Hey! I'm Tiffany. Looking to drop some pounds. My goal is 20lbs by the new year. I'm hoping that 10 weeks of T25 will take me there. I'm on my second day and so far I love it.
Stats
Age: 36
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 218
Goal: Lose 20lbs by 2015
Biggest obstacle: My work schedule (shift work/days and nights, 12 hour shifts)
I'm telling myself if I can't commit 25 minutes a day to lose weight than I don't deserve to. So I'm ready to FOCUS!

Right on Tiffany - glad to have you here! Are you going to start with some of the others (including myself) from Day 1 on the 20th? community.myfitnesspal.com/en/event/66-focus-t25-begins0

Hey all. I'm Ellie
Trying to get the last 10kg off (20ish pounds?). I started this time last year and lost 12kg by January. I know it'll be a little tougher that I'm a bit lighter, but I want it gone for good.
Starting stats:
Age:26
Height: 165cm (5'5'?)
Weight: 71kg
Goal weight: 60-62 kg
Biggest obstacle: university exams. My final exams are coming in mid November, so I thought T25 would be the best to fit in to my study schedule.
I'm hoping to be able to shift a clothing size by the end of the year, I think that's attainable
I've already got a little head start (this is my first week/first attempt) and just finished day 2 of speed 1.0

Hiya, I'm Nic and looking to lose about 10lbs, however my main target is to lose inches and body fat - weight is just an added bonus!
Stats:
Age: 45
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 126lbs
Goal weight: 116lbs
Biggest obstacle: portion control (especially pasta), staying focused and coming up with excuses as to why I can't manage a 25min workout!0 -
Hi Nic and Ellie - welcome to the group, it's great to have you with us! I forgot to mention that my name is Brandon. Look forward to kicking T25's butt with you all!!
I printed out the calendar and have it posted on my wall, I'm cooking up a bunch of chicken tonight to make my meal making easier this week and I threw a bunch of junk food away. I got this...0 -
Good for you for getting prepared. One of my problems is not eating enough fruit & veg and hardly any water. Don't really have a problem with junk food and I'm not bothered by biscuits or crisps, though over last few weeks I've been going through a craving for marshmallows which if I was on a fat free diet I wouldn't have a problem!

Marshmallows huh? Random! 0

Hi I'm Becca and just love working out. I have just finished a round of Insanity and have done my first week of T25 although happy to restart to join the rest of you.
Stats:
Age: 42
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 155lbs
Goal weight: it would be nice to lose a few pounds but it is not really my main goal.
Goal: To be super fit and able to complete the gamma stage of T25 which looks challenging - and be able to do lots of press ups properly.
Biggest Obstacle: I get hungry a lot so have to eat every few hours. I tend to eat healthily but I eat a lot.

Hey everyone....I'm new to MFP, but have been a long time user of Beachbody Products. I actually bought T25 a few months ago and have been using it off and on (once or twice a week) since then...I have not done the entire programs all the way through and this is as good a time as any to do so with this group.
I started MFP because after losing 50+ pounds over the last few years, this past year, I've quietly gained (thinking I was doing a good job maintaining - I did decent I think) about 20 and am very very disappointed about it. I knew I had gained a few, but didn't think it was 20!!! I stayed away from the scales, but after seeing a few pictures of myself and noticing clothes getting tight, I did and am ready to once again make the change! UGH!
Stats -
Age: 41
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 199
Goal: Lose 30 pounds (going to try 20 by Christmas!)
Biggest obstacle: As with everyone, time and schedule is challenging...I own my own business, have 2 very young boys and it's hard to be consistent. Next on the list of obstacles is food....I have a desk job and it's easy to snack throughout the night or day, EVEN if it's a healthy snack.0 -

