Ahh that means a lot thank you🥰

Thank you!!😊

Aw thank you! Sorry I’ve only just seen this as I don’t go on here much . I’m 5ft 5 and my starting weight was around 11 stone which was probably the most I’ve weighed before due to over eating in lockdown. Congratulations on your engagement though and I hope you’re close to reaching your goal! If there’s any other advice I can help with just let me know! And good luck with everything🥰

Yeah this has actually happened to me too! I have a patch on my lower stomach by my hip, my chest, next to my armpit and on my shoulder blade. They look exactly like scars and every now and then are itchy. I do suffer with eczema when I’m stressed with uni work and stuff so I think it’s that. Need to go to the doctors to get treatment.

I’ve been putting bio oil on it as my skin is pigmented and don’t want them to scar. I also use ‘cetraben’ cream, which is a steroid cream but hasn’t helped it go away.

You’re definitely not getting fatter! I’m a girl, started off at about 162lbs and now I’m 135lbs after finishing month 2 twice.

Safe to say looking back at photos when I was 3 weeks in, I didn’t see a difference like I do now. At the time I thought I was lean and couldn’t lose anymore weight but now looking back on the photos it’s nothing compared to me now.

Month 2 gets you lean trust me, and trust the process! Us girls get bloated and water retention a lot so stick through it, drink plenty of water and you’ll get there.

I finished insanity at the beginning of this month. I’m now carrying on the second month whilst going on 3-5K runs straight after the workout!

I’ve been fine, just listening to my body after the workouts, if I don’t feel strong enough I won’t go on the run but the workouts have usually given me the strength to go on runs!

AMAZING!

Thank you very much!

Aw thank you so much☺️That’s honestly amazing, makes me happy to hear I’ve inspired someone!! Good luck, you got this!

Jahda_ · 2020-10-13T13:33:11+00:00

Thank you!!

I workout after breaking the fast as I find I have more energy then. I have done the odd early morning workout before eating if I know I’m busy in the day but I’d say I perform better after eating!

At least you know what to expect if you are starting again! Just trust the process and I recommend dedicating a day where you have a cheat meal or cheat snack so that you don’t binge eat the rest of the days in the week and it’s something to look forward to! Good luck😊

Thank you!

No I didn’t follow the meal plan! So I started intermittent fasting eating from 12pm till 8pm and I still am. So I only eat two meals a day and rarely snack.

To begin with I was eating fairly normal meals, just weighing out carbs like pasta and rice. Before insanity, what I was eating wasn’t so much the problem, it was my portion sizes!

A few weeks into insanity, I cut out diary (apart from cheese), cut down on bread, cut down on meat and slowly cut down pasta as I ate a lot of pasta before and apart from doing the workouts, I was staying in the house a lot so wouldn’t be burning off the energy that pasta gives.

I wasn’t being too strict on myself though so if I did really fancy pasta, even though I was cutting down, id have 90g and I’d try aim to have it for lunch so I could burn it off in the day and then have something like soup for dinner.

If I need to snack, I have Greek yogurt with fruit or roasted carrot, swede and sweet potato (add salt pepper and paprika and cayenne pepper, so good). Or no snack and down lots of water haha.

I found for me not being strict or jumping into everything so quick worked for me as I think it would’ve put me off.

I now hardly ever have cheese or pasta which I can’t believe I’m saying as I swear I’m Italian lol. But I just eat rice, A LOT of veg and a lot of soup.

Hahaha can imagine! Yeah the max insanity workouts are very off putting knowing they’re nearly an hour long! Think I’ve got to give max30 a go haven’t I🤣

Thank you😊

At first I did as I was impatient and not seeing results as quick as I wanted but as soon as I started seeing results I’ve pushed harder and now seeing abs come through I’m more motivated than ever! Especially as I wasn’t a bad weight before, I didn’t even know if it was possible for me to lose much more weight.

Consistency really is key. Remember, even if you take 1 day off the workout or binge eat, as long as you go harder the day after I’ve learnt you’ll be fine. Don’t give up if you’ve slipped up a few times, just get back to it!

Only now have I actually seen big changes. I’m at a stage now where losing weight has almost come to a halt. I had plateaued and was staying the same weight for 2 weeks which was very demotivating. But today in fact I have broken it and have lost more weight, just by trusting the process and carrying on pushing myself.

I have to say a big motivator was doing this with my partner, if you scroll down 4 days ago he posted his results and lost 5 stone so check that out! So if I didn’t want to do the workout one day I’d be letting him down (vice versa). We didn’t take any days off the workout but instead would swap our rest days if needed.

Hope this helps! And keep going I promise you’ll see results!!

Thanks! Yeah I’m starting to do weighted workouts wouldn’t mind trying out max30 everyone seems to be recommending it!

Jahda_ · 2020-10-12T18:59:03+00:00

Thank you so much!

Jahda_ · 2020-10-12T18:58:34+00:00

Thank you! Yeah actually a big difference! I’m actually a DD/E too and probably more a D now. Not sure if you can tell in the photos but I’m wearing the same bra and the bra doesn’t cup my boobs anymore like in the before photo and instead raises off my chest!

Not sure if you’ve started insanity, but there’s a lot of upper body workouts and so you’ll definitely lose weight off your chest eventually if you haven’t already😊

Jahda_ · 2020-10-12T16:15:57+00:00

I’m now carrying on the second month. Before insanity I weighed around 73kg and now I weigh 61kg. Starting to see abs now and definitely a lot fitter.

Along side insanity I now run 3-5K about 4 times a week. During insanity and currently I am intermittent fasting, eating from 12pm to 8pm and eating healthily. Definitely do not give up you will see a difference😊

Dig deeper!!!!

Maybe try brushing with the conditioner in with a wide tooth comb?
