Rsclause, thank you! I'm back on it. I feel like I can't complain to people at home and work cox o really have done well and I'm getting het up about something small but I knew people her would get it. Tracking again. I just Sad I took a step back. Thank you!

Start: (168-175ish) and after Insanity and Hip Hop Abs: at about 150lb. Ive not really dieted, just tracked. Weighed myself the other day and was 145 but not sure if that's consistent yet (and no pics!) I'm 5 foot 7.5 inches, pear-shaped.

Thanks everyone! I'm beginning to look like what I did when I was 21 (which was one of my aims!) but still a while to go. I'm a classic pear (though some quiz thing I did online said I didn't fit with any conventional body types but at 36-27-40 I think I'm a pretty convincing pear!) and just want to get my legs trim and…

Thankyou! :D The kids at school were incredulous! They didn't recognize me lol esp as I usually wear specs and had my contacts in and boy-short hair. The most liberating thing I have done. I feel 10x as sexy with short hair. Thanks! :)

Thanks silliegoosie! :) I got it cut off after our honeymoon, 17inches off and donated to a childrens cancer charity for wigs! (that was probably a few lbs in it's self!) Having a pixie is THE BEST! I love it! I do still turn over in the night thinking I have over a foot of hair though!

I should point out that I don't follow the 5-meals a day thing (I'm a teacher and can't really find the time in the day --> excuses!) and am not really eating clean at all. Just counting my cals on here. The first photo I was about 12 stone (168 lb/76.2kg) and the second set (end of month 2 Insanity) about 11 stone 2 (156…

Congratulations! It's so hard lol! I enjoyed it but by the end was so tired. It's super good! I lost 15lb and 22 inches! :D I would totalyl recommend it! I'm currently doing Hip Hop Abs but end of next week I will start my HHA/Insanity hybrid! Woot! I am - get this- missing my insanity work outs lol! Keep goign and add me…

I lost 15lb and 22 inches with Insanity (it took me 2 weeks longer as I was very unwell with Flu - the real kind in bed for a week). I would recommend it! Totally! For me it is not sustainable as a lifestyle choice, but I do miss the workouts now I am doing hip hop abs. It is pretty good! I am doing a HHA/Insanity hybrid…

Can I ask are you a teacher or work in a school? Weird question but it's the same day I started, first day of term!!! Lol x I'm assuming for 10 (I was 9.5 at uni) but think that's an impossibility. My husband is trying to put weight on to be 10.5 so if like to be less than him... For the whole time I've known him... 13 yrs

When I decided I needed to change things around I was walking home speaking to my mum on the phone. She said 'Yeah you have got really fat, your legs are huge' and a day later walking home again and talking to my gran (this one hurt the most because my mum has never been too nice about my weight or the way my legs…

I've not been to a doc about mine but it started just as soon as I decided to start loosing weight and started being more active. I did insanity in my trainers (cheap crappy ones) and a few days later kaboom. Agony. I stopped wearing the trainers for my workout as I figured that had started it and just stretched it out and…

This guy at work who said 'you're not doing insanity are you? It's too hard for you' etc. etc. in Jan said to me the other day 'omg how much have you lost if you don't mind me asking?' (I don't!) me: '15lb' him: 'wow that's too much. You're too thin, you need to stop'. He says it with such controlling authority it does my…

I'm 5 foot 7 and a half. My lowest (at end of uni) was 133, my highest (at start of this year) was 168 (omg that's the first time I have worked about the difference between my highest and lowest weight 35 lb! I must have been in more denial than I originally thought!). I am currently at 153 and aiming for 140 (my original…

Yeah! It's normal (and not just at the beginning! lol). I was like that even on the last day of month two! You just keep pushing so it doesn't get to the point (well not for me at least) where I can just do it all easy or without stopping, you just can do more and push more and still knack yourself out by the end. Re…

I lost a total of 20 or so inches and 15lb. I would like to be able to do it forever lol but it's just not sustainable for me. By the middle of the last week I was a zombie, took a few days off and now doing Hip Hop Abs (and it feels so easy by comparison cardio wise but I feel it's doing its job). I would recommend it,…

I noticed that you are 5 foot 6 and 8 stone 10. That is quite small to start with, maybe it is because you are not big - it is takign a while to come off.

That's what Insanity does to you. Renders you unable to do simple maths. 'This maths is bananas, yall!' 12 stone (168lb or 76.2kg) to 10 stone 13 pounds (153 lb or 69.4 kg). The pictures only show one pound as I didnt take at the start of the 'journey' and instead show fro mend month 1 to end month 2. In total I lost 2…

Starting weight 12 stone, end month one 11 stone, end month two 10 stone 13, 15lb or one stone one lb lost. Ive obviously mistyped the lbs. Sorry.

I've finished the programme, but I think I have not been eating enough. It's been suggest here a few times but I think I can team for myself now. I have eaten all my calls back the last two days and I'm feeling much better now. Also a massive horrible tension at work has been resolved by way of an argument yesterday and…

The latter, for sure. OK. Thanks! I think I have been overdoing it with exercise and underdoing it with food too so will have a changearound. Thanks!

A guy at work (who previously told me Insanity was 'too hard for someone like you') told me yesterday 'you're looking fab!' (good part) 'if you don't mind me asking, how much have you lost?' (me '1 stone') 'Oh God. You don't need to loose any more, youre looking so thin' (so fab or too thin?). I said 'Well I'm still a size…

I did! I got brilliant results in the first month :) Not so great the second month but I am not sure if that is coz I lost so much to start with. I lost 14lb in the first month and a LOT of inches (about 13 I think). Since then I have only lost a pound in 3 weeks and an inch or a half on most parts. Most people get the…

I started Insanity, did 3 weeks and got really poorly with flu (not just a cold but stay in bed 5 days, barely moving apart from crying with the horribleness of it) and was still not well enough to go to school and then come home and do a workout so I had two weeks off (and the thur and fri workouts on the week before I…

My gran wraps up her leftovers in a hanky or a serviette. She always has, it's cute. We take it home for the cat or for later. It always used to be for me, though! :p lol. I think there is less portion hugeness here in the UK but it is becoming more common, and I have even spotted a few food challenge things over here,…

Did the binge reach such epic proportions that 1) you vommed quite a bit or 2) you actually did this a month ago and have memory loss due to alcohol abuse? :p Seriously though - red wine hangover, not nice! Red wine drunk = very nice!

Thanks guys, was feeling really miserable after a tough day at work, you've made me smile. Watch here for end of inanity next week!

I walk 2 miles to work and 2 miles back. The internet says this is approximately 8000, and I walk quite a bit at school (being a teacher). I'm not quite there but could do with a bit more work and on other days I will do it x

Oh god, I'm awful to myself. I sometimes just swear, loudly (I do Insanity at home) but mainly it's 'do it your fat cow' or similar. I know it sound harsh but it's always worked for me with other things like school or house work etc. Sometimes I tell Shaun T to shut up or get sarky with him 'It IS burning, man' or 'you…

Yes! It gets me to almost panic attack level, makes my insides crawl my scalp sweat and drives me to the point of tears. Its eating sound, mouth sounds (about sniffing down throat, slurping, cutlery on teeth etc.) As well as repetitive mechanical noises like typing (most panic inducing for me) ticking of clocks, beeping…

lol, thanks! :) That's all I needed. As I say I have NO idea about stuff like this. I was the nerd at school, was pitiful at PE lol. I've never been good at exercise or dietary knowledge etc.etc. so I just need telling! :) Thanks!
