    So I'm on week 3 of Phase 1 and I decided to measure myself just for the fun of it over the weekend to see if there's been any changes yet (my plan is to measure/weigh every 2 weeks and take pics every 4) I was pleasantly surprised!! I've lost inches just after a couple of weeks I was so excited!! Don't have my measurements with me right now but will post them as soon as I get em from home. Can't WAIT to see the end results!! m:bigsmile:

    Hey everyone! I started this on Monday, so I've only done a few workouts, but I have exactly 12 weeks until my trip to Vegas and I intend to use this plan to kick *kitten*! I have some weight to lose, but I'm mostly interested in getting in better shape. I'll just see what toning and weight loss comes of this. I love lifting, so I'm thrilled about this first phase, although I probably will end up doing some occasional cardio. I have knee issues, so leg days will have to be modified. But my upper body feels awesome after the first two days! And I didn't even get any sore shoulders and tension headaches, yay!

    Hello and welcome! I know you were sore! I have to admit that every week since I started, my legs are always sore after my workouts for at least a couple of days! I love that feeling!!

    This is my last week of Phase 1! I wish I knew you guys were out there sooner! But so far I'm loving it, I put up my before pic and I'll be doing progress pics for each phase I'm hoping to drop my body fat down 2 more percent to 15% and maybe even lose a couple lbs. I love legs days!

    Awesome job! I'm a bit nervous about this program right now and if it's what I need - I'm still looking to lose weight and the first two phases pretty much prevent it. I'm wondering if I should start incorporating cardio anyway, and when I get down to goal weight redo the program with more focus on the muscle building. Right now I have a bit too much fat for it all to show through!

    Welcome!! Be sure to measure because I didn't lose any weight, in fact, I gained a little! I did lose 6 inches overall!!
    Good luck and keep us posted!!

    Welcome and you look great! I love leg days too! I have to tell you that I have continued to be sore after each leg workout...not like the initial leg workout, but every one since!! Let's me know I am working those muscles!! Good luck and keep us posted!!

    I am in the last week of Phase 2 and will measure, weigh and have my body fat analyzed this weekend. I have just under 30 lbs to go, and have been thinking that I should re-do Phase 2 before moving on to Phase 3. I do think that you should follow her plan as much as possible through Phase 1 and 2 and then start re-thinking where you need to go at that time! Just my thoughts!! Good luck!!

    for phase 1, I've been doing a ten min cardio warm up daily which is a mile run at least but just to warm my muscles. Looking ahead to phase 2 though there is enough cardio and strength to make up for phase 1's lack of cardio. The strength training actually builds muscle which burns more fat than cardio because it causes your body to burn fat for a longer period of time. So I would say stick with the program and as is and if anything may be do 2 rounds of phase 2 once you get there to continue cutting.

    Thanks for the warm welcome and compliment! I definitely will keep everyone posted :-) and I share the continued muscle soreness which I agree lets me know I'm doing something right! lol

    Okay, I'll try to stick with it for the most part. Since I'm still on the second week and there are only 4 days scheduled to workout I may throw a day of cardio in this weekend. 3 days off makes me eat too much lol. But after that the plan schedules for 5 days, and I'm a lot more comfortable with that. Other than that, I'll stick with the strength and just try to watch my calories. I'm not able to follow her food plan due to limited groceries, but staying with calorie limits should help a lot, as long as I'm getting enough protein.

    I know right, Kieva!! I am sore just about everywhere this week!!
    Tasha, definitely get that protein in!! I don't really think her program calls for expensive food, etc.... I've been making a lot of her recipes and they are very good! Definitely beats paying for store bought protein bars, and eating out!

    I completed my 1st week! OUCHIES, my body is super sore but I'm excited to feel it :)

    I took measurements and took tons of before pictures so I will do this for every phase. I am not anticipating weight loss but looking forward to a leaner body! Good luck to everyone in their current phase.
