Insanity

[Nikki Riviotta 33]

I am starting week 3 of Insanity tomorrow. I have weighed a couple of times in the last couple of weeks and have lost nothing despite staying in my calorie range and working my butt off during the exercises. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yep!! All I can say is once your plateau ends the weight will start coming off at a more rapid pace than before so hang in there!!!

btw I was also at around the 75lb mark when my weight loss came to a screeching halt!!!

What did you do to end the Plateau? I have about 25lbs to my target and I am getting so frustrated lol

Probably not what you want to hear-tummy tuck and breast reduction!!!!! lol No really, I lost the 7 pounds they took off during the surgery TNEN another 15 pounds pretty easily and still losing!!! I think when you're experiencing a plateau, something has to change like calories, diet and or exercise routine. If you are not already doing very low carb (30 grams per day), try that. Also try increasing your Protein intake. Good luck!

LOL okay. I am actually going in to see my plastic surgeon again about my Tummy Tuck, she says I have at least 10 pounds of skin she needs to remove from my abdomen....I did the breast reduction before I had my band placed. I may have to up the Protein. My calories are right at 1200 a day and my dietician doesnt want me to go below that...man this can be so stressful at times

Thank you for this topic! I'm at a plateau now, just over 30 lbs from goal, and am getting super frustrated.

When I did Insanity (I did the whole 8 weeks), I didn't lose hardly anything at all. I was pairing it with a low calorie diet and nothing. BUT, I did get to feeling pretty fit. My legs were taking shape and muscles were being worked that I hadn't used in years. I felt incredible. I toned what I had, which made the not-losing part okay.

Your body is probably just confused right now. I'm going to take my own advice, and just ride it out. Eventually, things will start happening.

My cousin is having the same problem with Insanity... I think it's making her insane.
