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 still have not gotten this program but I'm still intrigued. Almost 6 months out now. 93 lbs down. I'm currently working on running a 5k in April.

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.

      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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
