Petra only lost 4 pounds, but her measurements tell a different story with over 8 inches lost.  Her before and after photos show a major difference as well, especially in her midsection.  Way to go Petra, keep pushing!

From Petra:

I first heard about the original Fat Loss Project at the beginning of September last year. My friend Sarah mentioned it in her blog and it sounded like something that I would really like to try. I didn’t apply that time, because I knew that during the challenge I would spend a week vacationing in Las Vegas. There would be no way that I would be able to stick to a strict diet and exercise regime during that week. So, I was very happy to find out that Coach Rylan was offering the Fat Loss Project II.

I did not waste any time thinking about whether or not I wanted to participate.  I had seen the results of the ladies who participated in the original Fat Loss Project and they were fantastic; very motivating!

My boyfriend wondered why Coach Rylan would set up a challenge to coincide with the holidays but, I knew that this is the time that people need the most help. At a time when most people are eating, drinking and being merry, I would lose weight and not experience the typical 5-8 pound holiday weight gain. Plus, I’m really not one for New Year’s resolutions that fall by the wayside a few weeks into the New Year. It was time for action immediately!

The best thing about this program was how complete it is. It’s not just a workout. It’s not just a diet. Coach Rylan provided us with the all the information we needed to succeed. He told us what, when and how much to eat, and we received daily e-mails detailing the workout for each day. This really was a program that required minimal thinking on our part; he spelled it out in detail. I loved not having to plan my menu – all I had to do was refer to the meal plan, buy the ingredients and follow the plan. Simple!

The exercises seemed pretty difficult when we first started, but as the weeks went by and the exercises got progressively more advanced, my strength and cardiac conditioning also increased. I started off using 5lb weights for most of the exercises, but quickly progress to 10, 12.5 and 15lb weights and as someone who has never run before, I was thrilled to be running 5.6mph for three minutes at a time by the time we finished the program. That would have been impossible in the beginning!

This past week, I was feeling disappointed about my lack of weight loss but, while I have not lost a huge amount of scale weight, I think the fat loss is evident in the photos and in my measurements. I see a difference in my waist and my bust is quite definitely lifted – a side effect I am definitely not disappointed with.

I am not at the end of  my fat loss journey, but Coach Rylan’s Fat Loss Project has definitely helped me not only not gain but, actually, lose fat during the holidays. What more could a girl ask for?!

When I first got serious about losing weight and joined my gym I paid hundreds of dollars for personal training. The quality, or to be more precise, the lack of quality of the training was such that I truly regretted spending that much money. I place a much higher value on the information and guidance that Coach Rylan provided throughout this program. I would definitely recommend the Fat Loss Project or any of Coach Rylan’s programs to anyone – man or woman – who is looking to lose fat and firm up any saggy, flabby bits!

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity Coach. I’ve had a blast!

At 61 years old, Louise shed 8 pounds and 7 inches, proving that even over the holidays you can lose weight while others are packing it on.  Nice work Louise!

From Louise:

I found Coach Rylan’s program about seven months ago in a CNN article.  After reading about his program I purchased the “Go Sleeveless Gold Package” but have never used it because right after my purchase I saw the results a friend got from following a different program.  I purchased it and tried to follow it for three months but instead of losing weight I gained ten pounds.  This other program requires you to do the training while watching the video which did not work for me as my TV is not where my equipment is.  Additionally I could not do the training and go to my fitness center since I could not watch the video there.  My friend had worked out at home along with her husband.

Initially I was avoiding the scale, but when my clothes were getting snugger I eventually decided it was time to see what kind of damage I did. This was when Coach Rylan offered the first Fat Loss Program but I could not apply for it as we were leaving on an extended vacation.   Lucky for me, Coach Rylan decided to offer another program and I knew I had to be included.
I was not skeptical about the program as Coach posted the results of several participants of the first round.  I have been doing resistance training for a number of years so I did not doubt my own ability to participate in strength training.  I normally follow a pretty healthy diet and rarely overindulge.
The numbers show my results which I think are very good, especially considering our six week program ran through the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and all they entail.  I am particularly pleased with the inches lost as this translates directly to better fitting clothes.

