Insanity - Success?? - Negative comments

Hi All, this is my first time on here.

I am currently in the process of completing Insanity. I am just starting week 8 today and I won't lie to you, it's been a challenge.

(brief personal overview)

The first fitness test more or less killed me, to the point of going pale, cold sweats and shaking like a Sh***ing dog for 20 minutes after. I worried then that it might not be for me but once I got through the first week I was buzzing. I felt better, healthier and the food wasn't as bad as I thought. The only problem was ensuring I ate the correct amount of Calories per day as my job doesn't really allow me 3 breaks in a day but I managed to overcome this pretty quickly thanks to protein shakes.

Fast forward to recovery week and I was more than happy with the progress I had made, and more satisfied that I would be able to achieve the goal of completing Insanity.

Then the second month began, WOW how much Sean T lulled me into a false sense of security. Just as I was accepting (and mastering) the first month, he continues to push me harder and man was it hard! That first week on month 2 is a killer, but I stuck through it and now only 2 weeks to go.

It was the end of last week where I hit my low point, but this was nothing to do with the Nutrition plan, the pain-staking exercises, or even working insanity around my everyday life - in reality all this was a relative breeze. My low point was caused by a people at work who think it okay to constantly have a dig and not let it rest that, in THEIR opinion, I have lost far too much weight, even to the point of being called 'ill' and 'Gaunt'.

At first I laughed these comments off, thinking it was just banter, but then a couple more people said it and it started niggling at me. Don't get me wrong, I have also had positive comments, and they're still great to get, but the negative ones still really leave a bitter taste. I am a naturally small framed person, and when I started Insanity I weighed just over 12.5 stone (174lbs), now with 2 weeks to go I have achieved my goal weight of 11.5 stone (160lbs), and am managing to maintain that. I am also more toned in the abs, thighs and my arms are even starting to look better. Not only that, but I am starting to feel better in myself, much more healthier, and no longer feeling sluggish/tired all the time!

I am personally happy with how I now look and my wife is more than happy (in fact she likes my body more now than ever, she's also on week 8 and had lost about a stone and is too looking fantastic!). Granted the majority of my clothes are now rather baggy as I intend buying a new wardrobe once the Insanity period ends (so all clothes fit perfect and won't become too big/small 3 weeks after buying them), but I am trying to put the comments down to purely jealousy and annoyance as most of the negative people are in need of losing a bit of weight themselves and have said they have tried everything but can't be bothered pushing themselves.... more fool them! (I would retaliate but i am too nice/professional to do that!)

Once my new body becomes 'the norm', they will accept it and move on to the next bit of mindless gossip I'm sure... but I just wondered whether anyone else has experienced this and how they tackle it?

Sorry for my long post, first time on here so wanted to get as much in. Cheers!
