I am doing Insanity and I just started month 2. I have seen some great gains, lost 18-20 lbs, 12.5 inches off my chest waist and hips, improved on all my fit tests, and can see the difference in my pictures from day 1 to day 30. All that being said, I still can't focus on the positives, all I see is the 30 lbs I still need to lose and my gut, love handles and man boobs I can't shake. I tell myself "it has only been 30 some odd days, these are the best results you have ever seen" but I still just get down....drives me crazy. Sorry for the whining post. Just needed to vent a bit.

    Well yeah. I still have 25-30 lbs to lose and it sucks, but I figure I'll get there eventually... keep up the good work.

    Just keep thinking about your wedding and that beautiful bride of yours - look at the life you are creating that will be so much better then if you gave up. It takes time and you've had AWESOME results. One little saying that I keep at work while I'm starting out with bettering myself is "It takes 4 weeks for you to see results, 8 weeks for your friends and family and 12 weeks for the rest of the world - keep going!" I have 25 more pounds to go - we'll get there :happy:

    Congrats on your progress so far.

    Focus on what you have accomplished. You are doing great.

    I envy you "only" thirty pounds from where you want to be.
