    Hello All ~ I just finished the Fit Test (day 1) and I'm wondering how you all are tracking calories burned? I bought a watch style HRM and it said that I only burned 30 calories... that can't be right, can it???

    Also, those of you that have been at this a couple of weeks ~ did you increase your calorie count from the recommended MFP goal? My MFP goal is 1200 a day, but the Insanity guide says to follow a 1500 calorie diet? Thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.

    Thanks everyone. I can't wait to see what progress we make throughout this journey!!

    Okay, here goes!

    Start Date: July 16th
    Projected End: Sept 16th
    Following Nutrition Guide: No- I count my own calories and such
    Starting weight(with Insanity): 170 ( I gained after the wedding and have yet to update my ticker....)
    Goal Weight(hoping to reach after completion): Realistically I should say 155 but I want to shoot for that 145, however muscle weighs more than fat so as long as I fit into my skinnier jeans it's all good by me!

    Following Nutrition Guide: No, but I'm a vegetarian who eats fairly healthy. I'm going to try to stick to eating 5 times a day, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. :\

    Starting weight(with Insanity): 110

    Goal Weight(hoping to reach after completion): I don't want to lose weight. I just want to be fitter and to be able to have more endurance.

    Feel free to add me! I'm a great encourager. ;-)

    That can't be right. Sounds like your HRM isn't working. I'd go by the calculations set in the Insanity program instead of MFP calculations. MFP had mine set at 1200 also but with the calculations for Insanity, it's 1600. You're going to need more healthy calories just to get through the workouts. Hope this helps

    I might add that I burned 216 calories just doing the fit test. I know everyone is different but 30 is extremely low

    This is my second round of insanity. I did not get the results that I expected during my first round, I believe my diet was as fault. No more margaritas for 60 days, lol.

    Just finished the fit test. Jeepers!

    Start Date: 7/16/12
    Projected End: ~9/22/12
    Following Nutrition Guide: No. I'm kind of picky, so i'm just tracking my cals. Need to get a heartrate monitor to track these workouts.
    Starting weight(with Insanity): 215.4 :(
    Goal Weight(hoping to reach after completion): Under 200 would be nice, but nothing real specific. Just want to feel stronger. I'm also going to keep trying to walk 2 miles, 5 days a week.

    Good luck everyone! :)

    I'm totally in! This is my second go to Insanity... I made it through a month two years ago when I bought it and I hated every minute of it. Went on vacation and fell off the wagon. I'm giving it another go, and I'm all in. Actually enjoying it this time.

    Yes, that is where I got mine. It only took a few days. You should call them up if you haven't gotten yours.

    Me too. They should have sent you an email with a tracking number too. Definitely call them.

    I finally found some nerve and made an "in progress" Insanity video with my progress from Day 1 to Day 42. Here's the link if you'd like to see:

    This is so far out of my comfort zone, but here we go. I think the only thing holding me back was fear that I won't change, but that's just not an option! Check it out if you get a chance.

    *please let them see a difference!*

    I'd love your 'subscribing' support! :D

    I am on my fourth week of Insanity. I eat 1200-1300 calories a day. And yet I haven't lost any weight. What am I doing wrong???

    I completed my first fit test today. Fit test itself seemed as a awesome workout. Monday will be an off day for me.

    Start date: 07/17
    End date: 09/23 (I forsee some break due to my husband's hernia surgery)
    I dont specifically follow the insanity nutrition guide. But I eat clean and count calories.

    I had the same issue (and am also on week four) but did measurements and weight today and weight is finally moving! Just a little (1lb) but that is a start. I've lost another half an inch off my waist though and now have the smallest waist I've ever had as an adult. Woo!

    From lots of reading, it looks like the biggest effect in measurements and weight comes in the last month. I can wait :)
