Torismith001 - that's awesome! Don't worry about switch kicks, maybe your count wasn't right one of the times? I know I got confused with my counting the first time! Your results are looking great!

Month 1 completed!! I finished on my favourite workout today - Plyo Cardio Circuit :) those drills still beat me but it is partly because i'm sweating all over my floor and keep sliding around during ski abs and in and out!! So looking forward to my rest day tomorrow and recovery week. I definitely need it!! Doug - well…

great clevage!! and i want your top ;)

Doug - i had to double up one day as I missed an insanity workout due to holiday and no time. It's not as bad as you think. Just drink plenty of water, don't do both on an empty stomach and just get it done. You'll feel amazing after!!! I did my last ever pure cardio and cardio abs workout today. I feel so determined to…

Did Insanity Cardio Recovery - still can't hold those lunges and squats full time! It burns soooooooo much! But I'm definitely getting better! My friends said today how much they've noticed my body changing, which is really nice to hear :) Really looking forward to finishing month 1 and seeing more results with the next…

Hi everybody!! Nice to see so many new faces :) Feel free to add me! I'm just finishing up month 1, got 3 more workouts to go and then recovery week!

I'm really pushed by MFP - people on here are not only encouraging but full of useful tips and information! Because of this site, I know now about how much I should be eating, the benefits of strength training, and also the importance of macros! I knew nothing about dieting before I was here, and now actually it's not even…

I'm about 140lbs and want to get to about 135 - so nearly there!! SW was 167 so when I get there I will have lost over 30 pounds :) I'm 5'5, UK music student, studying in Germany! I'm doing Insanity (nearly finished month 1) and i eat 2000 cals a day :D and still losing!

Cool thanks! It's fat that I'm generally over with - but looking at my diary that's mainly because of the meat I buy and occasionally have an oil on my salads! I read up on here and I'm not afraid to go over on protein or fats! I'm going to try and buy leaner meat, which will leave more room for nuts and oils and things.

My TDEE is around 2500 I think, and I still want to lose weight so Insanity nutrition guide told me to subtract 500 cals from that. Somedays I eat more than 2000, some days I eat less - it kinda averages itself out. I just think I need to focus more on hitting my macros cos at the moment I don't at all! My activity level…

For some reason I don't mind mountain climbers - it's the drills that really get me! I have a surface floor not a carpet so by that time i'm super sweaty and my hands are sliding around all over the place! Finished Pylo Cardio Circuit today, only got 1 more and then no more! I still quite like this workout - i respond well…

Tuck jumps, power jumps - i hate them all! I can't keep up with the class! But I do them, and just at a smaller pace - and really focus on my breathing!

I've nearly finished month 1 and so far I've lost 4-5 lbs I think. i can see definition in my shoulder, and my stomach is definitely smaller. I haven't taken comparison photos yet but will do in recovery week I think. Can't wait for month 2 (actually i can, i'm terrified!!) but if that's when the real results come in then…

Great job!! Yeah I guess that's what recovery week is for - the mind as well as the body! BTW, managed to get through the whole of Cardio Power without a break today, an Insanity first for me! So perhaps a sign it's time to move on ;)

That's a tough workout! I did my last Power cardio and resistance - got a pretty good burn which i'm proud of! Definitely feeling like it's the last week of the month 1, as I'm feeling not so motivated to do the workouts these days. I'm just tired! But I'll push through and do them - i want those results more than i want…

Ha! This is what worries me... If I find Pure Cardio hard to get through then what about Month 2?? Still the body is adaptable I guess so where there's a will there's a way. And I think sometimes I forget how I was at the beginning of this month. Had to take breaks all the time whereas now not soooooo much. I'd love to be…

I can fit into my denim skirt for summer - for the first time in nearly 5 years, and.... I no longer have cellulite on the backs of my legs!! I've been plagued with it for years and it's just gone, so happy!!

Hi dougt17 - I've added you :) Don't be too hard on yourself - I hear month 2 is a monster and i think it's perfectly natural to feel overwhelmed, and if you do your workouts later in the day, they can seem a bit daunting! Just take it one day at a time, and tell yourself - it's only an hour out of your day! And the…

Jill Halfpenny - she's gorgeous!

I'm sorry i can't really help as I haven't gotten that far yet! Does anybody else have any idea? I think most people use a HRM to get an accurate burn, not sure what i would recommend as an mfp exercise though!

I doubled up Insanity workouts yesterday because I missed Sunday, and boy am I feeling it today! My knees and legs in general are sore!! Got another Pylo cardio circuit today and then my rest day tomorrow. I feel bad that I went away this weekend - i mean I generally kept up with workouts, but my food was terrible. We ate…

I don't have a set time when I do the workouts - I just find the time each day. Sometimes it's in the afternoon, sometimes the morning - it depends on my classes really. It does sound like you're a little burnt out - are you eating enough protein? So that you can recover? And maybe do something nice for yourself in the…

I've had days like that but I'm getting better a out them now. I could see myself getting obsessed over numbers and calories as that's not good. If it really bothers you then maybe workout a little bit but I think the important thing here is to train your mind. We all need to indulge at times, it gives our mind and bodies…

Oh no!! Now I'm really worried... Pure cardio and cardio abs kicked my bum today! I did them completely back to back without a break but I got through it! Then did a walk round Berlin. I called it 5 hours on mfp but it's probs more like 6 or 6.5. Anyway my feet and legs are knackered - so I'm off to have a curry :)

Wow those are seriously impressive first time stats! Enjoy your first workout :)

Hi guys! I've lost 25lbs so far from last summer and still got about 8lb to go. I mostly want to lose body fat at this point and just focus on getting fitter and healthier. I did Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred - not religiously but it got me started. Now I'm doing Insanity and going to the gym as well. I like it here on…

Just did my 2nd Fit Test and got some great improvements on my 1st numbers! Here are my 1st and 2nd fit test results side by side: 1. 85 - 136 2. 46 - 53 3. 75 - 97 4. 60 - 60 5. 8 - 10 6. 14 - 17 7. 16 - 29 8. 45 - 63 Yay, now for a shower and lunch! :D
