Nothing : ( I had awesome results w/ CLX so I was expecting the same from this. I decided to give up on phase 3 and move on to Dream Body again. That always shrinks my waistline. I just feel disappointed because summer is when I have most time to workout and usually look my best. I had 10lbs extra this season from a stressful & exhausting winter/spring and I feel like I wasted time w/ D2S.
It's not a bad program, I would have to tweak it to do less reps (5-8) w/ heavier weight in phase 2 and 3. |

I hope to get back into this series and see how it goes. I will struggle with the arms, though. I like working biceps directly although I know they get worked with the pulling motions.

I've been actually doing this rotation (I never do rotations) and was a bit unhappy that after finishing the first phase, I had absolutely no changes. Actually, I had gained two pounds. Now, I'm into the third week of Phase II and I'm a happy camper. I've lost a half inch in my upper arms, an inch on my hips, an inch and a half in my bust and, the most important part -for me- is an inch and a half in my waist. My menopause middle has been causing me lots of angst and this is a definite 'hurray' moment for me.
And, I've also noticed that she doesn't do any abs/core moves such as sit-ups -- it's all plank or strength-type movements. I think that might be why I'm seeing these results. That, and these moves are FIRST in the workouts, not last (where I can avoid them).

I think you should. I know we're all different, but I was reading all these success stories from this program and thinking, 'what gives?' Literally, in the past week or week and a half, I saw results. Now I'm excited to finish Phase II next week and move on to Phase III.
