Second month can be a little different, but then again we've built up endurance to take it on, right?

LIke the others said, just keep sticking with it! Check in here daily to let everyone know how you're doing. They'll know they're not alone either! I'm on the second month and still need to take breaks, or sometimes just hit the Rewind button if I wasn't quite ready when they started the next exercise. You'll get better…

Haha, well the workouts are a little longer, and some new exercises thrown in. I actually like them, definitely a little tougher but it's what the first month got us ready for right? Hopefully it's enough to push me past those final few pounds!

Hey Michael! It's great that you're looking for both diet and exercise, much easier when changing your life on both fronts. There's a ton of things out there, I'm doing the Insanity program right now. Definitely intense but has had great results so far. Hopefully the second month can get me to the goal weight. :) I sent…

Hey Tony! Great that you're starting back up on the process. I lost 65 lbs a few years ago, gained it back and then some after a family tragedy..finally rounding on the last few. Can definitely use some motivation and support here too! What are you doing to reach your goal? - Matt

Hey Ryan, If I hit the plateau, I see what else I can change to push through. Sometimes the body adapts and you need to change things up to reach the goal. Look at what you accomplished so far, you're much farther and better off than when you started. No reason to stop or slow down! I look to see if I can change up the…

Thanks both! Definitely month 2 is a whole different monster than the first, but it's worth it! I like the new moves, definitely steps it up a notch but keeps it from getting boring. HJO1403 - great job! What's next in line for you? therocpile - hope you recover quick, but I'm sure you'll kill it when you do! I was…

Anyone else by chance around the same part of the program?

I don't care much for conversation. Add away :)

Definitely give it a try! I'm restarting Month 2 tomorrow (shifting work schedule threw me off) and so far have lost 14 lbs from it and eating better in general. Don't forget to check your measurements and record the Fit Test results, they really help motivate and show what you've accomplished! - Matt

c_ocean is right, you'll soon need less breaks and burning a ton more calories. I'm restarting Month 2 tomorrow due to some work schedule issues, can't wait! - Matt

I use it in my meal replacement shakes as well as cereal. I usually get the kind with extra protein and fiber (unless I pick up the dark chocolate kind). It's really good and haven't gone back to regular 1% milk since! - Matt

I use JayBird Bluebuds X while on the elliptical, and I run a minimum 30-40 minutes and sweat a good bit too. They are great for staying in the ears too! Little more expensive, so definitely get the warranty!

Hey Corri! 3 years with Insanity, that's great, it must have given you awesome results so far. Insanity is awesome but it can be a bit difficult for me to fit in the workouts before work, etc sometimes. I actually ordered Les Mills Combat for something a little different, and to help vent any aggression from the day. :)…

Hey, I'm currently using the JayBird Bluebuds X and they work great. I run on the elliptical for a good long while, usually twice during the gym visit and they hold up pretty well. I did have to have a pair replaced, but since I got the warranty there was no issue. Just brought them in, picked up a new pair and was on my…

Hey! I'm currently on week 1 of month 2, but definitely up for another person to check in with!!! Who knows, you might get farther in the workouts than you thought! - Matt

Here's mine from today (Month 2, Day 1), immediately followed by the Max Interval Circuit. Most recent are on the right, did much better than I expected! Switch Kicks 56 - 50 - 58 Power Jacks 30 - 52 - 64 Power Knees 55 - 75 - 90 Power Jumps 32 - 25 - 30 Globe Jumps 7 - 9 - 9 Suicide Jumps 8 - 10 - 12 Push-Up Jacks 8 - 19…

Congrats! I'm about to start Month 2 myself tomorrow. It might just be that you're able to push yourself that much harder, so you can get a lot more reps in. Even the people in the video and Shaun T have to take breaks and are sweating, and they've obviously done this more than a few times! Keep going! And if in doubt,…

Hey Exwilson, I'll send you a friend request. I'm actually just about to start Month 2 tomorrow myself (excited and a little nervous :smile: ) I've been seeing great results so far, so it's definitely worth it if you put the effort in! Definitely up for all the support I can get as well! - Matt

Hey Jen! I've been using this site for about a month and it's definitely been helping me keep better track on eating, especially with a workout routine too! Never hurts to have others for encouragement! - Matt

Hey. I'm currently on my second month of Insanity, and really like it so far! I've been changing my eating habits and all too, but it's helped me lose some weight :-) Actually month 2 begins tomorrow. T25 is by the same trainer Shaun T, but only 25 minutes to a workout so it's a little easier to fit in for those on a tight…

Hey, I sent you a friend request. As long as it is only one day and not making it a habit, you should be ok on today's eating. :) My family tends to throw all kinds of bad food at me at gatherings, it's like they intentionally make too much and don't eat it so they can guilt me into doing it. Anyway, feel free to add! I've…

I love my Fitbit Flex and have only had it for a month or so. I didn't know that it automatically synced up to MyFitnessPal, which was a nice surprise. It's really great how it incorporates any exercise into your calorie allotment, so it makes sure you're actually eating enough! Definitely recommend it! - Matt

Hey Emma! I just sent you a friend request. It's great to hear you are positive and back into it! I'm recently back to my college weight (elliptical, eating better, etc) but hoping for some friends and motivation to get those last few pounds down and keep them down! - Matt
