    Hi all. I'm Michele from PA. I'm planning to begin T25 on Jan 1. 38 years old and need to lose 40 lbs. Had a baby in April and haven't had any luck losing the weight. I've done P90X in the past and loved it but with the new baby I have little time for exercise. (I also have 3 other children and 5 step kids). I've not tried any of the workouts yet. News Years Day is a new beginning...getting back to healthy lifestyle.

    Very excited but nervous at the same time! Good luck and I will check back jan 1!
  • Hello,
    My name is Jessie and I am 39yo female. Currently T25 is sitting under my tree. I would like to lose 30lbs. I am so excited to start this with everyone. I will upload a pic as soon as I can get one that doesn't upload sideways! Thanks for creating this group!

    Hi Jessie! Welcome!
  • i'm Allison - 40 yr old female, currently on week 3 of t25 and loving it!!

    Hi Allison! Welcome!
  • hi! new to the group!! currently on week 2 ... almost done!!! feel free to add!
    Welcome to the group!
  • Hi,

    I'm Douglas from the UK and just joined the group - just finished week 1 of T25. First time doing a calorie controlled diet; first time doing an indoor program like T25. I'm a fair weather jogger and struggle to stay in shape over the UK winter months, when it's too wet, cold or icy to want to head out...so trying something different this winter. Will also be throwing in an occasional game of squash.

    I would love to lose around 18lb - weather has already been pants for a while - and also get in shape over the winter.

    Feel free to add - and good luck to everyone starting out! :)

    Thanks,
    Douglas

    Hey Doug! Welcome! Hope you enjoyed the first week! Total Body Circuit is a tough one.
  • Hi all,

    I'm planning on starting out on Monday, and plan to do this program with P90x3 (since both are 1/2 hour programs). Getting up early the first few days is tough, then I'm in the habit and it's much easier!

    That is awesome, I also got P90X3 for Christmas. I've done a few of the workouts and enjoy it. I love these short workout formats. I was more than halfway through P90X and find those workouts to go so SLOW after doing T25.
  • Hi my name is Mikeyia,

    I tend to fall off my exercise routine alot, but I recieved T25 for christmas and hopefully I can stick with the program this time. I know I can do 25 minutes a day compared to an 1hour, well I am ready and preparing myself for the best.

    Hi Mikeyia,

    This group and myself are here to help keep you on track. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you struggle with motivation. My email address is coachingwithjosht@gmail.com I am pretty good about checking it multiple times throughout the day.

    It's great to have you Michele. I think you'll find these workouts to move quite a bit faster than the P90X workouts. AS much as I like that program, there seems to be a lot of "downtime" during the workouts. I'd prefer to get in, get it done, and get out!

    Glad to have you onboard!

    Hey All!

    I'm Frankie, 37yr old. Currently in the military stationed in Georgia but 7 mo out from an ACL surgery. I'm starting T25 on the 30th and will probably do p90x as well. I'm in poor shape from "taking it easy" since the surgery... and want to lose about 50 lbs. Although I could los 20 lbs an be ok.

    Good luck to all! and keep pushing play!

    Hi I am joy I am 42 and live in the UK. I have 3 children who all have special needs (a mix of autism and ADHD). I also work full time. Working out is my me time it helps me cope with my stressful life. I am starting T25 on the 30th december and on the 6th (when the kiddos return to school) I begin half marathon training. I have 2 half marathons this year in April and May and am considering doing xrunner (10k obstacle muddy race) in may also. Looking forward to your support and the results from t25. Good luck everyone.
  • Started day one today! Cardio was great, had to do some modifiers,. I have been lazy the last few weeks, good food and wine! I will be paying for that for awhile. Good luck everyone!

    Hi. I'm Latosha. I'm 27 and living in Texas. I've attempted Insanity and did about 2 months of P90X, but the length of the workouts was too long. I'm hoping these short ones will give me no excuses to get up and do them. Then I want to try P90X3! I already did my T25 workout this morning. Had to modify, but I also haven't really exercised in a couple of months...

    Let's Do This!

    I did day one today also! Feels great.
  • Hi Everyone,

    My name's Katie and started T25 today. I'm so excited to be apart of this group and see what changes I can make over the next ten weeks. Our honeymoon is in ten weeks as well. So there's a little added motivation. My goal this year would be to lose 35 lbs.

    Good luck everyone!!!

