Awesome job!!! You've worked hard to get where you are and it shows :smile:

Dawn, I struggle to run in the heat! I'm going to have to start dealing with that since summer will be here in no time. Ali, I'd be happy wearing a 4-6! I'm a 10-12 now and even in high school don't think I was ever under a 10. Heck I'd be happy just being a solid 10 again :) I had a good workout this morning. I think I…

I didn't get anything...

I'd like to join :)

@samntha14 I realize it's not a weight loss program. I just keep hearing to strength train while losing weight though. Sounds like you had some great results! I think it comes down to what most of you have been saying--figure out what my goals are and adjust accordingly. Julie- you look great! It would be tough for me to…

Thanks for the responses. I'm 5'6" and about 168lbs. I'm looking to lose about 20lbs. I already do cardio--I run, walk, elliptical, or do videos like t25 usually about 6 days a week. I'm trying to switch over to 3 lifting days and 3 cardio. I'm fine with losing slow as long as I'm losing. I am eating at a deficit so…

Hi ladies. I've just started stage 1. I've done the first two workouts so far and am super sore!! But honestly, I was just hoping for some success stories. After doing research on lifting I keep coming across stories of ladies doing this program and after 6 months they are at the same weight with minimal inches lost. I…

I don't think that is the "only possible reason." Some people like to watch the trend and track weight daily.

I've done the secret eating in the past. As I was reading these responses I was trying to figure out why I used to and why I don't seem to do it anymore. I think for me, I changed jobs which cut way down on stress. I also think a big factor is a change in my routine. I used to have a routine where I would drive 25 minutes…

Hi ladies! I just did my second workout this morning. The lunges were rough!! I work out in my basement then shower on the second floor. I had a tough time making it to the shower :/ I imagine I will be sore tomorrow!! I'm at work now and feel exhausted! I didn't feel this way after my first day. Do any of you feel extra…

I always workout before breakfast. It just works out better that way for me. I also just have days where the workouts are really tough. The next day it might be better. Sometimes we need to listen to our bodies and rest and some days I can't attribute the funk to anything specific. It usually just gets better if I give it…

I understand what you're saying. I just sort of miss the days where I didn't have to think about every calorie. I know I can eat whatever I want and I do fit in things I love, but many times things will not be worth the calories to me. I want to be full and that might mean I can't eat a large order of french fries. Just…

It's the bottom of my foot in the heel. I'm not a veteran runner but I have been running for a couple years. I just recently started running longer distances though. Previously I wouldn't go much above 1 mile plus walking. This last run, which aggravated my heel, was 4.5 miles of running plus about 1 mile of walking. I'm…

When I went to the running shoe store they told me I have lower arches that require more support

Morning is definitely the worst pain. I tried a couple stretches last night I think they helped a little. It's frustrating to have to stop exercising but I know that's what I probably need to do to avoid injuring myself more. I guess I can focus on upper body Thanks for the responses!

It gets easier and faster the longer you do it. In the big picture though, it really doesn't take up that much time. You could try pre-logging while your son is at school or in bed maybe. There are ways to make it work if you really want it to. I'm a mom to a 4 year old and 2 year old. I also work full-time and am managing…

That's what I was thinking! Preferred time would probably be between 8 and 10am. My actual weekday workouts are at 4:45am. And usually about 6:30am on weekends.

I've done a lot of Jillian Michael's workouts too. I love JM but I think this was a good switch for me for a while. I was getting a little burnt out I think. Similar time-frame but just a change of pace. I would definitely say give T25 a try!

I'm on alpha week 4. I haven't noticed a huge drop on the scale but definitely think my body is changing. I feel better and have been enjoying the workouts for the most part. The weight loss would probably be better if my diet was a bit better. I'm trying to get back on track with that. I've had a couple bad days. So…

I have a goal to log everything for an entire year. I'd been pretty sporadic about food logging before this. I'm about two months in. Anyone can feel free to add me for support

I just looked on skinnytaste.com and there are a bunch of ground turkey recipes. I printed off the one pot cheesy taco chili mac--it's about 340 calories for 1 cup

Good for you!! That's a big step!

I bought it off the Bodyshred site. It's so new I wasn't able to find it anywhere else.

I understand where everyone is coming from. I have two boys (4 and 2) and work full time. I'm at work by 7am and usually get home between 430-5p. I've found if I don't plan to work out I end up making excuses. I typically wake up every morning at 4:45am and do some sort of work out DVD. I've taken up jogging on the…

I thought--wow he looks young to be "middle aged." So I looked at your profile...Is 29 really middle aged?! I'm not ready to be middle aged yet!

You look great!! I don't see 56 extra lbs to lose! Keep it up and definitely share any tips. Your pictures alone are great motivation!

@Alanabanana84‌ I feel like I wasn't warned about workout 3! Holy cow. That's a huge step from weeks 1 and 2 don't you think? How are things going for you?

I have it too. I think I always will unless I get surgery. I've just come to accept this. I'm not at a place to wear a bikini right now anyway and if I was, I'd also have to figure out what to do about all my stretch marks left by my two big ol' babies! There are some success stories out there though so don't lose all…

Got mine in the mail yesterday. So far so good! It isn't counting all the flights of stairs I do but I don't think that's a big deal--I don't really care about that. I really love the sleep tracking without having to tap for years to get the thing to "sleep." I ordered a small originally then read a lot of info and changed…
