I am starting my first round tomorrow morning. Can't wait to start feeling better. I get a 3 month break from nursing school and I have been inactive and eating too much for 2 years. Looking forward to encouraging each other. Does anyone know of any challenges. What is everyone's take on Shakeology?
I am also starting t25 week 3. My weight is staying the same, but definitely gaining muscles and losing inches. I wish I wasn't so fixated on the number on the scale, I am working my *kitten* off every workout and doing two a day somedays. Scale won't budge. My diet is around 1300 calories a day so it's in check. I know it's working just frustrating to not be dipping Not a specialist, but aren't 1300 calories too little for a man?! The absolute minimum for women is 1200 and this is if you do nothing all day long. And from reading a lot on the matter (as I too am blocked on the scale from not eating enough), I'd recommend you doing some additional looking into it. I'd recommend the Eat, Train, Progress group (link http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/10118-eat-train-progress) - they have some great posts with tons of explanations and they do offer advice to anyone who needs it. That's kinda what I was leaning towards, body is probably holding onto fat thinking I am starving it. as I track my food and exercise through my apps, my calories go up. So some days my programs want me eating 2000 calories but damn that's hard to do. I feel way too full after like 1500 I can't imagine 2000 I will check out that group thanks! If you eat 1300 calories... I think you are starving. Even if you're not feeling it - you get used to it... But yeah... definitely look into it and ask for advice in the group. Good luck!

Did anyone else start with the modifier version (i.e., follow Tanya <g>)?
I did all of Alpha last year before I had a minor surgery...but the healing from that took FOREVER and I fell off the wagon for awhile. I climbed back on last month and started doing well again. I just finished week one of Alpha (again) today. Are y'all following the calorie advice/nutrition stuff? I don't have any of that since I'm borrowing from a friend...I try to keep my intake under 1600 a day, but don't freak out if I'm over (up to 1800). Here's hoping I can stick through this round. :-)
Did Dynamic Core yesterday- omg, i was bored with that workout . Barely burned any calories. It was plank, abs, plank abs.... zzzzzzzzz ETA: so far my fav. workout in Beta is Speed 2.0- love the moves ,love the music
Just finished my 2nd round of T25...but I'm continuing through with Beta to stay in top shape!
I'm going to start the T25 challenge on 5th May (assuming it arrives in time). One of my concerns is that everyone seems to be focussing on their waist, hips and thigh measurements. However, as well as needing to lose inches and tone there too, I also have VERY flabby bingo wings from previous weight loss, so now I'm concerned that they won't get toned. When I've lost weight/toned up in the past my waist and hips will fit into a size 8 or 10, but there have been occasions where I've had to buy tops in a 12 or even 14 cos they're so big! Just for the record, I measure myself on the first day of every month and looking back at my records, when I was 14lbs lighter, my arms only went down by 1/2 inch.
