Hi Everyone!

I'm Jess, and from the UK. I'm wanting to lose my last 10 or so pounds of baby weight! Recently just completed the first week of Focus T25, and boy was it hard!

Looking to make MFP friends to just get the extra bit of motivation :)

    Found it really hard but I still dug deep and was determined not to give up! Today is Staturday...I was a little disheartened to see I didn't lose any weight, but on the other hand I have got inch loss :)

    T25 is one of my favs completed it last november alpha through to gamma, the losses will come i lost 14lbs doing t25. Currently doing another workout called TapOutXT which is mainly strength with some cardio, looking to hybrid with t25 for an extra calorie burn. My favourite workout was speed 2.0 its great 25 minutes just flys by, both feel free to add i'm a daily logger and like to help motivate my friends

    Hiya, I've just completed my first week of T25 too & also from UK and got between 10 and 14lbs to lose.

    I found it hard work - especially Lower focus (didn't like that at all!), but I am enjoying it and looking forward to see what results I get next week. I measure my self on first weekend of every month and lost 1.5lbs since last Saturday, so quite happy. Feel free to add me.

    Hi!i'm starting Beta tomorrow! i've lost so far 4,5 kg during alpha !
    dont feel discouraged,everybody is different,maybe the next week you will see major differences.
    Are you drinking enough water?the toxins your body burns leave the body trough your liver and kidneys so they need water to do that,drink AT LEAST 1,5L of water everyday.
    For hydration,your muscles need it in order to work properly ,and you may have water weight if you haven't drink enough water,and all you need to lose that is drinking water.

    Feel free to add me :)

    also,during my first and second week i was absolutely terrified of the workouts because i knew what was coming and how hard it would be and literally had to force me to do it,but in the end i would feel so proud of myself,because i knew that if wanted change i needed to do something different. try to think that way,in the 3rd week you will feel much more empowered and wanting to do it,and feeling awesome after knowing that you can do it.

    when you see changes you will want more and more trust me :)

    Go hard at it!

    I really want to do T25, has anyone done Insanity & T25?
    Which is better!

    I've done them both they are both ace, if i had to pick it would be t25 it's shorter but most of what it misses out is a warm and a stretch actual workout time is about the same as month one of insanity there is a lot less plyo and drills that you get in insanity.
    I got great results with both, i would say if you're more advanced you probably get more from insanity if your new or looking for a more fun workout then t25

    Hi - first day here and first day trying T25. My question is.... does it really matter what time of day you do it? Is morning more beneficial? I'm looking forward to this journey.

    Sometimes i was doing it at night,the results were exactly the same,you do whenever you feel like it.but not to close to bed time or a meal,your stomach might be upset during the workout,wait at least 45 minutes.

    Thanks so much. I will start it tonight, but from now on I will do it in the morning. It's more convenient in the morning anyway. Just have to get my butt out of bed a little earlier! Thanks again!!

    Thoroughly understand the comments it summed up my attitude too. I also did a lot of modification at the start and still felt exhausted. Beta is just such good fun compared to Alpha.

    I posted the results to my alpha here at the weekend, hope it encourages people to keep at it. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1283633-small-steps-and-t25-alpha-complete-sort-of?page=1#posts-19951767

    Just make sure you enjoy it. Feel free to add me as a friend.
