I did one of your programs 2 years ago and have pretty much maintained my weight since then - The food side has really changed my life, so thank you ever so much.

Hi Allyson,  
 
Things went great on this program for me. I have lost a total of 6kg! My measurements are less everywhere and my clothes feel great. I am really, really pleased with my results. I have enjoyed the exercise program, the food and the process of achieving my goals.

Although I don’t really need to lose anymore weight I am going to keep going because I just feel so much better eating and exercising in this format.

I have learnt so much! It was only on the final day when I had my photos done that I actually got it; scale weight does not tell the whole story!!!!!!!! My photos were amazing! It looked as though I had washboard abs even though I wasn't even close to the scale weight I had wanted to be!

It was the first time that I actually loved my body - that I understand that I had awesome curves and eveything was there; it just took some studio lighting to show it! I am absolutely thrilled and I can't wait for you to see them!

I just cannot thank you all at IBO enough! The depletion week was the most life changing experience I have ever been through; I know now what it means to overcome adversity and to love myself! And I so do now! Genuinely. And with self love comes more results. I am so pleased to be off depletion and back to my eating plan throughout the 12 weeks and I'm excited about the next program and even the final week of that! I can't believe what a difference just losing those 5 kilos has made! I am so happy! I feel so well and strong!

Thank you sooooooooo much (I can't thank you enough) for all your support and genuine care and tips throughout my challenge. I feel like I have been given a second chance in this body!
And I am never giving up on myself again!

Hi Maxine,
 
Just a quick email to say that I love my new program, the weights program is soooooo much more fun!
 
Don't have any questions really, up to almost 8kms in my 45min run so very happy with that. I would have to say that the week just gone would have to be the first week I haven't written down what I've eaten; because I don't think about it anymore. I know what I have to eat, I prepare it and it sort of all happens now without me even noticing I'm doing it.

I love all my food on this program!
 
... I have more energy when I work out than if I don't, and I feel the best I have ever felt in years (physically and more importantly - how I feel about myself). I don't get tired after workouts or at the end of the day - I'm not sure why and I don't care, I just assume that my body's capabilities have improved so that this massive lifestyle change I implemented 7 weeks ago is now comfortable - yay!
 
Maxine / Sue, I would have to say that even though I am only starting week 8, completing this program would have to be the best thing I have ever done for myself. In saying that, I was at a point in my life where I was ready. I was highly motivated and so mentally ready that my commitment was just no question.
 
Thank you both so much for everything to date, because what I have already achieved I really thought would take years to achieve and now that I am dong these things after only weeks, already you have given me so much. 

Regards
 
Sarah

GAWD Sharna I'm shrinking!!  I bought myself a pair of size 14 jeans on the weekend as my 16's were hanging off me.  I've gone to the next row of hooks on my bra, I can see my body taking shape just how I wanted it to, I feel bloody wonderful, full of energy, but the biggest news is on some days when I'm mentally exhausted from work, I actually look forward to my workout, plug the i-pod in & it's "ME" time.... The "unfit" Donna would collapse on the lounge with junk-food! I am so much stronger, I have been increasing reps & challenging myself with "one more, two more etc." I use the weighted vest on the exercise bike & treadmill & really work up a sweat.  My clothes are looser, I am so rapt with the program so far.

Thanks for your feed back Sue... I must admit I didn't realise there had been such a change until I saw myself in the photos... especially as I didn't even do the 'final photo preparation' week... AND I had so many interruptions to the 12 week program. But, yes, I am also very happy... so far!!! As I said to Karen, not bad for an old lady of 47 who's had four kids!!
 
THANK YOU so much Sue for your brilliant website & WONDERFUL ladies that make all this possible. I'm looking forward to my next program... just to touch up :)
 
Cheers

Hi Maxine,
 
How was your week?
 
Mine was great! I feel sooooo good!
 
I used to get a lot of boating, but this seems to have pretty much gone...

You don't realise how important it is to give your body what it needs and I think being Vegan, which I have been for only 14 months, is hard because you don't really know if your getting what you need. So this program is fantastic for me in so many ways!

Firstly have to say - Week 3 Day 3 and I fit back into all my clothes from 3+ years ago - and they actually aren't as tight as they were when I bought them! Completely unexpected.  I AM NEVER EVER JOINING A GYM AGAIN!  What a complete waste of time and money when I can get the results at home with your program!!!!!!!!
