6 Inches of her waist!  Read that again.  6 INCHES!  Are you kidding me?  Robin…wow!  Even though her after picture is a little over-exposed, you can clearly see the major inches lost from her waist and her legs.  That is amazing progress in only 6 short weeks.  just imagine where she’ll be in another 6 weeks!

I started off with a bang on this program, losing 6 pounds the first week. The weight loss, though steady, tapered off quite a bit, but I continued to lose inches at an amazing rate.  I’ve lost 2 dress sizes and, most amazingly, I’m off my blood pressure medication.

Was this difficult?  Very.  I work full time and go to law school at night, so finding time to work out and prepare all the meals was a challenge.  I don’t know that I could have done it for much longer, but I was committed to losing the weight and that commitment paid off.  I now have muscles in places that I had never been able to tone up before and that’s very exciting.  I can also do full push-ups which I have only been able to do one other time in my life (about 10 years ago).  And my stamina for running and other things has improved significantly.

Am I where I need to be?  No. I still have quite a bit more to do. This program has taught me not to be so concerned with the number on the scale as the number on the tape measure.  In that area, I still have work to do on my abs (waist down significantly, but abs still a problem), hips, thighs and arms.  I only lost 1/4″ off of each arm, but that 1/4″ made a huge difference in how I fit into a couple of blouses, so that was great.  I also have definitely developed some triceps.  Obviously still need to keep working, but the progress in just six weeks has been amazing.

Thanks so much for creating this program and for being so diligent about monitoring our progress and sending out information.  It was definitely worth the sweat and pain!
