Yeah I right there with you Amanda. I just finished my second week and didn't have good results at all either. I'm pretty discouraged. I use a HR monitor, I also use myfitpal for calorie tracking. I thought I was having a good week. I don't know. Going to just have to push on. My friend that is working out with me is in the same boat. Week 2 no weight loss and discouraged. IDK what the answer is honestly. I'm just going to still commit everyday and eat right and hope that it all pays off.

And don't forget Shaun T says to push yourself a little more every time you do the workout, it should never be easy.

Remember the scale is weighing everything. Fat, muscle, bone, fluid and tissue. It is not weighing just the fat. After one week your body is still adjusting to the workouts and any changes you are making to your nutrition plan. After a week you may have burned some fat, probably have not added any significant muscle yet, but your fluid levels have probably been changing. Your fat, muscle and fluid retention are all going to change independently of each other throughout the program. You may lose more weight on the scale one week than another, but a better indicator of progress is the tape measure and the mirror. If you are losing inches, or just find your clothes fitting better then you know you are losing fat. If you do start gaining some lean muscle, because it is more dense than fat, the same pound of muscle is going to take up less space than a pound of fat. So there may be a week where you lose a pound on the scale and lose a bunch of inches off your body.

I remember reading a post on Chalene Johnson's blog where she said something like don't really pay attention to the scale for about 3 weeks into a new workout because your body will still be adjusting to it. Then if you are not losing inches AND are not seeing any change on the scale you should make changes to your diet.

Thank you so much for your advice. I know it's only been a week but I just figure with all the cardio and working out 6 days this week would of brought me better results. I have lost 20lbs on my own before insanity and never did as much cardio and it seem to work. I do understand that this is a new program and maybe it is just a matter of time getting adjusted. I love the part that u said to wait for 3 weeks after starting something new to see change. I am not giving up no matter what or how long it take but I am so thankful for your advice and time! Thank you take care!

All I can say is stick to it. Just like you, before I started Insanity, I lost 15 pounds by eating better. I am about to start month 2 tomorrow and I have lost only 11 pounds. Its not a lot if you think about how much I have been pounding my body, but I have lost more than 8 inches over all. 4 in just my chest. I decided as of today, Im not going to weigh my self for the next two weeks just to keep my mind off it.

Good luck, keep pushing play
