Hi! I just got my T25 and will be starting it in June...would love to find people on a similar timeline to help keep each other motivated and accountable! I'm a 21 year old female with about 20 pounds to lose :)

    I may be... I will be finishing up 21df and will be ready to start on June 1st, but not sure if I'm going to do T25 or Les Mills Combat next. (got a good deal for both on Ebay). I'm somewhat a beginner-- 21df was my first ever "program"... Not sure which will give me better results for beginner type shape..

    Well good luck and let me know what you decide! It would be great to have someone to do it with!

    Hey!

    I'm in! I've been doing the workouts here and then for a few weeks but haven't been able to dedicate to the program for work reasons. Yeah, I know it's only 25 minutes but then there's also the buffer needed for eating (for me I need at least an hour after eating before I do the workout, then another 30min cool down before I can eat after). And trying to fit in a shower. But things get better in June, so I might as well just count what I've done so far as "practice" and officially start over in June. I'll probably do six days a week instead of the two-a-day on the 5th day.

    I'm a 32yo woman trying to lose 5-10lbs but mainly looking to get toned and stronger and lose some belly fat.

    Count me in too. I have already lost quite a bit of weight. I still have about 30 pounds left to loose.
    I bought T-25 about a month ago, put it on the shelf in my office, and it has been RIP'ing ever since.
    Sometimes, I get all "fired up" by the infomercials and realize, "Already bouggghhhht it" and yet it still remains unloved- LOL!!
    Hopefully, this group will help me open the box up and then T-25 can help me get these last 30lbs off!!

    Awesome ladies! I'll probably be doing it 6 times a week as well instead of the double Friday and my schedule might be a little wonky the first couple weeks because of some family events, but I'll be doing them all regardless and hopefully we can all help each other out!

    Does anyone know how we enter the calorie counting for T-25????
    I can't find anything in the exercise database, but I suspect this may be due to "user error" LOL :-)

    I would probably count it as just cardio/circuit training, but there's no real accurate way to know without a heart rate monitor. I use the TDEE method so I don't log my exercise so can't help too much!

    I log my activities in my Jawbone Up app, so unfortunately I don't know for sure. I usually log them as cross-training or cardio depending on the workout.

    I'm also starting this week! I'm 5'3 170 lbs. 45 in waist. Can't wait to get fit. I've got lots of skinny clothes just sitting in a bin waiting to be worn again! I'm also going to try the green coffee pills. I read great reviews on amazon. Hopefully between the t25 and the green coffee and watching calorie intake, I'll be thinner in no time!

    So glad we'll all be working together! After looking at my schedule for the next couple weeks, I think I'm actually going to be starting on Friday (May 30th) so that I can fit in the first week before I go out of town for the first weekend of June, and then I'll probably get back on track with a Monday start the following week :)

    Looking forward to starting this! I may start on 5/31 because I have to work pretty late on 6/1 so I may not be able to get it in.

    Yeah, after looking at my calendar, I think I might actually be starting on Friday, May 30th instead - I'm going out of town next Thursday-Sunday so I want to be able to get the first week in without doubling up unnecessarily.

    We are also going out of town for five days in June for vacation. I'm still debating whether I'll just repeat that week or if I'll take the program with me. We'll be staying with family and I'll have some time everyday where I could workout. Plus it will make me feel better about all the food and wine!

    Okay, today is day one for me! I will be doing it after I get home from work, so I have a few hours to mentally prepare myself ;) I think I'm going to just continue posting in this thread every day after I complete the workout, so feel free to do the same if you want!

    I'm planning on starting it on Monday as well! I have worked out on and off in the past and started T25 last week but sprained my ankle and took the week off. I want to start fresh with it in June! I'm 24 and want to lose 10-15 pounds.

    Welcome :) Hope your ankle heals well and quickly!

    I did day 1 - cardio today...wow. It's fast! I followed Tanya for the majority of it doing the modified moves or something in between the modified and regular moves and was able to keep up for the most part, but it took me a few seconds to figure out what we were doing sometimes! Good luck everyone!

    I just ordered this last night. Should receive it sometime this week. Would love to have some friends also doing the workout for accountability.

    I'm starting June 5th...it works best with my schedule...I did the first 3 weeks in March and then I went on vacation-with full anticipation to do it daily-I even took a mini DVD player with me lol...but I didn't. I loved it then, so I hope doing it during the summer will workout...:)

    Hi! I'm Ashlea, and I'm starting T25 today! I've had the program since January, and have done each disc of the Alpha, yet never done it consistently like the program suggests. I start the program, then skip days, or just fall off the wagon all together. I have been so frustrated with myself for getting as badly as I've been. I used to be very fit, and had no problem tracking food & exercising everyday. But now I'm just...unmotivated. Yet it's on my mind constantly how I want to do it! Ughh.

    Anyways, I'd love to join you guys! I have about 10-15 pounds to lose, and I'd love to be one of those people with killer before and after pics! I don't need to find my 'motivation,' I need to just DO IT already!

    Cynpin, I'm going on vacation in about a week and waffle between taking the discs and not. I'd feel better if I exercised, but I don't get a real vacation very often!

    Welcome Ashlea! Hope you had a rockin day 1.

    Purpose, I'm not really sure. I log them as cross-training in my Jawbone.

    All right! Day 2, Speed 1.0 complete!

    I had every intention but when we got to our resort our AC wasn't working and the room was really hot for the first 4 days and I just gave up...I was then on vacation for 4 weeks and never even looked at it. the great thing about this is if you miss one day you can double up somewhat easily but I like to do these programs straight through and often stop if I have a 'break'...in hindsight I'd be much better if I'd just picked up again when I was back from the sunny hot destination :( I think i have OCD about doing things in order lol

    Some things came up for me over the last couple days so I haven't been able to do it since Friday, but day 2 for me will be tonight - Speed 1.0 here I come! Might double up since I'll be leaving town and won't be able to do it Friday-Sunday, but I'll have to wait and see how I'm feeling. Good luck everyone!!
