Food diary is now open. I've back been on MFP for quite a few weeks now (but had computer probs, so unfortunately it only shows last 10 days), but for the majority of that time I was in deficit. I started T25 on 5th May and at first I tried to do the inital 5 day kick start eating plan, but it wasn't always practical, so…

MFP has me down to have 1200 cals (some class that as a bit low but I'm 5'1" and only have 14lbs left to lose) but I'm not losing weight despite eating healthier, excercising and being in deficit. Would you advise that maybe eat my full daily allowance and any exercise that I do be my cal deficit? Also, if I haven't eaten…

Thanks for that. At the moment I've been under my allowance cos of the exercising I'm doing, but just as I was about to post them the other day - when I was over - I remembered that I hadn't logged it down, so I actually ended up in credit.

I'm in too, could do with some motivation. SW - 8st 10 1/2 lbs (It might've been more but can only see up to 1 year back) CW - 9st 2 1/2 lbs GW - 8st 11 1/2 lbs (for May) I'll be weighing in on a Thursday - just in case I go out on a Friday night. laugh Thurs 1/5 - 9st 2 1/2 lbs Thurs 8/5 - 9st 1 3/4 lbs Thurs 15/5 - 9st 2…

Thanks, I'll have a look into that.

I can't get to a gym, but do have some dumbells, gym ball, resistance band and kettle ball. Are there some exercises that I could do at home that would maybe have the same effect as going to a gym? Thanks

I started exercising last week doing Focus T25, and though I was working really hard, was out of breath, sweating buckets and sometimes couldn't keep up, I wasn't hurting the next day. Does this mean I wasn't working hard enough, cos it sure felt like it?

After my son went off to school I went back to bed cos didn't sleep well last night (and don't work on Mondays). Anyway, after the disappointment from this morning, when I got up a couple of hours later, I decided I'd weigh myself again to see if scales were accurate (which before now I've weighed myself 3 times in a row…

Thanks to both of you. I do make sure I have a couple of glasses of water before I workout so don't get dehydrated. I guess the amount I'm sweating afterwards is just taking it out of my system so will need to take a few afterwards too. I sooooo love water - not!

If I start drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day (which I haven't been doing), would that help in the meantime, or is that basically long term? Just thinking about weigh ins later on in the week, that's all.

Sounds lovely! :smile: Anyway, I was just about to edit when saw your post (BigT555). What I had last night was a medium jacket potato, 200g baked beans (which some class as protein too, but I don't), 2 slices of mozzerella cheese (which obviously isn't carb) and a leek. It doesn't sound like a good combination but the…

Hiya, I've just completed my first week of T25 too & also from UK and got between 10 and 14lbs to lose. I found it hard work - especially Lower focus (didn't like that at all!), but I am enjoying it and looking forward to see what results I get next week. I measure my self on first weekend of every month and lost 1.5lbs…

I started on 5th too but haven't had opportunity to get access to internet till today. Anyway, I'm loving it, though so far found Tuesday (Speed 1.0) the hardest - it took nearly 2hrs for me to cool down and get back to a normal colour. I like the fact that we are encouraged to weigh and measure ourselves each week to keep…

Blackpool here - well roundabout.

I'm in too, could do with some motivation. SW - 122.5 (It might've been more but can only see up to 1 year back) CW - 128.5 GW - 123.5 (for May) I'll be weighing in on a Thursday - just in case I go out on a Friday night. :laugh: Thurs 1/5 - Thurs 8/5 - Thurs 15/5 - Thurs 22/5 - Thurs 29/5 - Final weigh in - 31/5 TOTAL…

Thanks. Think will see how I go at Alpha then, and if think I'll be able to cope, I might do the Insanity one that has most arm exercises on a couple of days too, cos they're on display more than legs and hips and I'm more conscious of them.

I've done a few days of Insanity and noticed that there are a lot of planks and push ups. Is T25 like this and if not, would you advise that I maybe to a few days a week of Insanity as well as T25 to help tone my arms up?

I'm going to start the T25 challenge on 5th May (assuming it arrives in time). One of my concerns is that everyone seems to be focussing on their waist, hips and thigh measurements. However, as well as needing to lose inches and tone there too, I also have VERY flabby bingo wings from previous weight loss, so now I'm…

I literally just ordered it 5 mins ago after reading all the reviews, so count me in!

I've got a stationary bike and do have a bit of resistance on it and can burn approx 400+ cals (according to MFP) per 40 mins, but I do do it at a fast pace. MFP has put me down for 1200 cals, so maybe that's why I burn so many, to be honest I'm not sure how it all works. Anyway, I find that having my music on quite high…

Sorry meant to ask, what do you log the exercises as? Thanks.

I did the first proper workout today & my son told me afterwards that I looked like I'd just come out of a swimming pool. I'm so glad that each exercise is only 30secs cos don't think could last any longer! Despite not being able to keep up, I did enjoy it though. Good luck for tomorrow, I'm sure you're fitter than you…

Well found my motivation to stay on track. Some of my colleagues overheard me talking to someone about the dvds & I've been told that have to report my progress to them at end of each week cos they're interested to see if it's as good as people say it is. Haven't decided yet whether this is a good thing or bad thing, time…

I'm 5'1" & at the moment I weigh 128lbs & would ideally like to get down to approx 110. I'm a pear shape & carry all extra weight on hips & thighs, so to me I think I look like I weigh more than I do. I don't tell anyone that I'm on a diet anymore cos people say same thing to me - you're skinny, and all the rest. So now I…

OMG - I did the Fit Test earlier and had no idea how out of shape I was! I do a lot of walking so thought my legs were in pretty good shape, boy was I wrong. Must admit was dreading today. Just the thought of having to do it by myself and not really having anyone to answer to like you do in a class, didn't really motivate…

Hi I'm starting tomorrow too, was supposed to be last night, but didn't have time in the end. I need support to keep me going when the going gets tough. Feel free to add me.

Hi I've got an under-active thyroid too and want to lose just under 1 stone and finding it a nightmare. I've just joined again today after a few months off, lots of comfort eating not helping the situation. Feel free to add me if you want some support.

Hi, I'll join you. I was supposed to start yesterday but didn't have the energy and haven't got time today, so was planning on starting it tomorrow too. I lasted 2 weeks on it in October last year, something came up and never got back into it, so I could do with the support too.
