(Women) Insanity Results

Hello all! I'm new to the online support system but I figured I'd try it. My name is Chichi. I am doing insanity again and hopefully I'll stick with it. I've tried several times before but kept quitting. Last summer I did the entire first month. I didn't lose weight or many inches but I did feel stronger. Once my friend stopped doing it with me I got lazy. Since shes still wishy washy on trying, I decided to try the online support instead It's really great to see what you guys have done. I'm barely under 5'2 and i weigh a little under 160. I have quite a bit of muscle from sports but I still need to lose about 30 lbs. Theres still a lot of fat I would like to burn. Anywho, I hope I can become a success story. I eat well although not nearly enough. I'm working on eating more throughout the day. Ok, this has gotten long haha! Thanks in advance for kind words and motivation!

you're amazing girl!!!

today is my 2nd day...I hope the same results!!!

Bump! Just finished focus t25 few weeks ago moving on to insanity from tomorrow. You guys r quite inspiring.

Woah awesome results! Filing this under inspiration haha

Completed it earlier this year. Here are my notes from immediately after.

Physically I feel so much fitter. The moves I found the most difficult in the Fit Test - Power Jumps and Push Ups - I managed to DOUBLE how many I could do in a minute by the end of the 60 days.

Visually, I have definition in my midsection for the first time in my life and much better muscle tone in my limbs. I have had various comments about looking like I have lost weight and my pants have gotten loose.

What I would have done differently - paid more attention to the nutrition side of things and kept within the calorie goal of 1600p/day.

These 60 days highlighted my 'reward' mentality with food - that I would justify overeating because I had done a difficult workout or could 'burn it off' the next day.

I averaged 1941 calories and 87.5 grames of carbs a day over this 60 day period.



Original Fit Test result: 404 - had to stop the DVD 3 times for a retch/lie on the floor break

Final Fit Test result: 574 - NO stopping for retch breaks!

Improvement of 170 moves in under a minute each.



Measurements:

Weight: Down 1.3kg

Body Fat: Down 0.8%

Bust: Down 2cm

Waist: Down 4cm

Hips: Down 2cm

Bellybutton: Down 5cm

So 13cm off altogether.



Was it worth it?

Yes - it taught me a lot about how I approach exercise, that I can 'dig deeper' and push far harder than I had been and am very physically capable and driven when I want to be.

I have muscle definition in my midsection for the first time ever!

I like Shaun T's style and am now prepped to start the Focus T25 workouts tomorrow as I prefer a shorter work out.

Would I do it again?

Maybe next year. That second month was very, very difficult. Physically and mentally.

I am on recovery week now and so far I am down 8 pounds and 8 inches. I don't know how to post pics or I would post my before pics and pics at end of 30 days (yesterday).

I did insanity and lost 14lbs but the most exciting part was losing 25.5 inches all over. 7 of those inches were off my waist!! I'm on my phone and don't know how to add pics but I would be more than happy to show my results to help if someone would like to share how to post pics :-)

Im thinking of starting Insanity as someoe has offered to lend me the set of dvds. Can anyone tell me if you do other exercise whilst doing insanity - example cardio like running or swimming, or is it sufficient just to do the dvds? Thanks
