Nice work!

Nope. Not fat.

Jumping in late! I'm on week 2 of Alpha. No loss yet, but my endurance is improving. I'm supplementing with Jillian Michaels's Ripped in 30, but I skip that on days that I'm too busy or too tired.

Fantastic progress!!

I'm four weeks in, and weigh about the same as when I start. However, I also had a good two weeks where I seriously struggled with eating within my calories. I don't follow her diet, mainly because I'm an annoyingly picky and limited eater. I generally range between 1500 - 1800 calories. Over the next 4 weeks, I've…

It's remarkable, isn't it? Jillian really knows how to get results FAST.

I've found that, often in life, when we finally choose to commit to making a change, it's almost as if we attract these challenges in order to test our resolve, whether we are really serious about this goal. Just keep pushing forward. It will become easier for you once you fall into your routine, and as you start seeing…

I just completed day 1 of week 3, but I'll certainly chime in with your thread. I could use the motivation.

I'm using what I already have, which are 4s, 5s, 8s and 10s. I'm only in week 3, and haven't needed the 10s yet.

This sounds amazing!!

Amazing work. What an inspiration!

I recommend taking frequent photos, because even the tape measure doesn't tell the whole story. I measure at my belly button and also at my natural waist, but it's my belly overhang that has been shrinking the most, which is affecting the way my clothes fit. I never measure there, so if I was relying strictly on "inches…

Definitely take photos! The scale and even the tape measure will not tell the entire story.

You have to take photos. The scale and even the tape measure tell only part of the story with a workout program as this. You have likely shrunk in places that you don't even measure, and it's not uncommon to gain weight during the Shred.

Wow, that's fantastic!

Great job!

That is amazing progress!

Wow! You look fantastic. Nice work.

Wow!

Amazing! Nice work.

Well done!

Wow!

I'm still in Alpha,. but so far I prefer T25 to Insanity. With Insanity, the workouts were longer, so I would find myself tending to pace myself to try to get through the whole thing with as few breaks as possible. I'm an asthmatic, so my stamina isn't as great as I would like. But with T25 being a shorter workout, I'm…

I believe 2 of the guys in the videos are 41 and 45? I'm 42 and love it.

Don't press pause. Just modify and go at your own pace. Rest briefly if you must. But let the video play and join back when you can.

So much win in this thread!

You look absolutely amazing! Love the new do.

I've noticed the same thing. Most weekdays, coffee for breakfast at 6:00am is sufficient, then a snack at 9:30am and lunch at noon.

Wise words!

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this.
