there is no miracle.

ever.

it's all sweat, blood and hard work and a desire to want it badly enough.

Can I put this on my wall? Great statement and it says it all !

And she obviously knows what she is talking about.

Absolute truth. People selling BS plans on "miracle" diet techniques are just looking to make money.

It isn't a "diet" nor do they quote "miracle" anywhere.
It is a workout program. However, can't find much information on it so I am not exactly sure if it is a DVD program you get, like BeachBody programs (which are HARD work) or if it is just books, which I do not want.

The Venus program appears to be a good one, but primarily focused on aesthetic, vs. functional strength. They appear to have a good mix of recommended exercise for women, focused on lifting, some cardio. They have podcasts, and an integrative website. Another poster recommended californiagirl2012 as a go to resource about this, I would agree, as well as the link provided. I believe it runs around 79.00 a month, but check it out with californiagirl2012, she will steer you right.

It is not 79.00 a month. It's a 79.00 one time fee for the ebooks. And they are ebooks. With your purchase, you get access to the forums (which are an amazing resource, btw). They also have blogs, which you can set up for yourself. You can print off the workouts and take them to the gym or just keep them for home use. There are links to videos of every exercise, showing you exactly how to do it.

I can tell you, It is so worth it. It is not a miracle system. It is still calories in, calories out, very MFP friendly. Most people track cals on here, loseit, or spark people. It is challenging, to be sure, but it is also accessible. There is calorie software that helps you find the appropriate amount you should be eating based on where you are in your weight loss goals. It is based on an aesthetic, which I actually really like. It gives you something to aim for, rather than just willy nilly dieting and/or working out. I've used Beachbody systems and done crossfit, but each time (I put on weight, both muscle and fat, really easily, btw) I would get fitter, but bulk up in all the wrong places. With VF, I have more control over where I put on muscle because I am training for a specific look.

I have used the program for several years. Two years ago, I used it to lose about 15 pounds and completely recomp my body. I didn't know how to do maintenance, though, so I rebounded. I put on about 30 pounds (not all fat... I'm definitely stronger than I was) and am now using their principles to steadily lose again. I have just entered their most recent contest (open to all people who buy the venus factor system). You can go to the venus factor blog and see the results people have had from the contests. It's not BS. It's hard work, but it's worth it.

Also, the community is absolutely invaluable. The women are so helpful and encouraging. All newbies get discouraged and overwhelmed at first, but the ladies just lift you up. There is no cattiness. It's amazing and wonderful. You can always try it out and get a refund if you hate it. They're awesome about that.

And actually, guys, there is only a $47 dollar one time fee for access to the community, calorie software, and workouts and any updates to the workouts.

The 79.00/month is a payment plan for Immersion, which is a program you can buy (I think it's total 700 dollars or something) where you will get access to all products they have out now and any they will come out with later, plus podcasts that are only available to immersion clients. I did a free trial of it and it's really great. I'm just a poor college student and couldn't swing the payment at that time. I am almost certainly going to buy immersion once I get a steady paycheck again.

It's really a great system, and the guys are on the community all the time. They're solid.

As a user I can say it was very helpful for a beginner such as myself, I am currently on the fourth week out of twelve and I am still sticking with it which is a good sign. Here is a review I found helpful from a user http://www.venusfactortruth.com

I've tried all the miracles out there and they all seem to be about how to avoid putting the work in. My miracle is knowing that when I'm drenched in sweat I had a good day.

Hi, I bought the program and read the 85 page booklet explaining it. It has very basic, sensible information about the female body, the metabolic rate,calories, dieting and exercising. What I found is that it has given me back my own point of view so I can follow my own good sense about my personal weight loss program. It is a program I am following as it took a sea of rules, opinions, friends advice, diet programs and simplified it into some good practical guidelines for me.
The down side is how many sales emails I get promoting special offers on supplementary things I can buy. It makes it seem all hype and sales, but I just stuck to understanding the basic program first and then I was able to decide if I wanted anything else or not.
It is true there are no miracles but this is program not a miracle. I still have to watch my calories, fat and sugar intake and I still have to exercise but the information here has helped me guide myself on a more successful path.

Boy, people are fond of saying no-miracles-you've-got-to-do-the-work on here. They're right of course. And, there are good programs out there. And yes, you will work. And NO, it doesn't have to be 'insane' work either. A good program can meet you effectively whatever level you're at. I recommend Visual Impact over Venus Factor. If you want to know the philosophy behind it look at Rusty Moore's Fitness Black Book blog. Link to his stuff from my profile. Good, solid info for working as smart as you do 'hard'.

If you're referring to John Barban's Venus Factor, I'd recommend it. I came across his Adonis Index program for men about six months ago and I've had great results.

For men, it's about developing the ideal shoulder-to-waist ratio based on your height. The workouts are customized based on your body type. There's a ton of variety so you're constantly challenged and it never gets boring. There are videos for all the exercises, a nutritional plan that works well with myfitnesspal, and you can download it to your phone so it's right at your fingertips while you're at the gym.

My understanding is that the Venus Factor includes a couple of other measurements involved in determining your ideal ratios, but the rest should be pretty much the same. Follow the program and you'll get results.

http://www.venusfactorinfo.com/review/ had some good videos showing you what all you get with the program so you can at least have an idea what your money gets you
