Ladies with big Insanity workout results!! Where yall at?

MrsNgounda · May 2013

Hello Ladies!!!

I am seriously thinking about doing the Insanity workout DVD. I posted this to see how many women have gotten Insane or just really good results. I guess you can say that I'm trying to hype myself up to do the workout. I have been having some trouble losing my pregnancy weight. I would love to hear what you ate and how often did you eat to get the results that you've gotten. Because from what I was told that when you do Insanity you have to eat a whole lot of calories in order to get the results. What do you ladies think??........I NEED HELP!!!!!

I'd love to hear these comments too! I'm starting a week from Sunday and am looking for some supportive friends who are doing or have done it!

75 down, 30 to go!!

Bumping to hear what others say about how much to eat. I did the calculation from the Insanity program and came up with around 2000 calories!

I am starting Insanity in a couple of weeks. Would love to get a group together to cheer each other on!

chineyLuv · May 2013

I'm currently on my last week of Month 1 and I think it's AWESOME!
As some of my MFP friends keep re-iterating, dont focus so much on the scale when ur doing insanity....b/c it might just be that the pounds won't drop as fast, but the your dress size WILL change!

My suggestion: take your measurements.

As for food, i pretty much eat every time I'm hungry.
Insanity burns approximately 400 - 600 calories per workout, depending on how hard you push yourself. And I highly recommend that you get an HRM.

I'm always accepting new friends

And good luck on your Insanity Journey! :flowerforyou:

Yes! Please add me to your group when you make one! I have a couple gals that I already Friend Requested who are starting on Monday too!

ataylo30 · May 2013

I do Insanity and it makes you HUNGRY but it makes you SWEAT even more! I think it is worth it. I do it with two other people and we cheer each other on and keep each other accountable (it's so easy to sit down and watch them instead of do what you are supposed too when you are home alone

) Do it and love it, it's only sixty days! Good Luck!

pdiddy02 · May 2013

I am re-starting Insanity yet again. I was so afraid of the workouts, and thought I wont be able to do it everyday, so I did a hybrid of CLX-Insanity. Now, I am in love with Insanity. So I am just focusing on Insanity now.
I am starting it tomorrow. Feel free to add me - lets make it happen!!!!!

darleneporter · May 2013

I am starting my insanity program tonight, i am so excited. By reading a lot of forum post, it is okay to say that looking at the scale will be useless, but you will notice the change in inches. So, everyone cheer me on as i take on this challenge, i hope the exervise is as fun as when i was in the military doing physical training routines. hoorayyyyyyy!!!

kjjm08 · May 2013

I started week 2 today. It's an amazing work out and I love. I have gained 1-2 lbs but that is normal with Insanity, so don't freak! I look forward to seeing how I'll end up in the end

Good luck everyone!

2sweet84 · May 2013

hey ladies,
I'm on week 5 and reovery week. Not seeing lbs dropping but do see differences in the mirror, my shoulders are more sculpted, i have little biceps and generally feel more toned.
i'm 5ft 7 and weigh 138lbs or 9st 12lbs so do not want to lose a grea deal but you know what ladies and scales are like and am told the magic happens in month 2.
i also cycle around 6 miles as well on week days.
I'm currently doinfg a diet of 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fats and consuming 1600 - 1700 cals but i'm thinking of pushing this up in month 2.
Would be great to hear from you ladies who are on the same journey & what kind of results you are seeing. I do love it and am still motivated to keep hitting play.
Good luck and well done everybody :-)

MariahHubert · May 2013

These are my results after just 2 weeks. Left is day 1 and Right is day 14.
I realize it's not "big" results, but I'm still working

Edited to fix the size :oops:

msmariimac · May 2013

Wow, those are great results after only two weeks! Are you following the nutrition plan as well?

I just started in Monday and this is great motivation

FitSuga · May 2013

My husband and I are going to give it a go starting on Monday. Hoping for good results. I wear a fitbit so I'll know what to eat however I know I'll be in the 2400 range as far as calories.

yurika975 · May 2013

I am thinking of adding a few of the workouts into my weight loss routine. I'm adding in more fruits and veggies. I have been eating between 1200 and 1500 calories. I have been doing taebo and sometimes adding in some Jillian Michaels. I have done a few of the Insanity workouts to try it out. I may have been doing it wrong as I ended up with a backache. Ugg. But I used the formula to figure out how much I should be eating and it gives me over 2000 calories. I'm not sure about that. But it might make sense because the scale hasn't been budging. I'll try one tonight.

OP when did you have your baby? Congrats btw. I can't keep saying mine is baby weight because my youngest in 8 :grumble:

MrsNgounda · May 2013

My daughter is now 19 months old, and I was thinking about doing Insanity to really drop some pounds. We'll see.

karriearm · May 2013

I have been doing Insanity for over a year and jogging for 15 years. When I started doing Insanity it I wasn't watching what I eat, so I didn't lose weight. I toned up, but felt frustrated that the scale wouldn't budge.
Exercise has never been my issue, I love working out, it is the intake that can hinder success. I am guilty of taking a bite of this and a taste that, finishing my little one's plate (Mom's out there will relate to this) and as a result could not lose weight despite doing Insanity and the like. I was a "fat" runner!!

