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.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
