2 more weeks of Insanity=Me at the exact same weight and FI is the incredble shrinking man.

Sunshine & Sprinkles, on September 1, 2012 at 9:40 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 13

Kind of feeling a little blah right now. The FI and I have been doing Insanity together. We have 2 more weeks left. He has a pretty nice outline of abs and dropped like two pants sizes(he's not even that big). He still eats a lot of crap. I've been counting calories and not cheating at all. I have only lost like 2 inches around my waist and no weight. Engagement pics are 10-7... here goes round two..grrr. Anyone else in the same boat

    TWO INCHES AROUND YOUR WAIST??? THAT'S AMAZING! You are gaining muscle, which is denser than fat, and thus you may not have lost weight, but that's why you lost inches! DO NOT look at the scale.

    Also, watch how many calories you cut back, because if you cut back too much your body will go into starvation mode, and store fat.

    Yeah i know. It just sucks when he's eating donuts, chips and cookies and the next morning he's lost five lbs.lol I'm eating the calories calculated by the program. Around 1500 or so. I might do my p90x after this since that one uses weights plus I'm getting sick of jumping everywhere.

    Men are so lucky! I'm trying to figure out the best way to stay in shape during all this wedding stuff. We used to rock climb but the only gym near us sucks. The workout world I joined last year was ok but I never got motivated to go alone (my "gym buddy" bailed on me almost immediately after i changed my plan to the more $$ friends for free) so I am about to cancel that membership and I just need a new plan.

    Remember that men typically lose weight easier than us. And I know how you feel. FH can eat a bag of chips after dinner (and he sometimes does) and he still has a size 30 waist!

    Me on the other hand, pays close attention, and takes forever to lose.

    Men have more muscle than women, so losing weight comes very easy for them. The fact that you have lost 2" from your waist is amazing!

    Don't let that discourage you. You may not be losing weight, but your body is responding in it's own way.

    Personally, the Insanity! workout was too much jumping for me.

    I hate the jumping. I have really high arches and have bought 3 pairs of workout shoes and it still doesn't help. I just like it because the workouts are shorter and you don't need any equipment.

    I know how you feel hon! FH and I are eating better and exercising and he has lost almost 15lbs and I have only lost 7! I can get very discouraging, but keep at it and don't lose hope!

    That's why I don't like it. After one session my arches felt as though they had collapsed.

    I've been seeing awesome results from the Insanity program!! I'm holding off as long as I can to buy my dress because I keep losing inches and weight. ( No complaints from me!) I did get discouraged at first when my fiance saw results much more quickly than me but if you just keep with it you'll have fantastic results as well! I signed up for the pre-order of the Insanity Asylum volume 2 (http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/insanity-the-asylum-volume-2-elite-training-workout.do) - set to come out this fall - to increase the intensity of my workouts. Hopefully I see even more results from that too. When I start to lose motivation I just think about how bad I want to have a rockin' body in my fabulous wedding dress!! Smiley smile Keep with it Tynisha!!

    Omg I totally feel you. First, DO NOT look at the scale. F the scale, you are obviously gaining muscle and if you are losing inches that's all that matters. My FH goes swimming and will come home with Wendy's and looks better after a week! I eat salads and dumb lean cuisines and do cardio like mad and it takes me about a month to lose a month so I totally feel your pain. Men just drop quicker...

    Ugh, that's so annoying. H once lost 5 pounds after 2 weeks of eating Cheetos in his lunch, rather than Doritos. That is seriously the only thing he changed. Love him but ugh.

    In other news, 2 inches around your waist is amazing! That's more than one entire dress size!

    Keep up the good work, you might just be retaining water or your muscles might be swollen from the workouts, that could contribute to the gain on the scale.

    Are you following the nutrition program as far as eating ENOUGH?
