    Oh, and I got my first loss after making a commitment to eat back ALL of my exercise calories. It was scary, but perhaps eating too little was an issue for me

    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!!

    I did increase my calories according to insanity I should be on 1645, I did set my calories to 1400 and then I was gonna bum it by 100kcals each week til I hit 1600ish but I'm already thre and i'm on day 4 lol you just need more calories i find, if my weight increases after monitoring for 2weeks Ill reassess then but i'm gonig to stick with the increased calories for now

    Hope this helps

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has calculated their calorie allowance according to Insanity, and it seems really high? Mine came to 1855 calories, but im only 5'4 and currently weigh 129lb. I don't want to eat too much! Help!
    Thanks in advance :smile:

    When I calculated mine I got around 2100 which seemed high to me too. I've been eating around 1900-2000/day and just started week 3 and can definitely tell a difference in my body and my clothes fitting better. Give it a try and see how it works for you :)

    yes I got mine from there, good quick service. I live in the UK and it took about 4 days to arrive. i can't join the online gym as I do not live in US or Canada which is a little disappointing

    i did fit test yesterday and was very pleased with how i did but i ate before i started and barfed in my mouth a bit. i know, yuck right. today i wanted to learn from yesterday so i did workout day 1 on an empty stomach. i was disappointed with the amount of breaks i took. to the people that are happy with their performance, are you eating before your workout and how long before your workout. i am having one other issue. both days i sweat so much that the spot i am working out on gets surprise slippery spots. is anyone else having this issue and if so what did you do about it?

    Following Nutrition Guide: Nope, just using MFP trying to net around 1500 a day.
    Starting weight(with Insanity): 153
    Goal Weight(hoping to reach after completion): 135

    I did the fit test yesterday and wooooow. I almost feel bad for counting any of the switch kicks or whatever they're called because I can't even kick my leg out straight in front of me. I didn't even try the two push-up ones since I can barely do a real pushup! Also I was worried about the ones that incorporated the jumps because I live in an apartment and someone is below me and I'm not looking to piss my neighbors off. I think I'm going to have to modify any exercises that involve jumps.

    I'm in!! I have also started this workout three times and can't seem to get more than 2-3 days in a week. I have done it both days this week so:

    Start date: 7/16/12
    End date: 9/13/12 will be 60 days - so give or take a few days
    Following Nutritional Guide: Nope. MFP
    Starting weight(with Insanity): 158.6 this morning and so not happy!!
    Goal weight: 135 - 140

    Feel free to friend me. I have been looking for some motivated Insanity friends:smile:

    I take a lot of breaks too and then I get mad at myself at the end. But the point is you are moving and keeping at it and will see improvements. I do not eat before I do it as I'm a night shifter so I wake up in the middle of the afternoon, work out, shower and then head to work. So I eat after. As far as the sweaty spots, I have found it best to keep two towels by me. One to wipe off my face and the other to wipe off the area I'm working out on as well as my hands, otherwise I slide around.

    OK, I'll stick to around 1800 and give it a go. I did day 2 (the first real day) and boy am I sore! But I feel good. Thanks for the advice :smile:

    i will try again tomorrow on empty stomach and have those towels ready. lol, why didn't i think of that. seems so simple now that you've said it. i know your right. i will just keep at it. if i am not happy with my performance, i will just have to keep repeating till i am. thank you
