    Week 5 day 3 done!!! I wimped out and modified almost every high impact move due to my teeth, cheeks and gums still being sore from getting crowns yesterday

    I sure could tell that I only ate 1400 calories yesterday, TBC was HARD!! Tomorrow is dodgeball, Friday TBC and Saturday will be the cardio I was supposed to do on Thursday and then......... BETAAAAAAAAAA. Which looks hard

    Wow, good for you for doing it at all! I will be away next week so I am glad I will be coming back to one more week of alpha instead of jumping right into beta.

    Thanks, if I had any weightloss in the past 5 weeks I probably would have easily just avoided this workout lol

    The last week of alpha has 3 total body circuits and Friday is total body AND lower focus.... Not exciting to come back to lol

    Today is only Week 2, Day 4 for me, so don't mind me coming in this thread a bit late. I'll just be sitting at this table way back here.

    Week 4 D4 for me today. I'm happy to say I've been following the schedule mostly (my rest day ends up unintentionally being on Friday sometimes) but I've been loving the burn. I haven't had super crazy weight loss, just four pounds. But I've lost inches in conjunction so combined it's a decent loss on the program. Next week I finish Alpha, on to the 21 Day fix, then back for Beta. I wish I knew this thread existed also since that was my start date!

    3 in one week. Ugh. That is just cruel and unusual punishment. I see much procrastination in my future. lol I'll have to remind myself, its only 25 minutes.

    Dodgeball tonight!! My parents will be in the city tomorrow and they invited me to red lobster for supper so maybe I'll have to do cardio and lower focus on Saturday

    This weekend I'll be checking my body fat % and measurements...... I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst

    I'm excited for beta, until I start working out that is lol

    Good job! My parents are in the city and I don't have enough time between work and supper to do my last day of alpha so I will be doing it tomorrow (I'm sure I'll gain 4 lbs by tomorrow morning)

    TBC and Ab Intervals done. I struggled with Abs, if I get up too fast for the cardio recovery I always feel a bit dizzy and today was slightly worse because of TOM, so I had to hit pause a few times. Nevermind :)

    Just finished the stretch video after some Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones and I feel awesome. Week one of Beta done! No weight loss in the first week, but some inches movement. I wasn't eating the greatest (thanks a lot, leftover Super Bowl party cheesecake!) so hopefully next time I weigh in I'll see some movement. Even if I lose five pounds total with Beta, that will put me in the 160s for the first time in ages and I will be thrilled. :)

    Hi all, I have been a member of myfitnesspal for some time but never posted! Our T25 just arrived yesterday and My wife and I are planning on starting Monday(tomorrow)! My question is that I see everyone says they wanna join the T25 group. Is it on this topic that were in now or is there an actual group that we join? I need much motivation as possible to succeed!

    Thanks,
    Tony

    I'm starting Beta tomorrow! I'm pretty excited to have some new workouts, and I am all too happy to say goodbye to total body circuit... I heard the second month is much more strength-based, so I'm worried I won't be burning many calories, but we'll see.

    I hear you on the Total Body! I hated it so much. As for calories burned, I burn more with Speed 2.0 than with any of the other T25 workouts. Upper Focus and Dynamic Core are not as high, in the same way that ab intervals was in Alpha.

    Today is Aldo say 1 of beta for me! I'm hoping to see results. If not, I think I will cry and go to the doctor!!

    Maybe someone here can offer advice

    My TDEE-25%=1900ish

    Is this what I'm supposed to be eating? My bmr is 1600ish

    From what I've read on the interwebz TDEE-25% is pretty aggressive but it really depends on how you feel about it.

    (I can't believe I have only ONE Total Body Circuit left... I'm almost crying. I'm pretty sure I'll find something else to hate in Beta, though. Just reading "Upper focus" makes my arms burn.

    well TDEE - 20% is 2000 calories... I haven't eaten that many calories in..... like 3 years, since before I tried to lose weight!

    I accidentally skipped my last TBC and lower focus. Got busy on Friday with my parents and my bf ended up not having to work so we spent time together and I fell asleep on the couch Sunday for like 3 hours and ran out of time...

    Good luck! It gets easier

    That is awesome that you're nailing it!!! I can tell I have built endurance and strength because I was doing the burpees in core cardio but nowhere near nailing anything lol

    You made me laugh cause last week I was saying that of all the workouts, I totally hate the total body. To my surprise, I started week 5 and total body on Monday, and I actually found total body so much easier than previous weeks, that I can say that I like the workout. Whao!

    YAY! I've finished Alpha!

    I'll take some measurements tomorrow.

    I haven't lost any weight, but that's MY fault. Long story short, I had too many cheat meals (80% of them unwanted) that negated my small calorie deficit. I will definitely try to adjust my intake in March: the next two weeks will be hectic for me, I may even have to skip a few workouts and I don't want to add more stress. Plus, I've been switching to a new birth control pill and maybe my body needs some time to adapt.

    Anyway, I'm definitely seeing more definition (especially in my arms) and, most of all, I FEEL better. I was super out of shape and I nearly died after my first cardio, now I can finish every workout with only a few modifications.

    Thank you all guys even if if you probably think you did nothing, without this group I would've fallen off the wagon a while ago :flowerforyou:

    I can't wait to start Beta!

    That's impressive. I think the way I WAS progressing I would have had a similar experience but regretfully I took 2 weeks off instead of one and starting week 5 with total body circuit with that much time off was do-able but boy did I feel it. Hopefully by the end of the week I will be back to where I was so I can jump into beta with confidence.

    After Day 1 of Beta I had to take a short break because of lower back pain. I'm terrible at sitting down properly and basically I injured myself while studying! I kept myself active with some walking and stretching, I hope to get back to 100% soon :)
    Core Cardio was a blast anyway. I love the new moves! :flowerforyou:

    Hey everyone :) I'm on my second week of Beta and really prefer it to Alpha. Probably because there's strength training, which I've always preferred to cardio. Speed 2.0 is no joke, though! It was nice to feel sore again, I always get concerned when I'm not sore after working out hard, like I didn't do quite as much as I thought I did, know what I mean? The calorie burn for me in Beta is less than Alpha though (my calorie burn is lower than most for some reason, I'm usually happy to break 200 in any given workout), I'm guessing because there's less cardio overall in Beta so I'm hoping the lack of burn evens out with muscle building.