I would recommend this program to any woman wanting to get into better shape.  The thing I like best about this program is the concise videos which show what needs to be done.  Since they are short I can replay them whenever necessary to assure I am doing the training properly.   This is something that failed me on the other program I tried.  I am impressed with Coach Rylan’s knowledge of what works to whip women’s bodies into shape.  The fitness center I have been training at for years is staffed by several women with full degrees in kinesiology but the personal training that I took there did not deliver much in the way of results.  I got visible results with Coach Rylan’s program.

At this time it is difficult to put a value on the results.  Going forward I want to try the program again myself and then the Workout of The Month Club to see is I can continue down this slippery weight loss slope.

Helen lost another 10 inches and 6.5 pounds, including 2 inches from her arms and 3 whopping inches from her abdomen in her second round of the fat loss project.  Nice to see those results still happening Helen!  Way to go!

From Helen:

This is my 2nd cycle with Coach Rylan’s program.  I have been battling my weight for the past 10 years and losing the same 10 lbs over and over again!

I came in contact with Coach Rylan’s program while surfing the NET for exercise and weight loss tips.  I kept coming back to his advertisement, but never bought anything.  I kept thinking that I could just do it myself.  But, I tend to give myself too many cheat meals, which turn into days! So, when Coach Rylan offered this program for free to try out as guinea pigs, I thought, why not?

I was skeptical because I have never given myself over to anyone else to control my eating and exercise.  I was expecting to lose more weight than I did, but I now realize that it isn’t just about the weight, but more about losing the fat and getting fit.

I lost 3.7kg (8 pounds) and a total of 8 inches in the first round and another 2.95kg (6.5 pounds) and 10 inches in the 2nd round.  I only have a little way to go before I am at my goal weight!  I have committed to staying with the program as a lifestyle.

I was surprised to find that the program is based on sound principles that I had been trying to follow.  The program allowed me to have more structure and gave me accountability.  I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to get fit and lose unwanted fat.

I have no idea what dollar value to place on what I have achieved.  To me it has been invaluable.  I’ve read about having low carb days and low fat days, but I never had the time to sit down and calculate it all out.  With Coach Rylan’s Fat Loss Program, I didn’t have to think or calculate, but just follow what was laid out before me.  To me that seems priceless!  A big thanks for the opportunity to prove to myself that I can change my lifestyle, not just lose weight and then go back to the same-old, same-old and have the weight and FAT return.

Thanks, Coach Rylan!

While Pat only lost 5 pounds, she lost considerably more in inches, including 3 inches off of her hips, and another 2 inches off of her waist. As I’ve often commented before, weight loss alone is never a good indicator of true results. The fact that Pat lost 5 inches from just her mid-section alone speaks to fat loss far in excess of what the scale is telling her.

From Patricia:

I found Coach Rylan’s program on the internet. I wanted to lose weight, learn to  keep the weight off,  and get my muscles stronger.

On the first program the results were  amazing, so I did not hesitate to take another. On this one the weight loss slowed down, but the inches still came off and my muscles are stronger.

I would recommend this program to anyone. The best thing about the program was learning how to do this at home with minimum equipment. The results have been priceless.

Cynthia lost 13 pounds, and 16 total inches.  Her inches lost are incredible for just 6 short weeks.  This includes 3 inches lost from her arms alone, and a total 5 inches off of her thighs.  Well done Cynthia, you should be very proud of your hard work!

From Cynthia:

A friend told me about Coach Rylan’s website.  I will be turning 50 later this month and I am ready to get in shape so that’s what motivated me to take action and do the program.  I wasn’t skeptical about the program, only that I would be doing it over the holidays.  My results were that I feel stronger, lost inches, and lost weight.  I feel I can continue and be successful.  While I wasn’t surprised by  my results, I was very pleased.  The best thing about the program was the accountability.

I would recommend this program to all my friends and family.   I can’t put a dollar value on Coach Rylan’s system because I think it would be worth anything to achieve the results I did, and get the boost in positive attitude that this program provided for me.
