Sounds like you need a gym partner!!! I go nuts with the people I workout with if I see them let up I clap and egg them on... Remember its such a short amount of time - just give it your all! Its worth it!
I workout at home so no chance of a gym partner. I never did well with workout partners anyways. As long as set a certain number ahead of time I will push towards it. That is what I am planning to do this week.
Oh, and 10 minutes sure doesn't seem short when you are in the middle of it! LOL

For anyone who cares, here is the link to my online journal. I just updated it with some older pics where I was in much better shape. I'm trying to get my old body back and I'm using those pics as motivation. I will be updating it with some more recent pics, including pics before WSFL and after WSFL........
I purchased yesterday but didn't get any sort of access to download anything. I got my confirmation that I did purchase it, but that's all. So far, no response from the WSFL site. Hmmmm.....
Day 8......todays breakfast called for 6 egg whites, ground beef and veggies. Way too many eggs for me--I only ate about half of it. And ground beef does not agree with me early in the morning, especially when performing circuits! I actually gained a pound this morning and lost 1% on the bodyfat. I'm getting a little frustrated because I figured the weight would drop faster. I weigh 171-172 and I've been using the 175 meal template. I think I'm going to drop down to the 170 template.
You said you were already dieting. Was it low carb? If so, the initial drop was before this started. Also, you've had big layoff from the weights and are just coming back. Muscle "memory" kicks in and you're muscles are gettin' all swole again. That's weight, right there.

Food in general doesn't agree with me in the morning. I have been making a protein shake with blueberries in it and almonds on the side every single morning. It has worked out well.
I am not sure there is any amount of motivation on the planet that would make me want to cook in the morning! LOL

Yeah, I agree with you on both points. I have had 7-8 pound loss altogether, and my muscles are a lot firmer. I just didn't figure that the lifting portion of this program would do much in terms of adding mass, even tho I had an extended lay-off. Thanks for the post LD..........

They say in the book that you should use a meal plan for a weight lower than your current weight. I forget how they phrased it but they said if you are in between plan ranges go for one lower than you are.
To update my status, I'm on day 8 and have only lost 1.5 lbs but I've lost 1/2 inch off my waist. Considering that I'm running the program hoping to loose the last 5-10 lbs of stubborn fat I guess it would make sense that I only lost 1.5 lbs.
Does anyone have a different email address to contact WSFL? I'm still unable to access anything since my purchase on Sunday and am getting a bit ticked off. Very slow response to my inquiries, too.

That sucks. I had access in about 5-10 minutes after I signed up and put in my credit card info. The only one I see in my various emails is: info@warpspeedfatloss.com
You might also try contacting Mike/Allwyn through their blogs.

Have you gotten your password? The first email I received told me to go here and submit my email in the "forgot password box". Then they sent me an email with the password. It worked right away.

Well, I lost that pound that I gained yesterday, and I am starting to see some results. My face looks thinner and I am having trouble keeping my pants up today! I'm going to take more photos at the half-way point on Sunday and do my body comp with the calipers again. I will post my before and after pictures starting Sunday.

Think of it this way: Picture your ideal weight. Now eat for 'maintenance' of THAT weight. This doesn't always hold 100% effective, but for the most part it's a good guideline.

Interesting concept Ian.

Scale says I lost another 1.5 pounds and .5% BF this morning. Brings the total to 3 pounds and 2% since starting the program 10 days ago, and 9 pounds of total weight loss counting the 2 weeks of dietary changes prior to starting the program. Today's workout wasn't real tough, but I was physically and mentally tired, so I struggled thru it. I think I will do my cardio in the afternoon tomorrow so I can get some extra sleep.
I will always follow some sort of low-carb or carb cycling program, even when I am at my goal. So, I guess the answer is yes. Probably Plan D or E for maintenance.
I had the chance of skimming through the PDF last week. A co-worker of mine bought it over the website.
Essentially you get the same nutrition guide by mixing Shugart's good old Velocity Diet with Berardi's "Veggies-Veggies-Veggies!"
3x/week low volume heavy weights + circuit conditioning, on top of that 6x HIIT and steady-state cardio is also stuff you read about in most diet-tilt articles on T-Nation & Co.
I followed a similiar idea last year, although I limited myself to 3x/week weights + circuit conditioning . No cycling HIIT etc. Approximately a deficit of 1500kcal/day. As expected I lost ~14 lbs in 4 weeks, net after water regain. After that I added 300kcals back in every 2 weeks and returned to normal nutrition.
All in all: High prized product. Workout plan is 1 page to download. Nutrition plan are 3 tables on 1 page in essence. The rest of the 466 pages is filled with meal plans for every single starting weight, some exercises descriptions and some basic knowledge. High deficit, much work. Nothing special. But I didn't see this combination on other sites or in other books so often, explained for the end user. Most packages advice the usual "1 pound a week". So in the end it's a good niche product that doesn't require much prior knowledge. I don't need it, my co-worker loves it.

As someone who has tried low carb and reduced carb diets and basically failed because I couldn't figure out what to eat , I found the meal plan portion to be the most useful part of the book!

Reporting in that Day 1 was great. Food was no problem....lots of protein, though! Even more than I was used to with TNT. The workout was great, a real ass-kicker. I can see that I may get tired pretty quick of eggs and chicken, so I'm going to re-think my meal plans and try to get in more seafood, lean beef, pork, etc. I'm just not a HUGE chicken breast fan. But, other than that, everything so far seems quite doable.
I started yesterday at my lowest weight since, well since forever. So, it will be interesting to see if I can finally shed those last few pounds of fat. I am soooo close to my goal!
Good luck missjane! Day 11 here--lost another pound, BF the same. 4 pounds lost since starting WSFL, 10 pounds lost overall in the last 4 weeks. It's been years since I've been this low, and I am really starting to look awfully skinny. 2 more weeks till I can start cranking the weights!
I'm with you MAXX, I can't wait to finish the program strong and then proceed to do some heavy lifting supported by an increased calorie/carb diet (all coming from good wholesome food choices of course )
I am enjoying the program the workouts are challenging to say the least. The food is good, and its always good to add new recipes to the existing set, so I am pleased with the "over prized" purchase I made. As of this morning, day 4, I have lost 3.5 pounds.
I, along with many others I am sure, really appreciate those who are doing the WSFL program sharing your progress. It's very informative. You all are doing a great job in sticking with it!!
