Has anyone done the Fitness Blender 8 week program? If so, would you mind sharing your thoughts/success? I just bought a copy of it and am excited to start!

    I do the workouts and love them, but I'm on maintenance so I don't bother with food programs.

    I like the looks of it (but I love EVERYTHING I've gotten from Fitness Blender), but my wife & I need to wait for the vegetarian version to come out. Hopefully soon....

    I'm on week 3 of the 8 week program and so far lost nothing, not a single pound lol but I feel great and energized! My endurance and flexibility has improved and all in all I love it. My husband thinks I didn't lose any because I gained muscle. So I won't complain :D I also tried the 8 week meal plan and had to stop because (might be where I live) it was costing me 300$ a week in groceries! but I did get some great recipe ideas that I've been using in my usual day to day eating :)

    Have you measured yourself to see if you've lost any inches?

    I just have a couple of days to go on round 1 of the 8 week program. I love it (and already bought round 2)!!! I only had about 6-8 kg to lose when I started. So far 3.5 kg have gone and lost about 5 cm on my waist and 1 on my hips. But I can see the difference - much more toned, clothes feel better and feel stronger overall. I really recommend it!

    I also bought their meal plan - so the results is a combination of both :wink:

    I don't have the food program, but I'm on Week 7 of Round 3 of the Fitness. I stick pretty well to it, though once in a while I do something different. I am not great about tracking my weight, but I've lost some, I'm guessing 8 pounds this time around. I've lost a lot of inches. My shape has changed a lot since I started these. My fitness level has improved a lot, too.

    I'm very morbidly obese and have difficulty with movement and exercise. I recently found Fitness Blender's Easy Warm Up Cardio on YouTube and I'm adding that to my daily walk. It's a lot of exercise for me! I really like their videos. Good luck to you!

    I haven't done the 8 week program yet but I am on day 12 of the 4 week plan for beginners. I dropped 5 pounds in the first week. I know that momentum won't last and it shouldn't because that is more weight loss in one week than I should have but it still felt fantastic! I can already tell that I am stronger than when I started. Some of the exercises I couldn't do or had to modify I am now doing. I LOVE their website and tell everyone about it!!! I purchased the 4 week meal plan but haven't followed it. Rather, I have used it for meal choice ideas and inspiration.

    After several surgeries in a short period of time, I found myself very out of shape and in need of drastic changes. I could barely bend over let alone touch my toes. I had lost all balance (a dislocated pelvis will do that to a person). I knew I had to start small and work up. Stretching and walking is what helped me get started. I recommend purchasing a few inexpensive stretching dvds to help you begin gaining strength and flexibility. I now do that in addition to fitnessblender and the difference is astounding. I have not lost a ton of weight overall but I have dropped inches. I am definitely stronger than I was six weeks ago. Some good dvds I found are AM & PM Stretching, Daily Stretch Conditioning (both from Gaiam and sold as a set for about $15) and Arthritis RX from Acacia (ordered that one online). It's worth a try.

    I just started a new group here....

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/20161-8-wk-fitnessblender-c25k-healthy-meal-challenge

    Please join us, I KNOW, beyond a shadow of a doubt that doing this 8 week program, combined with good eating and getting good quality sleep, I'm going to see and feel some dramatic result in my mind, body and soul. Spring and Summer, come-on....I'll be ready for you this year!

    Today was my first day doing the 8 week round 1 challenge and it was tremendous, so far I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT...If I can do it--anyone can! I'm going to LOVE this program.

    If anyone has looked at the vegetarian meal plan, how much tofu is used? I'm a vegetarian who avoids most soy products, so a lot of these types of plans are hard for me to use and still get enough protein.

    Looking to purchase one of their programs today, not sure which round to do or if it matters. Ive been using their videos on my own for about 2+ months so I don't want to go to go backwards.

    Does it matter if i purchase round 1 or 2? Opinions? thanks!

    You can do any of the rounds in any order. You may be doing some of the workouts that you have done before but this will give you a specific regiment to follow. No worries about going backwards!

    I purchased the 4 week plan for busy people. I use my own eating plan but in the first two weeks I've lost 5lbs. I have two more weeks to go and am hoping to lose another 5lbs but that may be unrealistic. I love their workouts and would recommend to anyone.

    I've completed the 8 week program Round 4 and I must say, it was intense but doable. I only lost 8lbs because we were out on weddings, family reunions every weekend but I noticed my legs, waist, and arms are skinnier, and more toned. I'm about to do the entire program again and this time I will stick to a healthier diet. Fitness blender programs are definitely worth buying. Good luck!
