I began your program 8 weeks ago and received the heart rate monitor 4 weeks ago BUT have not lost any weight! I have actually GAINED a pound and my goal is to lose about 15 lbs. Now, before you think this is a letter of complaint, let me tell you about the wonderful things that HAVE happened.
1. My clothes fit! Pants that I couldn't previously zip or that had to be unbuttoned in the afternoon can now be worn comfortably all day!
2. I have muscles again. My arms are firm and strong! I thought my arms were destined to only become flabbier as I approached 40. And I can feel muscles in my legs and backside.
3. I have chest muscles that I didn't know it was possible for me to have!! :)
4. My core is stronger. Yes, my belly still needs a lot of work after 3 babies and I won't be wearing a bikini anytime soon but yesterday I was at an hour long ceremony where I had to stand most of the time and had my sleeping 30 lb. 2 year-old DS in my arms the whole time. There wasn't a place to put him down. I was able to do it!!! My body was strong enough to hold him all that time without back pain or exhaustion!
5. I like how I look in my new bathing suits. I had been dreading buying suits, as I always have, and finally had to a few days ago. And guess what?!? I found two modest but cute suits that actually look and feel good on me! Thanks to you and your system!!
I do know the reason I am not losing weight by the way. I LOVE good food. I eat well, just too much. We grow organic veggies and I love to bake. I use whole grains and good fats but I just eat more of it than I should. I'm getting better at that and the scale has begun to nudge back down. I'll get the weight loss benefits of this soon too. But in the meantime I'm very happy with my results so far! Thank you!
