Has anyone tried doing T25 by Beach Body? I'm about 12 weeks out and 70 pounds down. Still 212 though. I was interested in trying T25 but am concerned that it may still be to intense for me. Also concerned that I might hurt myself trying it. Anyone one else try it? How was it?

Oh currently my workouts are walking with weights for 30 minutes every day. I need to start doing more but it has to be something I can do from home and doesn't take a lot of time.

YES - tried it while I was about 170 lbs (so about 20 lbs ago) and finally sent it back. I had been doing a lot of High Intensity Interval Training workouts for about 35 minutes at a time and thought I could hang with this....NOPE! It wasn't really the pace so much as the lack of instruction on FORM. I think if you already know good exercise form, you would probably be OK. I like Shaun T and they offered modifiers for the less athletic to make the moves easier. Plus, the short 25 minute total workout time was wonderful.

If you get it - let me know what you thought...

I just started doing it and the p90x. It's not bad. If you need to you can modify. Like I can't get off the ground or down into the ground. Atleast not nearly as quick as they do so I modify.

The key is keeping your form and you'll feel it. I really like it

Oh cool. Thanks. I intrigued by the T25. My husband has insanity and its ridiculously hard for me. I'm still quite heavy (5"2' 194lbs) but need something that will tone me better than the resistance bands. I have been walking 30-60 minutes a day for a few months. I feel like I need that little something extra.

Hello, I was sleeved a little over a year ago and lost a good amount of weight in the first 6 months. After that it has been stall after stall. I came across the BeachBody programs( T25, P90x-P90x3, Hip Hop Abs, Brazilian Butt Lift). I have been doing the T25 with the Shakeology Protein Shakes and feel great. I have broke my stall and love that I can workout when I have time and it only takes 25min of my day! If you have any questions, I'd love to answer them!

I plan to do some yoga for my toning and strengthening. I have strict personal rules about high intensity for 6 months.

I've not tried it yet, but interested as well. Although overweight I've done fitness boot camps that included high impact aerobics and HIIT training (I think it's called). Anyway, loved them so I think id be willing to give this a try.

I am 2 weeks post op and I just bought T25. I think it's a little too soon to start so I plan on using the Walk Away The Pounds videos as well as walking when the weather permits beginning in week 3. I was wondering when did everyone feel up to exercising? I still find that I am tired a lot of the time.

If you have the energy and desire to get it done with T25, by all means, push play and never look back. You do want to make absolutely sure your body can handle it as a post op though. Maybe make sure you can push yourself that hard before trying it. It will be challenging. It was a year post op before I got into anything intense like t25 and built up my cardio strength with running before that. I am currently doing p90 x and really enjoy it. T25 is in my future, probably after I work through p90x2, insanity and asylum. It is not that I do not want to do it now. I do. And can. However, I want to do some of these other programs first to build up some beach body background. T25 is probably like doing a long AMRAP cross fit met con (those usually max out at 30 minutes, averaging at 20 minutes). An AMRAP cross fit met con 5-6 days a week is intense! Be sure to stretch, do yoga, acupressure, whatever on your 1-2 rest days a week. Your body and your mind will thank you.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
