Hello,

I just started doing INSANITY 4 days ago and from the results I have seen on the internet people seem to lose more inches than pounds. I would love to hear from those that have done it (and were/are over weight ):

How much weight did you lose while doing INSANITY
How many inches did you lose?

Thank-you!

    I'm curious about this also. I've been wanting to buy Insanity for along time now, it'd be good to know this before hand.

    I've never done insanity, but my friend has and this is based on his experiences with it. From what I know it focuses on combining both cardio and muscle building. The muscle building is not as intense as strenuous weight training but it will increase your muscle mass a bit. So in theory you should lose inches and pounds at first as you're burning your fat, but later on down the line you see a slight increase in weight as you're building some muscle. This is true for many intense workouts.

    I've done 4 rounds of Insanity and I can't speak for everyone but in my experience, I've definitely lost more inches then lbs. I've become an ADDICT of the program. I can honestly say that I've LOVED my results! I've lost countless inches off my arms, hips, thighs and especially around the middle which was my problem area. I love SHAUN T! lol

    I'd definitely have to say that Insanity burns the inches more so than the weight. My wife and I both experienced this! It's a great program though that seriously transforms your body, physically and mentally!

    Anyone that wants to start a round of INSANITY on 12/26 is welcome to join my support group on MFP...

    I don't know why but I am losing POUNDS more than INCHES :(

    I have of course lost a few inches however but I just thought by now I would have lost more inches after hearing everyone else's results and I am sorta frustrated. I started at 168 on June 17th and now am at 154 today!! I am on week 1 of Month 2 of Insanity. (I skipped the recovery week, OOPS!!)

    The first month I lost 13 pounds!! Which I was thrilled about however I have only lost 1 inch on my calves, thighs and waist and have not even gone down a pant size yet!

    My stomach looks pretty flat but I have always carried the majority of my weight in my thighs and legs and I am really hoping more inches come off my thighs/legs soon! Trying to keep positive that it will!

    To those who have completed Insanity, do you think you had more weight come off in month 1 or month 2?? :)
