  • 9 weeks in, amazing results

    Level 12 on the Elliptical for 1 hour every day.
    Hour of weights 3 times a week.
    Extended induction.

    This is simply amazing to me. I went from a depressed couch potato, to dance classes 3x a week and dating again. Thank all of you for your wonderful support and kind words over the past 2 months.

      Thanks dude, you were the inspiration for me to get back into the weightlifting side. Doing it lighter than before, but it's helping a lot.

                        Amazing how your life turns around when you do more than "try to lose some weight." You have successfully adapted to the whole lifestyle change.

                        I am so proud of you! Good work!
