Do you really lose 30 Lbs on Insanity?

jodyb23

It's a great work out, so hard but feels great. I just finished month 1, and think it's highly unlikely I'll lose 30 lbs. on the next month. My weight has been at a dead stall since the second week where I lost 4 lbs. and I haven't dropped a lb since. My body is losing inches and looking more toned I'd just like to see the scale drop, but I'm trying not to focus on that.

I am starting it today. Terrified as my friend threw up violently while doing it but i am determined to lose weight and tone up now more than ever. I shall post my before and after pics when i have completed it.

It really depends on how big you are to start. I actually put on about 5 lbs when I did insanity, even though I was watching my calorie intake and working out everyday. I put a lot into insanity too but I lost inches and got very toned. My clothes fit much more loosely afterwards too.

I obviously saw results but I found it to be better to stop looking at the scale when I did the workout.

Insanity has done more for my abs than....anything. I lost some weight, lost some inches, but my main result is a HUGE increase in energy/endurance, and a much slimmer midsection.

I add in circuit/weight training once a week, and bike/run once a week to mix it up. So for me a typical week is 4 days of insanity, 2 days of other workout, one day off. It keeps me from getting bored.

My boyfriend lost 30 pounds in two months doing Insanity... he stuck to it religiously, ate PERFECTLY and even quit drinking alcohol which is insanity in itself.
He just completed it a few weeks ago and is now keeping up with lifting all while continuing a healthy lifestyle (with foods).

The amount of weight you lose it dependent on how much you put into it and how much you have to lose, as well as what your diet looks like while doing it. I completed it last summer and lost 19-20 lbs. Gained it all back due to poor health and poor food choices..bla bla bla lol. But I am about to finish it again in 3 days and I won't give an exact number yet as my weigh-in is Saturday, but it's around there.

It's really hard, and you will struggle both physically and mentally. BUT - It's completely worth it IMO. I love Insanity.

ETA - during phase 1 (first 5 weeks) I dropped 9.7 lbs and my BF went from 42% to 37%, and melted 21" off from all over my body. :drinker:
My guy has actually gained 10 lbs doing Insanity as he is eating enough to gain since that was his goal - to cut BF and gain muscle mass. He has decreased his BF by about 3-4% I think, he didn't have much anyway, it's in the teens.

It really all depends, for the people that lose a lot of weight on Insanity ... they generally had a lot of weight to lose. If you are say, within 10lbs of goal, the scale probably won't move much.

I lost inches with Insanity, not pounds - my weight stayed the same but my clothes got more loose and I became more toned and defined. Went I went back to the gym after completing the round, exercises I did previously were no longer challenging - I am stronger and my endurance is better. Its an awesome program, don't focus on pounds though you can become discouraged - take pics and whip out the measuring tape.

Honestly, people rant and rave about Insanity but I am not a fan. This is just my opinion, so please do not get offended all you Shaun T lovers. The program is great for some folks, it just wasn't for me. In fact, I gained about 6 pounds doing Insanity. Lost NO inches. Gained em' instead! I did not follow the nutrition guide, but I do eat well and in a healthy manner. My thighs were swollen constantly while doing the program and my love handles were about twice the size that they are normally while I did Insanity. I did give it my ALL, in a puddle of sweat after each workout. I don't know what was going on with me and the program, but it sucked the life out of me and the fact that I was getting 'chubbier' was extremely discouraging. I much prefer P90X and am currently doing my third round of that again.

Like I said, this is not everyone's experience, just mine. Bodies react differently to different programs, mine just did not like Insanity one bit.

I'm on day 4 and I love it...it is really hard, but the feeling I get when the workout is done is incredible!! I always try to keep in mind that it's not our bodies that quit, it's our minds. If you keep your mind in it, you will succeed!! I'm not worrying too much about my weight although I would like to lose a bit more. As long as I lose some inches I will be happy and by the looks of things, I think that will be happening! Good luck to you and definitely buy it from craigslist or something like that. I got mine off of ebay for $60.

Ill be starting week 4 today of round 1 and I've only lost 6 pounds so far. I don't follow the diet plan but I eat well enough and stay in my calorie goal. Hopefully by the end of month 2 ill have lost 6 more pounds. I feel a lot stronger and I feel like my butt and thighs have gotten smaller/more toned lol. I plan on just repeating the program over and over until May...so that's 4 rounds in all. Hopefully I can lose 30 pounds that way!

I've just finished the 60 day insanity program, I lost 14lb and about 11 inches, I feel much fitter and stronger now as well, it is hard work and diet does make all the difference. After a few days rest in going to start an insanity/YAYOG hybrid. My before and agrees are on the success forum for anyone that wants to have a look.

yeah you can lose what ever amount, there isn't really a set amount that you can lose. I have completed the first month of insanity and have lost 11 Lbs, i've just started month 2 which is tiring but i wouldn't say its as bad as people are making out lol I love it! Was considering to do month 1 again after I finish but now not sure if to do just month 2 again

Me and my fitness partner measure inches for weightloss at the end of each week instead of the scale but I weigh myself after each month at boots
