Hey, is anyone else doing the livefit 12 week program? I'm looking for friends who are doing the same thing, tomorrow will be day 1 for me. Can't wait to get started! If you are doing the program, any tips on keeping motivated and sticking with it? Do you use whey protein? And if so what brand? Thanks!

    i know what youre talking about :) im just doing a different program by her.
    im not sure teh exact differences but i know for staying motivated i use the fact that i spent $$ on my barbell/dumbbell/weight bench set and i dont want that money to go to waste lol its actually fun for me to see how much stronger im getting each week.
    as far as whey protein goes, i picked up a bag of cytosport vanilla at costco. its not too bad - i dont like it much with plain water, but when i mix it with other stuff + water its better. sometimes ill also mix it with milk if i need the extra calories.

    Awesome! I'm glad to hear someone is doing something similar. Is the different program also for 12 weeks? I will probably use the protein powder mostly in Jamie Eason's recipes, or if I'm lacking time to prep meals. I want to try her carrot cake protein bars, they sound pretty good. I had two people tell me the optimium performance whey brand tastes pretty good. So I might have to try that. I hope I can find something that tastes okay, especially if I have to drink the stuff for 12 weeks. haha.

    Good luck with your goals!

    I'm on week 11 of Jamie's program. It works, I have more muscle definition than I have ever had. The first four weeks are difficult to get used to because you are muscle building and you eat all the time, something I'm not good at but it gets easier as you go. When I finish I plan to start over and follow the clean diet more and stick to the no cardio as the plan calls for in the first four weeks.

    Wow, you're on week 11???? That is awesome! I just hope I can make it that far, I sure hope I won't break and not complete the program. That's my biggest concern. Are you using any whey protein shakes? If so, what brand are you using?

    This is exciting to hear!

    Is anyone still doing this program? If so, any results? How do you feel? I want to start it but afraid to go to the gym by myself and use the machines it calls for. I know, I'm a wuss. Anyone for encouragement?

    I signed up for it, but broke my ankle when I was going to start, and couldn't do it. Now that my ankle is almost better and the spring racing season is here, I don't want to give up my cardio to follow the plan.
