I am having same issue, and it is very frustrating!!! If I could just get rid of my belly fat, I would be happy with my figure. Could lose a little more in my thighs too, but my belly fat is being a pain to get rid of.

Thanks. I do exercise daily, but I don't log it because of the way MyFitnessPal gives you more calories to eat because you burn some off when you exercise. I have a spreadsheet that I keep up with EVERYTHING. This is where I put my exercising and the calories burned. I just ended up taking a week of not exercising or…

I have plateaued. For past 4 weeks I have gone between 148-150 each week. I have quit losing inches though. This is the first week where I did not lose any inches at all. I have been told that when you plateau, you need to take a week off and rest. Also, to eat closer to your maintenance calories. This will "trick" your…

I am looking at both of these trying to figure out which one to buy. Which would you recommend? I am not sure I will be able to do a pull up. My arms just are not that strong. Especially with a bad elbow.

I have both a bad elbow that I fracture a year ago, and bad knee that I just recently hurt while doing lunges. Is this going to be really hard on both of them?

I have to start Beta this week on T25, and then I play on doing P90x3. I am hoping I will be able to keep up with P90x3. At first Alpha wore me out. I would finish the workouts, but had to take 1 minute breaks on a couple of the workouts like Total Body Circuit and Cardio. Not sure how much harder Beta is going to be. Was…

I am going to do this when I complete T25 which will be in another month being as I am just about to start Beta. How was your results from P90X3? Did you see a lot of weight loss and muscle gain? Is this a hard workout?

I finished Alpha a week ago, and then hurt my right knee doing lunges on a Saturday being as I do weight lifting on that day that Shau gives us off. I was going to start Beta that next Monday, but my knee hurt to bad and was scared to make it worse if I started Beta. Tell me, is Beta a lot harder than Alpha? Total Body…

I have added 3 days a week for weight lifting at the gym to make sure I am getting a good strength training every week. Working really hard on my lower half. Having a hard time losing weight in my thighs and lower stomach. Thanks!

Is T25 considered HIIT?

Is Focus T25 consider Strength Training or Cardio? I know it has both in there, but I want to make sure I am getting enough of both. I was doing HIIT. I am not sure doing just T25 is going to be enough or if I need to do HIIT at least 3 times a week also.

Decided that 1740 calories was to high. Doing 1667 calories with 124g carbs, 186g protein, and 46g fat. Just started this, so I don't know how it will work yet. I also started Focus T25 by Shau T. Hoping this will help me lose more weight. Not sure if this is considered cardio or Strength Training though. Anyone know?

Had to change my macros being as my body is a little carb intolerant. By eating all those carbs I was only hurting myself. I am on a low carb diet now. Eating way more protein than carbs, so looking to see what till happen on weigh in day.

I'm on my 2nd week of Alpha, and there are times where I can barely breath. I can't even seem to do the modified version at these times, so I hit pause and walk around the room to catch my breath for about a minute. This is what HIIT is about, so am I hurting myself by taking a minute break? TurboFire was like this.…

I am having problems with getting rid of belly fat too. As hard as I work and as good as I eat, it is really frustrating being as it seems like my belly fat is not going to go away.

A good place to see about how much calories you should be eating and about the different amounts of each macro (protein, carbs, fat) you should be aiming for is www.iifym.com. I started that a couple weeks ago. Before that I was eating 1520 calories. When I entered info on myself at this website it bumped me up to 1650…

What is the gamma part?

Wow....great results!!! I just started T25, and I am hoping for the same good results.

Wow....congrats!!! I just started T25 5 days ago. Man....it is tough. Having high intensity with NO BREAKS!!! I have been working out for 6 months now doing kickboxing, HIIT, jogging, weight lifting, cycling, but I still got sore doing T25. Guess that means it is working!!! lol.

I don't have bad knees, but I can tell you that you will be using your knees in jumping moves and squats a lot. I have a bad elbow, but I have only done first 5 days. We haven't done much on our elbows except the ab workout. Good luck!!! ;)

Wow...I just started IIFYM today. I had looked back at last week's nutrition on MyFitnessPal to see if I was close to my macros or not. I seem to go over my macros limit in fat, but have a hard time reaching the carbs goal. I was in shock being as I though carbs were actually a problem for me....as in eatting too much of…

I guess I just feel that eating even 300 under my maintenance calories would keep me from losing weight, but it is true what you say. As far as exercising...oh yes!! I workout out 5-6 days a week doing HIIT. I usually do TurboFire (kickboxing) or jogging for HIIT, and I also do strength training. I have had to take it down…

I work out 5-6 days a week. Have been doing High Intensity Interval Training, but hurt my ankle a week ago and taking it slow. Maybe I should wait until I can do HIIT again to go up on calories. Thanks!!!!
