Merry Christmas to everyone - hope you all had a great day :) It's back to T25 tomorrow. I am gonna try to double up each day so as to not miss the weeks worth of workouts & to burn off all the candy I ate :)

I am taking the next 3 days off and hope to pick up on Thursday. I still have to much Christmas candy to make & too many last minute things to do. I do plan on doing my weightlifting so hopefully missing a few days won't do me in. Everyone have a wonderful holiday & a Merry Christmas!!!

jakeyuma - thanks for the input it sounds like a good idea and is probably what I will do. Carrie_P81 - Hope you and your son feel better soon :)

STATurday Well I just finished week 5 of Beta and all total for the Alpha/Beta rounds I lost 1 pound & 11 inches. I am not sure what I am going to do next, either start over with Alpha or do the Gamma Hybrid. My upper strength is still not where it needs to be for all the planks & burpees which indicates that I probably…

Beta Rip't Circuit & Speed 2.0 Didn't do all that great on Rip't Circuit today so I did Speed 2.0 thinking I would push harder, which didn't happen. I still had a pretty good calorie burn but my heart wasn't in it today. Still and all I pushed thru which was better than just blowing it off. Did I mention that I turned 47…

Beta Week 5 day 1&2 Yesterday I almost nailed Rip't Circuit & today I nailed Core Cardio with the exception of the diag. lifts but I did manage a few without modifying. jakeyuma - Way to keep going with the bands. Great job making it to step 7 with no modifications!! lexlyn14 - Way to go on lower focus - my calves/thighs…

Staturday I did Dynamic Core (Friday's) workout today and did a fair job and I also did the stretch dvd. Not only have I not lost any weight but I have put on 2 pounds. Tape measure does show 1/4" off waist, 1/2" off hip, and 1/4 off right calf. All in all I'm am pleased and trying to not think about the weight. Everybody…

Beta Yesterday I did Rip't circuit and did a good job. I did not manage to do my workout today. Yesterday I overdid the amount of weight to use for dumbbell flies and now my shoulder is a little crunchy sounding. Hopefully I will be able to do today's workout tomorrow. I did get 6 workouts in this week so I am not gonna…

jakeyuma Sorry to hear about your weights. That sucks. There is a website - dumbellanddiapers - that shows you the moves on alpha, beta, and gamma dvd's. You might not have to go through all the workouts to find the ones that don't use weights. Good luck with customer service:)

Beta Speed 2.0 My hubby peed me off right before my workout today & I ended up totally nailing Speed 2.0!!! I averaged 89-92% of my heart rate for most of the 25 minutes. According to my heart rate monitor I burned 500 cal. - I don't think I have ever had that high of a burn before. Maybe I should get him to make me mad…

Beta Today I almost nailed Upper Focus – there are a few of the moves I still have to slightly modify. I then tried out Core Speed (the extra Beta workout). My heart rate hit 80% at minute 4 and I was feeling it. I didn't even try the one-handed burpee’s as I didn't feel like cleaning up the blood that would surely be…

Beta week 3 day 1 First I did my Beta workout which was Core Cardio. I did an awesome job of it. I will say that during the 'X Lunge touch the floor' it was more of a visualize touching the floor :laugh: I also managed to do a few of the non-modified 'plank diagonal lift' before my left wrist gave out. Next I decided to…

Beta week 2 day 5 (yesterday) I am just now posting for Friday. I did Rip't Circuit and Speed 2.0. I pretty much nailed Speed 2.0 but only did passable on Rip't Circuit. I have done doubles everyday for the last 6 days plus lifting 3 days and have decided to take the weekend off. I might do the stretch Sunday as I haven't…

Great Job!!!

Beta week 2 day 4 Totally nailed Speed 2.0 and boy was I feeling it when I was finished. I took a ten minute break and then did Alpha's TBC. I don't think it will ever be easy. I still can't do a push-up but other than that I managed to do a pretty good job. My thighs/calves hurt so bad about half way through I did end of…

Beta week 2 day 3 Did Rip't Circuit and Alpha Speed 1.0 today also managed to work in my Wednesday lifting. I came close to totally nailing both workouts and did a few more reps on my bicep curls and overhead presses today. I am probably gonna be hurting tomorrow but I am totally loving it today:smile:

Beta week 2 day 2 I did Core Cardio today and feel like I did a respectable job. I did have to use the modifier a few times but other wise managed to hang with it. . I can't do the plank diagonal lifts with my left arm (it is still weak from a wrist break) but I could barely do a plank when I started so I am not going to…

jakeyuma, I did lose more at the end of last year while eating more calories. Part of my problem is I get busy and forget/don't want to take the time to eat until suppertime. It has been a huge struggle to overcome that. Looking back over the last month I can see that, though I eat several times a day, I have started to…

jukeyuma - For the last month my net calorie has been between 700 - 1200 calories a day. The month before that it stayed closer to 1200. I didn't lose any weight so I went lower calorie through November - didn't lose any weight then either. I have lost some on the tape measure but I don't understand why it isn't showing up…

Beta week 2 day 1 Today I feel like I nailed Dynamic Core and then did Cardio from Alpha for the extra calorie burn. Monday is also a lifting day for me, so I burned a few more calories from that. All total I burned around 1000 calories - wish I could manage to work that hard every day. I have been so disappointed in my…

Beta week 1 day 5 This was Friday's workout but just managed to do it today. I did really good until the very end of Core Cardio and then did Alpha's Speed 1.0 to burn a few more calories. All total a little over 800 calories burned so not to bad. Glad to see how well everyone is doing, keep it up.

Beta week 1 day 4 Dynamic Core I nailed Dynamic Core this morning with the exception of the V's. My V's look more like W's:laugh: I am not going to stress anymore about how many calories I eat today. I am calling it a free calorie day, as in on holiday's everything is calorie free:smile: I hope each and everyone one of you…

Beta Week 1, day 3 - Rip't Circuit I did not do this workout justice today. I did quite a bit modified and still can't get the V. I think the problem today is because it feels like someone shortened my hamstrings, they are soooo sore. Everyone keep up the good work and have a great day.

Beta day week 1: Day 1 & 2 I did Core Cardio Monday and Speed 2.0 on Tuesday. They were not as hard as I thought they would be but still very challenging. I have lost about another ¼ inch on my waist but no movement on the scales – kinda disappointing :sad: Today I did my workout before I had my coffee and ended up…

Alpha week 5 day 5 - Total Body Circuit Total Body Circuit was killer yesterday but I made it through and only modified during the pike and push up. My left wrist is still healing from a break and sometimes it just won't support me. Yesterday was also lifting day and I managed to complete everything I was aiming for as…

I am doing much better with drinking water. Before I started my journey I didn't drink water once a week much less daily and I am now up to 7-10 glasses a day. I don't know if it is the water, but since I upped my intake my skin seems better and my wrinkles not so noticeable. Yeah!

Alpha week 5 day 4 - Cardio Cardio kicked my butt this morning, my heart rate stayed between 84% and 91% for most of the workout. I hope this means I am pushing harder but it felt like my legs were going to fall off:laugh: I find that I am a little scared of what next week (Beta) holds in store for me but I plan on staying…

Alpha Week 5 day 3: Total Body Circuit This one is still pretty hard but I can do a lot more of it without modifying than when I started T25. I still can’t do a push-up without modifying but maybe someday. I love T25 even on TBC day which I start dreading the night before. @jennicole4 – I put on several pounds in the first…

Hi all. Today was Alpha week 5 day 2 for me and I did the Ab intervals and lower focus. I usually work the extra workout into whatever day will work best for my schedule but darn the ab/lower focus combo 'bout killed me.
