    Week 7 Day 3 Rip't Circuit done. Kinda regret not getting this in as soon as I woke up but we decided to do an early bike ride. It's hard to force myself into workouts as it gets later in the day. Hope today went great for everyone!

    We had an electrical storm with high winds go through last night which caused very little sleep which made for me sleeping past my 5 a.m. date with RipT' Circuit! Did it barefoot this evening & LOVED it! This is one of my faves! The full body push up still hurts my surgery hand!:sad: Now I must accumulate some bike miles! Talk tomorrow & way to get after it ladies!

    Morning! Is everyone still plugging along with their T25 schedule? Upper focus - done! Ready for tomorrow's doubles!

    I am nervous about traveling next week for work. I'm going to have to pack my discs and a resistence band in my carryon, and hope to squeeze it in each mor ing before my conference. I have no idea what kinds of foods I'll have available to me - eek.

    I'm currently in week 7. Has anyone been on beachbody website?. I recently figured out what beachbody was about and have done beachbody programs my whole journey.

    Hi all! I am on my last 4 workouts of insanity today and am ready to go for T25 next!! I'm curious about my calorie change with burning less on T25 than I do on insanity. On insanity, I eat about 2000/day and I've been consistently losing fabulous inches and still have a little bit to go! BUT, my body has become so accustomed to eating that much, I'm worried I'll be starving if I go much lower, but won't lose if I don't...make sense? I will be adding some runs and weights to T25, but I doubt that it will still equal my average 400-550 cal burned. Curious if anyone has gone from insanity to T25 and how did you change your eating? Or didn't you? My TDEE -20% will have me down around 1700 per day...that's one of my meals! Any insight would be great and congrats to everyone for your T25 accomplishments!! Looking forward to the change and cursing Shaun T in a whole new way! :explode:

    The nutrition manual that comes with T25 recommends either 1200 or 1600 cal/day, depending on your activity level. And yes, I expect your body will be hungry for the first few days if you lower your caloric intake, but it will eventually adjust. There's no way you're going to be burning an Insanity-level number of calories in just 25 minutes

    Thanks jmc413...you've just confirmed my worst fear!! Football season is upon us which means yummy food and beer! Maybe I'll have to add running every day to be able to eat as I've become accustomed to. LOL! I'll give it a shot though. Taking off next week for just runs and recovery and then I'll jump in the first week of October!

    Evening all! I made it back home today after a very long 8.5 hrs in the car and stressful traffic :yawn: We had a great vacation but it's always nice to be back home too. Week 7 day 4 Upper Focus is done, it actually felt good after being in the car all day and I am really enjoying the upper body work. I am looking forward to doubles tomorrow. It's hard in the hotel room to get totally into the workouts, and I wasn't doing any of the jumping because I didn't want to annoy the guests below me. So it will be awesome to give it 100% tomorrow. I am also glad to be home and get to get back to my meal plans and some fruits and veggies. I've had enough of dining out for awhile.

    The dissapointing thing today, I realized I forgot my Rip't circuit dvd at the hotel. I took it out of the dvd player but must have layed it down and not put it in the case because when I opened it this evening theres a big old empty spot :sad: :sad: I left a message for housekeeping at the hotel in hopes that they find it and can mail it back to me. Not sure how I'll be able to get just the one dvd if not. Totally sucks.

    Hope you guys are all doing well with your T25 journey!! Bring on the doubles tomorrow! :drinker:

    I'm finishing week 5 of alpha tomorrow. I'm super excited to start Beta on Saturday or Monday. I'm also training for a half marathon so I'm doing T25 a little of schedule and a little slower than what he recommends. I think I've taken 7weeks to finish Alpha. I run 3-4 miles and then do T25. Sometimes 1-2miles and two T25's. I'm all over the place LOL. I've lost about 10lbs and 5 inches since alpha. I wish it was more though.

    Managed to get Rip't Circuit done last night before going to my gym and taking a RIPPED class. I feel so ripped! Have a great weekend everyone!

    Tammy - I hope you get your disc back!

    I did both Rip't Circuit and Speed 2.0 this morning and was a sweaty mess by the end. The boyfriend walked by during the Speed burnout and said "That video is frightening". LOL! That's the one that's easiest for me!

    Anyhow, I'm glad it's done, and got to log a whopping 606 calories burned.

    Oh I hope you can get your disc back, rip't is one of my favorites...

    I just finished Rip't but have decided to wait till after lunch to do Speep 2.0, I really enjoy speed and want to be able to nail it.

    Happy Friday everyone! I had to switch up the schedule a little since I lost that disk. So today I did upper focus and core cardio. Great news though, the hotel could not locate the dvd so I spoke to customer service at beachbody and they are sending me the dvd at no charge :happy: Such awesome customer service! If they hadn't already had me as a customer for life this would have sealed the deal.

    Looking forward to weigh in and measurements tomorrow. I had gained about 2 lbs during vacation but according to the scale this morning I've already lost almost all of it again. Hopefully it doesn't sneak up on me in the next few days. Hope you all have a great weekend. I plan on enjoying the last few days of my vacation before heading back to work Tuesday :cry: bummer!!

    Week 8(!) cardio done! I'm hopping a flight tonight for a work conference, so T25 and a resistance band are going into my suitcase so I can keep working out for the rest of the week.

    I'm already dreading the food this week - I anticipate them trying to serve us lots of bagels and sandwiches, ugh (I'm gluten intolerant, of course). I'm packing some protein powder and a shaker bottle. Little ziplock baggies of white protein powder are sure to get me stopped at airport security!

    Week 8 Day 1 Core Cardio Done! Even jumped on the elliptical for a bit after and hoping to get a bike ride in later. I am dreading getting up early tomorrow for my workout and going back to work after all this vacation time :ohwell: I guess I have to get back to reality at some point. Happy Monday everyone!

    @jmc413 Safe travels to you and good luck on the diet while away!

    T25 Deluxe + Gamma on the way... cannot wait to get started!

    My strategy is T25 + Sedentary TDEE - 20% + Eating Back Exercise Calories.

    I am a 31 yr old male, Currently 170lbs @ 26.3% BF (all 3 fat2fit BF calculators averaged), goal is 150lbs @ 17% BF.

    Will be using an HRM to count cals burned.

    Taking measurements, weighing, doing pictures, etc... documenting everything!

    I am PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am thinking of doing Alpha and Beta in order, but also doing some/all Gamma for strength training at the same time. Is this a good idea?

    A lot of people say how important it is to do some kind of strength training, i.e. Strong Lifts, Starting Strength, etc, while you are on a cal deficit to prevent muscle loss. Is Gamma good for this? The whole program? or a specific disc?

    I think Gamma comes with a "Hybrid Calendar" for integrating it with Alpha and Beta at the same time but I haven't actually gotten it yet so I don't know.

    Any advice?

    I just finished my first week of Alpha and so far, I love it! I'm not trying to lose any more weight, but I definitely want to become more toned. I have the Alpha and Beta and I also ordered Gamma.

    Week 8 Day 2 Upper Focus is done. It was a little rough after all the time off getting up to an alarm this morning and working out but it's done. First day back to work is dragging :ohwell:

    I really enjoy upper body. It's great to be building up more strenght in my arms. Hope everyone is doing well today!
