Ok I have just started my 2nd month of insanity. I'm really starting to get frustrated, not with the program itself but with my lack of weight loss. I have A LOT of weight to lose, at least 50 pounds, and the scale is not budging despite all my efforts with eating well and bringing it with insanity. So help me out please, because I see no difference. Can you tell day 0 from day 30? (and please bear with me, its my first time posting photos)

I don't see pics. How are your measurements? Are you losing any weight at all each week?0

Edited because now I can see your pics. Are you kidding me Girl???? You can totally see that your belly and waist are smaller. In fact, your entire middle is smaller. Take your measurements...that will help you see the progress I can totally see in your pics!

I can see the difference around your belly button. Your sweat pants are rolled a bit more in the first picture too, more flat in the 2nd. Good job!0

I actually DO see a little bit of a difference :-) Your middle looks a little thinner in the bottom picture. Keep at it! Take your measurements. Sometimes the scale doesn't show any difference but measurements will. Don't give up!0

I TOTALLY see a difference!!! Keep up the great work!0

i'm on day 2 of insanity and i have to lose 50lbs...yes you see a difference...definitely in the stomach area...your "love handles" have gotten WAY smaller...it's just that you're biased...you see that body every day! trust me there is a very noticable difference. good job, keep up the insanity and you'll lose even more...0

There's definitely a difference. Day 0 shows more of a bulge on the sides. Day 30 shows less of that. Are your jeans feeling loose at all? How are your measurements?0
-
There is a noticeable difference. It looks like you did lose inches around your waist. Great Job!0
-
Awesome job! You can really see a difference, Im thinking I need to get Insanisty DVDs!0
-
Yup, I can totally see a difference. You are doing wonderful. Keep it up!0
-
You can really see a difference. Even though the numbers on your scale aren't changing how do your clothes fit? Have you been taking messurements?0
-
Yeah I have lost inches! I will find them and post the exacts! My clothes are fitting a little better but not as great as I expected. Thank you for all the kind words.
Ok and the significant measurements are:
1 inch off natural waist
2 inches off from belly button area
2 inches off hips
1.5 inches off thighs0 -
that is significant...2 inches is a huge accomplishment! congrats, I can't wait until I can say that0
-
Congratulations!!! You are the incredible shrinking woman!
Youre doing a great job of weight loss. Maybe if youre not seeing it at the scales is because you are building muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat does 0 -
Contrats! You look good...and you can defnitely see a difference!0
-
HECK YES I see a difference!! You're doing great! don NOT get discouraged, there is a definate change! Great job!!! :drinker:0

There is definitely a difference! Keep up the great work!0

Keep at it. You may not get a massive weight loss, but the inches will be dramatic. Way to go.0

I guess you don't see a difference because you are just looking at you...and we are our own worst critics.
The differences are totally evident and I wish you could see what we see.
Who cares about the scale??? You are obviously changing your body composition, and as long as you are doing that, that's what matters. Especially at first, cause with all the strength + cardio moves in Insanity, you are building up lean muscle which weighs a lot compared to the same amount of fat.
Keep up the great work!0 -
DIFFERENCE!!! FOR SURE!0

Awesome difference~! Keep it up!0

I totally agree with what she says here. We are our own worst critic. With that said it is also normal for people to not lose weight during the first month. I'm a guy and guys usually lose faster then women. I didn't drop a pound until Phase 2. Then I dropped 13 lbs. in a month. You can do it, don't look at the number on the scale. Judge by your measurements, and how your clothes fit.
You didn't put the weight on over night, it's not coming to come off that way either.
Oh and you totally can see the difference in your pics...0 -
DEFINITELY can see a difference! Congrats on what you have already accomplished. I have completed 2 rounds of Insanity and found I lost most of my weight in the second month of the workouts. However, measurements are so much more important than what the scale says and the pictures will prove that as well. Keep taking the pictures and you will see the difference!0
-
Thank you everyone for your kind words. I'm hoping by day 63 I will be able to see a difference in myself. I really love insanity, and plan to do a second round or try out P90X. I try not to focus on the scale, but the number glaring back at me is just so much larger than it used to be and I'm not going to lie, it gets depressing when it doesn't budge. But thank you again! I will update in another month with new pics!0

I can totally see the difference on the shape of your abs. I am on the week 3 of insanity, haven't dropped a pound yet. I am with you on the frustration part. I read that people start lossing weight on the second month. My friend dropped 13 lbs in 60 days. So keep going, we will get there.
By the way, I am not doing the diet. I heard people who are on the diet see result way quicker.0 -
I see a difference. Don't give up! :happy:0
-
DEFINITELY see a difference! You don't see a difference because you see yourself multiple times a day! Be honest, home many times do you look in the mirror trying to see a difference? I do ALL the time. Pictures are the best proof.0
-
Uhm YES! Definitely difference! You should be proud of yourself!0
-
You can definitely see a difference!0
