Anyone else starting today? I decided I should keep track of my eating because the book that came with the DVD's didn't help me much :/. I did 21 day fix a few weeks back but gained what I lost back...so now I'm on to T25. I did watch over the first DVD and I'm kind of freaking out..it looks so hard! Anyway, one day at a time. Looking for anyone else who is starting today or recently to keep my accountable! Also, my fitness pal says I should only have 1200 calories but according to Shaun T I should be doing 1600. Which should I do?!

    I'm on Week 3 day 1. Love them, I'm all jello afterwards. :) And they are quick enough I can fit them in before going to work.

    I'm not sure about calories or about how many calories the videos actually burn, I'm logging them at 150 cals to be on the lower side but I don't count calories, I just watch my carbs.

    Oh and I wore my heart rate monitor and it said 230 calories so the Circuit Training exercise on here was pretty accurate!

    Hello! I started this past Monday (7/14) and I am really liking it so far (ok, not DURING the workout but afterwards I feel great!). I've stayed with the modifier a good percentage of the time. For those of you that have been doing it for a few weeks, do you find your ability to "keep up" has improved? I do wear my bodymedia LINK band during the workout and it tells me I burn between 130-180 calories per workout; I am 5'1 and about 140 lbs. so I am really hoping that's "normal" although I realize each body is different.

    I'm about to wrap up week 3 of Alpha tomorrow. My ability to keep up has improved greatly, I think a lot of that was getting used to the moves in the work outs, I'm not the most coordinated lol. Your calorie burn sounds about right, I found a calorie calculator online that I've been using and I'm getting higher numbers but I don't use the modifier very much. Glad you're enjoying it!!

    That's very encouraging to hear! Are you getting the results you were hoping for?

    Yeah I've been quite happy with the results I've been getting so far, I've really noticed it in my legs, they have a much better shape.

    Yesterday was my first day and boy was it difficult. I modified a generous amount of the workout and my legs were all jello-like. My left calf felt like it was going to have a "muscle spasm" in any given moment if I place my foot wrong. Still, I managed to do Day 2 of Focus T25 and this one was so fast. I saw a lot of posts mentioning the postures were key to the workout rather than the ability to keep up to pace. I hope so because I was doing modifications and definitely going at a slower pace! Let's hope I can finish Week 1 this week with more progress!

    I just finished week 2 Alpha Phase! This morning was a debate on whether to do it & get it over with or save if for the end of my day. Well at 5:30am I chose to do it put my all into it & complete the double workout. I'm happy I got it done. I feel good & I feel my clothes fitting differently even after only 2 weeks and it feels so good to sweat. I started out the week well until yesterday when the workout felt just a little bit harder but today I woke up refreshed, pushed myself and ready for week 3!

    xsueyy, keep going! I am in week 2 and can tell you I already improved from week 1!

    SamV53, So glad you made yourself get up and do it. I usually work out at 5:30am too, however, today, I slept in. I am hoping to get it in later tonight but I am debating on tonight or just adding the extra day on Saturday. I'm afraid if I work out tonight and do the double workout early tomorrow morning that my body will not like it.

    I agree with you that I already notice a difference in how my clothes is fitting and I love it!
