    Lebanon county here!!! Grew up in Lehigh county....moved to York county, then Cumberland county, and now In Lebanon county. Any PA peeps feel free to friend request! Looking for some INSANITY support.

    How are you liking insanity? I did it for about a month but stopped. I wasn't really on point with my nutrition which is most of the battle. But the workouts were pretty intense. Pure Cardio is a beast of a workout!

    starting on Sunday.....i sat and watched the fit test..lol... Im SO excited to do it. I just finished P90X, got my nutrition pretty much in line (not 100% but Id say about 90% on mark). I didnt lose the body fat I was hoping to. I know there are muscles under there now...hoping Insanity will reveal them!!

    I am sure Insanity will reveal them. You'll be amazed how many calories you burn during the workout. Your heartrate is constantly up. It's pretty awesome. I did 2 rounds of P90X. I gained strength and muscle mass but again, it was my nutrition that wasn't in check.

    I'm on my last week of Insanity. It definitely helped shed some of the fat. Feel free to add me if you need the support. It was during this time that I realized how much nutrition really affected the body. One of these days, I will start P90X.

    I went to Saint Joe's. The Hawk will never die! How long have you been in Central PA?
    Add me too. I'm from Harrisburg, went to school in both Philly and Pittsburgh and have family in the Lewistown area (outside Penn State). I've lost 15 and have 20+ to go. Starting to fall off the healthy wagon so could definitely use the encouragement too!

    Nice! Where'd you go to school in Philly? Before moving to south central PA i lived in Roxborough (just outside the city and close to Manayunk). I went to Temple U.
