  • Just popping in to say you ladies are singing my theme song!!! I just decided I can't do 1200 anymore. Sticking at more like 1400 and trying not to eat back all exercise. I am 5'6", 142, want to be 135 (pre-pregnancy weight). Been trying like forever! My body just seems to have a really strong "set point" at 142, if you…

  • In my experience alpha gives you more fat burn, I feel like beta gives more muscle. I don't think doubling up would kill you. But don't crazy and injure yourself, slow down if your body says to right?
    in anyone at goal weight doing t25? Comment by stephanj September 2013
  • Hi! Halfway through beta. I would say I can tell that my muscle ratio on my body has increased. No great weight loss lately but my eating has been terrible so the fact I have maintained is great lol.
    in how's everyone doing? Comment by stephanj September 2013
  • I am in! I actually have three more weeks of T25 beta left, but I want to double it up with JMBR because I miss Jillian, and I miss the bigger calorie burn more workouts gives me! So probably T25 in the am and Jillian in the pm...or vice versa. Staying with t25 only, on cardio days, so only being a hero 4 days a week…

  • Bumping cause I want to know too :-) I am 5'6" and 142 lbs, and you are already at my goal weight by the way, so...perspective for you. But when I was younger I dieted very harshly and think I did a lot of damage (I am 38 now). If I diet too harshly now, my metabolism just seems to shut down, and I feel horrible and…

  • OMG this was exactly my experience. I was losing well, but I started to have no energy to workout, I was cranky and dragging myself around. I am going to started up another round soon, and I will likely be doing 1400-1500 calories. I am in the last ten pounds range, and even Jillian had admitted that your body will fight…

    in Hi everyone Comment by stephanj September 2013
  • Yah okay I fell off the 17dd. I just can't deal with that level of restriction right now. This is a dumb time of year to be restrictive for me. Letting myself have some carbs!!! Sorry :-) 1-08/18-145 lbs. it's TOM and that's artificially inflated. I think I'm really in the 141 range right now. 2-08/19-142.8 3-08/20-141.4…

  • This is me. My body stops happily at a weight that is about 5lbs more than I would like. I am starting to think - "am I in maintenance?" not sure yet....

  • Hi Emily :-)
    in Hi im Emily! Comment by stephanj August 2013
  • I think my successful (albeit slow) loss has been due to the fact that I know I was capable of being 130-135 lbs for all my young adult life. Wasn't until I had babies that I gained weight (and lost it twice) but it's always been a journey back to "myself". I think if I had always been heavy, I would have had a tougher…
    in Anyone else back at "what used to be normal"? Comment by stephanj August 2013

I don't feel like I have energy to work out or stay positive. 1-08/18-145 lbs. it's TOM and that's artificially inflated. I think I'm…

    in MADE IT -REACHED GOAL !!!! 2yrs 115.5lb lost .PICS Comment by stephanj August 2013
  • Yay! Let's see...I have made it through alpha, my best tip is to take it 30 seconds at a time, use Tania as the modifier if you need to. Also I had good success following the food plan. This one is really diet-dedendant. Good luck!
    in T25 Comment by stephanj August 2013
  • Confession- we reluctantly hosted a family birthday part and I ate some hot dogs, potato salad, and cake. Which is why my weight is up a bit. Family parties will always be a weakness for me- I don't feel comfortable being the odd man out. They already think I am obsessed with being thin because I work out all the time.…

  • Yay on the plateau-busting!!! Can I say I am just so scared for Beta? ALthough I am hearing people say that Rip't circuit actually not as hard as alpha circuit...what do you say?

  • Urg that's frustrating to have not much change on the tape measure....but can I just say you already looked fantastic in the "before"s? I would have supreme difficulty saying even where on your body could use improvement, you kinda look "done" (although I understand we are never "done"). I guess what I am saying is at this…

  • Don't worry too much about the scale - my weight has been bouncing all over the place, but every time it eventually settles on a new low. In week 5 of alpha, now down 6 lbs. With the help of lower carb. I find even my measurement fluctuate up and down!

  • You know some days when you can just tell the scale is going to go down big time! That was yesterday. I had a big whoosh and lost 3 lbs overnight. Down in the 130s again.
