My INSANITY before and afters!

in Success Stories
I followed the Insanity schedule for all 63 days and had no soda, no chicken or red meat (personal preference), and no fast food, etc.
If you have any questions, let me know. I'll probably be doing Turbo Fire and maybe a Chalene Extreme hybrid in the near future, so also let me know if you're interested in doing this with me! On another note, please restrain from any rude comments about wanting to lose a few more pounds (according to my ticker). Yes, I do. I need to lower my body fat percentage to have greater ab definition, and I'm also planning on joining my high school's (yes, high school) power-lifting team. I'm only a few pounds away from being in a lighter weight class. I do not starve myself, and even "skinny" people can improve! Please let my goals be MY own... and feel free to add me for motivation and helpful criticism to keep each other on track!(:
Now for the good stuff.

Refer to this post for my 'before' pictures;

    I'm 5'3" as well and my goal is to be 105lbs as well.

    Just wanted to say kudos to your determination to complete your goals but i think you looked incredible after the 30 day shred. now i'm not sure where you've got the body fat to lose from when i look at the newest pics.

    Thank you. I have a pretty bad lower belly.. it isn't firm at all. These pictures are slightly deceiving, and I am also flexing like crazy. Good luck with your goals.(:

    oh my, you can def. see a difference. you are soo thin now! Great work with sticking to it! I know it is really hard to stay on plan all the time! I don't see a problem with being thin as long as its the healthy way... :)) I HATE it when people say " oh your too skinny, you need to stop losing weight, are you starving yourself.. etc. I am NOT even "skinny" i look normal and can use some definition in my mid-section. I am currently doing 30DS. I have 11 days left of it, then i will start on 6wk6pk! best of luck to you in losing your final lbs!

    Ahh, thanks! It's the worst in the beginning of both months, and by the end you might feel a little unmotivated (if you're like me)... but you have to push through. Doesn't matter how well you do if you give it all you've got! Good luck.(:

    Great job! Very proud that you have stuck with the program :)

    Obviously you weren't big at all in your befores but from my point of view I would say it is harder at times for smaller girls to stay motivated towards a healthier lifestyle...you don't see as big of results, you can slack off and still be considered "small", etc. And for that I really admire your dedication to working out!

    This means sooo much to me because you were seriously my motivation to start the program in the first place. I saw your results and wanted them! haha it's so much harder doing this while not being overweight.. some people do not understand that you can have insecurities at any size, and just because you don't see them, doesn't mean someone shouldn't work to fix it. Thank you so much for understanding and being one of MY inspirations..!(:

    this is exactly how i feel! and this is why im doing insanity bc i feel like i need to work on toning my stomach. im happy with how far ive come and that ive reached my goal weight but i still have things i feel i need to work on. so it is upsetting when people act rude and say mean things. im not trying to lose any weight but i am trying to tone my body more. i hate when people say you dont need to workout anymore. if i didnt workout i would be in the shape im in right now

    you look like you're naturally small and 105 at 5'3" isn't underweight, so i see no reason why anyone would mention anything negative about your goal. you look GREAT. i am a weensy bit jealous of how fabulous and defined your back/waist is (umm because those are my problem areas, haha). congratulations, and you look wonderful.
