Hi all!

I was on MFP in summer 2013. I managed to achieve my weight loss of 5kg (down to 60kg) in a month by eating well and walking lots. Since then I've had a baby and quit work. My focus was eating as much was needed to feed my baby, and now that has passed I've found I've put on 10 kg. Being at home with my little girl is amazing but apart from housework I don't get any exercise so don't know how to lose the weight. I discovered T25 and have taken all my measurements, the DVD is ready to play, I just need to start! I've never really exercised and so am anxious about how tough this is going to be. My goal is to get back to 60kg within 2 months by my daughters 1st birthday. Would love some support along the way and to meet any others who are doing T25!

Thanks : )

    I'm restarting after a long lay off with injury today too...been a serious exerciser in the past. Not done T25 but dabbled with Insanity - Shaun T is great :-)

    My sister did insanity and it looked like torture!! Looking forward to seeing results! Hope your first day back in the game goes well!

    Yay! You will love the results! Don't stress yourself if you are using the modifications a lot - I was too to start out (in fact even a little towards the end of Alpha) and got brilliant results!

    I'm just into my second week of Beta now. Stick with it, it's exciting to see your body change x

    I'm doing T25 at the moment and can't recommend it highly enough. I'm in the first week of beta and it can be tough to get through at first if you don't exercise much but it's worth it for the results. If you focus on getting a bit better each time and doing more than you could before then you will be set. Good luck :).

    I'm going into week 6 of insanity. I absolutely love Shaun t as a fitness instructor. I really started noticing a difference after about 3 weeks in endurance and overall physical appearance.

    Good work! Sounds like it's going really well for you and I take my hat off to anyone doing Insanity!! Here's hoping I notice something in a few weeks too : )

    I could "see" on each Stat Day Saturday that I was losing inches but honestly I didn't see it in myself until I took my progress pics at end of Alpha and I was so shocked how different I looked!

    I agree it's tough to keep going at first but once you are seeing the results that motivation goes up and also it does become routine/habit after a while thank god! X

    I'm doing T25 for the second time right now. I don't remember my results last time, it was over a year ago. But I loved it enough to do it again. I just did my first day of Beta and took measurements yesterday. I lost 1.6 lbs during Alpha and 1.25 inches. My starting weight was 149 and I'm 5'5 so that probably has a lot to do with why I didn't lose much. I'm also not following the nutrition plan, just doing the workouts everyday.

    Patricia I only just started on Monday so not sure if I'm losing anything. For someone who has never exercised before it's not actually too bad, and with the eating plan I'm definitely feeling better already!

    It's good to know you can get results without following the diet plan because I don't think I'll be able to stick strictly to it all the time. And even tho it was a small loss, it's all relative and you still worked for it well done!! Good luck with it second time around!

    I'm doing insanity, but I'd like to try t25 for days when I am really strapped for time.

    Laura how did you log your workouts? I can't seem to find any on here, or how to workout how many calories I burnt

    Pm how long does insanity take? T25 is a good short burst but still gets you working all over

    I am doing T25 as well. Just started the 2nd week of Alpha. I have done Insanity in the past, and I think T25 is a little easier on the joints. There is definitely not as much jumping involved. Also, Shawn T has a modifier (Tanya) in all the videos in T25. Its nice to switch between Shawn and Tanya when I am feeling out of it. Good luck!

    I have a HRM so I just create new workouts for each different one.

    It's a 63 day challenge. The first month are about 40-45 minutes long. The second month are all around an hour. I am on my third day of the second month, and these are whipping me into shape so fast.

    Hi! I am on my second week of t25. Decided to start logging food today, to keep myself accountable. I am not eating the meal plan. Would love to find some workout buddies!!

    I am in my first week of T25 myself, as I did two months of Turbo Fire and needed a change. I have seen HUGE improvements in just these few short days. I don't follow the eating plan in the book as I also have to worry about feeding the hubby and kiddo and they are picky eaters. I do however watch what I eat and use MFP to log my food. I would highly recommend taking measurements as the scale can be a pesky "set back" if you don't see the results you want in weight loss... you'd be surprised by the inches lost. Feel free to add me, I try to log into MFP daily! Good luck on your journey!

    Feel free to add me. On first week of t25. Already seeing improvements. I can do active stretches without teetering. Quads getting stronger:-) I feel I can do this!! No excuses to not at least invest 10 weeks in myself. Excited to see what will change!!

    The more I hear about other people using T25 the more positive stories I'm hearing!
