On the fitness level I am very proud of my increased flexibility and strength. Each day that goes by I can see the improvement in how well I execute the moves. I find the exercise program to be very easy and adjustable to different fitness levels. On the other hand it is also fun and provides ways for me to challenge myself. Plus I have the freedom to do it at home at my convenience. The concentrated exercises on the muscle groups has allowed me to fit into clothes that I could not wear at this weight before. My inch measurements are nearly the same as when I was at 20 pounds less on the last diet. I have went down 2 to 3 sizes.
    In the begining it takes time to get used to preparing meals since most food is fresh, whole grains or made from scratch. I learned to change my thinking and put myself and my health first. Now I have so much free time I can do things I like for myself.

Update 2/05/2006
  I have finished my first 12 weeks. I lost 35 pounds and 38". I have signed myself up for another 12 weeks. I have purchase the 10 DVD special from Gilad and will mix some more intense routines into my program. I am still eating whole grains, fresh fruit and vegtables. I used no salt, sugar, sugar substitute, processed food, anything with chemical additives, or caffeine. I posted my pictures today and new stat sheet so take a look. Free free to email me with comments or questions.
Update 9/9/2006
I am still going strong and Have lost 46 lbs and 49 inches. I now wear size 16-18 down from 28w+. Can't beat that. I have purchased
Gilad's new DVDs and will alternate them with the QFS. I can now touch my elbow to my knee during the abs on the same side and hope the opposite sides will meet soon. I can also do both sets of real pushups and since I have 82 pounds to lose yet I think that is amazing. I also now substitute 3 cadrios per week with a heart stamina routine. I do QFS exercises to warm up then hit the elliptical for more warm up and 20 minutes with speed interval every 5 minutes and a 5 minute cooldown.
