  • Bump for later
  • I get up to work out at 5.30am and NEVER eat beforehand. I drink a cup of water and start. I've done 2 rounds of Insanity, Jillian Michaels, Bob Harper, and currently I'm doing Focus T25 with Insanity Upper Body Weight Training thrown in 3 times a week. I don't know if my performance suffers as I've never done it any other…
  • Today I was inputting a recipe downloaded using the new system to import a recipe. The recipe had 100g of Kelloggs All-bran but the auto recipe input put 100g pineapple??????? What????? I gave up in the end and did it the old fashioned way, which was nearly as frustrating as mentioned by the OP.
  • I'm in the UK like you, and use Bulk Powders Pure Whey Isolate 90 from Bulk Powders.co.uk. It comes in lots of flavours, I've had chocolate and chocolate peanut and both are good, and are a good price. If you use code LS85494, you will get £5 off your first order. :flowerforyou:
  • I've done 2 rounds of Insanity barefoot onto laminate floor. I think you focus more on landing softly with nothing on your feet - it worked for me! I'm now doing Focus T25 - barefoot!
  • Thank you! That was after my first round of Insanity.
  • Here's mine - same dress - start weight 175lb end weight 140lb. I'm 5'8" and 44 years old. It's a bit small! My profile pic is also an after though!
  • This ^^^ I'm up, dressed and ready to start my workout before my brain has had a chance to catch up! I've been doing this for 3 years, 6 days a week - it's normal now! If it didn't get done in the morning - it wouldn't get done!
  • Hi! I'm from the UK and have completed 2 rounds of Insanity. I got my t-shirt by sending my pics to the link shown which is America based, but my t-shirt was shipped in the UK. I also had to ring customer services on the 0800 number, which was answered in America, but I've had no problems with the service. I did find them…
  • I agree - you're not eating enough. The T25 Nutrition Guide suggests you should be eating 1600 calories.
  • I once had a cranberry and white chocolate cookie that was really tasteless. After I'd eaten it I found out it had over 300 calories. I was gutted and REALLY wished I hadn't bothered but it was too late! I've had similar cookies previously and enjoyed every mouthful but not that time!
  • Yuck! That could almost put me off flapjack - almost but not quite - they are YUM!
  • In the US - not here in the UK
  • These are the ingredients for my own variation of a flapjack recipe; Porridge Oats, 100 g Light Brown Soft Sugar , 125 g Golden Syrup, 75 g British Butter Unsalted, 125 g Dessicated - Coconut, 30 g Nut Mix - Almonds, Raisins,, 130 g Sunflower Seeds, 25 g Whey Protein Isolate 97%, 120 g Melt butter, sugar and syrup then mix…
  • T25 nutrition guide says you should be eating 1600 calories - maybe increase the amount you eat, but you do need to log properly as others have said
  • I am repeating the whole thing including month 1. I don't see results doing it, but I never have month one anyway. I do enjoy redoing month one because I can really focus on form and intensity!
  • I do Insanity on an empty stomach - just water! I have a protein shake immediately after.
  • Thank you :blushing: I finished my first round of Insanity on 22nd December 2013, then all went wrong over Christmas, when I took a week off. I did some other DVDs for a couple of weeks then restarted Insanity. I had to take a week off after my 2nd week as I hurt my back. I intend to finish this round, then I'm away for a…
  • I'm at Recovery Week of my second round of Insanity. The first time around I didn't want to lose weight particularly, just tone up my tummy area primarily. I actually put on 1lb by the end but measurements did go down. Waist, tummy and thighs by about an inch each. I didn't follow the diet plan, but I did use their guide…
  • Haha! Chocolate is tough! Last year I said I wasn't doing it again as it was too hard! I was suggesting to my daughters that they give up sweets or biscuits - one said she'd rather give up vegetables or school .........:noway: I will be doing alcohol again - chocolate is still only a maybe!
  • I'm the same -I'm not religious,but enjoy the personal challenge. I've done chocolate and alcohol for the last 3 years. Alcohol is good and I like not feeling like I have to drink even though I don't drink that much anyway. Chocolate is much more of a challenge!! I also have given up unnecessary spending, which saves a…
  • ^^This! Exactly what I was gonna say!
  • Thank you for the info - that's great! I finish Insanity on 22nd March. I have 2 weeks where I'll do a mixture of Insanity Upper Body Training, Fast and Furious, and Sports Interval Training. Then I'm way for a week. I was looking to start 14th April
  • Hi! I'm doing my 2nd round of Insanity at the moment and am thinking of doing Body Beast afterwards. Do you need a pull up bar for it? And would I get on ok if I have dumbells with changeable weights or is it better to have the free weights in different sizes (if this makes sense!!) I have some free weights but not much…
  • I'm 5'8", weigh 146lb and my calorie burn, according to my heart rate monitor, is always around the 280 mark for the 40 minute Insanity workouts. I work my butt off and am drenched in sweat. I've always been slightly disappointed with the calorie burn, but was thrilled with the results by the end the first time I completed…
  • I actually put a couple of lb on the 1st month. I was disappointed as, although I wasn't looking to lose weight I also didn't want to put it on! There was no change in measurements either. It all happened the second month. I lost 2 inches on my waist and 1 inch on my hips. I gained 1lb overall. This time I'll eat fewer…
  • I do the same as you - good all week and don't worry too much on Saturday. I'm 43 and have 2 children and my tummy was my problem area. My profile pic is me after Insanity - there was a huge improvement, but it all happened in the 2nd month! Good luck and keep pushing play :happy:
  • I don't think Insanity ever gets easier, you just get better at it! I finished my first round on 22nd December and I'm starting my 2nd round on Monday - I'm still scared! slouw10 - the pain goes away by the end of the first week really! wendyfahy - The results mostly come in the 2nd month - keep at it! You'll be amazed!
  • Finally figured how to do pics on my posts. This was my first round of Insanity - I'm starting my second round on Monday: before; after;
  • Yes, I'm in the UK and I've applied for my T-shirt, have had an acknowledgement and am waiting for it to arrive. You go onto the Beachbody.co.uk website and download the application form. I've then e-mailed mine with before and after photos and proof of purchase attached. Good luck on your Insane journey - I loved it! And…
