So I noticed that there was not a conversation for this topic, Would be cool to see measurements as they are taken every 2 weeks:

Nov 20 2012:

Weight- 147.4
BMI- 25.3
Body Fat %- 24
Neck- 13
Chest- 34
Waist- 29
Hips- 36.5
Right Thigh- 21.5
Left Thigh- 21.5
Right Calf- 14.5
Left Calf- 14.5
Right Bicep- 11.5
Left Bicep- 11.5
Right Forearm- 9.75
Left Forearm - 9.75

Nov 30 2012:

Weight- 148.4
BMI- 25.4
Body Fat %- 21
Neck- 13
Chest- 29
Waist- 29
Hips- 34

Left Thigh- 20
Right Calf- 14.25
Left Calf- 14.25
Right Bicep- 11.25
Left Bicep- 11.25
Right Forearm- 9.5

    Those are great results. I keep starring at the BF! GREAT!
    How do you measure yours? Do you have a scale?

    I am using an online calculator for my Body Fat but really wondering how accurate it is. ( Probably wouldn't be if it was low, lol )

    Great job ladies!!
  • After completing 25 days of Insanity here are my stats:

    Dec 6th
    Weight-143 (Down 4 lbs)
    Measurements:
    Chest-36.5 (Down 0.5 inch)
    Waist (at crease when bending)- 28.5 (Down 1.0 inch)
    Bellybutton- 32.5 (Down 1.5 inch)
    Hips/Butt- 38.5 (Down 0.5 inch)
    Thigh- 21.5 (Down 1.5 inch)

    So happy to see results finally, after 6 months of trying to improve. I've always been active, but this program whooped me and still continues to. Hopefully I see the same improvements next month. If all goes well, I'll be done Jan 12th!

    WOW! Great job. :smile: Definitely motivating for the rest of us! I'll definitely be taking my measurement for my second round to compare. Hopefully the rest of us can get similar results.

    I bought one yesterday. Thanks for reminding me! I used to have one years ago but lost it. I was doing the online bf calculator but I know these are not accurate offcourse.

    I now have to figure out how to take the measurements correctly. A challenge in itself, lol...
  • Thanks everyone! I was happy to finally see results on paper.
    Everyone else is doing such a great job, thanks for keeping up the hard work and effort. It'll pay off in the end!

    Nicely done!


    A question to the rest of you, do any of you want to GAIN inches anywhere? Where do you want to lose inches?

    I'm hoping to gain in my arms and to primarily lose in my legs and then my stomach.

    If you want to gain inches on your arms, Insanity probably isn't the right program for you. You're going to want to start doing exercises with heavy weights. Jamie Eason has an awesome program I used for a bit and built up muscle. Check out Phase 1 of her program here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-trainer.html

    Thanks for the link! That's a program I've been wanting to look into just to know what it is.so,you saved me work.Those are my eventual goals.However, I'm more more of a believer in the rep effect as opposed to heavy lifting. I definitely agree that you have to do some form of weight or resistance to gain inches.

    At this stage, I'm taking the next year to do a lot of different programs and to see different things.It's one of the reasons why I'm not freaking out when my measurements or weight alters a bit because I'm experimenting with the different programs until I'm educated enough to help others and myself.I'm also starting to read different books based on different workout out systems and diets.I'll be updating what I learned on my MFP feed.

    It dos depend on how much muscle you want to gain, because I have seen other women record about an inch of gain on their arms... so, it really depends on how much you want.


    Thanks for the link and it's nice to know someone who has experience with it!

    Way to go Beckyloo!!!
  • After 51 days of Insanity, and the holidays, and being sick for a week so I had to delay the program, here are my results.

    Jan 8th
    Weight-142 (Down 1 lbs, 5 lb total)
    Measurements:
    Chest-36 (Down 0.5 inch, 1 inch total)
    Waist (at crease when bending)- 28 (Down 0.5 inch, 1.5 inch total)
    Bellybutton- 32.0 (Down 0.5 inch, 2 inches total)
    Hips/Butt- 38 (Down 0.5 inch, 1 inch total)
    Thigh- 22 (Up 0.5 inch, Down 1 inch total)

    Total loss is 5 lbs and 5.5 inches. Still have 2 more weeks to go! I started with the diet plan that comes with Insanity finally, so we'll see if that helps too!
