Unless you run 100 miles per day, exercise cannot outdo a diet.Finished Focus T25 and here are my results:
Bust -.5 inches lost
Arm +.5 inches gained
Waist +.5 inches gained
Hips 1 inch lost
Thigh +.5 inches gained
Weight 2 pounds gained
Waste of time. I did this in conjunction with another workout program. Looks like I wasted my entire summer. So very disappointing.1 -
I completed T25 this past week and am also a coach, however will give you an unbiased review. I believe this program is great for anyone pressed for time and/or need to lose fat. Like the others said, it is lots of cardio. I was doing Body Beast before T25 and ended up losing a lot of the muscle I had built. After the first phase, I started adding weight training back in and started feeling better. I feel the diet restrictions are low and 1200 is not enough for me. What I mainly got out of this program is increased speed and agility. Nothing wrong with that! But be careful! If your body isn't primed (making sure you have joint stability) you may get injured! This is fast paced and quick movements. You do not have to keep up with the people on the video, but it's hard to not want to, right?! So just be sure you have correct form and go at your own pace! Best of luck!0

I'm beginning my last week of the first month and I lost 3 inches around my waist since starting. That's paired with eating 1200 calories a day from the first day. Not sure if that's anything compared to others but definitely seen a big difference in the mirror. Love it.0

Any older, out of shape folks out there that are using T25? I am 53 years old and have not done anything in the way of fitness in a very long time. I love the idea of a 25 minute work out, and the commercial says that the modifications make the workout doable for people of all ages and fitness levels but I am wondering if it is really realistic for me. Any thoughts? Any suggestions for a program that might be better for me as I start out?
I am also 53 and am truly loving Focus T25!!! I am on week 4 and have really seen my endurance increase from the first week. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!! Come on, you can do it!!0 -

Sorry you didn't have the results you wanted, you don't say what your nutrition was. I lost 6.5 inches during the Alpha phase and entire pant size eating 1,600 calories. Though I'm still the same weight I was when I started, I can tell that I'm getting leaner, which is something I've always wanted, but for some reason had a hard time achieving even when I was a runner and triathlete. Right now, I'm on week 3 of Beta phase, and still losing inches. My boss was so impressed with my results so far that he's decided to order it.0 -

Are you sticking exclusively to T25?0 -
This is probably one of my favorite workout DVD's I've ever done. I am loving the results I'm getting. Seeing I'm typically at my goal weight, wouldn't mind losing another 10 lbs but I'm ok if I don't. I'm not dropping weight but I am dropping inches and pant sizes. I've already dropped a pant size from day one to now, and I'm on Week 8. I have muscles that are actually able to see without flexing them. I am very happy with my results and can't wait to take my after photo's.0

I do strength training twice a week, down from 3 times a week before T25, this is why I kept my calories at 1600, I also eat pretty clean (which I know is a dirty word around here). For 3 months before starting T25 I did strength training along with Turbo Fire and even though I was losing weight, I wasn't getting the "leaness" I'm getting now. To be honest I was surprised at these results since I wear an HRM and was barely burning 200 calories per workout, I'm glad I stuck with it.0 -

That is rather impressive. You should be proud!0 -
This program is something I might REALLY be interested in... however I don't personally know anyone who has done it to ask this - how much SPACE do you need to complete the workout?
I have a fairly small living room and don't have more than let's say 10 sq feet of space MAX.
Does anyone know if you need a lot of room to perform the workouts?0 -

I have to push my coffee table back to do it and I workout in my small living room, so no, you really don't need a whole lot.
Here are some photo's of day 1 to today which is week 8...

A couple questions...is it more cardio or strength training driven workout? I don't need to loose weight but just maintain and "tone up" more. The workouts I saw on the tv infomorcial looked like the workouts I have done at my gym that they call Dynamic Training.
I also have a bone on bone knee and wondered if I could handle it. I do workouts at the gym and since loosing my weight my knee doesn't hurt or bother me but I don't want to make it worse than it already is!
Thanks in advance!0 -
Hi everyone!
I just finished week 2 of Focus T25 and I'm absolutely in love with it! I've never stuck with a workout programme for two whole weeks.
I was wondering what nutrition ratio would you suggest for those who choose not to follow the nutrition plan?0 -

It would probably be difficult with your knee--there's a lot of jumping around but you are given the option to modify (someone is demonstrating the modifications). I would say it's more cardiovascular and some strength training in the form of bodyweight training. It's decent if you're pressed for time. I've been incorporating other workouts along with it.0 -
I just posted my results here: thebewit*****itchen.com/2013/09/focus-t25-results.html I'm pretty happy with where I have come. Still no fitness model, but getting to a place where I'm more comfortable in a bikini
Unsure why it won't let me post the url but where it's starred is thebewit*****itchen0 -
Hey guys,
I'm currently starting my second week of T25, I'm also working out at the gym whenever I have a few extra hours in the day. I am getting toned, but I realize my thighs are getting bigger. I'm worried cause I started this program to get rid of my thighs. So I was wondering, are they supposed to slim down later or do they just stay toned and big?
Thank you so much!0 -
Did anyone notice the dark haired lady in the in the infomercial is the same lady in the insanity program.