    Hello! I am planning on starting tomorrow with Day 1. Kind of nervous because I lack willpower and am hoping to squash those negative thoughts with the new year. Good luck, everyone :)

    Hi all,

    I'm Kerry, 24 years old, and living in New Jersey, where, don't worry, we don't like you either ;)

    After debating whether or not I wanted to drop $140 bucks on workout DVDs, I did. I am still bathing in the sweat from Alpha Cardio as I type, and thank God for Tania because I would've died without a modifier. Looking forward to looking sexy :)

    Hi My name is Nancy. I became of first time mommy 2 months ago and am looking to get back into shape. Hoping focus T25 is the answer for this new mom thats short on time. I've done other beachbody workouts before turbojam, P90X, Insanity but I only did the workout part and not the nutrition part. I am hoping to do the nutrition part this time with the support of a group to guide me. :smile:
  • Day two, speed 1.0 complete! I really liked the placement of this one, great moves with stretching in between.

    Good job! The speed workouts in (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 in Gamma) are my favorites hands down.

    Hi, everyone! I'm Joey, 41 year old mama of 2 boys from Iowa. I got down to my lowest weight in 20 years in 2012, but a little over 10 lbs creeped back on in 2013. I was doing Insanity in October along with some personal training sessions and kickin' some butt, and suffered a kettle bell shoulder injury, so I had to stop Insanity right at the halfway mark. I'm back on track, but now I have an ouchie knee that I have to modify a bit for (fell ice skating and bruised it up pretty badly). Started T25 yesterday, and I'm sticking to the nutrition plan as well. Loved the format! I leave for my first ever cruise a few days after this program will finish, and I want to feel awesome in a little dress for some elegant meals with my hubby and great friends, not to mention when lounging around on the beach! :) Best of luck, everyone!

    I'm Amanda, 24, 260 lbs, in El Paso, TX. I just finished day 2 (Speed 1.0) and I'm barely making it even on modified but I'm glad its only 25 minutes! Since I have to cook for my husband and daughter I'm not really sticking to the meal plan but definitely watching portions and cooking healthy meals. I lost weight early in 2013 and then gained it all back and then some but I'm determined and committed to a lifestyle change at this point. My husband has even agreed to do the workouts with me. I did Insanity for a while almost 2 years ago but quit due to an unrelated back injury but I know the stuff works! Just joining for accountability so I'm less likely to quit!

    Hi - My name is Jessica and I started T25 on Sunday 12/29 (I couldn't wait until Monday!) I just finished Week 1, Day 3 (Total Body Circuit), and it kicked my butt. I'm super motivated to do this program, and do it right! I WILL do a burpee without modification, dammit!

    I'm always looking for more friends on MFP - so please add!

    Hi, I'm Olivia. 40 year old mom of twins from Toronto, Canada. I am starting T25 today. I only have about 5lbs to lose so I'm using the program more for tone and definition than for weigh loss. I started insanity a while ago but never completed the program (my DVD set was stolen from my home) so I'm really really really looking forward to completing t25.

    I am Shelley. I am 53. I have about an extra 15 pounds to lose. Mostly due to my poor eating habits. I work out regularly. Thought this looked fun. But I just ordered my set. So will not be receiving my set until Saturday at the earliest. I do HIIT workouts, body weight workouts and lots of others. I will catch up slowly.

    I feel the same as those others wanting to stay motivated and to achieve lasting change!!! I am trying to get my husband to do the program as well, but he has refused so far. I am not following the nutrition plan 100% as I'm trying to get back to a paleo eating plan. I hope to meet new people on here as well!

    Hi! My name is Jackie. I am so happy to have found this team. I created a myfp account a long time ago but did nothing with it as I already also havea Sparkpeople account and just find I had too many things going on and nothing really working.

    I ordered T25 when it came out and joined a FB challenge group. I am happy to say I completed all 10 yeeks, earned my "Nailed it shirt" and earned the most team points ; my coach awarded me the grand prize-the Gamma workout. There I stopped. Once the team stopped, I stopped. I still workout regularly at my gym with Bodypump, Sculpt (which is like T25 meet yoga) and Zumba etc. One of my goals for 2014 is to start and continue with T25 all the way through the Gamma round and keep going. I lost inches but not as many pounds (my other goal-refocus on clean eating).

    I will be starting on Monday Januaury 6th.

    Looking forward to this and thanks Josh.
