10 pounds in 2 weeks!!:) Wow; what's his diet like? You guys are doing great. Still waiting for mine to arrive.I am on week 2 and love it! my husband is doing it with me! and he is doing amazing, he has lost 10lbs! and I have lost 6.75 inches0 -
im about to go intoweek 3 - really enjoying the programme know myself i NEED to put more into it!
lost 0.5" in a few parts of my body - not lost weight yet! x0 -
So far, I've lost 14 pounds in 3 weeks. Week 4 starts tomorrow. I also went from size 36 to 34 in jeans and shorts. So far so good. Definitely losing a lot of body fat. I'm doing the 1600 calorie diet provided by the nutrient guide that comes with the videos. Add me if you would like to keep each other motivated.0

I'll only say that I've done about half the workouts in the T25, and it works.
I feel pain and soreness in areas that Insanity and P90X never made me feel.
It's only 25 minutes per workout, but you get a lot crammed into that short period of time........I would definitely recommend.0 -
I've done 4 weeks of T25 now and am down 6 lbs... halfway to my 12 lb goal (I am only slightly overweight so this is a great thing to kick me off that plateau and down to where I should be). Mostly split 3 lbs each in weeks 1 and 3 and fractional in weeks 2 and 4.
I've also lost 2 inches on my waist (38 to 36, my pants are baggy).
I travel a lot for business and am thrilled that I have a workout I can do in my hotel room in 25 minutes and be done with it. Combine that short workout with myfitnesspal calorie logging and my fitbit? I'm one happy dude.0 -
I'm a beachbody coach and just about to start on T25 as well! It'd be great to do this together! I don't think I'm supposed to post my coach info here b/c it's not the appropriate use of message boards, but you can send me a message if you want to talk further!0

I want to get this....I have looked at the Beachbody website and saw those success stories but looking for "real" success stories! I am trying to convince my husband that we NEED this and we can do it together :-)
most of the success stories are real. my friend's hubby started with her, he's down 18 lbs in 3 weeks. i have another girlfriend that is doing it with her hubby! and two friends on my T25 challenge group that are doing it with their significant others as well.
people are reporting decent pound and inches lost. i was down an inch in my waist the first week! i was supposed to do my stats today, but this AM got off to the a rough start, so it will be tomorrow. i think most of the success stories, are legit.
the first time i did the Ab interval DVD, i could feel it in my abs for THREE days afterwards. i've done p90x ab ripper ( total of 9 mo of p90x) and i never felt it for that many days afterwards!!!!0 -
A couple questions for you:
Did you do the 5 day fast track plan? (I'm doing it/starting my first day of T25 tomorrow and would love any advice you have)
Do you feel like you have enough energy eating with the nutrition guide?
What are the biggest cons about eating with the nutrition guide?
Any other insight or tips you can provide in regards to the nutrition guide would be super helpful. Thanks!!
I did not do the fast track plan, and have not been following their plans.
I eat a paleo style diet, so some of the foods just don't work. i have just kept eating the way i've been eating since january. and yes, i totally feel like i have enough energy.
i will say, i do drink shakeology every day. i started taking supplements back in january to help me with some digestive and metabolic issues. when i found out that the vegan shakeology not only fit in with my no soy and no dairy, i looked into it, and came to realize that ALL of the supplements i take daily are IN the shakeology now ( except krill oil). so, i switched in june from a million pills a day to one shake a day, LOL!! i know this helps me with my energy levels, digestion and metabolism because it is what i was doing for 6 mo, just the harder and more expensive way :-)0 -
Here you go:
Identification
Your normal body temperature rises during exercise in order to convert chemical energy from the food you eat to mechanical energy needed for activity; the harder your workout, the higher your body temperature. To keep your body from overheating, the millions of sweat glands on the surface of your skin secrete liquid sweat so the liquid can evaporate and keep you cool

Ditto on it being great for travel! I travel 10+ months a year, and I'm excited to finally have a program that is doable in a hotel room! I'm just starting week 3, down 5 pounds and a few inches! I go back to work in a couple weeks, and I'm hoping I've made it a strong enough habit to keep up once I have the stress of work to deal with!0 -
it's a great work out program for travel!! we are going to a cottage at the end of aug and i know i will be brining it with me!0

