    My opinion... you paid for a program. Do what they've said for a week. Chart your food and weigh yourself at the end of week. If you've lost weight and that's not your goal inform the program that's not your goal. Their job will be to make it work. I exercise a lot and weight train. I'm 5'4". I eat 1200 a day. I do want to lose weight. I really tighten up my diet to stay in the 1200 range this month and I've lost 9 pounds. You'll see, I bet, in a week if its too low.

    So...if she doesn't want to lose weight, why would she eat the amount of calories to lose weight...?

    Yeah ill use the training guide, the calories I know are too low for me. It would send me into starvation mode lol.
    Good job on the weight loss :smile:

    Damn! Opposite for me. At 133 I got me some meaty meaty legs. With the same stats, you look a lot more fit than me and I lift heavy. Sigh..

    Easier with exercise. Sorry, I just thought I remembered you saying you are losing by deficit only.

    Why on earth would they give you such a big deficit when you aren't even trying to lose weight? I am so confused. Was the other information that you paid for helpful - the meal plan etc?

    That's what I thought. Im not new to gym either, I just finished a 12 week program (kayla itsines aswell as adding in my own lifting sessions) so im aware of my energy levels depending on how much food im consuming. If you asked anyone I know they would tell you im eating all the time lol but good foods, and cheats in moderation.

    The meal plan i was sent was literally for ONE day which shocked me, it was so basic, I could of written it myself in 2 seconds. The training guide was for one week. it also had ALOT of stready state cardio, which goes against everything i've seen about overdoing cardio when trying to build muslce
    ok all they did, really, was take your money and email and stats and spit out some crap. you prob won't get your $, though i think you should try. but you should name the company and give them an honest review (idk where would be best, here probably, because threads come up high in google searches).

    also yeah what is happening in that kyla itsines plan (just roughly) - you look fantastic. (other than 1450-1600 which would still kill me)

    Yeah true doh, exercise is the key.

    I've been using a fit bit for the last week and a half. Gone from 2000ish steps a day up to 20,000-25,000 . Couldn't keep putting it off...

    BTW OP, every time I see someone mention this kyla program or whatever it is, my mind shuts off. I do a power lifting program so that's where my mind is. But now I'm curious...

    like not asking for what you paid for, just - is it bodyweight circuits, plyo...

    though more than likely it's the cals :'(

    aha ok quick google - 5 days a week of cardio, alternating LISS and plyo (looks like), with resistance circuits, with 1450-1600 intake for someone of daniebanks' height (5'4 you said?)

    I think what she has designed is really great for girls, even just to help them learn about different exercises. I must admit I did add alot of extra lifting sessions in from about week 6 onwards as I felt I needed to push myself more. I cut alot of the cardio & I started tracking my food + macros with MFP which I found really beneficial.

    Yeah...I guess I never really got into the things that were "great for girls". But, interesting. Eyes opened. You look great.
