Oh I took my measurements today too. In just one week, I've lost:

An inch off my neck
An inch off my chest (bra band)
2 inches off my waist
1.5 inches off my hips
1.5 inches off my thighs

So in total, 7 inches. That is completely crazy.

I initially lost 5.6 lbs but I think I gained a couple back so I'm trying to stay off the scale for a few more days or just suck it up and accept that it's going to go all nuts for the next few weeks.

That far exceeded my expectations though, and I've never had results like this from anything else I've done this quickly. Hopefully that will keep up, I have a lot of weight to lose too.

Ok so my shorts fell off (all the way to the floor) during the warmup for the plyometric cardio circuit! :blushing:

That was rather unexpected...

Meanwhile, the scale won't budge, but I've heard that happens so I'm just looking forward to measuring and doing new progress pictures on Monday and taking another fit test. I feel way stronger and I can't wait to see what the results are.

LOL, no but I was in the living room and my front door was wide open so I had to scoop them up quite promptly because there were some people outside! :glasses:

Week 2 is DONE. Rest day tomorrow.

This was the first day with cardio abs added on. It's short but it's a killer but I think I might switch it up to insane abs instead because I really need to extra core strength.

Thanks for the encouragement, SleeplessinBerlin! :flowerforyou:

I did all Insanity workouts without my shoes on, on a nice 1cm thick workout mat, I had shin splints for a few first days, after that they were history!

Did you go through the whole two months without shoes? I started without shoes and it hurt my feet and knees to jump so much. I was thinking about adding my mat over the rug because wearing shoes when I'm sweating that much grosses me out. Like my feet get all hot and by the cool down I've usually taken them off. I tend to rip them off first chance when I know I'm not jumping anymore. But I'm afraid I'll mess up my knees for good.

Soooo, fit test 2. Anyone still hanging in? I haven't done mine yet but I can't wait to see the improvement. I feel a lot stronger. I'm going to take a new set of progress pictures today too and I measured.

I may not share those until the end, I actually feel fatter this week for some reason, my stomach looks all terrible and like it has cellulite on it and so do my upper arms. I had some modest progress on inches lost but nothing like the first week. So everything stayed the same except I lost 3/4 inch off my bust and a half inch off my waist, hips and thighs. I'm not going to complain about a loss, but WTF is up with my body. My scale weight is all over again, I've been up and down like 6 or 7 lbs over the past 2 weeks.

It's sort of interesting, like watching a science experiment in progress.

I'm either the last one standing from this thread or everyone is just really busy. Oh well. Just took fit test 2, here is how much I improved:

Switch kicks 57 ---> 80
Power Jacks 48 ---> 53
Power Knees 65 ---> 83
Power Jumps 33 ---> 39
Globe jumps 4 ---> 9
Suicide Jumps 14 ---> 15 (and with correct form, my first round was pretty sloppy)
Push-up jacks 8 ---> 16
Low plank oblique 18 ---> 46

I noticed I had a lot more stamina, even by the end and my form was much better on everything. So all in all, not too bad for 2 weeks of work. :glasses:
