  • small piece of dark chocolate or a scoop of chocolate protein powder in almond milk? I do that occasionally if I'm REALLY craving something sweet. I blend a scoop of choc protein powder, 1 cup almond milk, half a banana and some ice. Depending on your powder, the whole mix together can be less than 200 calories

  • Ohh that's exciting! I have signed up for my 1st in June. My hubby, cousin, AND father have all been doing them for the past 3 years. They managed to convince me to sign up this year. Though I have yet to run my first, I've gotten lots and lots of advice from them (almost more than I want). They talked about not working…

  • Thanks for the reminder! Was feeling very frustrated by the up-tick on the scale this morning. I constantly have to remind myself that there will be fluctuations and it's okay to not be perfect in the eating/ exercising department!

  • I'm pretty similar to your measurements, 5'2, 136 lbs. I've been counting calories and working out 5 days a week. It's a good week when I lose a full lb, but on average lost .5 - .8 lbs in a week. Maybe try to do 1 lb a week for 16 weeks so you don't get discouraged off the bat and fall off the plan you've set for yourself?

  • Peanut butter Easter eggs are totally my downfall too! I bought them KNOWING full well that I wasn't going to be able to resist temptation. I guess they're worth exercising the extra 10 minutes to burn them off??

  • I thought T25 was a great intro and lead up to something more intense. I switched over to Insanity and love it, though I think I would have gotten frustrated early on if I hadn't started with T25 to acclimate my body to the exercises

  • I'd be happy to join the challenge if it hasn't started yet. I finished T25 last week and just started with Insanity on Monday. Wouldn't mind some group motivation!

  • I'm on my second week of the Beta workouts. I really liked the Alpha since it's pretty fast movements but only for a total of 25 min so I didn't feel like I was losing my day or had an excuse not to do it. I got bored by the end of the 5 weeks but it was just in time to start on the Beta round. So far I really like the…

  • Also following this thread as a fellow "shorter" person. I'm 5'1" and currently weigh 143 lbs (which fluctuates as high as 147). Goal weight is between 115-120 lbs. I've started eating healthier and exercising using T25 6 days a week. I'm extremely curious to hear about others' success stories and how they were able to…