I am wondering about plyo. There was SOOOO much in insanity and I'm wondering how this compares. I'm having an issue with one of my knees and I have to modify some, but I would hate to have to modify most of the moves. Any input on the amount of lunges, etc that there are in this (so far)?0
-
it's a lot of jumping, and fast jumping at that. there is modification for all moves though.
see if you can watch one of the preview videos. i haven't gotten to beta yet, but alpha is a lot of up and down.0 -
Just started the Focus T25 today, starting with Alpha Cardio, disc 1. Initially, I thought, oh...just some cardio; may have to just send this back....Then it became a workout---much better than some cardio classes I have taken at the gym---and this gal has taken MANY classes!!!:) In 25 minutes, I burned 232 calories according to my HRM. I am hypothyroid and my heart rate is rather low. My average HR was 111, but my highest point during the workout was 140. Not too shabby. I was sweating like crazy at the end and feeling like I got a great workout in. This will be a great supplement on days such as today, when I cannot get to the gym. I will still enjoy my spin classes and weight training; this really sweetens the pot. Hope this is helpful for anyone considering it.0

Just bought mine today! I cannot wait for it to get here. I have a friend who is doing it (done it) and highly recommends it. I just completed Jamie Eason's 12 week livefit trainer...and I was looking for another program!
Hope that 3 to 5 days shipping is more like 3....I am ready!

They are great about shipping:) Did your friend see alot of good results with T25? I know a few people who are doing T25 AND some other DVDs!!:) Curious to see if this alone will make good things happen:)Just bought mine today! I cannot wait for it to get here.

I am a BB coach and just started T25 this week.. so far I like it but it certainly isn't Insanity!0

In some ways, it's easier.......the moves aren't as high impact or high speed.
On the other hand, in some ways, it's more challenging.......come on, 25 minutes straight, no breaks in the action.
I love doing to T25 workouts back-to-back, so I'm on for 25 minutes, take a short break, and then push for another 25 minutes. I'm a puddle by the end of it all.0 -

My friend has done a lot of the different programs off beachbody and she said (and I quote) "T25 is the bomb"! haha. I think knowing my history of 5 knee surgeries, she knew my reluctance to order Insanity. I have been wanting to do that program for awhile...but I was very concerned with all the plyo and jumping.
I do understand that this program has that too. Sounds very intense. I mean, 25 min ...nonstop! But in some aspect, it doesn't sound like it will be as hard on my knees.
I am really hoping for some additional weight loss and leaning out.0 -
Today is day one for me! I am very excited aboout this journey. I just can't wait to start feeling better in my own skin! They are very VERY fast about their shipping. I only waited 3 days; I ordered Monday morning and it was on my door step Wednesday afternoon when I got home from work.0

The modifications look good--if you have knee or other issues, there are modifications you could follow and still get your workout in:)0 -

Right on!! ONe thing I wonder...How in heck do these people in the video not stop for a drink of water??:) I held my water bottle during part of the workout!!!:)0 -
Did the Speed DVD from the T25 program and...I am seriously dreading that I have to do that one again tomorrow, per the T25 schedule:/ It's a tough one. I was thirsty all the way through it and pouring sweat. Burned 215 calories according to my HRM. My legs are sore from yesterday's workout, but it's a good feeling.0

Not a success story yet, but I will be! I'm on week 3 and I'm loving it so far. Honestly, there have been several times when I wouldn't want to work out but you have to tell yourself that it's only 25 minutes and they go by fast! I actually have a lot of energy and thank goodness for Tania and the modifying she does and she's sweating it up too. You're going to love/hate those burpee squats and pikes. Oh goodness, the total body circuit days, I'm dying.0

In the time you have been on it, have you noticed any changes? I have seen some reviews on Amazon where the person is on week 2 or week 3 and lost several pounds and inches.Not a success story yet, but I will be! I'm on week 3 and I'm loving it so far.

I'm starting T25 on Monday, 8/5. I can't wait to get started as I've heard of incredible results.0

I question the results; everyone looks so ccokie cutter. I am on day 3 and the workouts are intense, but great. You will feel good after; it is hard work. But only 25 minutes. I like Shaun T's demeanor, how he explains, and even he gets out of breath.0 -
I"m not sure how to post pics HERE, like big enough to see ( not the tiny profile pics). if you'd like to see a side view of my midsection after week 1, message me and i'll send you a link. I'm real. nothing cookie cutter :-) promise!0

I'm just finishing week 2 and really like it so far. It's a big change for me as I was doing Chalean Extreme lifting for the last 4 months. It's mostly cardio and I sweat my butt off and burn 200-250 calories in 30 minutes. Crazy! I also upped my protein to 30 percent last week and have lost 4-5 pounds in the last 2 weeks which is insane for me. You should definitely give it a try.0
