I had been trying different ways of working out and loose weight. I have always been athletic - love to swim, climb, play sports, etc. - but I kept struggling with maintaining my ideal weight. During the pandemic my weight kept creeping up so I decided to try something more formal than I was used to.
I started the BWS Female lean program in August 2020 and now at the end of March 2021 I have lost a little over 20 pounds and went from 35% to 25% body fat. I did not expect these kind of results especially given my distaste for having to monitor what I eat and lifting weights. I have grown comfortable having to be mindful of what I eat and it makes sense from a scientific standpoint. I have also learned to like lifting because I actually feel stronger and the workouts aren't too long. I also have two slightly vain reasons for liking the program so much. I have been getting lots of compliments about looking fit (from men and women) and I have been able to get back into some of my college skinny clothes that I held on to for way too long - 40 is right around the corner for me.
Something that almost held me back from buying the program was how rigid the program would be. It's only as rigid as you make it. I still eat macarons like I will never see them again and do amounts of cardio that might make Jeremy nervous. I have learned new things about what my body can do, have grown to appreciate relaxing a little because I know it will not derail my achievements, and I have a renewed love of walking as a form getting activity in.
