Holy cow day 1 was more difficult than I anticipated. Day 2 today and im not looking forward to it. My calves are killing me, and as it is I already have to do a 45min walk home after work before I can even think about doing the workout tonight. I know ill push through, just not looking forward to it. How is speed 1.0? What should I be expecting?
I am on week 3 day 4, if you ask me the speed 1.0 is the easiest video. Now.. I use the word "easiest" VERY lightly. It is still hard but out of all the video's that is the one I can keep up with best. He switches from cardio to stretch and I love it. It gets better! First week is the toughest!0 -
I'm happy to hear everyone is pushing through and getting it done!!
Sadly I went over my calorie goal by 200! last night :-( I was very disappointed in myself!! But today is a good day, I feel like I rocked the modified version of the cardio workout. It was my second time doing the cardio (w1 d5). The first time I had to keep stopping, today I was able to keep going and I could even do non-modified moves at times!! I've decided that I think I will break up the workouts for now, do one on Friday's and one on Saturday's, but I reserve the right to get motivated later this evening and do the lower body focus...0 -
Ugh, I hate weekends! I have such sucky eating habits on the weekends! I did get my workout in though so that's positive. Tomorrow is my weigh in day, even though I keep telling myself not to expect any changes so early in the game I'm secretly hoping there is!0

Good to know everyone is pushing through tmm would be day 5 for me double day but I'm restarting and having family and friends join hopefully we can finish it extra accountability is always good and I will probably have us do weekly check ins here to see how are progress goes0

Hi all! My t25 will be arriving tomorrow and I will make tomorrow my day 1!
As someone who never exercises, and is about 20 pounds over weight...any suggestions? I will not be sticking to the meal plan but I will be counting calories and keeping them under 1400 and eating as many raw foods as possible !0 -
Welcome Zuggi!! Your plan sounds good, the first step is pushing play then continuing from there, you can do it!!
Sad day for me :-( When I started a week ago I weighed in at 172 then on weigh in day yesterday I was down to 163.6, which made me super excited! Well I had a bad day of eating yestereday so I wanted to weigh myself today to see how it had affected things, the scale said 180!! I weighed myself several times, for the first three times it said 180, then it said 151, then 156...so now I'm pretty sure my scale's battery needs replaced. Our office has a scale so I stepped on it and it weighed me at 182. Now I have no idea what my starting weight really was and/or if I lost any weight last week. Guess I will start at 182 and go from there. I'm trying to be positive and think about how awesome I'm feeling. I was able to run around and play with the babies last night and I was able to jog up and down our office stairs without getting completely winded so obviously my stamina is increasing but it's still discouraging to find out that I actually weigh 180 pounds!!0 -
GM Everyone,
How is everyone doing? I am doing okay, but have already slipped up and didn't do the 2 workouts on Friday, just did one. At any rate, not giving up and going to keep pushing.

Don't get discouraged! If you're feeling better then you are doing great! I didn't see any results until week 3 so just keep pushing! And it's so awesome to hear that you can play with kids because than means you are not only doing awesome for you're own body but you are making others around you more happy too and that is always worth it
Keep at it and you will see results. I read somewhere that it takes 4 weeks to see results normally but in the grand scheme of things 4 weeks is a really short time! 0 -
I couldn't do the double day this week
I ran an 8k on Saturday so I didn't work out then and Sundays are supposed to be my double days but I could barely move I was so sore from the race! I still did the Total Body Circuit anyways so I was feeling pretty proud of myself for getting that done. I was going to get up this morning and do the other half (Abs) but I just couldn't get out of my bed. I'll try again after work. Hope everyone else is doing great and pushing hard! Lets do this!! 0 -

Wow, that's great; running 8k. Was that your first time running one? You got a serious workout on Saturday.0 -

Well, I didn't really prepare for this one aside from T25 and I did ok. But before I started I was running about 3 times a week for about 2 miles. I had to work my way up big time though because I have never been a runner. I started REAALLY slow I ran this 8k pretty slow too, I was at a 12 min/mile pace which.. is slow. But I crossed the finish line and ran (Slowly) the whole time. 0 -

