Not new but first post [pics + some Insanity]

Hey all, name's Caitlin and I've been part of MFP since January [if I recall correctly]. I used to use MFP as a calorie counter but now not so much, since I'm not exactly following how many calories it tells me to eat [since I'm now doing the Insanity Program, and following that nutritional guide more-or-less]. Now I use MFP to record my weight and also browse the Success Stories quite a bit for inspiration. So I thought I'd post a few pics and just show everybody how I'm doing:
Beginning of Weight Loss Journey (~191lbs, January 2012):

After doing some Jillian Michaels multiple rounds of 30 Day Shred action (~162lbs, April 2012):

It was at this point that I had a bit of a hiccup for a few months, regained about 4-5 lbs...no biggie.
Anyways, for the beginning of Insanity (~164.5lbs, August 2012):


And now, these were taken a couple of days ago, in the middle of Week 4 of Insanity. I am currently 3 days away from finishing Month One of Insanity and can't wait to see the results at the end of Month Two. I know there aren't a lot of changes, but my energy throughout the day has increased ten-fold and I'm able to do the workouts without taking as many breaks as I had to during the first week [though I still can't do walking push-ups to save my life...]
Anyways...(~158lbs, September 2012):


Please excuse the abhorrent messiness of my mirror and the bathroom counter.
I hope you all enjoyed the pictures and such...and I hope they show up. If anybody needs any motivation, especially with Insanity [because trust me, for as hard as I've been working, I expected to drop 10 lbs within the first month like most people that start this program, but that's not gonna happen and I'm okay with it] then feel free to add me or message me or whatever.
Originally I wanted to weigh ~130 lbs, but now if I get down to ~140-145lbs and look the way I want, then I will be happy.
Anyways, I'm off to go do my Pure Cardio + Cardio Abs disc of Insanity. Happy hunting, everybody.
