Yeah it's fun. I just need to toss the scale away until the end.

Today was day 2 of month 2. ...Plyo. I enjoyed it. It was tough but I can see I'm going to get a good upper body work out. This is a lot of work but fun!

Yes...you need 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Sleeping 4 hours alone will increase your weight.

Awesome! We are part of the same class. I'm seeing a difference. I like what I see...the scale is just not playing nice. Either way, month 2 should be a blast!

That's great. You'll enjoy it! Be prepared to sweat!

Ha...that's what I keep telling myself. LOL So you are part of the "inches" crew too. Yeah...I'm liking the results. I may need to just drop the scale off at a family member's until we are done. LOL So cool. You are our seniors! How are you liking week 1 of the 2nd month. I'm excited and nervous at the same time!

Consider trying garcinia cambogia. Nutrasource.com (not net) sells 3 bottles for $30. It's supposed to do a bunch of good stuff. I'm not sure if it does do all that stuff but it does curb my appetite. Not for you if you are a diabetic on insulin or a drug that drops your glucose below normal ...since it is supposed to…

Great Job. Exercising will help too. LOL on the 2 apple pies...that would get me...they would toss it in your face...2 apple pies for 99 cents...and i would add them in in addition to my Oreo mcFlurry that was waiting as desert! LOL Craziness

LOL at your leg weights question Insanity teammate. I doubt you are asking that anymore. LOL I think we'll have awesome legs when we are done with this.

Wow...amazing transformation.

We started Insanity the same day! I'm calling us day 10! (Sunday rest counts!) 10/63. I too am thinking of adding treadmill to the program. I do love it but I think I could benefit from 40 minutes of treadmill in addition if I want to lose weight. Tomorrow is a perfect day to start. Thursday is easy with that Cardio…

Great job.

Actually, thanks for the idea of preparing ahead of time and warming up. I don't always think of that. As far as time/preparation = money...yes...one thing is if you are taking extra time where you could have made money. Another idea though is if you having a break is so valuable to you that you would be willing to pay…

Time is money and effort to prepare is money though. It's the same with microwavable foods. When i buy healthy it is definitely cheaper but then I need to put in the time and effort to make the food (and the patience to wait) compared to fast food and microwavable food. The way your argument would be valid is if you could…

No. That wouldn't convince me. Taxes can't be the answer for everything. I like the freedom concept of America. I'm OK with premiums going up a little (possibly with a healthy BMI deduction)...which would be a hidden extra payment if your entire family isn't normal weight. that's different than taxing people at point of…

I think it helps with prevention. For example on tax deductions (the rare person who can qualify), you are not allowed to deduct costs unless you have an additional associate health issues that the obesity is contributing to (e.g. hypertension). I think with the universal health care coming it may affect policy with…

It could also lead to: -proper recognition and assessment -greater self accountability -more resources to help people who need help It may actually lead to things like tax deductions when people are doing things to fight obesity. I hope it doesn't lead to passing blame as you say. I don't think it will. I hope it won't…

-There are diseases that are slowly brought on over time. -I'm with you on the taxes. i don't want new taxes. Unfortunately health premiums might go up a little to cover obesity if I'm being honest -I don't think anyone is saying "genetically inevitable". Different people have different genetic predispositions. I agree…

Also, the bottom line with the public is it might help some people to call it a disease. Some people don't want to think of themselves as having a disease so they might take obesity more seriously. I know I'm one of those people. If obesity had been labeled a disease rather than just a "risk factor", I think i would have…

As a doctor, (haven't read the article), I'm supportive of it being a disease. Why? -Body in a state of disordered function -Genetic predispositions -Contributes to some serious health effects (diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, increased risk of cancer, effects on the fetus…

My thoughts 1. Your body does get more used to it by the second week. I'm no longer scared. 2.As much as I hate stretching, i enjoy it because it's your break and it eats up time. LOL It's like cheating. 3. I might start running on the treadmill again on Wednesday in addition to insanity. i miss it. I wasn't sure i could…

Great job! We are rooting for you! Go get em!

Cool. How much weight did you lose on it each time?

Really liking Insanity. Now that i see how it works, I think I might be able to create some fun exercises when its done that i enjoy to keep the body moving. One I just made up involves stairs: -5 quick push ups towards the stair that is directly across from your chest with arms straight (you can go one higher to work…

Congrats! Yeah...I like him too. LOL -round 1 day 6 here!

That's cool to hear. So tell me, does the "Level 1 Drill" get easier? Is there a harder "level 2 Drill"? LOL I've heard others say most of their weight fell off month 2 so hang in there. It makes sense to me that most would be month 2 since month 2 seems longer. ...like closer to an hour instead of closer to 40 min. Maybe…

In general though, I would think heart rate monitors couldn't be accurate. It doesn't make sense to me. Sure, they can give you an idea of how hard your body is working and your heart...but: 1. It would not know if you are moving just part of your body or multiple areas of your body. 2. This would especially be important…

Thanks...I won't bother with them then. I would rather underestimate than kid myself. I think the high impact aerobics underestimates so I'm fine with that.

Thanks for the info. By the way people, if some of you want to chime in on how you are doing on insanity right here in this thread, that would be cool. i don't feel like joining a full facebook group with challenge etc. but i enjoy hearing your stories and excitement. Misery loves company! i like hearing others are getting…
