Have you lost weight first? Abs only show when the fat around them has been lost. So many people spend hours on abs but neglect the cardio required for them to show in the first place. Make sure you do more cardio than abs you only need less than 15 minutes ab work a week.

yeah I'd heard that, been going the gym and doing mainly cardio and NO ab work at all for about a year then started insanity 2 weeks ago.
Today was the first ab dedicated bit and it HURT due to it being the first work out they have had in some time!
Hoping to improve my shameful performance next week.

I normally have a slack handful of almonds as a snack in between meals

Carrots, celery, water or sugar free gum are all good for hunger pangs, if that's what you mean?

Last workout tonight. Its been tough but I have got there.

My only dilemma is, should I start from month 2 again or from the start?

I'm not halfway through month 1 yet and have been pondering this...
I think I'll have a week off and start again from week 1

Yeah, potentially it might make it more difficult to start again, but I read somewhere taking a week off is a good idea from a recovery perspective.
Have you seen much improvement in your fit test results?

Its a tough one really as im a lot fitter and my recovery seems to be quicker but i feel as tired while doing the workout, I do keep pushing myself so thats what that will be. Its great looking in the mirror and not seeing a over weight guy anymore. just need for these abs to start surfacing now :)

Just starting week two. As above, I feel just as shattered while doing the workout but I don't seem to ache like before. My missus seems to think she can see the difference but I can't. It's still only a week in mind Do I can't expect to much change.
She took a pic a couple of days ago so i do have a reference picture.
