Thanks. Really, I'm not focusing on the scales (I haven't even had access to mine in the last several weeks, though there will HAVE to be scale weight loss in order for me to get to the fitness level I need - there is just too much fat involved). I am more worried about inches. HOWEVER, as I stated in my other post, I'm not real accurate with measuring inches (at least on my belly), mostly because of subconscious variations in how tight I keep my abs at all times.

That said, I am focusing more on the mirror and my clothes. Still, there needs to be a significant FAT LOSS involved, and I'm not seeing much at this point. What I do from next week until the event needs to be something that is going to get the fat off, the inches down.

The soreness and stiffness varies, but Insanity is definitely harder on my body that many other things. But it is also an intense workout and may be what is required to get results. I just don't want to let my muscles get too used to it so that it is not effective. I do take breaks and allow my body to recover, but I do still need to keep up with *effective* workouts.

Thank you! I feel a sense of completion, at least I took measurements today (though I should wait another day to allow muscle soreness water retention to release), and I've lost at least 2.5 inches from my belly, 2 from my natural waist, nearly one from hips and some from various other areas, so it *has* worked! I just don't want to lose that momentum, yet I can't continue to daily put my body through that degree of intensity.

I like the idea of other videos, but at the same time I haven't been to the gym in over a month (a wasted membership fee makes me cringe). I want to be able to workout somewhere other than at home, because I'm too distracted with all the 'what needs to be done' when I'm at home, and there isn't that much room. At the gym, I'm in a mindset that is easier to keep. Classes are not done at the times/types I need, but I may try to sneak into one or two to try something different. I've even considered doing weights and some cardio at the gym, then come home and do an abbreviated month two workout.

I'd like to get back to doing some yoga. Do to changes at the gym, my once a week yoga class was no longer being taught by the instructor I liked (the only one I liked - she teaches totally different and has just the right amount of mix of strength, flexibility, balance and isometric, as well as calming/mind clearing). I may try to attend her out-of-gym class once every two-four weeks (fee-based) and do some at home now that I'm finished with Insanity. It was too much to add anything to the already 6-days-a-week program. What type of yoga do you do? I, too, want something that is fat burning
