  • Started week 3 today and I have been losing inches--just not pounds. Trying to figure out how to get that scale to move. Still, inches lost is inches lost and I'll take it:) Is anyone supplementing with other workouts? Has anyone not lost pounds, but have lost inches? Since I can't get to the gym, I have been doing this…
  • I have learned that if you stick with it, you will get results. Your body will respond when it is good and ready.
  • I am approaching the end of week 2, Alpha. I have a love/hate with it!!:) All that jumping around, I have to stop for a second to go to the bathroom:/ But I digress; I am losing inchesnot weight yet, but that could be my body adjusting to this new workout. Toying with the idea of getting Gamma----which, if the truth be…
  • I've been seeing alot of hype about Insanity and I was curious about getting it, but......I will finish T25 first and maybe add Gamma to it. I figure, if we have T25 and the results are supposed to be good, why spend more money on Insanity. You mentioned Insanity is repetitive; do you mean you are doing the same moves each…
  • I am on week 2 day 2; I lost a couple inches already; that is how intense it is for me. I am guessing I 'shocked' my body a little bit. Love that it's only 25 minutes. I sweat alot after each workout; some moves are challenging for me, so I just follow the modifier. So far, so good. I am toying with getting Gamma, but will…
  • Thank you:) I was beginning to feel like, what else can I do? I followed the doctor's advice and gave up the bad carbs and no longer add sugar to my tea or oatmeal. I add honey, which I kind of like better. If I must add sugar, I use Organic brown sugar in the smallest amount. It truly is frustrating, but I am on this…
  • Both are the same. I would love to get off the thyroid meds, but I have to be on them forever. I am wondering if that has a hand in this. The scale is telling me that I am up in muscle and down in fat, though. It has been a struggle. I have adjusted my diet; no white bread, pasta or rice, for example. I'm fine with that. I…
  • About a month, but I am hypothyroid, so it takes longer for the weight to drop no matter what I am doing. I weigh myself once a week first thing in the morning. I would love to be that person who can lose a pound a week:/
  • Thanks so much:) My clothes, are, indeed loose. The inches in the hips always seems to go last; but I lost in my waist and upper thighs, also upper arm; dare I say, my neck, too. Yes, I measured my neck, LOL. This new workout is definitely different from what I am used to. I will keep taking my Spin classes and I do weight…
  • Just finished week one and I am already down a few inches. Not much, but just for kicks, I measured myself before I started this program, and I checked and double checked. I have not lost weight, yet, only inches. Week 2, here we come. PS, yes!! burning 200 or more calories in that 25 minutes is pretty amazing. And he is…
  • I would scale back or get a smaller size; also if you are going to have that, don't have the cola. The body doesn't seem to want to let go of those kinds of carbs. If you want to shock the bod for awhile, I would give it up for awhile. But if you absolutely must have it, just dial it back a little bit.
  • 2 things..."Starbucks" and "Sprite"....lots of unnecessary carbs there. Also, you've not filled in the rest of your meals/snacks/beverages for the day. I gave up my fountain soda and that made a difference; a huge difference. Keep making healthy food choices and let your body respond when it's ready to respond:)
  • Down 78 pounds and I don't have all that loose skin; just the 'normal' under arm jiggle and inner thigh jiggle; 2 areas I could never seem to get rid of--I had been up and down in weight over the years; I sometimes wonder if it's because of that. Just stay focused and don't worry about that stuff; worry only about your…
  • I question the results; everyone looks so ccokie cutter. I am on day 3 and the workouts are intense, but great. You will feel good after; it is hard work. But only 25 minutes. I like Shaun T's demeanor, how he explains, and even he gets out of breath.
  • Hi:) I am a reformed carbo-holic:) It took time. It took 2 years to finally listen to my Dr.'s advice and give up my love affair with white pasta, white bread, flour products, sugar, rice...It was overwhelming. What I did was do it a meal at a time. Instead of cereal for breakfast, I would have Oatmeal--not the instant…
  • In the time you have been on it, have you noticed any changes? I have seen some reviews on Amazon where the person is on week 2 or week 3 and lost several pounds and inches.
  • Did the Speed DVD from the T25 program and...I am seriously dreading that I have to do that one again tomorrow, per the T25 schedule:/ It's a tough one. I was thirsty all the way through it and pouring sweat. Burned 215 calories according to my HRM. My legs are sore from yesterday's workout, but it's a good feeling.
  • I agree; a good instructor would stress safety first, and implement moves on a carefully designed ride. We do squats on the bike; upper body/pushup moves, up and downs, etc., but it's not at all a problem. We will be instructed to add more resistance; come people do and some people leave it right where it is. It's your…
  • Right on!! ONe thing I wonder...How in heck do these people in the video not stop for a drink of water??:) I held my water bottle during part of the workout!!!:)
  • They are great about shipping:) Did your friend see alot of good results with T25? I know a few people who are doing T25 AND some other DVDs!!:) Curious to see if this alone will make good things happen:) [/quote] My friend has done a lot of the different programs off beachbody and she said (and I quote) "T25 is the bomb"!…
  • Near Cherry Hill; about you?
  • If spin class kills a person, what a way to go!!!:)

  • I started worrying especially when one of the instructors kept grunting through her session and couldn't wait to put the barbell down, LOL. There are a few spin instructors I really like---one of whom is 71 and the picture of good health and wellness. In his class, he explains the moves, why we are doing them and what we…
  • Just started the Focus T25 today, starting with Alpha Cardio, disc 1. Initially, I thought, oh...just some cardio; may have to just send this back....Then it became a workout---much better than some cardio classes I have taken at the gym---and this gal has taken MANY classes!!!:) In 25 minutes, I burned 232 calories…
  • I am starting to feel that way.
  • Hi! I am from NJ; we have Group Kickboxing and we did have a step class called Group Step; I heard they discontinued that.
  • I have Hashis/hypothyroidism and take meds to regulate things. With these meds, my thyroid levels are normal, but...Instead of losing a pound a week like I thought i was supposed to, I lose a pound in, say, a month's time:/ But!!!!!! All my bloodwork is perfect---I achieved that through proper diet and exercise. It's…
  • Makes sense!! I have always found myself saying that the person always looks fine in the before picture!!!!:)
