T25 Gamma Results {and then I'll never talk about T25 again}

I'm sure many of you are sick of hearing about T25.  I get it, it's pretty much all I've blogged about over the past few months.  I'm sorry I'm not sorry because, YOU GUYS!  This program is legit.  This is the first and only program I've seen all the way through, all 18 weeks of it {from alpha to gamma}.  I've actually looked forward to doing it, most days, even.  There was even a period of time where I was doing it seven days a week because I just hated taking that one day off!

Where did we leave off with this program?
Oh yeah, right there.  I was feeling pretty good.  Significant changes had been made during beta and I was actually pretty comfortable in a bathing suit.  Of course I still had work to do {and still do} but overall I was impressed with beta round.

Gamma is another 4-8 weeks.  The first four weeks is pure gamma, meaning you just do the gamma workouts.  One thing I loved about that phase was there were no more two-a-day Fridays!  Woo!  But then you switch over to the gamma hybrid for the second four weeks and not only are two-a-day Fridays back but also you incorporate some of the workouts from alpha, beta, and gamma in that round.  I think that was my favorite phase because it was such a good mix of strength, cardio, core and total body.

And for the grand finale...
Don't ask me about the face...I don't know.  I'm on a self timer and sometimes I take 10 million pictures and they all look awful so I just go with the least awful.  

So, a few noteworthy points.  I am pretty much the same weight in my beta and gamma pics.  Crazy to me because I feel so much leaner {not lean though}.  I feel like I have a lot more muscle too.  I am starting to notice muscles in places I've never felt them before and that is cool!  I don't know if it's just me but I can even see some muscle in the front facing pic, in my upper thighs!  I'm also seeing a lot of changes in my shoulders, which I didn't even realize till I looked at pictures.  My arms have always been a problem area for me and I actually feel my biceps now!  I love it!  My stomach is still my problem area, easily.  I blame two pregnancies and two c-sections.  But it's getting better, slowly but surely.  It's funny how from the front I am totally cool with the way I look but turn me sideways and I get a little self conscious again...

And now, from start to finish...

Crazy to me that this all happened in FOUR months.  FOUR!  I'm proud of myself for sticking with it.  I'm glad that I made it a priority every day.  I never thought I'd be where I am right now but so happy that I am.  I'm glad I started when I did because I feel pretty confident in a bikini, most days.  

I just want to say one thing.  The purpose of me posting these updates every few weeks isn't to toot my own horn.  It's not to sell another T25 program.  It's not to make other people feel badly about themselves.  By posting these pictures I hope to inspire someone to make a change in her life.  To prove that moms can bounce back after a baby.  To give hope to that 9 month pregnant lady out there who thinks she'll never get her pre-baby body back.  I want moms to realize that we can make ourselves a priority for 25 minutes a day and so something FOR ourselves to better ourselves.  It can be done and I hope you realize that too.  I hope you reach your goals you set for yourself.  If you haven't started your journey and keep saying, "tomorrow", I hope this is your sign to start TODAY.  

As always, if you have questions please let me know!

GET IT DONE: IN  25 MINUTES A DAY!

  4. Weight has always been a struggle of mine - I finally felt like I was in a good place and then we went and got pregnant (it was totally planned and I am super psyched!)! Anyway, I'm about 18 weeks along and I've already been thinking about how I'm going to get myself back into shape in the cold, dreary Wisconsin winter. I'd LOVE to get more T25 information from you (what it involves, cost, etc).

    Congratulations on sticking with it and working your tail off. You look (and sounds like you feel) fantastic!

  5. Congratulations! You look awesome and I admire your determination! You have motivated me to finally get back into shape after my second pregnancy.

    I would love to know more about the T25 program and what being a beachbody coach consists of (costs and how you make money from it)?
    Thank you,

  6. Great results - congrats! I did about 10 weeks of T25 and I'm now doing Piyo. I have a low back/disc problem and SUPER tight hamstrings and hips so I needed something with a little less impact.

  10. You look great! Great job!
    I'm still doing some workouts from T25 because I actually LIKE them and I have some crazy muscle going on! I plan to start running again in the Fall when my big kids are back in school. I do miss it, so a running/T25 hybrid is my plan!

  12. You were the one who inspired me after your first post. I have finished my Beta round (but didn't take pics :( ) I really wanted to get gamma but with the kids b-day parties being one month apart I am strapped on funds. Someday I will own it. You look amazing and you deserve to "toot your own horn".

  13. Just amazing! You look amazing. Proud of you for staying with it. Whenever I hear someone talk about beachbody, I tell them about t25 and your results...how much (pounds/inches) did you lose?

  14. Hi my friend, I've tried to purchase the T25 program but they don't ship to South Africa - is there any other way of making the purchase? Would you consider me paying you online to please buy me the program and post it for me? I will for the program, the postage and any admin for you to do it? xx

  17. Thank you for posting this! I just started T25 and did a random search for T25 results and was blown away by your results! Great job, and I can't wait to finish the program myself!

  19. I think you actually deserve to toot your own horn a little bit. T25 is tough and you look amazing. Well done!

  20. Congrats! You look great! I just finished Gamma and am now on my second week of Gamma Hybrid. It has changed my life, as I never exercised before. Now I work out 6 days a week and I don't let anything stand in the way. I've lost weight and am starting to see definition, but I still have a long way to go. But I plan to stay with it for the long haul, probably starting over from Beta after I finish Gamma Hybrid. Thanks for sharing your pics and story.
