I was trying to collect my results over the past 3 months (as shown above) from online posts, and I must admit I got a bit confused… It appears that I am not scientifically adept at collecting data. I can be certain of two things though – my starting point and my end results:
7.3lb loss (half a stone) and 11.25 inches lost!!!
So I did it… I finished Body For Life!
I went from looking like picture (A) 12 weeks ago to picture (B) today… what do you think?
I folded down the top of my leggings in today’s picture as the top looked really baggy; it was really loose = result number 1! I haven’t exactly got the Shakira abs I was hoping for, but I can definitely see a lot more definition around my waist… and I am down a dress size! Physically I am stronger and healthier too.
Time then for me to offer up a proper review of Bill Phillip’s Body For Life plan:
FITNESS PLAN: BODY FOR LIFE
High Points
Realising I had stumbled across a plan that totally ‘clicked’ with me… I feel like I have a stronger hold on my exercise and nutrition habits and been given the key to my journey towards everlasting health and fitness – no more weight fluctuations!
Low Points
After month two I began to get really bored of the structured exercise routines. I adapted the nutritional advice at week 7 to see a weight loss and I tried to alter the exercises, but the damage was already done… My waning affection led me to be less disciplined in the last month and I did not follow the plan as religiously as I should have done
Exercise Effect
Not too shabby, although I like to be more spontaneous and adventurous with my training . Very good for drilling down the amount of daily exercise you should be doing to see results, and kudos for using high intensity cardio intervals… but I was still bored. With a little more passion I could have easily seen more muscle definition and strength gains
Nutrition News
This was the high point of the plan for me… It built upon a lot of the nutritional ideas I already held, and with a little adaptation it worked really well. I am eating better than ever and replaced all my old bad habits with healthy new ones. I will continue to build upon the lessons I have learned on this plan and use the basic guidance forever… maybe with a little less cottage cheese though
Closing Thoughts
Eye-opening… A great basic introduction to the core components of leading a healthy life. The plan is not about losing weight, it is about creating a stronger and fitter you… and I definitely feel like a stronger and fitter SJ; job done! X x
Overall Rating
Out with an old plan and in with a new… watch this space!
See you soon, ♥ SJ x x
