 If I can do it.... June 5, 2009
Ayla (Providence, RI USA)
I am 58 years old. In the mid 90s, I weighed 109 lbs. at age 44. Then I went back to school - 2 years later, I was 140. Then I quit smoking. Since then I have bounced between 138 (occasionally) and 150 (more often). My bmi reached 37% at one point. Through all that time, I have worked out on and off, and I am fairly strong. But have never lost much weight. My goal weight is 126. I've always told people that I was pretty cut - under the fat. This past Christmas, I was horrified to reach my highest weight - 156. Over the next 3 months, I was able to lose about 8 lbs. And that's where I was two weeks ago - 147.
This morning, I weigh 135.5. I am just down a size in my jeans (although in the smaller size there's still a little - Not a lot like before - of muffin top). I have lost 3 inches on my waist, 1.5 on my chest (sadly), 1.5 on my hips, 1 inch on my thighs, and 1 inch on my upper arms. Because my belly is the worst, I also measure the widest, just below my naval, and I am down 3 inches there as well. My bmi is 23%
I was very motivated by the "2 week" plan, because I thought I could do anything for 2 weeks. I felt a little hungry the first couple of days, but nothing drastic (and that feeling left after 3 or 4 days), and believe me, when you get on the scale the 3rd day and see you've lost 4 lbs. you lose all desire to cheat. I just "decided" that I would not cheat even a little bit. At the end of the first week I had dropped 8 lbs. (By the way, the recipes I have tried are delicious.)
I love the workout - it would be tough for me to follow without the video. David keeps you moving quickly. He's serious and there's no annoying fluff in the video. I have never done a video that I wasn't watching the clock, but the time flies with this The shorter ones are really great- you're done in no time. Because I'm used to working out a little, I might find it less challenging than some who have not been, but it's still challenging - very challenging. I did the pre-core workout one day, and that'll do it for you also. Keep at it! You will improve daily and at the end of the 2 weeks you will be amazed at what you can do. I realized this morning that I am going way lower in my pushups than I have ever before!! The exercises are challenging but not complicated. They're fun, and they don't do too long, so by the time you start wishing the set was over, it is.
For my cardio (I DETEST cardio), I decided to start running, so I have started using the Couch to 5K running program. There are some nice podcasts online that get you with the 9 week program (search Robert Ullrey). Finally, for those rainy days I use a Biggest Loser cardio dvd.
I feel great. I LOVE getting dressed in the morning. I am so motivated to keep exercising. And now that I'm ready to move to the next phase, there's really nothing that I want to add back into my diet that I haven't had. Except maybe a glass of red wine.
I'm in really good shape. I have 10 lbs. to go, which I know I'll make, and then I'll look amazing. And, by the way, there's nothing better than being 58 years old and knowing you're in better shape than you were at 25!
Holy cow!! I'm actually looking forward to going bathing suit shopping!!
 Ultimate plan for people who need to lose 5 to 10 pounds. March 16, 2009
Debra Welch
I read this book cover to cover over a 3 day period while I was working out on the elliptical machine at my gym. When I first started the book I was really pumped about doing it, and doing it to the letter of the book. As I got through the testimonies from the participants it became clear to me this was only for people who were looking to lose 5 to 10 pounds. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars because what the book addresses works. I read the intro via Amazon, and thought it was for people that were fit and since i had been working out for the last 8 months, ( 5 days a week) that I was ready for the commitment. I got through all the exercises and yes I could do most of them, I just was not ready for a stringent regimin of the exercises along with the limited eating plan. I have taken some of the exercises and used them as part of my routine but I am no where near ready for this plan. I guess what really turned me off the most was Heidi Klum's testimony. I mean for the love of peat, it's Heidi Klum, I am no where near that. It just wasn't realistic for me, and I could have done without her input. I think the purpose of those testimonies is to identify with the people, to draw inspiration from them. I felt no inspiration from her just the feeling that I could never measure up.

This book and DVD is an effective and time efficient way to get fit. Within 2 weeks you can see the results. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about losing weight and getting fit.
it's not easy but it seems to be working July 3, 2008

I highly recommend getting the book with the DVD because it really helps to see how the exercises are supposed to be done. I first got the book without the DVD and it was taking me over an hour to do the 45 minute workout. Now I see that it can actually be done in 45 minutes.
I'm only on day 4 of the plan and so far so good - I've already lost 3 pounds. I find that I am spending a lot of time preparing meals but I rarely cook so it may not be bad for someone who cooks most of their meals. The exercise requirement is tough but I'm looking at it as my personal 2 week boot camp.
that's all. good luck.

The book was fine, but I found the diet unrealistic. There were too many things to buy and cook. If I had a personal chef, it would have been great! I found it a total waste of my money.
