Done! Some things were easier this morning! I'm noticing too that my heart rate doesn't take as long to get where I need it... before it took a few to get up there... Have a great day everyone!!

Good morning!!! Fit Test #2! I hope you all do great!! I did much better than last time... still not up to the level of a lot of you, but I'm proud! Go me! :-D Switch Kicks: 39 >> 50 Power Jacks: 25 >> 40 Power Knees: 32 >> 73 Power Jumps: 10 >> 20 Globe Jumps: 5 >> 8 Suicide Jumps: 4 >> 8 Push Up Jacks: 9 >> 10 Low Plank…

I've been following LCHF since January and just kept right on with it... I increased my macros in proportion to my Insanity calorie burns, but stuck pretty much to what I've been doing... Last week I lost 4 lbs. This week won't be as much... it's time to start adding back in some carbs....

I did the required squats for my squat challenge, went to church, out to lunch, the grocery store, worked on a pinewood derby car, birthday invitations for my son's 9th birthday, and I'm about to go to start my 3rd load of laundry... oh, and our monthly budget... doesn't look like much on my FitBit activity log, but I'll…

SW: 225 CW: 210 GW: 197 UGW: 130 Goals this month: Stay consistent with my diet and workout for at least 150 minutes per week. (I know that doesn't seem like much, but I work 11 hour days so any exercise will be an accomplishment to start). Weigh in Dates: 2/01: 207 2/08:207 2/15: 205 2/22: 203 》2/28: 200 Total weight…

Wooohooo!! Week 2 is done!!! I've noticed a lot of improvement! Still not 100%, but I have a feeling I could go through it twice and not be 100%. I have to say Tanya is a total BEAST!!! She kicks butt in all the videos!!! Lovin' Insanity today!!! Enjoy your rest day folks!! Monday comes quicker than you expect!

Yes! Day 12 down!!! I nailed the power jumps for the first time this morning... figured out how to get my knees up after jumping! I was doing it all wrong. I could still only do approx. half what they were doing, but I did it! Much more energy in my workout this morning, but it took a minute to get into it... doing a squat…

Done!!!! I paused it during the 1st set of slow squats and did the full 65 needed for my squat challenge.... big mistake!!! My legs were on FIRE!! :-D Week 2 is almost down and we're still HERE!! Have a great one!!!

Good morning!! Day 10 done!!! My fitness level is definitely improving! Still not doing so well with the Level 1 Drills, but in everything else I improved over last week! :) My heart rate monitor stopped working... I've only had it for 6 days or so and it just pooped out... hoping I can return it and get a replacement…

Day 9 done!! :) Definitely easier to complete than last week!! I still have problems with the moving push-ups... push-ups for me are HARD and I can only manage a few at a time right now. I feel great!! Ready to tackle the day!! Let's go kick some booty!! :) Have a great day!!

We did it!! I did so much better than last week, but still have a ways to go to ace it! Rest day turned in to power house cleaning day... I think I missed my Insanity!! :) I did push through the whole workout, but gave out on a few of the moves... did so much better on the Power Jumps than when I started! Proud of me…

I should have paid attention... It's for Xbox One.... I have 360... Oh well. I hope you find a buddy to work out with! Have a great weekend!!

Great job getting the first week in! Just finished up myself! Squat jumps are NOT my favorite... a mini-goal for me is to make it through the entire workout without giving up on those or the level 1 drills.... Have a great weekend!! REST DAY TOMORROW! :-D

First, Make sure you're getting your greens... If you're still having problems... Try some Dandelion Root Tea.... it works great! Steph

Hi!! There's a group of us that just started this week! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/56997-insanity-challenge-starting-feb-17-2014- I've found LOTS of Insane buddies to work out with! :) Steph

Hiya! I have the DVDs, and I have and XBox Kinect. This weekend I'll research how to do Insanity on Kinect! Sounds like fun!! And my son (17) will probably LOVE it!!! Steph

"I'm not trying to hurt you, I'm trying to make you better!" Hahaha! He hurt me this morning!! :) Had to stop quite a few times myself! But stuck it out and finished the workout! Feeling GREAT right now.... but ask me again after I've sat in front of this computer for an hour and try to stand! :-D Hope you guys KILLED…

So glad it's not just me.... End of the day and my muscles are SCREAMING at me! :)

Right there with you!!! Fit Test today for me too! Kicked my booty! :)

Good morning!!! Insanity Day 1! I'm a little rusty, so be nice! :) No real workout in about 2 years... Switch Kicks: 39 each leg Power Jacks: 25 Power Knees: 32 Power Jumps: 10 Globe Jumps: 5 Suicide Jumps: 4 Push Up Jacks: 9 Low Plank Oblique: 12 each leg Not exactly sure this is the way to record this (ea leg or total?).…

Any other low-carbers? That peanut butter cookie recipe was spot on! I use Premier Protein Original Chocolate - affordable and not bad tasting. It's not great, but I've yet to find a super high protein drink that is. A lot of my fb friends are drinking Shakeology.... too many carbs for me (and a bit pricey). Steph

I'm Stephanie. I'm 37. Married. Mother of 2 boys, ages 17 and 8. I'm an accountant who sits all day in the world of numbers and spreadsheets and you can clearly tell as I have gained quite a bit over the past few years. I started seriously dieting in Jan at 225 and so far I'm down to 207... so I'm adding in some…

Edited to delete my dumb question!! You posted the link to the group in the original post... sorry.. : |

I'd love to join in!! Will we just be continuing the thread or will you be creating a group? I've done the first few weeks of Insanity before, but it's been a while... :) Can't wait! Steph

Bump. Interested too! May invest in one around June.

Happy Monday everyone!! So sorry... I didn't have access to a scale Saturday, so I weighed in this morning... I hope that's ok.

Add me! I'm Atkins! :)

I have mine EARLY in the morning, so no blender for me :) If you melt the butter, coconut oil, and cocoa powder in the microwave and stir it in to hot coffee, it works pretty good... if you leave it sitting it'll separate a little, but (and don't judge me :)) I drink the "thicker" part off the top and add more coffee...…
