    I'm starting in next Monday, on April 14. I can't wait! I hope I'll see some results, I really need my confidence back so I'll be able to wear a swimsuit again!

    ^ I start week 5 of Alpha today. Down 8 lbs so far. No idea on inches yet. Haven't measured. It's tough but it works. The Alpha phase is very focused on lower body. Be weary of your calfs and achilles. I tweaked my achilles in week 2 doing the high kicks in Alpha cardio. Don't push yourself to hard to early. I also recommend doing a "zero week" which you just do the week 1 schedule of videos at 75% intensity and let your body get over it's initial soreness. Then repeat week 1 at full intensity. Going full out from the start is going to be a tough transition for your lower body.

    I am in Week 2 of Alpha! Hoping to see some better results this week since I ate WAY too much last week!

    I just did my first workout of Alpha, week two! I did so much more than last week and am definitely feeling it today! I run 3x a week, too, so my legs are completely feeling it. I've been lifting some weights so that I can still have a balance of the cardio and strength training. I know these are supposed to be full body workouts, but like it was said above...it's very lower body heavy. I can't wait to see my results this week :-)

    I completed week 1 day 3 of the beta phase and I love it! Burning 430-500 in each workout in beta!

    I've been thinking of getting this myself and starting it, but although I see a lot of positive comments on it, is it really worth the money and do you have a workout partner to keep you motivated?

    I have just started, but I LOVE that it is 25 minutes. It seems to be the perfect time. Just when I think I want to quit, I realize there's only 10 minutes left, and hey - anyone can do 10 minutes, right? I think the programs I've done in the past are just too long to stick with. 25 minutes is very doable, and believe me, I'm feeling it already!

    I am on week 4- no weight loss yet .... My body looks slimmer but the scale is up... I know about water retention and all that, but 4 weeks in and no weight loss ? did this happen to any of you guys ?

    I love the program, and i can see that endurance is much much better, i can do stuff that couldn't do the first few weeks. but the freaking scale isn't moving :huh:

    Totally worth it! The workouts are not horrible and it's over in 25 minutes! Plus you get Saturdays off and it's only an awesome Stretch workout on Sunday! It's on sale this month, too!

    I started a Summer Slim Down group if anyone wants to join to have a specific place to track our changes, share ideas, and talk about T25! Even if you're not doing T25 right now, if you think it might be something you want to try (or see what we can do), feel free to join! I've lost 3.9 pounds and almost 4 inches in just EIGHT DAYS! :-)

    Hello!
    I am on day 3 of T25, I am very determined to lose weight and get in shape. I will follow the program as instructed and hoping I see some great results.

    This is the reason why I don't weigh myself....I get very discouraged. I measure myself once a week and as I long as I see results that way, that's all I care about. I'd rather be thinner than lighter ;)

    I'm also doing T25. I'm starting Beta next week. Pretty excited!

    It's a good workout, but doesn't make you want to kill yourself like insanity lol. Except for that total body circuit work out in the alpha round. Ugh!!

    Make sure you're eating appropriately. Overeating can wipe out any deficit created through exercise. That being said though, I understand. I actually went through that with Insanity. I nearly killed myself and saw maybe 1 or 2lbs lost. But my body changed considerably. And I have very little to lose so that's part of the reason for that. Just stay patient and make sure you are eating and measuring your food correctly. Also, start taking body measurements. The scale does not tell the whole truth. You'll get there!!

    I dread that one. I'm on the final week of Alpha and I have to do it three times this week including tonight! The oblique knee pushups at the end are just plain evil!

    Mine should be arriving in the mail today, and was planning on starting Monday, but this seems like sounds advice, I may try to get a workout or two in this week yet to lessen the pain of next week. Thanks for the tip.

    Yea try the Alpha Cardio vid and see how sore you are after. I personally haven't been able to work out for the past year because of hernia issues. So for me the initial soreness was extreme. If you have been working out all along it may not be so bad for you. I'm glad I did the zero week though because jumping into those vids at 100% off the start I would have been bed ridden after the first day. :D

    Those are the worst- I can barely do those!

    I'm on week 4 alpha. I didn't lose any weight until week 3 but I've definitely dropped inches! I haven't measured but I'm pretty close to have going down an entire pant size. I feel much stronger and my endurance is so much better. I was running and doing the 30DS prior to starting this and I didn't have any problems with soreness. So if you are coming from another program you should be ok to just jump right in. And those oblique knee push-ups, oh my god. I did TBC last night and I knew they were coming and they sucked just as bad as I thought. But I LOVE it :) I'd love to have some more T25 friends!!
