I just recently purchased this book and loved it.

I decided that since I’ve been hitting a plateau and my body hasn’t changed in a long time, I am going to give the 6 month program outlined in this book a try. Has anyone tried it?

I want to be fit. I still have body fat to lose and muscle to gain. Im currently trying to reasses and clean up my diet (reading Eat Clean by Tosca Reno), and I am going to follow the routines outline in the book. I am also going to maintain cardio sessions to to create a deficient in my diet for fat lose.

Anyone try this? Anyone have any comments, suggestions, anything?

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve really kicked into high gear at the gym. Ive been going steady for 5 days a week and really sweating. I do 40 min of cardio and alternate upper and lower body when strength training.

Problem is, Ive been stepping on the scale lately and the weight has been consistency going UP. What gives??!

I usually work out but lately I took some time off cause of sickness, its not like my body is not used to working out!

Ive been slowly but surely improving my diet, but I definitely have not been eating MORE. What gives??!

When I looked at pictures of myself back in November, I knew I needed a change. I was so unhappy with myself and knew that a lot of my unhappiness had to do with excessive weight so I made a plan. I hit the gym 5 days a week, I watched what I ate and started to quickly notice results. However by spring time, I had plateaued. I wasn’t seeing any more results. It’s now July and I am back in the swing of things, back at the gym 5 times a week, working hard, pushing hard. I have to break through this plateau! I don’t want to go back to where I started from. My routine usually consists of 30-40 mins of cardio and then I hit the weight room and alternatre upper and lower body. I have started jogging in a forest trail close to home a couple of times a week as a challenge, also I have decided to sign up for some classes. Now, as for diet, I am lost. It seems like the more information you try to learn, the more you realize how much you don’t know and how much information is out there. I don’t want to go on a ‘diet’, I want to adapt healthy eating habits. I want to be able to cook for myself and make healthy delicious meals (not bland bird feed). I just need a change in all aspects - diet and fitness. Can anyone here offer some advice on how I can break though this barrier?

I want to feel the joy of success again and not feel stuck anymore. I am tired of this body. I know I have what it takes to be fit.
