T25 for the new year! Lets GO!

Big boo's jbug5j!
I came looking for this thread hoping to see how you was getting on, don't stop! pick it back up monday at week three, keep going!!

It must have been the same time/day you stopped doing T25 the first time I ripped my calf and had to stop doing working, I had done P90x before so T25 being so sort I thought would be awesome and it was (although a lot more cardio than T25) I took a few weeks off working out, christmas/new year/couldn't walk!

Now P90x3 is out I've started out on that journey and today is my week 4 day 5, I'm really trying to push it, I hope you get back in to the workouts I know the feeling when I realized I could suddenly do push ups unaided and then last week I could do a chin up and a pull up!

ok I can only do one or two pull up / chin ups but it's a start right?

A little discourged. I am on Day 3 of week 4 and am only down 6 lbs total. I was hoping to be down more by now :-( I have a lot to lose so I figured the first bit would come off faster!
I never skip workouts and I stay at my calorie goal each day. Hopefully it will pick up soon.

I only lost 6 pounds total for all of alpha round (finished it yesterday). Don't be discouraged, that's still a great loss! A pound or a little more per week is totally healthy and sustainable. I will admit that I had been thinking it would come off a bit faster as well since I also have a good bit to lose, but I think if we just keep at it we'll start seeing the changes. I hear that Beta and Gamma is where it really starts to pick up, so I'm hoping that's true in our cases

Hey guys, I could use some advice.

I just wrapped up my 3rd weeks of T25. The first two weeks were great. I had tons of energy, was feeling awesome after the workouts, and though I have only lost about 1lb, I've really toned up. In addition to this, I play full-court basketball once a week in an intramural league and usually also either go for a Hike once a week or play half-court bball as well. For some reason, I just felt really burned during week 3. The energy just hasn't been there, I don't feel as strong as I did the previous two weeks, and I've also started getting shin splints. I really don't want to take a break from this and lose the momentum I had the first two weeks. I have been using C4 before workouts and Shakeolgy after work outs.

Some stats about me: I'm a 28 year old male, 5'8 and 190lbs --- it sounds like a heavy weight, but I'm more on the muscular side, but I do still need to lose some pounds. My target weight is 175. I was at that weight 6 months ago when I got married, but as a newlywed, my wife and I went on a binge of eating out and it derailed that ideal weight I was at. I'm not following the meal plan or counting calories, but for the most part I eat healthy as I cook most of my meals and eat a good amount of lean meat. Every Friday my wife and I split a bottle of red wine and a frozen pizza. That's typically our only "cheat meal", although we also cheated during the Superbowl. I probably could drink more water, but I drink about 5-8 glasses a day. Maybe closer to five glasses a day.

Does anyone have any advice on boosting my energy and protecting my shins? Any general advice on something I'm missing would be appreciated as I'm not really a fitness buff.

Thanks all.

I would say to make sure you're eating enough. Since you don't count calories it may be hard to tell, but you may want to take a look at your BMR on an online calculator just to have an idea--that's the amount of calories your body needs just to function, make your organs work, etc. so you need to make sure you aren't eating below that. That could be a factor in your energy levels.

As far as the shin splinting, I'm not really sure… you could try following Tania for a few days and doing the low impact modifications and see if that helps?
