I've been wearing my GWF for 2 months now, and I have not lost a single pound. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I am very anal about inputting my food intake. I measure and weigh everything. The computer shows a deficit of 250-500 calories everyday. You would think I would have lost at least...

One my second trip through STS. Just finish 8 weeks of Meso 1. I decided to do the 6 month rotation this time. All I can say is that I'm glad that I'm having a recovery week this week. I don't remember being so tired and sore the first time through. I'm lifting heavier though, so I'm sure that...

I just do cardio on my non STS days. I either run or spin or do a video if I don't feel like going to the gym. I try to get a minimum of 4 days of cardio on top of STS. Once I go to a regular work schedule at the end of this month (M-F), I will increase my cardio to 5 days per week.

I did P90x for a year. It was a warm up compared to STS.

I take mine as soon as I wake up and only with water. I try to wait at least an hour before I eat, but sometimes with my work schedule, I have to eat earlier or not eat at all. I take my BCPs 3-4 hours later, and I take my vitamins before bed.

I was thinking about getting the vest as well. I currently own a walkvest, and it's wonderful, but it only holds 16lbs. I noticed that Cathe's vest is shorter and appears to stop at the upper back. I was wondering if I could layer that vest over my current one to increase the total weight I'm...

I do them both, and have been through all the Mesos. I usually do the Plyo at the beginning of the week like Mon or Tues, and I do the leg workout on Friday. I have not had any issues.

WOW!!! You guys are some serious calorie burners. My GWF tells me that I barely burn anything. On my STS days, I get up to 1750-1800 calories. The days I get about 2200 are when I run 6-7 miles.

I purchased the GWF after finding out that it's made by the same company that makes the body bugg and is waaaay cheaper. I also purchased mine on Amazon. I bought the display and armband for $179. The same week I received it, Amazon dropped the price to $155, so I called them and they refunded...

I did the 3 month rotation the first time through, and I only took a break between meso 2 and 3. This time, I'm doing the 6 mos rotation, and I can't wait to get my recovery week in. I will be taking all of them this time.

Janis, Thank you for making the pound is a pound remark. I absolutely cringe whenever I hear people say muscle weighs more than fat. I'm a personal trainer, and I want to scream everytime I hear another one tell a client that. Thank you.

Are you eating something before plyo? Because you're doing resistance and cardio at the same time, you require more calories. You may be running out of energy and hitting a wall.

I used to have the worst problems going. Sometimes, I could go a whole week. Talk about uncomfortable. It turned out I was hypothyroid. Once I started taking Synthroid and got my thyroid working again, I started going everyday. It's been a blessing.

I currently have the Debbie Rocker walkvest, if anyone is familiar with it. It's a very nice thin, form fitting vest that holds up to 16lbs (google it). Anyways, I don't have access to a leg press machine, and I was wondering if I would be able to purchase Cathe's vest and wear it OVER the...

My Go wear fit told me I burned a little over 350 calories doing Kick Punch and Crunch. I was surprised. I expected to be closer to 200 calories. I only burn 250 doing plyo legs.

I did P90x for a year because there is no gym in my neighborhood, and it was the only thing available at the time. It was a good program when I used it, but STS far outshines it. If anything, I found P90x to be repetitive. My first round of STS was the 3 month rotation. It went by so quickly for...

I had horrible pain under my knee while I was training for my marathon. I let my husband who is not a doctor, convince me it was shin splints. I kept training and ran the race. As you can imagine, it only got worse. I was forced to take 3 mos off from running and all high impact activites. The...

I ran my first marathon without orthotics, and I ended up running the race with a torn patella tendon (didn't know it was torn and just ran through the pain). Now, I have the orthotics, and I LOVE them. Worth every sent I paid. It feels like I'm running on a pillow. I don't notice the jarring. I...

I don't recall DOMS in Meso 3, but I do remember getting the best sleeps I've ever had in my life. I would pass out at the end of the day and sleep all the way through the night. I suffer from insomnia, so that says a lot.

I used my step instead of a bench and dumbbells instead of a barbell. It must have worked because I could feel it for 2 days afterwards EVERY TIME I worked chest. I think the trick is to make sure you push heavy enough weights for you.
