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

Bump

Hi, ladies!

I'm preparing myself for starting insanity tomorrow by reading all of your inspirational posts. I'm 4'11" and weigh 135. I just want to lose a few pounds and slim down. My problem areas are my hips and thighs. I would love to join a group or something to help keep me motivated. I'm starting this with my best friend. I'll keep you all posted!

I started insanity last week and lost 2 inches in the first week however im starting again this week because i screwed the diet up.. the nutrition guide says i should be eating 2000 cals it seems too much? Im.5' 4 and weigh 148lbs (target weight 125lb) help???

Why would you want to start over if you have already lost 2 inches in the first week?? That is great. I would not start over. I would just continue week 2 forward with the proper diet. 2000 calories sounds about right. If you feel that is too high, multiply your BMR by 1.5 instead of 1.7. Start there and then if you do not see any change within 2 weeks than lower your calories. I am currently on my second week of Insanity and should be eating 2080 calories. I am 5'3 and 163.5 lbs. Follow the guide and if that does not work adjust as needed.

I started Insanity today with Day 1 fitness test. I did horribly at it, however I did as much as I could as best I could and I am fair pleased with myself. I assume day 2 is not going to be as easy but that is why I am doing this. If anyone would like to add me as a friend for support, feel free. Good Luck to all those of are starting this program.

I'm on my recovery week now

Result wise,well my scale hasn't budge at all in 4 weeks.
Sadly I didnt measure myself before started but I know i lose inches - my clothes are a lot bigger.
I'm a lot stronger and my body look a lot better just wish the scale move a bit !!
I do need lose about 25 pounds not like I'm already skinny or anything
But I will stick to it till the end see what happen.

oh, btw, i forgot to say, i puked 3 times in the first warmup!!

I started Insanity 4/28/14 too----mind if I add you as a friend to keep each other motivated?

I am on day 15 of Insanity. I started at 218, and I have already lost 6 pounds. I also did my measurements today, and I am down 12.5 inches in 15 days!!! I love this workout so much!

I'm on week 7 and love this workout! I've lost 18 pounds (I have 22 more to get to my goal) and have gone from a size 12/14 pants to 6/8 and I still have more weeks to go for my first round.

Congratulations on the weight loss! How many calories were you eating a day may I ask and did you follow the diet?

I've been logging calories burned with a HRM, and eating back most of my workout calories. I have MFP set for 2lbs a week loss, so I've been averaging about 1700 calories a day, which is about what the insanity booklet said.

I haven't been following the meal plans so much, but we eat almost the same things (mostly). There are some great looking meals in the book, though!

I can honestly say that this workout was the BEST thing I have ever done! I did two rounds and it's awesome! I lost so many inches and Pounds!
Some advise.......only do it if you are 100% in it! It's hard....but it gets easier as you go! Stick with it and I am confident you will love the results!
Good luck!

Hi ladies,

I'm starting Insanity in two weeks with my fiancé. I just wanted to know whether to use diet whey or just go for the full on 100% whey?
Gone through some of the posts and results are fab so well done I'm 133lbs and 5'3 currently. Anyone else who has done it around the same weight and height, how much have you lost? Hope it works!

Also any meal ideas/recipes welcome!!

I currently workout at the gym anywhere between 4 and 6 days a week. Activities include running, interval running, eliptical, stairs, squats, burpees, and a circuit of strength training machines (NO, I do not do ALL of these in one session--I only have an hour, so it's some kind of combination of 2 or 3 of these activities). I typically burn about 400 calories in a session. I've seen steady results, as shown by MFP, but I am a little unsteady-I have a week where I drop 2 pounds, the next week where there's no change, the next I'm up a pound, etc. Should I give Insanity a shot and see if it helps me get off this roller coaster? Should I maybe do a few days of Insanity and a few at the gym? I'm definitely a little heavy on the cardio and not so good at strength training. Would Insanity help? Thanks!

Try using a foam roller, you can get one at a Sports Authority, etc. I purchased one less than a week ago after reading about them. You can find videos online for how to use one. I roll on it before and after the workout and I now have no soreness, compared to being terribly sore and achey, before. It is an incredibly effective solution. I cannot urge you enough to go out and get one!

that's exactly what I did. Today I'm not as sore as I was so that's good! Tomorrow is day 5!