In January, I started using MFP and logged every bite of food I ate. I started out eating 1200 calories a day plus added back exercise calories. This was a great motivator to work out every day, since eating just 1200 a day is really hard! I did purchase a heart rate monitor and discovered I was not burning nearly the amount of calories I thought I was, so get one!! Also, I got a little stuck in my weight loss a couple weeks ago, so I ADDED about 300 calories a day and have lost the final 3 pounds.

I have been working out 6 days a week, doing a hybrid of Insanity and jogging. Last month I purchased Insanity the Asylum, because I LOVE Shawn T. workouts. In my opinion, Insanity and The Asylum are the only workout video's worth doing. When I work out I want to be dripping with sweat and panting and both of these do not disappoint.
Having said all of that, I have been able to lose 21 pounds and am at my goal weight now (though I am going for 3 more. lol). I can wear a size 4 again, that is 6 sizes down!!

Don't stop at 60 days, keep going! After 60 days do a hybrid with some other exercise, like jogging, cycling or anything you enjoy. If you do these things, there is no way you won't get your goal. I am 38 years old, the mother of 5 (one twin pregnancy) and have struggled for years to lose the weight. Insanity and MFP finally got me there! Trust me, if I can do it, with my "nearly 40" metabolism, anyone can do it.

Swissabroad · May 2013

I just started Insanity Workout and am into day 5.
I've always been reasonably toned as I do a lot of sports like martial arts and dance, but there is just that persistent fat around my belly that I couldn't lose, not matter what I did.
Now 5 days into Insanity, look at the results below. Apologies for the face censoring, I'm a bit shy so don't want to reveal my face... but it's the body that counts!
It's mindblowing! My belly fat that was so persistent before is melting away in record speed now! This training is better than anything else I'd ever tried before so far.
Did I follow the meal plan? Not really. With my lifestyle it is very hard to eat 5 meals a day. I reduced my daily intake to match the recommended calorie figure, but I still eat some sweets (ice cream, chocolate) every day and drink a glass or two of wine every other day.
Insanity seems to be working for me... but mind you, it may not work for everyone. And yes, even for an athletic person, it is extremely tough - but it's worth it, every single drop of sweat!

Rokosmummy · May 2013

I am in my first week of insanity and cannot wait to see the results.

MariahHubert · May 2013

Wow, those are great results after only two weeks! Are you following the nutrition plan as well?

I just started in Monday and this is great motivation

No, I've just been eating better

MikaelaTaberner · May 2013

I just completed the full insanity program this week. Here are some comparison pictures from about 2-3 weeks after starting to day 60 (I wasn't comfortable taking pictures when I first started, but really wish I had them now!). I lost about 2 inches from my chest, waist & hips from doing insanity and definitely feel like I'm the most fit I've ever been. I actually haven't weighed myself since starting, but everyone I know has been able to notice a difference & I am so happy that I stuck with it! I had MFP set to lose 1lb. a week and ate back all of my exercise calories, which averaged out to about 1900, which is about what the nutrition guide recommended for me, too. I didn't follow the nutrition guide perfectly, but took some inspiration from it and ate a few of the meals in it regularly and focused on getting as much lean protein as I could. My results would likely have been better if I could have given up alcohol, but I did limit what I drank and tracked all of my calories from alcohol. I just started Turbofire this week & hope to see even more results in the next few months.

Anyone starting insanity that needs some motivation or support please feel free to message me!

inkysmurf · May 2013

I completed insanity last year. I totally loved it. But i didn't lose a lb in 2 months - but I toned up brilliantly.
100% take pictures - I took them weekly , its great to actually see changes happening!

Before I started I was obsessed with google "female results from insanity" and I thought I was going to lose tons of weight - lots of folk say month 2 is when the magic happens.

Knowing what I do know I think I wasn't eating enough to lose (I was eating 1600 total calories not NET! and burning between 500-600 with insanity and then 1 &1/2 hours of walking on top)

Swissabroad · May 2013

Wow remarkable! I'm at day 6 now and can see results already. Thx for posting this is very encouraging for all of us who are working their *#@! off with Insanity.

Gemb22 · May 2013

I'm on Day 8 now and have noticed quite a big difference already. I'm not following the meal plan on insanity however have been eating healthier. My calorie intake has been between 1200 and 1500 depending how hungry I feel. Appreciate some people may say this is not enough but its down to the individual. Don't weigh yourself just go on ow your body feels and ow your clothes fit.

Jdloman · May 2013

I am currently on Day 11 of Insanity and I feel like my upper body looks more toned. Before I started, I read people's comments about seeing results within 2 weeks and I thought that they were INSANE...but I definitely do see a difference. I also feel that my clothes are fitting a little differently. If these are the results that I am getting after 11 days, I can't wait for day 60!!!!
I would love to talk to others that are currently doing the program to keep up the motivation to continue. This is the first workout that I have done that I actually look forward to.

abril713 · May 2013

CaseyM1985 · May 2013

I just finished Round 1 on Sunday and started Round 2 yesterday. My pictures are on my profile (though, the first picture is really from about half way through) and all my fit test stats are in my "exercise notes" including the exercise I did that do.

I lost a little over 20lbs in the 60 days and thought it was an amazing program. I love Shaun T too!

Happy Insaning

tichara84 · June 2013

Hello, since I finally decided to insanity. Last year I started to get in shape and with a good diet successfully lose 26 pounds in 6 months and even now I'm thin with weighed 116, I have yet tummy: (. And now finished day 3 and wait to see results. Though I confess that my legs hurt a lot and it still did not get discouraged, do not want to miss any day, I hope I will see results and after am going to post some photos
