Hi, this is my first TT contest and I have always been amazed by the results everyone achieves using these TT workouts. I decided it was time for me to try and get the physique that I have always wanted.
My wife, Kate (Galaxy) initially told me she had joined this TT forum and had printed off some new programs to help get herself into shape. To be honest I thought it wasn't going to work and would be a complete waste of money. It was something she would only do for a few weeks and then forget about it and go back to her old ways.
How wrong could I have been..!!! Kate did the 9th Transformation and had fantastic results.
I have always maintained a good level of fitness, but never seemed to be able to get the results I truly wanted. This was probably due to a bad diet as I tend to think I can eat what I want because I have been to the gym to work out..WRONG
The start of the 11th Tranformation contest was here and it began with photos being taken and some measuring also needed to be done. It has also taken 12 weeks of dedication, with the odd bad day here and there..!!
Here are my before and after figures.

I am really pleased with my results and have definitely seen a change over the past 12 weeks. I know this is only the beginning of my transformation and I intend to keep enjoying the fantastic workouts Craig has developed.
TT Programs
The first couple of weeks of the contest were difficult for me as I injured my knee playing football and struggled to walk never mind going to the gym so didn't really get into the right frame of mind.
I then started on one of my favorite programs 'Buff Dudes and Hot Chicks.' This is a fantastic programs and seemed to kick start me on my journey. I then moved onto the Meatheads training programs and once again found these were fantastic and believe it or not I enjoyed them more than the 'Buff Dudes and Hot Chicks.' It's hard to imagine I know.
Diet
This is the demon side for me..!!
My eating has been a lot better for the past 12 weeks (apart from the odd party here and there) and I am now being careful with my portion sizes. I am also watching what I eat and making sure that I log it in my food diary. This has been a great help to me as I can see that if I do want to have a treat then it will not take me over my allotted calories for the day. I have become more accountable for what I eat and this is where I feel most proud.
I have lost 2.6 kg's over the past 12 weeks and I have noticed the change in my waist as I have moved down a notch on my belt. This is always a good way of seeing if you are doing well or not. It is also a good confidence booster as it is an instant result you can see. J
My aim is to continue to do my food diary and hold myself accountable for what I eat. As Craig always say, you cannot out train a bad diet.
Achievements
I am really proud that I have completed the 11th Transformation contest. This is a great achievement for me and I feel great.
I have lost weight and inches from where I needed to (even men need to lose them ladies) and I have gained where I wanted to. ;-)
My wife Kate (aka Galaxy) has also completed the transformation contest with me and has offered advice and support along the way. She has also told me that I am not allowed that extra chocolate bar..!! L
Even though I don't post on the forum, I enjoying logging on and reading all the posts that people put on there. There are some fantastic members who will always offer support, hints and tips to other members.
There is such a good feeling between members who all have the same goal, which is to lose weight and achieve the body of our dreams.
Thanks Craig for designing these fantastic workouts, and helping so many people achieve the best they can. If it wasn't for the fab results my wife achieved I wouldn't be hooked on TT either!
Cheers Mr Galaxy (aka Kev)
