6 weeks down and feeling LEANER, MORE TONED and LIGHTER, too = a winning combination in my mind. I’m an open book when it comes to my love affair of Faster Way to Fat Loss, simply because it’s the ONLY program I’ve ever been able to complete AND maintain, while not missing out on the things I love most… also known as sweet treats and cocktails!
I’ve written many blog posts and updates throughout my two-year journey, and if you’re new here, I’m including all those for quick reference below–including starting measurements and imagery, results from each round, check-ins and all the details you need to know:

March 2020 | Round 1 Results
December 2019 | My 1 Year FWTFL Anniversary

December 2018 | All Things FWTFL and My Before Shots
BUT… you’re not here to see what happened in the past, you’re here to view the progress from the past six weeks. And believe you me, if you had told me I’d post myself on social media at 37 in nothing more than my underlayers I’d tell you you were CRAZY, but I’m brave enough to be able to share the good, the bad and the ugly and this is where I can be proud of what I was able to execute these past 1.5 months.
So, let’s get right down to it… the before and after measurements:
Faster Way to Fat Loss
So, what changed in the past 6 weeks to where I was able to shed 6.5 inches, 4 pounds and lose 1.5% body fat?? Lots of you ask what I do different on my active rounds versus VIP/maintenance mode, and to be honest, the biggest difference is I TRACK MY MACROS DAY IN AND DAY OUT. I am a perfectionist and I am always trying to master my pie chart to get those percentages exactly where they need to be for proteins, fat and carbs and that’s where I see the biggest change when I do a six-week round. MyFitnessPal makes it super easy to integrate each ingredient/food/menu so it’s foolproof…FYI: I subscribe to the premium version of MyFitnessPal for added breakdowns and nutritonal info, but the free version is fantastic and offers everything you need to begin!
My other secret sidekick?? My dear coach Allie Janszen [who just happened to score the #2 FWTFL coach in 2020], who walks alongside each of us in my small group throughout our 6-week journey, day in and day out, setting us up for success! Her daily check-ins, informational videos, contests and challenges, as well as her added meal plans + recipes and helpful guides are an extra bonus that help us reach those goals even faster, too.
Next up… the official unedited pictures of your truly, from start to finish:
Oh goodness… I have to admit it’s kind of scary, showing those pictures to e everyone via social media, but I promised myself I would always be transparent whenever I posted about FWTFL and that’s exactly what this show and tell is all about. Sure, I have days where I don’t meet my goals or my workout wasn’t 100%, and I even went through a week of sickness where I wasn’t able to stay on target for my macros, but I am SO proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish these past 6 weeks. And when I see those pictures, it only fuels me even more to continue to process to get leaner and more toned just in time for Spring Break.
And now that I am 6.5 inches down with a little more than 4 pounds lost, I’m back in action for another rotation!!
Another change for this round??? Not only did I watch what I ate, but I integrated some new foods + recipes into the regular rotation, too. Usually a creature of habit, I’ve been trying to create one new recipe each week and it’s been fun to try new dinner items that check all the boxes, depending on the day of the week.
So, I also made it back to the gym in a regular rotation which I am SO thankful for… using machines, especially on strength training + leg days, is super helpful for me in not only increasing the amount I’m lifting/etc, but it helps lean out my muscles and definitely challenges me as well. A lot of you ask if I do the FWTFL workouts each day even though I have a trainer twice a week: usually, I’ll tell him on Mondays I want to focus on all things HIIT, whereas on Wednesdays we stick to strength training circuits so I follow pretty closely. Every other day, you’ll see me writing down the FWTFL workouts and knocking them out on my own–complete with killer playlists by way of Spotify of course.
I also treated myself to new workout wear and some fab new sneakers, two things that always put a little pep in my step, especially when I’m trying to take things up a notch! Pastels and sherpas, leggings, tanks and more–I’ve got you covered with all the fabulous OOTD style for the best fitness fashion ever:
