HER STORY, HER WORDS: When I first started this program, little did I know that this would become such a transformative journey! From day one, I was motivated to take control of my health and well-being, I was in it to win it! I was tired of looking in the mirror and seeing the reflection staring back at me, but I knew I needed help, motivation, that 'push' to keep me going - and the 12WeekGrind program gave me just that!! The program provided me with a structured and comprehensive approach that made it easy to stay on track. Trust me, there were challenging days, and days that I wanted to give up or have one more cheat meal than I should have, but I knew that this program to me wasn't just to lose weight in the short term, it was to completely transform my lifestyle for the better and give me my confidence back. Throughout the weeks I was able to challenge my body and my mind. I found determination and discipline that I didn't know I had; I would pick up the cookie and had the self control to put it right back down. By having the weekly email follow ups with my food intake and selfies at the gym, I was able to see myself grow! The responses I would get each week from 12WeekGrind to keep pushing was the cherry on top! I give it all to them - while I put it in the work, 12WeekGrind pushed me to get there! My body has grown stronger, my energy levels have risen, and I feel so much better about myself! 12 weeks later, I look at my before and after pictures and I am in shock with the changes and while I haven't reached my goal/dream body yet, I know I'm a step closer with such a better mindset now - all thanks to this program!! To anyone considering taking a similar journey, I recommend investing in yourself and your health and I promise this program is here to help you! This program taught me that the power to change lies within each of us, and with the right tools and mindset we can achieve anything we put our minds to. Thank you again 12weekgrind, I can't wait to see what's in store for me next. This is just the beginning of the adventure towards a better version of me!
