A screenshot of an email rather than a body photo, sent mid-program by a man in his 30s. The note speaks to the felt experience early in a 5 week protocol, the mood shift that tends to arrive before the visible fat loss before and after men typically photograph at the end.

Three weeks in, six pounds down, and actually enjoying the workouts for the first time ever. Bit of a shock.

Member, unknown

A written check-in from a member three weeks into the program, reporting roughly 6 lb down and a new relationship with training.
