    Good morning sleepy heads :)

    I've started Insanity (again) this morning. Just finished the fit test.

    I've just had a crazy (insane) thought about upping my exercise a notch and doing Insanity in the mornings and turbofire in the evenings :eek:

    Insanity is 9 weeks; Turbofire is 20 weeks so if I'm insane enough, I could do Insanity twice over so I'll finish both around the same time :D

    However, this is just a crazy thought at the moment :rotfl:


    Agreed, you are Insane :D Makes me tired just thinking about it. You must be really fit now.

    I did the Insanity fit test, pulled my back and ended up not able to move for about a week :o Good luck if you decide to go for it.

    Morning all :wave:

    Fred - 1lb off for me (again) this week.

    Total weight loss is 12lbs, which averages at 2lb a week, but it feels a bit disappointing not to see a bigger difference on the scales every week. The average is going to drop anyway, it's inflated by a good loss in the first week, which was Christmas gain.

    Matryoshka - that's insane! ;) Ever thought you might be addicted to exercise? Not that it's a bad thing, I was like that with step aerobics about 20 years ago. :o I used to do at least 3 sessions a week, 4 if I could fit it in alongside working and bringing up 2 children.

    World-of-tights - don't worry about what the scales say, they're only a guide to how you're doing. How you feel and how your clothes fit you is more important.

    Have a good week everybody - good luck with your weigh-ins.

    My tummy is still big :( Measured my waist this morning (I measure around the navel) and it was 33" :eek:

    Once my tummy goes down, if it ever goes down, I will slack off the exercise a bit. Don't know what I'm doing wrong tbh. The rest of my body is well toned :)
