I know it's a day late, but doing insanity will start to raise your metabolism like crazy the first few weeks if you haven't been crazy active leading up to it. I was so hungry the first few weeks and then finally slightly upped my calories for more strength and energy. Your body may be telling you it needs more food (or…

lol, my bf laughs at me because i give shaun the finger all the time! i am losing a ton of sizes, i'm on round 2 of insanity. thanks for the post! Those vids work, but YOU have to put in the work and really want it. I used to swear at him and give him the finger but by the end of the workout i'd give Shaun T a thank you…

i just deal with the pain. it doesn't get easier, because you push yourself more. The soreness goes away. Now, it only hurts while I'm doing it, so keep working it!

I've lost 18 pounds and tons of inches. it's so hard, but so good!

to me, recovery means, easy...not to shaun t...he tricks you everytime with the planks, it gets me so mad.slow push-ups, really?

i don't think anyone except tanya and anna can get through the workouts! i'm on week 8 and as silly as it sounds, i try to dig deeper each time. i was still cursing at shaun t and flipping him off during "max recovery" this week. it does get better, but my boyfriend was laughing at my new habit of yelling into the towel…

If you don't have a heart rate monitor, then I would try to Google and see what others burn during the same workouts and average that out. Failing that I would use the MFP burn for cardio or something similar to the workout you're doing. Maybe taking it down a bit so you don't overeat the calories back. A heart rate…

I've been logging calories burned with a HRM, and eating back most of my workout calories. I have MFP set for 2lbs a week loss, so I've been averaging about 1700 calories a day, which is about what the insanity booklet said. I haven't been following the meal plans so much, but we eat almost the same things (mostly). There…

oh, btw, i forgot to say, i puked 3 times in the first warmup!!

I'm on week 7 and love this workout! I've lost 18 pounds (I have 22 more to get to my goal) and have gone from a size 12/14 pants to 6/8 and I still have more weeks to go for my first round.

OR, start lifting, throw the scale out, and realize that your body can be tighter and leaner while still weighing more that you thought was proper!!! Muscles look great!!!

Assuming this isn't a troll post, I would guess that the best thing for you to do is realize that you are at a maintenance weight and become happy with your body. What is your frame size? That has a lot to do with your weight and how it's carried. It sounds as though you are at a healthy weight for your body and your body…
