I started it this week and am LOVING it! Thought I'd pass it on to others who may not be so sure at the gym :) I love the videos to show technique if I need it = gives me confidence at the gym :)

    I need something with more weight now that the 14 week one helped condition my body and I learned how to use weights. I lost more inches than weights with her workout plan. I didn't follow the food plan though, I hope it works for you!

    Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! I am not really following the eating plan either, since I detest eggs and ALL dairy lol. I figure I know what's "bad" for me and what isn't. I can see I need less fruit though and more veggies. Boo. ;)

    Yeah I didn't follow the food plan and just did was good for me and it worked out great. I lost a couple inches and got a tad more defined, but nothing crazy as I was already at a pretty good stage

    I did this at the beginning of the year. I followed the food plan as well, though. Dropped about 6 lbs and a pants size (went from a 10 to an 8 and started the program with about 20 lbs to lose to meet my long term goal). Honestly, I think the diet is really what did it for me, it forced me to stay on track! But I've seen plenty of people doing it without with great results too. I'd like to do it again but the thought of those phase III workouts, ugh, they were so killer!

    @run2befree, how are you liking the lean body trainer? I was thinking about giving that one a go, but couldn't find much feedback about it

    I start next Sunday. My husband is doing the one by Chris Gethin and having wonderful results! I'm both excited and nervous at the same time.

  • Starting phase 2 today! Great program

    I'm finishing phase one this week. I had a rough couple weeks, when I missed, so I'm making up for it now, and will start phase 2 next week. :-).

    I'm not really following the meal plan, but I'm trying to track my food and eat clean.

    I have been reading up on it and am going to be starting it next week. I don't plan on really following the meal plan, may do some of it but I will continue to track my food on here.

    Good luck!

    I started and just did day 3 (phase 1) today. The meal plan is very filling. But, I follow TDEE and my maintenance is around 1600-1700 and I'm coming up short on my fats with her food plan. Wondering if this is okay? I either have to eat a scoop of peanut butter to reach my fat macros or skip it and come up short. I probably should just follow her meal plan precisely to give this program a fair go. Anyone else struggle with this? Her workouts are killing me. Love them so far!

    I am a little late on this but I just started - completed day 3 today. LOVE IT! I have been eating clean (for the most part) since January. How has the results been for everyone? I have lost over 100lbs but I still just over 190lbs so I'm curious how long it will take for the results.

    I started Live Fit on August 19th! I am liking it so far! I am trying my very best to follow her meal plan, I started off strong the first 2.5 weeks, then fell off the food wagon last week for 4 days or so, eating some things that weren't exactly great. lol. Anyway, I have one last workout for week 4, then I start phase 2 on Monday. I did a little cardio during phase 1, but nothing intense or everyday like I had been doing before. I am seeing some great improvement in strength! Yay! I also love her recipes I've tried so far, except the apple cinnamon protein bars, those are gross. haha! :) Anyone feel free to add me!!!

    I gotta laugh at whoever dropped a pant size doing LF. I feel like all I do is get bigger thighs and butt with all the heavy lifting! (but it's totally worth it!) Live Fit is what got me comfortable in the weight room and I love that. Phases 1 and 2 were great, I kinda spazzed out on phase 3 though. Too much time, and mixing circuit training with weight training just wasn't working for me. I still like to lift and then go do sprints though.

    I'm in phase 2 on week 6 and lovig it. I'm not following the meal plan exactly but Im using her recipes and increased protein. This is my second time doing this program. I did it last year but stopped towards the end of phase 3. This time I'm not quitting. So far I've lost 7lbs on the program and lots of inches. Feel free to add me

    I started the program but as my gym is not super fancy I don't have a lot of the machines so not following it completely!

    Started week 2 yesterday, just the workouts so far. Using mfp for calorie tracking...mostly.
