I'm currently in week 2 and I'd love to join. I think I'll be beginning week 4 at that time. I'm not sure if that's too far ahead but it might be helpful to have someone who's a bit ahead available to answer questions.0

1) Your Name and Where You Live - Tommy, Houston, TX
2) How is your current fitness? - About to start week 5 (Level 3) of 30 day shred
3) What are your fitness goals? - Lose weight. I have been looking for a program after the 30DS (to continue my morning routine) and I think this one will work well with my schedule. Also, I have a daughter on the way (Due in February) and I too want to be a good role model for fitness.
4) Do you have any physical limitations? - None
5) How is your nutrition? - Also on MFP set to lose 2 pounds per week
6) What is your biggest struggle - Motivation. I seem to get intense about a program for 4 or 6 weeks and then my motivation wanes, falling back into old habits. After 30DS, I want to switch it up but within the confines of a routine.
I may start a week after you all (on the 14th) in order to finish the 30DS I've committed to. But I'll be kicking it with T25 week one on that day. For sure.0 -
Awesome Tommy, great to have you on board 0

1) Your Name and Where You Live? : I'm Christina and I live in Connecticut
2) How is your current fitness? --- I'd say I'm slightly greater than average
3) What are your fitness goals? --lose about 10-15 pounds
4) Do you have any physical limitations? -- hmmm, i get shin splints rather easily
5) How is your nutrition? --on point most of the time. love veggies and mostly healthy foods. I do indulge with control/moderation.
6) What is your biggest struggle--not taking fitness TOO FAR. I can be a bit too intense.0 -
Hi everyone! I'm happy to join this group! I'm starting on Monday Sept. 30th.
1) Your Name and Where You Live
Ontario, Canada
2) How is your current fitness?
I would say in between intermediate and advanced. I'm currently finishing up Jillian Michaels Ripped In 30. I enjoy lifting, power walking and Pilates but I also play tennis and ice skating season just started up so I try to do that once or twice per week.
3) What are your fitness goals?
To get stronger and increase my plank holding times.
4) Do you have any physical limitations?
I have to be careful not to aggravate my sciatica. Certain moves involving twisting tend to modify just to play it safe.
5) How is your nutrition?
My eating habits are really good now. I eat healthy but at the same time I allow myself for treats and relaxed meals once or twice per week. I have a nice balance and I'm never deprived from the things I want, but it took me a long time to learn portion control.
6) What is your biggest struggle?
To eat more calories. I'm tall, I am very active and I am maintaining so I struggle at times with eating enough at times.0 -
Glad to have you aboard Rainbow 0

1) Your Name and Where You Live
Bisera, NJ
2) How is your current fitness?
Excercise 5/6x per week, so I guess intermediate
3) What are your fitness goals?
Lose weight, get more muscle definition
4) Do you have any physical limitations?
Knee pains when jumping too much, hence why I'm giving T25 a try. Insanity was too long for me and definitely felt it in my joints and knees
5) How is your nutrition?
I try to eat as clean as possible, but I will give the T25 nutrition plan a try. I have done P90X & Insanity previously, but I didn't really follow their nutrition plans so I am excited to see how this goes.
6) What is your biggest struggle
Sugar. Really spins me out of control with the food thereafter0 -
Welcome, glad to have you. T25 is short and sweet, but intense. Excited to see everyone's results. 0

1) Your Name and Where You Live - Melanie from Omaha, NE
2) How is your current fitness? - This year, not good. Fell far from last year when I was at goal and very athletic.
3) What are your fitness goals? - To get back into the routine and learn how to find that happy medium and fit fitness in with my family and work schedules.
4) Do you have any physical limitations? - Technically I am over 25% disabled from my injuries, but I don't let them stop me. I know how to modify, I know what my body can't handle. I have 2 levels fused in my spine with clamps supporting them, 2 yrs in a row I had to have a hernia repair surgery, and I know I have at least one more, but I refuse to have surgery, and I have bad knees that bother me from time to time. Yep, I'm about 80 in a 34 yr old body. LOL
5) How is your nutrition? - about 75% of my week is great, its the weekends that kill me.
6) What is your biggest struggle - weekends, we like to go out, movies, dinners, etc, and I don't always make the best choices. Sweets are a killer for me, sets something off in my head and I go crazy the rest of the day it seems.
I am currently in the 2nd week of T25, but I find myself missing a lot of days, when I'm gone from the house from 7-7, then come home to make dinner, help with homework, etc. It's something I'm working on, but I have been consistently getting in 3 days at the gym at my work the last few weeks, so when I miss the cardio day I'm not too upset.0 -
Great to have you Melanie, hopefully we can all support you on those rough weekends and help motivate you to fit those workouts in 0

1) Mary from Baltimore, MD
2) Pretty bad lol. Sit at a desk during the day and lay on the sofa at night
3) lose weight and really start loving myself and how I look naked ; )
4) just asthma....and laziness
5) hmmm nutrition.... I eat a lot of chicken, steak and beer. LOL Definitely something to work on!
6) Being a single mom. Finding time to work out and finding nutritious meals that both my 8 yr old and I like.0 -
Welcome aboard, beer is one of my weaknesses as well, I try to have one or two a week lol. 0

I'm also starting T25 with a group of friends, on 10/7, so will combine the 2 somehow. I have a green light from my primary physician to go all out. As I age, I'd like to be an example of what is possible at a , " certain age !! "0 -

6) What is your biggest struggle
As I stated up in 4 getting my mind to do it
Random crap---
I work in a IT dept so most of my day is sitting at computers (Though i do take walks on my breaks and lunches when I can to help get a little more exercise). I bought a fitbit flex which I really like and it helps keep me motivated to get that extra step and move.
I love to play in a coed league softball team and it is a passion of mine during the summer/fall (I want to get in better shape so I don't feel exhausted)
Also I just started the program today so I will only be a week into it0 -
Hey Josh, Welcome Aboard. I work in IT as well, I know the stuck behind a desk feeling all too well 0

1) Hi I'm Tarsha from West Palm Beach Florida.

3) I want to be healthy and have more energy for my kid and for myself.

5) Although I recently joined MFP, I have been losing weight consistently for the past 6 months. I also have two pounds a week set as my weight loss goal. I've been watching my calorie intake.
6) My biggest struggles are making time for me to workout consistently, & not listening.to. that.negative voice in my head that tells me I'm crazy for even trying this @ this stage in the game. I'm.a firm believer in act as if you can until you do. Modified! modified, modified! :-) It's time for me to be true to my vision.as they say.& do what it takes to achieve my goals. Thx for letting me join you guys on this journey.0 -

Hey everyone,

1) Your Name and Where You Live - Susan from Texas
2) How is your current fitness? - Pretty bad. I have started going to the gym and using the weight machines, but that is only recently. Started T25 on Monday (10/7/13).
3) What are your fitness goals? To finish Alpha and Beta - even if I have to use the modified versions of the exercises 90% of the time. Then, I'd like to try it again with little to no use of the modified exercises. Ultimately, I have about 60 pounds that have been 'hanging on' for over 10 years. The additional 25lbs have slowly been creeping on the last 5 years or so.
4) Do you have any physical limitations? None, beside lack of willpower.
5) How is your nutrition? I have recently been cleaning up my diet. Cutting sugar, no sodas, more water, small portions.
6) What is your biggest struggle - My biggest struggle is sticking with a fitness routine and healthy eating long enough to see results. I think once I can see results (like maybe losing a pant size) I will be more determined to continue.0 -
