Yeah, it's pretty funny.  He can be half asleep and, if I even say "Sean T.", he says "f**k that guy" automatically.  I guess the second month is pretty hard.

heee. and on a side note, Sean T has become a sort of invisible fixture our lives. like when I want to eat something but know it's bad, I'll say, "Sean T says no." we even got a new fish for our saltwater aquarium that we named after him! I think there's a slight resemblance in the mouth. ; )

Cute fish!  I shudder to think what would happen to a fish named Sean T in my house

Ok so I can't believe I'm doing this, but I thought maybe I'd put myself out there and try to motivate people for trying Insanity! I have before and after pics, but my after pics are only from the FIRST MONTH of Insanity. They are from a few weeks ago and I have since started Month 2!! Please ignore the sweat on the after pics. I took them after a workout.

I was discouraged because sometimes my weight would fluctuate and my measurements wouldn't always say what I wanted, but when I saw the before and after pics, I have gotten my "second wind" in motivation. Remember, I have ALWAYS had an issue losing weight. And this is from not following the diet plan, just watching what I eat (and still drinking wine lol). I have since stopped drinking and begun being very picky with eating;

You look awesome!  Good for you!!  I am going to go home tonight and start the second month

[kellygrrrl]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy june11bride! way to go - you look GREAT, and I feel the same way, too. I accomplished my goal in only month one. wondering what will happen next... ; )

June11bride-you look FABULOUS! Very motivating!!!

Great job june11bride!!  Can't wait to see your results after all 60 days.

 

 

Unfortunately I've had to stop (doctor's orders).  I did just under 2 weeks and I felt amazing just after that.  Before I stopped I did the fit test once more and just in 1.5 weeks I had an improvement in all my numbers.  I hope I'm allowed to start it up again in June.  I really do miss it and I'm so anxious to do the full 60 days next time. 

 

...but I'm still stalking this thread to see how everyone else is doing.

Aww thanks guys. I keep thinking, why the heck did I post pictures?? But I know why-- I am ALWAYS looking for inspiration through picture evidence so I thought I'd share mine.

I had seriously become quite unmotivated when it seemed like I wasn't losing much because the measurements weren't showing. I look at the pics now though and realize my method of measuring was probably at fault-- I measured the smallest part of my waist which changed but everythign around it changed so much and I didnt take that into account. And I gained lots of muscle which discouraged me with the scale as well. However now that I can see a before and "after" pic (I say that because I'm still workng away at month 2) I can see that change happens that cannot necessarily be measured the way I measure. I only have 3 weeks until my wedding but I'm positive I can expand my results to become even more happy with my progress!!

 

I just hope you all have the same motivation and stick with it because I have never seen results like this from myself. I challenge all of you to show pictures eventually as well because it is the best motivation I have ever had. I would definitely suggest to do a before and after shot.
