“I have more confidence, energy, and I’m healthier. My life is better than ever!”
How many months’ progress do your pictures represent? What were your stats for each picture?
The photos are taken 14 months apart. Before I weighed 133 lb and was 26% body fat. After I weighed 119 lb and was 18% body fat.
I lost 8 pounds and 5% body fat in the first 60 days.
What has happened so far on the program?
I cut the first 60 days and lost 8 pounds and 5% body fat. I pretty much ate maintenance calories the next nine months (during the winter) then cut again for another 60 days and lost another 6 pounds and 3% body fat.
My strength progressed a lot, especially in the first five months (love the newbie gains), and has continued to improve.
What workout split from the book did you use?
I used the 5-day split.
What, if anything, almost kept you from buying the book or starting the program?
I was a little intimidated because I’d always done dumbbells and the high-rep, low-weight stuff that’s supposed to work for women. I hadn’t done much barbell work and I had never deadlifted.
For the meal plan, I was worried that it would be boring, without enough variety . . . I was wrong!
What do you like most about the program?
Following the program was easy and the links to the videos on how to do the exercises correctly was a huge help. Following the meal plan was much easier than I expected, too.
It’s changed the way I eat and I anticipate following it forever. It’s a change in lifestyle that has made eating more enjoyable and easier.
How does this program compare with others you’ve tried?
Every muscle magazine I’d ever read had a seven-day meal plan. By the time I would get done making the grocery list I’d be exhausted and quit. When I did try to get through a week I’d have all these leftover groceries going to waste.
When I tried a weight-loss program where I had to weigh in, I felt like I was starving all the time and would rush to Taco Bell right after weighing in each week. None of these other programs were the lifestyle change I knew I needed to make.
Thinner Leaner Stronger workouts are different because of the heavy weights, the compound lifts, and the wait time between sets. The results are better than anything I’ve achieved on any other program.
How has what you’ve achieved with your body changed other areas of your life?
My life is better than ever and I attribute most of that to what I’ve achieved with Thinner Leaner Stronger. My confidence is the highest it’s ever been. I have people ask me all the time what I do to stay in such good shape, and a lot of them are half my age.
I have more energy than ever. I’m a single mother of three teenage boys with a full time job so I need all the energy I can get. I’m more productive in all areas of my life. I’m also healthier than I’ve ever been–all my blood work numbers are excellent.
Shopping is more fun now, too. Shopping for jeans or bikinis is big fun and that was never the case before Thinner Leaner Stronger!
Who would you recommend this program to and why?
I recommend this program all the time–almost every week! Multiple friends at my gym are following Thinner Leaner Stronger and Bigger Leaner Stronger and friends I know in and out of the gym are using your meal plan service. They’re all doing it for the same reason I recommend it . . . you get results.
Women are conditioned to think lifting heavy is too hard and will make them look bulky, but I get compliments on my arms from women all the time. There’s no question, based on the feedback I get, that strong is sexy in women and men.
I recommend the meal plan service to everyone who asks me how I achieved the results I have. Nutrition is such a huge part of looking good and it’s left out of so many fitness programs. Your meal plan service makes it easy and it works!
Is there anything else you’d like to add?
I’ll say this: “Just do it!” You just need to start, don’t wait. Every day you wait is a day you’re missing out on a better life.
Remember to take photos and measurements along the way–the progress happens so fast and you’ll want to look back on how far you’ve come.
I’d also recommend your podcast and website. You provide such a huge amount of valuable content for free–anyone can become educated with what you provide. The podcast is a great motivator, too. The Motivation Monday episodes are awesome!
Did you use any Legion supplements?
I use Legion supplements exclusively. I use Pulse, Forge, Recharge, Whey+, Triumph, and Fortify. I use Phoenix when I’m cutting.
I had never used supplements before Thinner Leaner Stronger. I was skeptical of the supplement industry. I didn’t believe the claims the companies made and I didn’t trust that the products were safe.
I used Legion products because you disclose all the ingredients (no proprietary blends) and explain what they do. What you say about the Legion products are true. My workouts are better, my recovery is faster, and I don’t suffer from being jittery or crashes.

Our “No Return Necessary”
Money-Back Guarantee
If you don’t like something of ours, guess what happens next?
No, we don’t request you deliver it to a PO box in the Gobi Desert by carrier pigeon. Nor do we ask you to fill a cursed inkwell with orc’s blood and demon saliva and then use it to complete reams of return forms written in ancient Cyrillic script.
We just . . . wait for it . . . give you your money back. Holy moo cows. And that means you can say “yes” now and decide later.
Free Worldwide Shipping & Returns
Many companies use shipping and handling fees to increase their profit margins, but here at Legion, we hate profits, so our shipping is free!
Okay, so we do dig on profits, but we also go in for happy customers, and free shipping works like gangbusters. So, if you live in the United States, your order ships free regardless of order size, and if you live elsewhere, your order ships free when it’s over $199.
Why the restriction on international orders? Unfortunately, shipping abroad is very expensive, and if we didn’t require a minimum order size, we’d lose a lot of money. But! We’re also hustling to improve our international logistics and will be passing our savings along to our international customers.
Also, if you don’t absolutely love our stuff for whatever reason, we don’t request you deliver it to a PO box in the Gobi Desert by carrier pigeon.

Clinically Effective Doses
Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.
That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.
Clinically Effective Doses
You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.
100% Natural Ingredients
“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.
That’s why all of our ingredients in all of our products come from plant and animal sources, including sweeteners, colors, and flavors.
Made in USA
If you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the USA.
That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF-certified and FDA-inspected facilities that operate in accordance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.
Lab Tested
Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?
That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.
Naturally Sweetened & Flavored
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.
That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.
