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

It's nice to see positive feedback on Insanity. I was a little skeptical about it since it was mostly cardio/interval and I was too used to my weight training (multiple bags of beans that I've already eaten lol.) but this gives me hope now that I have to rely on body strength training.

I've started Insanity about 2 weeks ago, next week I'll have to take the fitness test again soon. The workouts are challenging and also great but I don't think I've been doing to well when it came to diet. I know for a fact I've over eaten (mostly protein. I had an episode where I ate half a bag of bread and almost half a box of fudge cookies O.O) but I'm going to try to eat more filling foods and go back to my calorie take of 1200-1500.

I haven't weighed myself but I did notice some changes like being hungry ALL THE TIME. I also to gained some upper body strength, I can do 20 full push ups! (Not on my knees!) I think I see toning, some on my arms and definitely on my legs. I know I started losing some weight since I lost boob fat. I'm 5'4 and 111 last time I weighed myself. I don't have a HRM so I estimate I burn about 150-200 calories a day. I'm thinking of adding T25 to my regime, I'm not used to working out for less than an hour but it's nice to have more time to spend.

The real problem area I want to lose the lower belly fat area. I'm going to be serious about my diet starting tomorrow and try to add more fruits and vegetables than i usually do

I first purchased insanity after having my baby I worked graveyards an while the other two people would sleep at the office I'd go to our gym an pop in insanity at 2am by myself in there . I never made it to round two because we had to relocate (husband is army). I was able to see major changes in my body though even when I was not dropping pounds so I just ignored the scale. Just pulled insanity out again two days ago an I'm ready to make it through in its entirety this time. Here are a couple pics but keep in mind I only did one month so I still have major work to do.

....
"did you follow meal plan?"

I'm on week 3 and I have already dropped three pounds and slimmed down in inches around my waist and hips (hooray!) . I definitely see the definition coming back around my calves, quads, triceps, shoulders and bootay.

Another big plus was during this week's fit test I saw significant increase in reps in some of the exercises and I was finally able to do more than 3 suicide jumps and power knees. On week 1 they kicked my a**, I was like f*** this!

I'm glad I stuck it out.

hope this is not offensive but your boobs have perked so much in the after pics. They are phenomenal

wowwww

Ok, ladies (and gents!). I'm planning on starting tomorrow. I'm 5'1, 147ish and would like to be 115-120 (haven't decided yet what my ultimately goal is, really depends on how I look). Would like to drop 15-20lbs by NYE though. Hoping that doing Insanity in the mornings and walking/running in the evenings will get me to that goal.

I have heard a lot of people complain that it gets you "skinny fat" - are people finding that to be the case? Anyone incorporating it with weight training instead of additional cardio? What did everyone do after Insanity to develop more muscle tone or continue to lose more weight? Anyone did 2 rounds of Insanity? So many questions!

I'm on my second round of Insanity because I didn't get the results I wanted the first time due to not eating enough.

There is an Insanity/P90X hybrid that people use. I just lift with my boyfriend in the afternoons, so whatever he's doing is what I do. Insanity is definitely more focused on all over fat loss than muscle development, which is why it is important to do weight training to avoid the "skinny fat" look.

Bump

For anyone thinking of doing this I can say that I have done one full round of Insanity (all 63 days) and then I have moved on to the next round and am in week 2 of month one, this time around. I am now 5 foot 4 and now 126 lbs.

it is the best exercise I have ever done in my life. I have dropped the weight I needed to (which admittedly was only about 10lbs) but I am suddenly toned, a bit like athletes are and I swear I had no definition before I started. I showed someone my stomach the other day and they gasped and said "Noooo is that from Insanity????!!". When I said yes he was stunned and said he was going to buy it straight away.

It is tough. Really tough. In fact during the first week I thought "I can't do this - its too hard" and I used to run every day up to starting it.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

What I would say is if you find it too hard, the Hip Hop Abs DVD is good too. My friend bought it recently and we had a go the other night and laughed our heads off the entire way through - it was great fun. We did three of the workouts and it burned over 700 calories. I felt like a proper dancer.

I'm told that the T25 is also meant to be good. Less intense than Insanity and shorter, with similar results.

I don't know what I'm going to do when Insanity is over! I've never been so fit in my life (and I used to do Karate and Gymnastics).

If you can brave it - do it!

I've been working with Hip Hop Abs the past month..Haven't lost pounds, but lost 9 in on my waist. So hip hop abs is fun and really helps for abs!!! But, my waist was the only thing that changed actually...I want something to work other parts of my body, so I just bought Insanity!! Now my question is...Do I need to increase the calories I eat??? I've seen some posts where people started loosing weight when they increased calories!! Did you guys eat more calories while doing Insanity??

Tks!! And Good Luck everyone!!

<<<<< My profile pis before insanity and after insanity ....30pounds lost and a ton of inches from all over my body

How many rounds of Insanity did it take you to lose 30lbs. And how many calories did you eat?

Great to see this thread! I'm about to start Week 2. My poor muscles ached on Days 3 & 4 but by Day 6 I felt surprisingly better and Shaun T is such a great motivator. I find the photos and stories on here very inspiring. No real differences yet for me but my husband has already gone down a notch on his belt (grrr!) Lol!

I just finished the 60 days of Insanity yesterday. I'm starting over again today.

I'm 5'4. Day 1 I was 180lbs and I am now 157lbs!

I don't know how to post pictures or else I would put them on here. I've lost a little over 18 inches.

When I started on day 1 I honestly thought I was going to die from how intense the workouts are. My best advice is to "paint a picture" in your head of what it is that you want to achieve from Insanity...more fit, cut off inches, lose weight etc..And keep that picture in your head for the times that you don't want to workout, or you are too tired, or you want to eat a billion pieces of candy!

Good luck to you!

I just started this week... going to do be doing day 6 today and I gotta say I LOVE it! I really could not believe I actually have it in me to get through those workouts but I guess you'll never know how strong you are till you push yourself all the way!! I know its super early but I have to say my arms and calves look more defined. Can't wait to see more results as the weeks go on! I'm doing it with my 2 uncles and cousin as a family thing and it definitely keeps me from wanting to miss the workouts - its actually really fun doing it with everyone!

I attempted insanity back in June and completed a week and half before I just couldn't get the motivation to keep going. Now I really want to get toned, and look fit. So I decided to start again. I finished day 2, and I can can't believe I didn't remember how absolutely exhausting it is. Reading everyone else's stories helps a lot though. Good luck to everyone!

Hi all!!! I'm on my last two weeks of Insanity. When I first started I threw up, literally! And now I'm addicted.
I feel so much better just not physically but emotionally. I started sept 16 2013 I weighed 173 now I'm at 158 with two weeks left. I love it, actually I'm prob going to do another round hang in there, eat clean and push play. It's worth it.