Hey everybody! My wife and I are working through our 4th week of Alpha. Glad to to see so many other ppl doing T25 also.0

Hi Everyone. I started Focus T25 yesterday. This is my first BB series, but I'm very excited and can't wait to get off work and get home to put those 25 minutes in. I participated in a boot camp-style working out group a few months ago and that helped alot with my endurance. I'm really hoping this program can help me get down to my goal weight. I have about 25 pounds to lose.0

Hi everyone, just completed week 1 day 4 abs. I struggled so hard! Could barely keep up with Tania lol my Hr monitor said I burned 200 calories so at least I worked up a sweat. From going from zero exercise to this, I think I'm doing ok. My body is still so sore, it's making it hard to want to work out. Not looking forward to double tomorrow. Glad I found this group to keep motivated!0
-
Hey all, I also just completed week 1 day 4. I'm hoping you guys will give me the motivation to stick with it! I did insanity a year or so ago and saw great results, but I injured my foot doing it so I'm gonna try t25 first to hopefully build up strength and balance before I go back.0

Hello everyone! I'm new to posting on this site. I've started Focus T25 this week. I completed day three. I was rather clumsy and had to follow the modifier, but I like the way my muscles feel and look forward to the next workout. I have to follow the modifier alot, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it since I'm just starting out. I am a 52 y/o woman with about 25 pounds to lose. I'm so happy to have found this group!0

So I disappeared because I totally threw in the towl on Tuesday and was too ashamed to come back. But my coworkers kicked my butt and I'm working on making the time up..I did the workout yesterday and today! I figured if I was so ashamed to admit defeat then I'm not really ready to give up...it also helps that I'm noticing slight changes. I think the combination of working out and counting calories was what wore me down so I'm working out and then for my diet I'm watching portion sizes and what I'm actually taking in. It may be more than 1200 calories BUT it's less than what I normally would intake. Baby steps!!0

At least you got back into it, thats awesome! And that is what matters! And the portion sizes is important. I have been counting calories but don't get too stressed out if I go over because I know that although I go over I go over with healthy choices so its ok. I think that is what matters, making healthy decisions... speaking of...Its actually kind of funny that this was the first thing I read when I came to the discussion because I came here to confess that I totally fell off the band wagon with calorie counting and ate like CRAP today!!!! And I feel awful. I'm normally a healthy eater but I can't even tell you how bad I did today because its just too much to admit. I just had xero self control today. However! I did work out this morning (Lower focus) so that counts for something right?
UGH I feel like I need to go home and run 5 miles just to burn half of the calories I ate today.. 0 -
Hello everyone. I'm excited I found this support group! Tomorrow I am starting week 3 of Alpha. I am so happy with all the changes I'm seeing! I've lost weight and inches, my blood pressure and endurance are better. I'm sleeping better and have more energy. But most important I feel happier. I have been struggling with depression lately and I don't know if its the increased endorphins from working out or the sense of accomplishment and pride or what it is, but its definitely helping!0

Good Morning Everyone,
I am on week 3, Day 1 of Focus T25 and still going, whoop whoop. I have not done the 2 workouts on Friday as I am dead after one, how are you all doing? 0 -

That's exactly how I feel after what I call "binge eating" lol but don't worry it's only one day and I think as long as we realize that we have made a mistake and hold ourself accountable that's all that matters. And at least you did stay active by working out, that's worth something too!!0 -
Still going strong. Starting week 5 of Alpha on Wednesday. Today is supposed to be my rest day and I think I still want to go home and get a work out in. Thinking maybe cardio. The rest days make me feel lazy Not sure I'm really seeing any results, I'm scared to look because last time I did there were no changes and I felt discouraged. So I think I'm going to skip measurements this week and just take them next week at the end of alpha. I can't believe I have really been doing it for 4 weeks, doesn't feel like it at all. How everyone else is doing awesome!! Keep it up!! 0

Week 2 day 1 alpha cardio done. I pushed myself too hard in the beginning, so had to modify a lot. HR monitor said I burned 320 calories.0
