Good morning friends! Today, I want to share my Faster Way to Fat Loss results update. Iām happy to announce that I lost 21 pounds since January 7th. My starting weight was 148 pounds and my goal weight was 125 pounds. Right now I weigh 127 pounds and feel happy about where I am. At this point, my focus is to get stronger and continue to build lean muscle by following the workouts with Faster Way to Fat Loss.
Itās been a great start to the new year and Iām committed to sticking with this program for the remainder of the year and beyond. I love the community and appreciate the valuable information they share. The closed Facebook group I created for those of you who signed up using myĀ affiliate linkĀ has been a blessing. Itās fun to share meal ideas with a group of the sweetest women.
Iām so happy to share some before and after photos with you today! I weighed 148 pounds for the last 2 years (at least), so I used last yearās outfit photos to compare with my new outfit photos. As you can tell, losing 20 pounds made a huge difference. I also went down in four dress sizes from a size 8 to a size 0. I actually never thought I would be a size zero again and that wasnāt part of the plan. I just dreamed of losing 23 pounds and thatās the size I went down to after losing 20 pounds. My pant size went down three sizes from a size 8 to a size 2. You may have noticed that Iāve posted more outfit photos this month than I ever have. Thatās because I feel more confident and have more energy.

The Best Takeaway
The best takeaway I can share today is that I feel better about myself. I was always thin growing up and itās been a struggle off and on since I had my boys, which are all young adults now. I never really learned how to eat healthy until this year with FWTFL, so I owe a great deal of gratitude for this community. Iām eating clean for the first time in my life and enjoy it so much. The cycle of my over-eating has stopped which is an answered prayer, because I knew I couldnāt do that on my own. I feel that my successful fat loss is a direct result to being a part of the community of FWTFL. Amanda, the creator of this program is so inspiring and fun to listen to! Thatās why I joined VIP and will stick with it for a long time.
Here are some of my go-to meal ideas that are so yummy and satisfy my hunger.

Faster Way to Fat Loss Meal Ideas
Here are some questions I get asked all the time about FWTFL.
If I register now, can I gain access to the FWTFL portal to get a head start?
Yes! As soon as you register you will be sent instructions on how to gain access to the FWTFL portal in order to get a head start before the prep week. Plus, I will send you an invite to my closed Facebook group so that you can get some ideas on meals that are perfect for tracking your macros.
Do you have to do the FWFTL workouts?
You do not have to do them. I didnāt work out the first two weeks and walked the rest of the time Iāve been on this program. I had great success, although Iām not as toned as I would have been if I did the FWTFL workouts. I would highly recommend doing the workouts and following the program as it is layed out for you.
Can you eat bread while on this program?
FWTFL is a gluten and dairy free lifestyle. What we do eat is lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and meat. Amanda says anything that grows from the grown or has a mother. No processed food. We do get to eat brown rice which I love! Thanks to this lifestyle all the bloating I used to live with on a daily basis is gone!
Can we eat desserts or drink wine using this program?
You sure can! Saturdays are our treat days while on FWTFL. My husband and I whip up some delicious treats for those days. One of my favorite go-to desserts right now is peach cobbler with vanilla icecream on top. So yummy!
Is coffee allowed? I love having my cup in the morning?
Yes, coffee is allowed. Amanda says to drink it black, however she gives some suggestions that you can do if black coffee is not for you. I add a little dab of creamer. Shhh don’t tell anyone! Lol!

Hi there! I’m pretty sure I signed up through your link – is there any way you can check? I did one six week round and then joined the VIP. I’d love to be added to your facebook group. Thanks!
YAY! Feeling good is definitely the best part of it all. I started working out consistently last year because I wanted to naturally manage my type one diabetes, but now it’s an integral part of my stress relief and mental clarity! I need to get fully on the eating clean train again — I can tell SUCH a difference with my energy levels when I eat sugar. Congratulations on your progress!!!
Desiree, You are such an inspiration and I joined this last round because of your results! I have never found losing weight to be difficult, the problem for me is KEEPING IT OFF! Itās always the same 10-15 pounds that I put on and take off. I hope that following the FWFL method will enable me to overcome my up and down weight issues. Keep posting your inspiring posts! They help keep me motivated!
Hi Desiree, I’ve been watching your progress and I’ve been inspired to join in on the next round . I signed up under your link and look forward to joining your FB group for recipe ideas and encouragement. Thanks
Hi Desiree! Iām so inspired by your success with FWTFL that Iāve decided to join! Iām hoping and praying for success. I believe having a support group will definitely help! Please add me to your FB group for inspiration and recipes.
Wow Desiree you look fabulous! What amazing results you are having!! That is so awesome! Can you share how many calories you eat every day on your plan? Thanks!
You look amazing! I joined the April round and have been following the program for 2 weeks now and I am feeling so great!! Thanks for the inspo and for all your posts. š
Wow! Iām such a broken record, but you just look amazing! I love being a part of your FWTFL meal ideas.
We started at the same time, and my goal was close to yours – to lose about 20-23 pounds.
Iām slowly getting there with a 15 pound loss now.
The non-scale victories are mounting!!!
Thanks for all you do with your blog.
Wow! Thatās great! Very encouraging. Sounds like āyourā FWTFL program is the way to lose pounds. I just finished my first round. I started at your starting weight. I did the whole she bang except spin on the cardio days and lost 5 lbs and that was in the first two weeks. I would prefer 12 lbs down. Ha! Definitely body changes, but nothing like yours. Debating on joining VIP. Why did you join VIP if you arenāt doing the workouts? Thatās the only reason I would join. I do wish I had joined under your code, as I would love to join your FB group. Congrats on your journey so far!
To expand on my post above….did you walk an hour every day or just 5 days? Iām curious. Thanks!
You are just beautiful inside and out. It’s wonderful how you shared the journey, feelings, etc. I’ve been studying epigenetics and nutrition is such an important component to our overall health and gene expression. Keep being beautiful you!!
I would to try this but really need more details on what the program entails. For example, how do you determine the foods (timing, quantity, types) and whats the workout program (how many days per week abs timing). Itās tough to auto spend $199 and not have more info. You look great but i need to know that the plan is doable for me to sign up. Could you help please?
Hi Desiree!
I joined the VIP fwtfl program using your link yesterday but havenāt received the Facebook invite yet. Do you show me on your list? Maybe Iām just technically challenged and missed the invite somehow.
Thanks!
