I just purchased Focus T25 from Beach Body. I am not ready to try Shakeology because of the mix reviews. My question is did anyone still receive great results with T25 without drinking Shakeology.

    Just saw the T25 commercial for the first time today. It seems reasonable. . .25 minutes. . . everyone can fit in 25 minutes!
    Let us know how it works.

    Completed our first session today. Not 100% convinced, as we're switching over from insanity for the time. We were both sweating at the end. A lot more gentle on the joints than insanity and I like the modifier, as my foot plays up a little.

    We're both hoping foe body changes and I want to lose weight (6lb in 4 weeks)

    But we'll stick with it for the 10 weeks, we live in the uk so shakeology isn't really available.

    What annoyed me was, we have paid £100 for the programme and as soon as rhe DVD is in the Xbox, shakeology advert plays. Reminds me of the Disney movies when I was a kid.

    Beachbody will be going to the UK real soon so you will be able to get Shakeology if you like! :) How is the workout going for you?

    I had great results from T25 without using Shakeology initially. I ultimately added Shakeology in and became a Coach so that I could get the discounts on Shakeology. I love it but realize it's a bit pricey for some people. As one of the other posters said, run a calorie deficit, follow the nutrition guide, and do the workouts and I think you'll see great results. I am a big proponent of Primal eating, I think if you get processed foods out of your diet that'll also help you see results.

    Also, if you are interested I've got a T25 New Year's Challenge Group going. Here is the link!

    I found that if you do two of the T25 workouts back-to-back it seems to be on par with Insanity. Keep in mind, Shaun T has stated multiple times that T25 was not meant to be another Insanity.

    It is going good. I am on week 3. I didn't lose much weight but losing inches. I have to use the modifier a lot. The 25 minutes goes by really fast. Shaun is a great motivator.

    I am just getting into week 7. I am down a little over 20 lbs but MFP only shows what I lost since joining. I am down at least one dress size and can see a huge difference in my midsection.

    I am only doing 1500 calories a day at most.

    So T25 without Shakeology definitely works

    FWIW, I'm on week 9 and might be just starting to lose some weight now. I lost some inches, but even that didn't start until the Beta phase when the weights were added in. The only real benefits I've seen so far have been increased endurance on the exercises (being able to keep up with the group longer before switching to modifier on certain exercises) and increased athleticism as far as range of motion, ability to do certain exercises, etc. I have a friend who is repeating the Alpha phase now because she didn't feel ready to go on to Beta and she did not see huge losses so far either. It's a good program if you are short on time and helps get you into a routine, but you may not see the huge weight changes unless you are very strict about keeping your calorie intake down.

    The program is OK, but I'm finding Alpha dull tbh. Has anyone skipped the rest of alpha and gone straight to Beta? I've done Insanity before and I was hoping this would be Insanity in 25 minutes, but its not - not enough press ups or burpeesfor it to be a full body toning workout.

    God help me, I miss level 1 drills!

    Keep at it. I wouldn't skip Alpha. Just finish it and keep going. Beta and Gamma get progressively tougher. Believe me you will get your burpees and your pushups soon. You will see results. I was skeptical, but follow the program. I saw a huge difference.

    I just got this yesterday and I'm excited to start it. I was trying to figure out how the workouts go... can someone please confirm:

    Alpha
    Beta
    Gamma
    Gamma Hybrid

    ?

    I'm currently eating 1,800-1,900 calories a day because I workout like a crazy person and still intend to do my regular workouts on my lunch hour at work. I was thinking of lowering to 1,650-1,750 because I want to see quicker results in my mid section - I had the pack going and got sick, so I'm super pissed off that I lost all that progress and am keeping my fingers crossed that I can get it back within the next month.

    Add me as a friend if you want to keep dibs on each other!

    I've been thinking about getting T25 for a while but I'm in the UK as well so Shakeology would cost me a fortune to buy. Is it like a protein shake or more like a meal replacement? Is there another product you could substitute for it?

    I have done Insanity and T25 without Shakeology and have had amazing results. You don't need that stuff to do the workouts.
