Well, I’m being brave.
Really brave.
Showing you my belly fat all hanging out sloppy-like.
::sigh::
I wasn’t going to share these because I didn’t think they were… “transformy” enough. I was hoping to have dramatic aesthetic results, but I think what I’ve achieved with T25 is… decent.
Before T25
- I had zero core strength
- I was well over my normal weight
- I was sluggish
- I couldn’t really do anything that required cardio without panting, and
- I was stressed out and mildly sleep deprived
When I started I was using the modifiers a whole lot, but by the end I was kinda keeping up with Shaun T! It was hard and I skipped some days but I made them up with a few 2-a-days and just continuing the program a bit longer.
Now After T25:
- My weight only went down a few lbs and I lost a couple inches, but the non-scale results are great.
- I can run 3 miles nonstop again with no walking (probably more, but the loop I run in FL is about 3 mi. so I haven’t tried longer)
- My legs and shoulders feel stronger.
- Even my core feels sliiiiightly stronger (but they’re in ROUGH shape after these c-sections)
- My cardio has seriously improved, a lot less huffin’ and puffin’ when playing with Rohan. (And that one is the BEST of all the results)
- Plus there’s the satisfaction of completing a program I started.
- Oh yeah, and my back fat rolls have gone down a bit too! 🙂
I did not use the T25 nutrition plan. If I had, I’m sure my results would be seriously more dramatic. The first month of the program I was eating cleaner, but still a lot so I could compensate for the breastfeeding. The second month…I was in Florida…so you know I was eating like a horse, and it wasn’t clean. The only healthy thing I maintained while in Florida was drinking my shakeology every day.
I also didn’t do the Sunday stretch dvds…though I wish I had, I think I did it twice out of the whole two months.
At first when I took my t25 results photos I was disappointed. But I’m feeling a bit more realistic about it now. I made some physical improvements in just 2 months, spending only 25 minutes a day! That’s not bad at all. I had lots of excuses (working, travel, lethargia, deadlines, lack of time, marriage stress, and 2 very adorable excuses) but I pushed that aside and did what I had to do. I mean…it’s only 25 minutes!
What honestly helped me the most was being a part of my challenge group. I ran it with a fellow coach, and had some great, dedicated challengers. I knew I had to check in daily with my group whether I did the work out or not, whether I ate well or not, and having that accountability is what kept me from scrapping it when it got tough.
At one point I skipped 3 days in a row, and was like F it, I’ll just start over when I get back to NY…but I scrolled through the group and saw my girls working hard and gettin’ it in and it really motivated me to suck it up, and get back on the horse. That’s when I pulled out a few 2-a-days and tried to catch back up.
I’m currently doing Body Beast (weight training program) and will be mixing in T25 and PiYo videos as well for cardio and stretch/balance. I’m excited to get more results and can’t wait to see where I am in the next 30, 60, 90 days. (I’ll keep updating you here for sure)
Overall I’m happy with T25 and would recommend it to anyone who wants an effective workout that is short on time. I’m happy to help you stay focused and get results too. If you’re interested in joining my next challenge group (starts August 4) let me know!
I love my T25 .. am going to get back focused on it this week. You have very good results!
Get to it missy! thank you.
Chalene Extreme tho was what got me 60lbs lighter in 90 days… actually more like 45days. I also love Turbo Jam and Brazil Butt lift…HIP HOP ABS are in my case to which i like because I have BPPV and cant lay down and get up to do sit ups… so I need standing abs workouts… Keep up the good work Dani!
60lbs? wow. That’s GREAT Keva!! I didn’t know you were a beachbody junkie too!! What are you currently doing?
I was a beachbody coach and recently stopped. I plan to start back up in the future on the coach side…. but yes when I saw my girl do Brazil Butt life and her results I knew beach body products were for me…
Your results are amazing! I give you mad props for putting this out there. Definitely inspires me! I go to boot camp classes because I do better in a group setting.
Thank you! I remember you told me about your boot camp classes, how are they going?
You look great!!! I can’t believe you just had a baby and you’re so small already. You definitely have inspired me. I’ve got 2 more months until I have this baby, and afterwards you totally make me want to try T25.
When you’re ready come see me boo! Omg only 2 more months!!!?? How are you feeling?
I think you look great ! You can def tell the difference!
Thanks!!
You look amazing! After only two months for 25 min a day?!! Chile…
(hug) Thanks Kim!! Now take your butt to bootcamp!
First off…kudos to you for your bravery! It’s inspiring. You’re results are incredible. We are always hardest on ourselves. Now, I feel like I need to get up from this computer chair to work out!
Thank you!! We are hard on ourselves….what kinda workout are you doing?
You look great.
Thanks Kim! Do you work out?
You did great! I find T25 pretty hard like insanity fast and furious’ older brother lol. So much jumping my knees any hang. I applaud you for sticking through it.
Thanks Alicia, I actually think Insanity was harder, even with the breaks, it was so LONG! How long have you been doing T25?
You are definitely a brave woman and I’m hoping to do some before and after’s in a year. You look great! You can see the results! I need to get rid of my belly and dieting it’s the worst of it! 🙂 Thanks for posting and keeping us motivated!
Thank you LeSha, and dieting is the harder part isn’t it? It gets easier if you don’t diet and just make lil lifestyle tweaks. What are you currently doing?
Great job Dani…keep up the great work!
Thank you Alisha!
Congrats, you are looking good. Kudos for sticking it out and pushing yourself.
Thanks so much Mimi! You workin out?

On a hunnit! lol Thank you 🙂
Def looking good lady!
Thank you Monique! Are you workin out?
Dani, I bike six miles a day to get to and from work. I weigh less than I did before I got pregnant. But girl, I’m soo squishy and soft. I’m working on building back that muscle tone before #2. I plN to finally take swim lessons this fall which will help a lot.
Dani
Your results are amazing. Go T25, I just started this a week

minutes.
Yay Pegster, do your boys try and do it with you?
Very motivating progress:)
Thank you! Are you working out?

You definitely see your results…Keep Up the Good Work!!!

Wow great job!
Kudos to you!
Awesome results! I need to commit to some form if exercise asap
Great Results! I love T25 and Shaun T. I did the whole program last year with a group and I will say you are right – definitely a motivator in keeping you on track. I got to meet Shaun T last year around this time at the first Shauntervention here in Dallas. I think I was on my 8th week of T25 when I went to it. He is really great in person – so positive and motivating. I enjoyed reading your review of T25. I am currently doing T25 and alternating it with days of yoga since I love yoga. Can’t wait to hear more about Body Beast and Piyo – I found your blog through the WOW link up from Femme Fitale Fit Club blog.
Wow great results! Love that you saw (and measured!) so many non-scale gains! #wowlinkup
Congrats! You look great! Weight is just a number and what really matter is how you feel about yourself. Nice job! Love T25! #wowlinkup
Your results look great to me. The back rolls have definitely been close to eliminated. It isn’t easy after having a baby and breastfeeding. I tell ya – I wasn’t working out during that time. It took me an entire 18 months after my son was born to start getting back in the groove so you are doing excellent. #wowlinkup
You had great results. Remember you just had a baby so it took 9 months to carry the baby, it may take 9 months to get back to where you were before. Visiting from the #wowlinkup
What are you talking about your results are great. You go girl your on your way, from one coach to another keep up the good work.
Support groups are great…that’s awesome that you had that to keep you going…keep it up! #wowlinkup
