  • I don't weight train, but in my experience just losing weight will help with the appearance of cellulite. I'm 5'7 and when I was ~150 the cellulite was very visible and extended halfway down the back of my thighs. Now I'm 142 there's much less (though it's still there) and it's just at the top of my thighs where they meet…

  • Ditto the Allen Carr book for me. I wasn't actually planning to quit when I started reading it (a friend had given me a copy), but by the end of the book I really wanted to. Of course, I had been fed up with the stinkiness and expense for a while, but the book's great for laying out all the reasons to stop totally,…

  • I followed the Insanity nutrition guide calorie estimate of 1750 for the first 8 weeks of Insanity and I think it was too high for my size (5'7 140-145 lbs). My visible results were minimal: an inch from my waist and one from my hips (I could stand to lose 3" in both of those places). Everyone talks about how the 2nd month…

  • If any other new-to-TurboFire people are reading, you should check out the starter class online: http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/turbofire-fire-starter-class-video.do I just finished it (I couldn't bear to face another max plyo session from Insanity - I REALLY don't like that one). It's a nice little…

  • That's total calories. The Insanity guide doesn't have you eat exercise cals, they're already included. And 5 lbs is good progress for the first month!
    in not losing weight but doing Insanity??? Comment by hpage84 April 2012
  • Hi there. This will be my first time trying Turbofire. I started trying to get healthy in late February when I started Insanity, which I'll finish on Saturday (thank God). It's been a little too intense for my liking, and I haven't gotten the results I wanted, despite working hard and eating the 1750 calories the nutrition…

  • I'd say the 3rd week was the toughest part of month 1 - I was really starting to flag there, but just managed to not skip any workouts. The 4th week was better b/c I was looking forward to recovery week. And now that recovery week is almost over, I'm ready to ramp up the weight loss with this final month. I feel kind of…

  • Wow, those are some fantastic results! Congrats!

  • This is my situation too. I started insanity in order to lose 10 lbs, though of course 15 would be nice. My beginning weight was around 140-145lbs (the same weight I've been for the last 5 years) - fairly normal for 5'7", but I'd like to be trimmer. This is my first diet/exercise program in 5 years, so my fitness level was…
    in Insanity...less to lose Comment by hpage84 March 2012
  • Whoa, that's some serious weight loss! How are you doing with that heavy-duty calorie restriction? I would be thinking about my stomach all day - are you able to tune it out? Last night I caved and had my first diet Coke since starting insanity - it was a long work night and I wanted the caffeine fix but it was too late…
