W6D1 done! And I ran the whole W5D3 20min! Whoop!

Another C25K advocate here! I download audiobooks from my library and hit the road. It's a wonderful program and if you had told me I would be jogging regularly as a result, I would have thought you were crazy. But here I am! Week 3 done!

Week 3 Complete! W4D1 begins Wednesday!

Just finished week 2 here! I'm finding that I actually really enjoy it! Especially, the feeling of accomplishment after I'm done. Starting week 3 Friday!

This thread is the best thread in the history of MFP!

I'm 5'9" so your numbers might be different, but I can't imagine them going lower than 1600. Yes, I was really glad I found what worked for me. It feels good to finally see some progress! Good luck and pm me if you want the links I used. I'll go back and look up my notes!

A friend would say, "Wow it looks like you had a great vacation! I'm so happy you got away to relax. You deserve it!". And would never, ever, ever shame you. Disguising a hurtful comment as a "joke" doesn't make it okay. Friends lift you up. PERIOD.

I would like to preface this saying I am no expert, but am sharing my personal experience. My entire "losing weight" life, I steadfastly kept to 1200-1400 calories/day not caring what type of food I put in my mouth as long as I was in that range. I lived on Diet Coke, fat-free anything, high carb and did cardio. I was also…

Absolutely! The workout effects are just worth it, in my opinion. My body completely changed it's shape. Nothing that dieting or other exercise programs did for me. It's crazy (Yes, Insane!) and you put as much as you can into it. You WILL see results and at the end, you'll feel so powerful and strong! The other effects of…

Check my profile pics for 30 day results from behind. Followed the meal plan 100% and eliminated: caffeine, sugar, gluten and of course all the pop, junk, etc etc. Will be posting my finished pics soon! Finished 2 weeks ago and am on round TWO!

I choose a Luna Protein Bar in Cookies and Cream. So good...170 cals and 12g of protein! Keeps me full and sidelines that chocolate craving.

I put it in soups! And using No-Salt broth with it. Just throw cooked meat and veggies and it's yummy!

15 lbs in TWO months. First month was 11 lbs, second month 4 (so far). However, my body changes were much more noticeable in month 2. Just stay away from the scale! And remember 5 lbs of muscle takes up MUCH less space than 5 lbs of fat! Keep Pushing Play!!!! Edited to add: I'm finishing round ONE in 4 days...Round Two is…

I'm 4 days away from finishing and it's changed my life! My advice: 1. THROW AWAY YOUR SCALE: 5 lbs of muscle is smaller, takes up less space than 5 lbs of fat. If you have to weigh yourself, then only use the scale every 30 days. 2. Get yourself a tape measure and measure yourself weekly!! 3. Follow the food plan as…

I've switched to Ezekiel bread. Have you tried that?

It does feel like week 12! I'm almost done with month 2! 5 more days!

Kandyhar - you're doing AMAZING. If you lost almost 9 inches and 5 lbs, I know there's a difference there! You're not doing anything wrong! You lost over a pound of fat per week, and what about the muscle you gained? Are you following the food plan? I follow it 99% of the time. Also, I started MFP at 5'9" and 208lbs. I'm…

Way to go! Keep pressing play! Yes, you can do this!

beck0708 - I saw your video before....AMAZING! You inspired me!

I'm 9 days away from finishing Insanity!!! I'll post pics then! Also: I was TERRIFIED to start Insanity. Cried every day the first week before the workout. But it is so worth every single drop of sweat, every dollar spent on food and the work out, and every tear shed. Why? Because I'm better. For me, hubby and kids. Round…

I FEEL YOUR PAIN! I did cold turkey on ALL caffeine and artificial sweeteners, dyes, sugar, white bread on the day I started Insanity 54 days ago. I looooooooved my coffee, Starbucks, espresso, diet and regular pop and would have multiple per day. That first week was ROUGH, TOUGH and I was a mean lady. Headaches the size…

Great job starting Insanity! You are in for a crazy ride! I had a similar problem, but mine was upper body strength. I was SO SORE for many, many days. Painful. However, taking a heat pad 2x/day with Advil it worked itself out. Icing afterwards can't hurt, either. From what my Doc told me, your body is using muscles it's…

No, not terrible at all!! You will improve, I promise! And, you won't believe the difference between your Fit Tests. That, along with how great you feel, how much more energy you have will make it all worth it. Just tell yourself, you'll never see those numbers again!

I'm in week 2 of Month 2. Insanity WORKS. I have no idea how much weight I've lost, as I've weighed myself once since I started (lost 11 lbs so far). However, my cellulite is almost gone. I've lost 4" in my waist alone. My energy is through the roof, I'm happier, my skin is healthy, and clothes I never got into FIT. I was…

Oh absolutely!! I know when I hit 40, I finally felt comfortable, confident and really knew my body and how to use it ;). Hubby likes the 40 year old me! And confidence is the #1 thing that makes anyone sexy in my humble opinion!

Almost done with week 1 of month 2. It's completely kicking my butt. It feels like when I first started, however, NOW, when the moves come up, I don't tell myself "I can't do that!". I just say, "OK, here we go!"

Ditto. And my pain/discomfort level was about 10% of what it normally was. Oh and for chocolate cravings, try the Luna Protein bars! SO GOOD (IMO) and come in cookie dough! First time I've ever stayed on plan during "that time".

I'm in Month 2 and the first thing that popped into my head was "throw away your scale and get a tape measure!". Inches is where you'll notice the difference. Follow the food plan, too. Nutrition is 75-80% of Insanity. You can do it!

Hi there :) I started Month 2 today and did that yes, INSANE, 59 minute workout! With some of the moves, I said, "NO. WAY. REALLY??" But I was surprised that I did it. That month 1 really helped!!! Noticing GREAT results after Month 1, so I can't wait to see myself after Month 2 is finished!

That's why my complaining and negative self-talk never worked! *light bulb*
