I lost half a kilo (roughly a pound). No centimetres lost yet, but I know they're coming :) So far I've lost 1.5 kg (around 3 pounds) since I started 2.5 weeks ago. Slow progress, but that's fine with me!

Maybe if you feel the need, some days swap out the T25 workouts for the exercise you prefer to do, but try to come back to T25. That's what I'm doing currently, as T25 aggravated some hip flexor soreness, so I'm alternating days between my favourite (pilates) with T25. Do your best, you know your body, but try to go for as…

I missed two days. I haven't been home for those days and have been working on a presentation. Now that I'm home again, time to get back in order :)

Challenges: - Working out in the hot, humidity. Summer is coming down here in Australia. Makes the routines seem x10 worse :( - I've been working out at night, so trying to fit in workouts around my schedule. Hopefully can do better this week. Positives: - I've lost 1kg (~2 pounds) - I feel more in control when I do the…

I was going to do the double day tonight, but came home at 10:30pm. I know I should've tried, but I figured I'd just really try my best tomorrow, and go for an am-pm schedule. I might even throw in a 30 minute walk at lunch time to make up for today's no show.

Not really an amazing tip...workout with a fan in front of you. Just getting a cool breeze at the right time during a sweaty session knocks me in to gear and keeps me focused. Trust me, when you're sweating, and you're starting to feel icky, you want to just stop right then and there.

I did this the other day. Man, I was following Tania pretty much all the way. After this workout my hip flexors were a little sore, so took a few days off whilst they heal. I think all those jumps in to squats, quickly jumping from the left to the right was the worst part for me. I find it hard to maintain form, so not…

Hey all. I'm Ellie :) Trying to get the last 10kg off (20ish pounds?). I started this time last year and lost 12kg by January. I know it'll be a little tougher that I'm a bit lighter, but I want it gone for good. Starting stats: Age:26 Height: 165cm (5'5'?) Weight: 71kg Goal weight: 60-62 kg Biggest obstacle: university…

I just started cardio alpha day 1 today. Was hoping to find a group to help keep me going. Joined! :)

This is about 10 months of progress, but really it's 6 months as the past 4 months I've been on maintenance (been hard to do so much when university semester is going on) and have been successful at maintaining my current weight within a 1 kg range for all that time :D I still have about 8 kg more to lose, but am happy…

I've probably eaten slightly over my maintenance, but like others have said here, I've stuck to my calorie goals every day since I started here (a little over 3 months ago). Today is the only day I didn't track, and I've already got my "regular" meals and exercise routine all prepared for tomorrow, so it's back on track in…

All of that exercise on an average 800 calories a day is just not healthy and like others have said is just flat out stressful :( I'm the same height as you (165cm), and 52kg is definitely already a very healthy weight, why the rush to be 48kg, which would be UNDERWEIGHT for our height? You could probably lose 1-2 kg in 20…

Waist, bust and arms for me first. I've already lost 5cm from waist, 2.5 cm from bust, and 2cm from arms. I've even lost 2cm from my butt, but have lost 0cm from the hips so far xD Just gotta say, thanks to my greek dad for giving me this joyous gift of the mediterranean hips -_-

This is what I do, and I feel satisfied and never hungry. I don't eat breakfast, because I never really am hungry until it's lunch. On the off chance I do have breakfast, it's usually a cup of tea and 2 of those Belvita Breakfast Biscuits. Dude, I love those. 4 biscuits is around 240 calories and they have a decent amount…

That's awesome! I would LOVE results like yours for a month! Congrats on getting closer to your goal! This was the progress I made for this month, I guess I'm a slow starter :laugh: . Also, I apologise for the absolute state my bathroom mirror is in :ohwell: Living in a house with 3 men gets messy real fast.... This is 3kg…

I usually spend it on handmade jewellery or handmade perfume oils/bath'n'body stuff. Gotta smell good for all those hours of rank sweating during the week :wink: Also every so often, I'll spend on some games from Steam.

Kelly Salisbury Sounds more like a librarians name really :ohwell:

BMR: 1940 TDEE: 2217 (using fitness frog) Current Daily Goal: 1430 I usually try for 1250-1400, but always aim to be under the goal calories for everyday. However sometimes I do eat back *some* of my exercise calories, not all though.

I've seen women wear regular leggings, and just wear a pair of work out shorts over the top. I've also heard of people doubling up on the pants, because they want to minimise "jiggling" etc. As long as you feel comfortable wearing it, and they're appropriate for public view - go for it :)

Seriously awesome! Your starting weight is similar to mine, and we look to be about the same shape (I too tend to hold the weight on my stomach and hips), so seeing your progress photos really encourages me :) You look great and I'm sure you're going to do even better things!

US: quilt cover/cover AUS: doona NZ: duvet (said as doovay) I get made fun of by my partner and his kiwi family for saying doona xD It really is such a silly sounding word to say in a Steve Irwin style accent as well xD I actually can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet :P US: redneck AUS: Derro or Bogan

We call them Bum Bags :laugh:

US - AUS sweater = jumper (or sloppy joe as my dad calls them, I don't think young people call them that now) sneakers = runners/joggers/sand shoes (another old one my dad uses) tracksuit pants = trackies/tracky dacks sunglasses = sunnies panties = undies (I don't call anything panties unless they're very fine lingerie.…

Sorry to hear about the knee pain :( Don't feel bad if you need to stop the challenge because your knees are hurting. It's best to make sure you don't injure yourself. I know it'd be a major bummer to have to stop due to injury, but best to not aggravate it any further! I had some friends tell me before I started that the…

I just completed day 1. Oh man, it's good and bad. Good as in I feel so energised after and I sweat heaps (I actually had sweat roll onto my eyes!). Bad in that it's definitely challenging for me and I was tempted to give up at the half way point, but pushed through, because damnit I want those results :laugh: I live a…

If I could drop a dress size by christmas, that'd be great. Hoping to be able to get back in to my size AU14 jeans *fingers crossed*. I'm not looking for any scale victories, pretty much NSV will be motivation enough if I can reach them by xmas.
