    I'm actually starting the LiveFit program today!! I'm really excited about it! I started a couple of months ago but cancelled our gym membership. I just got a new membership and I'm ready to give this a try again!

    So TacoLeda you are in Phase 3? How have you done with the eating side of this? I struggle with making good food choices.

    Welcome!!! I can confidently say that you WILL see changes to your body within 2 weeks.
    And yep---I'm in week-2 of Phase 3 and to be honest, I do not follow her eating plan. For me, making good food choices is so difficult because I'm an emotional eater. But with this program, I do all the work and as for food, I just go with my own flow and stick to trying to eat healthy about 5 times a week.
    I definitely allow treats but that's what keeps me SANE. I find myself really annoyed if I have to eat salad 24/7, so I try hard to eat what feels healthy but also "normal" for me! That includes regular servings of pasta (once a week) and soups and low-carb tortillas.

    And you know what? Even with all that food, I have STILL seen amazing changes to my body.

    I have one big request though: if you can, do NOT weigh yourself at all for the first month. The scale drove me CRAZY and really made me almost quit once or twice because the numbers wouldn't budget, and yet my clothes were fitting more loosely everywhere! If you can, put that scale away and DEFINITELY TAKE PICTURES EVERY MONTH! :happy:

    When I got the plan off of BodyBuilding.com I read some of the user comments. A lot of people mentioned that they actually gained weight during the first phase. But over the last year I realized I didn't care much about my weight as long as I was toned. I will weigh myself (out of habit & curiosity) but I promise I won't dwell over it!

    I don't plan to stick to the food part 100% because it is pretty boring. I have taken the basics and built from those though. Thanks for the help!

    I actually did weigh myself this past Monday, to see if I'd lost anything through lifting and clean eating, and I lost 3.8 lbs! I've got a lot to lose, and I've seen before that eating clean really helps me drop weight quickly. I'll probably gain a bit this week and next (though I don't want to. I'm simultaneously doing a DietBet through Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans), but that's just how this journey goes. I actually convinced my sister to do week 2 day 3 (legs) with me last night. That was fun, having someone doing it with me. :smile:
