    Depends on how much effort you put in to them and your nutrition. I have not done Insanity yet, but I have done most of P90X (75 days). I lost 20 lbs, but that is deceiving because also added muscle mass. With that said, you will lose more weight doing Insanity because you will be doing a little more than body weight work outs with P90X and have slightly more muscle growth.

    There is potential for weight loss with both.
    The intense cardio that you get from Insanity can give you a heavy burn.
    On the other hand, with P90X, you are building muscle, which is also good for burning fat.

    The real question you should ask is what level of exercise do you want?
    With Insanity, it's fast paced, balls to the wall.
    P90X is more slow and methodical.

    I have tried the P90x but not the insanity Personaly my favorite is Les Mills Pump with the bonus videos and step. When i did P90x I did loose weight and inches but the pump in my opinion is just awesome plus I love the Music!

    honestly they'll both work fine if you are eating right .. P90X will help keep your muscles more toned and reduce the mass lost from losing weight while Insanity will probably burn more calories allowing you to eat more. Either way you need to set your nutrition accordingly to lose weight properly.

    btw, P90X plus running plus MFP worked great for me.

    I've done both, and the diet is a big deal with the weight loss. Insanity is so cardio based and P90X is weight, so the goals are different. With Insanity, I messed up my knee in the last week of the program and to this day it still acts up. Lots of jumping/explosive moves so make sure you have great shoes and cushion on the floor.