Forgot to say name is Ken. 0 -
Hi all! My name is Leah, decided to start over T25 today being Day 1, after only getting 3 days in last week. I just completed a move from UK to US, so I fell off the wagon
. February to May of this year I completed P90X3 and got okay results. Did T25 for two weeks and got amazing results, so here I am again! I need accountability partners, so feel free to add me!
Stats
Age:23
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 150
Goal: 135
Biggest obstacle: Actually getting it done. I am lazy.0 -
Hi Ken and Leah - so awesome to have you guys/gals with us! Ken - I feel you with owning your own business, same here. Many would think owning your own business affords you more freedom and flexibility, which in some cases may be true, but I know your pain on STILL struggling to be consistent!
It's hard to keep routines with your own business because your business routine can change in a blink of an eye depending on what the business needs.
Leah - love the lazy admission.
Day 1 people - start strong!0 -
Right on Tiffany - glad to have you here! Are you going to start with some of the others (including myself) from Day 1 on the 20th? community.myfitnesspal.com/en/event/66-focus-t25-begins
I'm going to stick to my original schedule just because it fits in better with my work schedule. I'm off most weekends and would rather use those days to work out rather than rest days.0 -
Hey guys, I'm Becky! I couldn't start yesterday so I'm playing catch up today and doing two workouts. Cardio done.. Speed 1.0 later on.
Stats..
AGE: 26
HEIGHT: 5'6
WEIGHT: 128lbs
GOAL: I don't really have a goal weight, I'd like to lose some fat, gain muscle and just general fitness really. I have a pair of 'goal jeans' if that counts!?
BIGGEST OBSTACLE: Not gonna lie.. alcohol. I love a few beers to wind down after work!0 -
Hey all! I'm on week 3 day 2! LOVING T-25. I'm a busy full time working mom so the 25minute work out is perfect for me. I am not doing their meal plan or shakeology, but following my calorie intake here on MFP. Had a few slip ups as my weekends are my trouble spot, but get right back on track. I also wear a Fitbit One. I've lost 1.6lbs and close to 10 inches I think it was already. Not so much in the weight dept, but inches are going-which is great to see.
Stats:
Age: 45
HT: 5' 6.5"
Weight: 198.0
Goal: TBD
Biggest Obstacle: Weekends--dinners, drinks, etc.
Good Luck all!0 -
Hey all, Adam here. I'm a web developer by trade (own my own business as well), and I'm a software developer for my full time job. I started T25 yesterday, and am ready to ride it out. My biggest problem is that I brew my own beer at home, so am VERY susceptible to drinking every day. I love beer, crave beer, and always want to have a pint. It's a stress reliever as well, for me. But, so is running.
Stats -
Age: 33
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 210
Goal: To get down to 175 lbs; Complete my 25k; Train for 2 Full Marathons (October 2015, January 2016)
Biggest obstacle: Snacking and beer.
My ultimate goal is to get ripped, have a nice little 6-pack, and live until I'm EXTREMELY old, for my daughters.0 -

Hey everyone, if you haven't seen it yet, at the top of the group is "Announcements" (http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10007993/progress-tracker-check-in-here#Item_4). There is a link in there to a Google Document that you can "check-off" after you have done your workout. Click the link, bookmark it, check in every day!
Also, if there is anything you'd like to see in the Google Document, feel free to let me know, or aphello (Brandon), and we'll do our best to implement it in to the document. Some examples would be: Tracking weight and other measurements; Having the option to mark "Nailed It" or "Struggled", and having it track how often you're "nailing it" and how often you're "struggling". Graphing changes (not sure if that's available in Google Docs or not).0 -
Adam, yeah you can add Charts that dynamically update when data is placed. It looks like our numbers are increasing, so we have some names to update. If you can help me keep it tidy, organized and updated that would be awesome.
Victoria great to have you in the group!0 -
I'm down for making sure it's neat, tidy, and useful. The biggest part of that is ensuring everyone gives good, quality feedback on it, so I know what to change. I'll make a change right now to update all of the name fields dynamically based on the Alpha Week 1.
ALL NAMES ARE UPDATED!! KEEP ON LOGGING!0 -

Hello all! My name is Haley and I am a college student, I am trying to find the healthy balance between school, staying healthy and having fun all at the same time I don't know what my starting weight is and personally its not about losing lbs for me its about toning and losing inches so I am only using photo progress (meaning every week I will be taking a new set of photos to see how my body has been changing)
Stats
Age: 22
Height: 5'6.5'
Weight: I don't know what my starting weight is.
Goal: Toning/lose inches
Biggest Obstacle: Staying motivated!!!!!! and cookies, pizza & fries (lots of those foods in my dorm cafe)0 -
Haley! Welcome! We are excited to see your progress! Photo progress is a GREAT way to show how everyone can change using T25, not just those with pounds to lose. Inches and toning is a GREAT reason to keep yourself in peak shape.0
