So, I've plateaued...Need to work harder to get the last 10 lbs!

Armpit Fat???

Diet is key....

After months of hard working out, the abs were nowhere in sight. The reason being that I wasn't getting enough calories and I went into survival mode. The fat was stored around my midsection and arms.

**Note to self: Get at least 1800 calories a day when on Insanity program.

Here is a picture of the closest I got to my ideal body (no abs!!):

After some slowing down of the Insanity, increasing resistance training via P90X and Brazil Butt Lift (tri-brid program that I put together), the only fat left was in my mid section and armpits. How to get rid of armpit fat...? Here is a picture of armpit fat that I found online. Mine is similar.

Day 1: Fit Test
Swing kicks - 57
Power jacks - 61
Power knees - 101
Power jumps - 40
Frog jumps - 11
Suicide - 16
Push-up jacks - 21
Low plank oblique - 40

Why hasn't my body changed? It looks the same. I'm thinking it's impossible to get my waist below 27.5 inches due to my bone structure. Maybe it's ideal to work on the hips??

After 90 days of P90X and 60 days of Insanity, my measurements are still the same. I think I've gotten bigger, which is really disappointing. So, I am trying something new this time around. Here is the calendar I've been following:

Day 1 of workout program. I failed miserably in my last attempt at P90X Lean. This is my second attempt. To get into shape, I started with intervals, light weights, and cardio four times a week. This consisted of jumping jacks, jump roping, 20 minutes on the treadmill, squats, and lunges. When I feel in good enough shape, I started the P90X program again. It has been one week into it.

Height: 5'4
Weight: 130 lbs (fail!!! gained 10 lbs since April)
Bust: 34.5 in.
Upper Waist: 30 in.
Lower Waist: 34 in.

Calves: 13.5 in.