I really love FT25 also - I started as a BB coach because I loved Insanity so much - but I really like T25 better. Its so focused and its only 25 minutes long - I find this one almost more difficult, definitely more challenging. I will still pull out Insanity on a down day and work out for an hour - its really nice to have that option.0

If you're talking about the one who does the modified moves in the T25 video, then yes, that is her. She had a baby last year and this is her first program since.0 -

Your muscles are probably swollen. Smaller thighs will come with weight loss.0 -
I love T25. I'm on Beta Phase and have seen results thus far. By the way I am not a BB coach. In the past 8 weeks of following through with this program I have lost 14 lbs and 10 inches all around. You will get results. The best thing about it is that it's only 25 minutes. I'm doing Insanity next, then going to do another round of T25. You will be happy with the results. Good luck!0

I just finished Beta - I love this program. It is really easy on my knees, and I can fit it into my busy/hectic life!

I lost 11 pounds, also, which I have been on a plateau for ages prior to doing T25!0 -
Not biased. I love love love it! I finished Alpha with loosing 11 ibs and total of 6 inches overall
I love Beta. so far. It really works. I hope to get down to 120s ( currently 149) by Dec and I think I will!!0 -
OKAY GUYS!!!! I joined MFP JUST to comment here. SO STOKED TO START F-T25 YOU HAVE NO IDEA! (Hence, why I had the annoying caps lock on the whole time.) But seriously, that's how excited I am!
I'll give a few stats and you guys can let me know your thoughts about it.
But 1st, CON-FLIPPIN-GRATULATIONS TO YOUR PROGRESS GUYS! Really impressed with just your sheer commitment and dedication for lasting however long you lasted on the program. Whether you finished/aren't finishing/have yet finished, you DECIDED to do something and you did it. That's it! Enough said! You're awesome because of that alone. I can't tell you how many times, I've tried/decided to start a workout/diet regimen and all through the first 15 min of a workout or 1st day into an eating plan I fall off, (but that's another story).
Anyhow...this one is going to be different. I can FEEL it in my bones. Like someone else said (I'm paraphrasing), it's hard to justify not doing it since it's only 25 minutes. (yes I did read ALL the comments) So, there it is-No excuses! Getting rid of those now. (I'm rambling) Okay! Back on track. A little about me:
Female
*I'm 5'2-5'3 (prob 5'3), about 125 lbs (But boy does this fluctuate--b/t 125-129 when I consistently over eat/ eat anything fattening)
*Some muscle but not much at all. Was more toned at 135 lbs which was my starting weight. I lost roughly 10 lbs since last year and some muscle tone. I don't measure but I'm not crazy-I've never seen fat over my knees until the weight loss and I'm not as agile as I used to be. :-| I'm just out of shape, this much I know. (BUT I still embrace my fluffy knees hmph!)
*Hello my name is >:-x and I am a SCALE-AHOLIC. I weigh myself religiously every morning after I empty my bladder. I know its a terrible habit... BUT I have a plan for this (see below) <:-)
*I don't really know my measurements exactly: roughly 27 inch waist, 38 inch hips, 21 inch thigh, thin arms...(yeah, that barely helped) Forget about it, I'll just supplement with pictures and real measurements when I get a chance.
*Point is, I'd like to lose 10 lbs min. and get to my goal of 115. I KNOW. I KNOW, I shouldn't focus on weight loss and that muscle looks better and weighs more. I still would like to lose 10 lbs. However, my mind is open to accepting any kind of result from this program (I plan on finishing whether I lose weight or not).
Since the program is 10 weeks. I plan on taking progress photos and weighing myself on the scale every 2 weeks (despite the calendar saying weekly b/c quite frankly, I need the discipline<Scale-Aholics Anonymous anyone?> I may change it to taking photos weekly but for now, I think bi-weekly is good.
I will take the measurements weekly.
My real questions are about...DIET! (Of course)
My job is sedentary (desk job). Average walking after that (grocery store, light house cleaning - nothing that counts). So what, should I eat? Really guys, this baffles me time and time again. It's so frustrating bc any little thing puts me back to a higher weight. (I know I'm not the only one) So after all the trial and error, I''ve noticed a few things: Above all else, I simply need to avoid high calorie foods (no junk or crap) and eat until I'm satisfied. I maintain when I follow that notion. When I avoid carbs for most of the day and have a bit of healthy carb for one meal, I lose a bit.
I don't want to eat too few calories but I'd really like to lose. Any suggestions? I recently read up on the keto diet? Anyone has any experience/suggest this for me?
I don't have a HRM. I did but I lost it/stopped using it bc I lost the instructions. Don't have any desire in getting a new one. Is it absolutely necessary?
Should I wait until Monday to start? So eager, I could start tomorrow morning!
IDK GUYS... Help? Please?
Also, if you guys know of any support groups, send them my way please. Definitely open to any suggestions/thoughts/ideas. Let me know!0 -
oh...my...lanta. that's a long comment.0
