prepared to feel sore, but be prepared to get stronger! Today I swam a workout. I've been a swimmer all my life. Seriously, I could feel the power I'd gained, especially in my glutes!
Take pictures and measurements!!

Oh, and whoever said they are doing the 30 day shred also, be careful not to overdo it. Insanity really is that intense.

Looking forward to journeying with you!
(oh, I'm off for the summer, so Insanity will take me to my official first day back! I want people to notice a difference!)

Hey everyone! My name is Michelle & I'm 21 (turning 22 next month!) I recently graduated college in December, & I will be going to grad school starting in September. (:

I officially started my plan/journey to get fit in February of this year. The highest I ever weighed in was 183 back in high school, and I lost around 25lbs before I graduated, but during college gained some back & was yo-yo dieting & losing/gaining the same 5lbs. I am 5'3" & currently weigh 145, hoping to get to the 115-120 range.

I am currently in week 3 of insanity (& sadly did not take any before pictures..) but I was just looking to shake up my workouts & get more fit in the process.

Hi! My name is Luzel, i'm 25, and 5'9"
Need to lose 16 lb by August, so I reckon thats not too impossible?
I'm on day 4 of insanity, day 1 nearly killed me :-) I had to keep on starting and stopping the dvd, finished the whole one, but it took me about 10 minutes longer! Same with day 3!
So my goal is to finish Insanity... even if it takes me longer than the 60 days, at the end I want to be able to keep up with the DVD 100%...
Good luck to you all, add me if you want to, I'm on MFP every day.

Hi, I'm Nikki. I live in Orlando and am 36 (37 when I finish) I am 5'4" and am bouncing around 160-163. I would like to get back down 135 ish. I have hypothyroidism so it's a tough battle to lose weight and well, I get lazy without fast results. I'm a RN so following the meal plan doesn't work, but I am eating much cleaner. I starting insanity on Monday and already can feel a difference. I would like to lose weight and tone up. I recently had breast augmentation so I want my lower half to look as good as my upper half, lol. I have never seen my abs and want to see them!!!

Thanks for adding me! I am a 25 yr old mom of two (3 yrs and 5months) through college and babies my weight has gradually risen to 226. I recently moved to Chicago and I want a total life change. I chose insanity because my husband had good results with it and honestly I need something intense to get me going. I have tried other weight loss programs that were designed to be non invasive and I didn't see results soon and got discouraged. For the first month, I didn't follow the diet plan but just tried to eat well and I haven't seen the results I want. (only 3lbs and 2 inches) So for the second month I am tracking and measuring my food. I have definitly seen over the last month how what I eat and when I eat affects my workout and my energy levels. I have seem a huge difference in my cardio and endurance so far and I am excited where the next month will take me!

Hi all! I'm KiKi, 30y/o SAHM/student, about 215 (I'm waiting to weigh in the day I start Insanity). I've been at this for a while and have hit a major plateau - hoping Insanity will help shake things up a bit. I actually got through the first month of Insanity back in March then went on vacation and totally fell of track. This time I've got nothing planned, and I'm going to make it through the 60 days! Please feel free to add me if you're an interactive MFP user!

I'm sooo excited to have all of you guys together on this program!!!!!!!! You all sound wonderful, very hard working and determined!!!!!

Let's keep our eyes on the prize!

Careful she's packin heat!

Hello everyone !

My family calls me Mini. I'm a foreign language student from Germany ! I just discovered this app myfitnesspal yesterday... and i love it ! So exicted to start tracking my calories and eating habbits.

I work part-time in a clothing store and I moved about 3 years ago due to my studies. Well I felt some kind of alone I Guess and compensated it with food... and i ate when I was bored. And there was so much going on, my mum got sick ( her kidneys do not work anymore )... so much things that made me feel bad , so I just ate.

I gained soooooo much weight.... 5 years ago i was around 53 kg ( I dont know how much this is in lbs, we count in kg in Germany)... and now I weight 68.6...(my maximum weight was 72 kg) I really dont feel comfortable in my skin. Moreover I have lots of clothes I don't fit in anymore -.-

My family and my bf don't say anything about my weight, but I can see the way they look at me... like "she should definetly do something to loose weight"... and I mean I am so young (23 years) ... I should enjoy myself and not hide myself.

I so ordered insanity ! So happy to found this group !

What a about a post "dairy " ? So everyone could state every day that they are still on track ?

Mina
