Hahaha fair enough I will heed your warning xD Ok I was curious about this too because everyone says the exact same verbatim about Insanity, and of course I need to hear it 6000 times before I believe it. I will take your word for it :)

You know whats weird? I did worse on some of them too! Either my counting was off or I was just TIRED. Its ok though because Im sure during the next fit test you do it will be stellar.

Yep definitely. This is what I have researched also! A lot of people seem to have this problem. Well I guess its not a problem at all..since inches are lost. Alrighty, then I will do as all of you suggested and keep going and just hope I see some good inches lost and continued imporvement!

Thanks! Yeah I read this article she wrote, but she said that should dissipate within 2 weeks, however, you are right with the Insanity thing. Seems to be a common concern among Insanity users. They all say week 4 and / or the second month is when they see the scale change. Thank you for confirming that its not just me…

Thank you guys very much. What annoys me is literally JUST yesterday I read that in order to say "oh I gained weight from muscle" or "its muscle" you need to be doing a LOT of weight lifting at high weights? I just dont see how the muscle retention negates the effect of body fat loss which should say at least a pound or…

Thank you very much also :) I will try and not get discouraged. I just am totally surprised. REALLY thought Id see at least 3 pounds down haha!

Thank you so much :) I really appreciate it.

I guess I should! Im sorry I just did that whole "the scale says I didnt lose weight" thing! I know I know. Kinda crappy of me. These are my Day 1-20 of Insanity results: I mean...there is a difference. Just absolutely mind numbing to me that the scale says the same weight.

Yeah I suppose you are right in that aspect :)

Man I wish I could tell you I was tall but Im not Im super short. Well, pretty short. 5'5". I started at 164 I think and would like to get to 130-140. So its REALLY muscle?? I have such a hard time believing that! I hope you are right! You look great btw in your picture!

I actually dont know how much weight I lost scale wise (I believe it was only a couple pounds or less) but I do know i did go from a 32 to a good 30 inch waist. I also noticed my arms were also smaller :)

Feel free to add me and my two friends (Camjammy, and skuld666). Were all in our 20s and will add anyone supportive :)

Oh its ok, Im totally not either. As I said, Im not super into it, but I think changing up my routine from time to time was pretty cool!

I do both a day. Each video is bordering around 30-35 minutes, so I average about 60-75 minutes a day. Some days when Insanity has a rest day, Ill do Body Rev, or Ill just do Insanity, or I wont do either and will do a run instead, but I do try and fit an hour max every day if I can.

Absolutely. Actually most people who do these usually lose inches, then the pounds. I havent weighed myself yet so Im not sure what my loss is on the scale.

I saw this a while ago it was a great watch! Highly recommend it.

OP do you have any response to all of this?

Well, I dont know your boyfriend, so Im not going to jump the gun and say he sucks, break up with him, etc. He might be really great to you otherwise. How are we supposed to know? From my experience, when people tell you that you cant do something, its because they have either : One) Too often seen you fail Two) Dont…

Aw thank you aJohn! You are a good friend and have been supporting me a lot! <3

Thanks guys :) I cant wait till the second month, only 10 more days! Looks frightening (the other Insanity videos, that is).

Oh yeah, that IS a piece of TAPE on my upper lip that my boyfriend thought would be funny to add. Its supposedly a little mustache. Its silly. LOL

Lucky! I lose my arm fat last. No matter what I do to them. Eh...its my trouble spot haha

I dont know if this will help you, but it has really helped me: http://luckytastebuds.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/oxidizer-test-from-jillian-michaels/ You should find out what your body is oxidizing faster. Carbs or protein, or if you are balanced. I found out I was a fast protein oxidizer, which in turn, I make all of my…

I have a Bodymedia Fit armband, and it says I have not yet broken through 350 cals doing Insanity. Ive heard the second month Insanity videos burn more, but I wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt a lot more than 350, or 300.

I also agree I dont think 1300 a day for someone who is 190 lbs is unhealthy. Honestly, I think that is the absolute lowest you should go, but I dont think its going to harm you. From my own experience, and right now, I started at 1200! I was 160 lbs, 5' 4" and about a 32 in waist. Now Im still only 158 ish but my waist is…

^^ Totally agree. 5.5 inches is what Ive lost in like 2 months of working out like crazy. That is amazing progress.

My approach is actually slightly different, and this is my personal preference, as my body seems to work best this way. I actually do 4 days a week of about 20-30 minutes of weight lifting. I started at 2 lb cans (haha) and in less than 2 months Im about to buy 10 lb dumb bells. Point being: when I have plateaued, I…

Im actually doing RI30 and started on level 2, and am doing about 9-10 days of each level, currently Im on day 8 of level 3. Im also doing it with INSANITY workout.

I did :) I Loved it, got great results :) I have videos of my progress if youre interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hert1ALYsVI&feature=plcp Before and after pics are at the end of the video if you dont wanna hear me ramble haha

Makes sense to me!
