    Great! T25 is awesome I'm finishing up the 6th week and loving it. If you have any questions about the program let me know. I have a special facebook group going for that, so if you are interested in joining that too when you get the program let me know. I've had some awesome results with it so far. Although, I haven't been following the meal plan to the tee it's simple and easy to follow. It's laid out real nice, and is the easiest of all the beachbody programs I think. I'm excited to have you in the challenge and I look forward to your progress and posts. I'm not really familiar with the JM body revolution but she's a tough cookie so I'm sure your results will be great!!!:smile:

    I do my cardio using my elliptical, treadmill and workout videos. I seem to do best every other day. For weight training I usually train just one muscle group in a day on my Life Fitness gym. When I train my legs (which is the biggest and hardest), I usually can't do a full cardio workout. I use a machine for weight training (legs, chest and back); except I use free weights for shoulders, triceps and biceps. I also get on my Total Gym once or twice a week for a routine if I can't face the weights.

    I'm use to weight training but I'm not getting much weight loss. I'm trying Carb Nite Solution now. Since I'm already a low carber, this won't be too hard for me to do. CNS is known for breaking plateaus. Seems just starting off I'm at a plateau. It's always been easy for me to lose weight but this time not so much. I'm wondering if it is because I have continued to weight train through my weight gains.

    I don't know. I'm trying to figure it all out and get losing. I do see some sculpting but nothing on the scale. I went down 3 lbs, then gained it back then loss it, and have been bouncing up and down a pound. Dreaming of seeing some real losses soon after over a month now...

    Hi! Nice to hear about your workouts. The plateau may be because your body is used to what you're doing and it needs to be challenged in a different way. I taught aerobic kickboxing for 12 years and I reached a plateau with that workout and had to change things up to see a change. Even just a different routine may be enough to do it. Another option could be to examine your diet. I've found that on occasion that has been my problem. At the beginning of the challenge which starts next week take your measurements, weight, etc and every week or every couple of weeks check your progress. Please don't use the scale to gauge your progress, because if you're losing inches you are making a change. I am here for you if you need anything. Have fun and I look forward to your progress and am excited to have you. Take care.

    So, after doing some research and understanding my schedule capabilities, I have changed my fitness plan for the next 30 days. I will continue to do Zumba 2-3 days per week because I have family counting on me (and its fun). I have also joined a 30 day arm challenge but that will only take about 10-15 min per day. I have decided to do JM's 30 Day Shred. I can give 20 minutes per day either in the AM or PM. Its the only plan that I felt confident about and inspired by so I went with it. I will start on Sunday! Looking forward to it!

    I plan on doing the Zombies, Run! couch to 5k trainer 2-3x per week for about 30 min each. My backup plan will be the same amount of time on the little elliptical at home. I also join in on the fitness activities at work when I can, which I never did before my second baby was born. As far as strength training, I've joined a push-up challenge and I lug my 14+ pound baby around everywhere, so I think that should count for something! Mostly I'm working on incorporating activity into my lifestyle overall. Thanks for the support everyone!
