How Linda Transformed her body in 8 weeks over 40 

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you stop making excuses for yourself. I'm twenty pounds down and also 5'2, but I started at 172, so I've got a bit more to go than her. Congrats Linda and too all getting their life back.

I would not expect those before and after photos to look so different in just 17 lbs. It goes to show that body recomposition is so important. She could have taken her calories too low, lost double the weight, but not looked or felt as good. This really helps me to remember to not worry about the numbers on the scale day to day.

Outstanding transformation for 8 weeks. You look healthy and fabulous! Congratulations

Awesome!! Congratulations, Linda. You look fabulous. Melissa, you are a great inspirator.

Linda we are proud of you! We must all agree, Melissa knows how to get us older gals in shape.

I’m so proud of Linda. She earned this! It was emotional watching her win. This program is challenging but transformative. I participated in this first one and was so happy with the results I achieved and the knowledge I gained. It’s more than worth it!

Been easing back into exercise since January. I lost 5kg doing RU-vid walking workouts but I'm so ready for weight training already. Joined last night. Can't wait to see the changes ❤

Her transformation is so motivating. Well done, you did that.

Wow she looks amazing ❤ She looks like she lost 30 lbs.!! Weights are great!! So happy for her😍🥰

My daughter thanks you too- best thing ever! Showing our kids to take RESPONSIBILITY of our health!!

I just signed up for the May challenge. This is what I was looking for. A guide/accountability going into my 45 birthday at the end of May. I know this will really solidify my health and wellness goals for the end of the year

This definitely convinced me! I'm signing up and can't wait!!!

Great job 🎊 🎉Well done !! But my favourite part of this video is her daughter in the background eating ice cream 🍨 😂😂😂😂

Well done Linda. I shed a tear with u as I could feel how emotional it must have been winning when not expecting to. Especially after becoming a mum hormones and life in general is all over the place so a fitness challange like this must have been really centering. ❤ I'm going to join the next one. Youv'e inspired me. 🎉

Congratulations Linda, you’re are looking so healthy and beautiful. Wishing you all the best with your future training. X

She looks great!

Great job, Linda! I missed this new challenge deadline but I am excited for the next one. I need this!!

Linda, your story is amazing! What a great example for your daughter!! I liked how you said your doing this for your daughter's children!! Awesome!!

Yes, we all have to continue. I have listened to you, Melissa, about eating protein before strength training. I was a cook in the Army and that was not the best nutrient dense recipes at all!Though it’s too early to see things, my mindset is different and my friend and I, are doing walks together on Sunday. I will incorporate daily walks for myself just like you prescribe….looking forward to putting myself forward! 🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏽Mia

Amazing. What a positive lady 🎉

AWESOME TRANSFORMATION

Congratulations 🎉thank you for sharing. Definitely inspired ❤❤❤

I discovered you last year and following you ever since. I Can relate to your entire story. I am excited and ready for the challenge

What a beautiful transformation and story, so motivating. Melissa looks so proud and happy too❤❤❤

So awesome! What an inspiration 🙏

I'm in Melissa!! Can't wait to get started!!❤

I'm in! I'll be 60 this summer and this is the perfect gift to myself. I've gained about 20 pounds in the last 5 years with becoming post-menopausal, not comfortable in my body, just like Linda said. Unlike Linda, I already bought new clothes so I could at least feel comfy in my clothes but hey, if I win the challenge, I can use prize money to buy smaller pants! :)

I REALLY want/need this!! I LOVE the cash prize how fun!!!

I look a bit like that first photo, your skin is so smooth compared to other photos.

well done to the participants

Six inches off your waist alone is absolutely incredible and you look amazing! Congratulations! Great job!

Signed up!! not so much for the cash prize, but after following a number of different programs, im not getting the results I want. This will by my first geared towards women over 50. I'm 51 with some disabilities & limitations but really looking forward to this and turning 52 (August) in better shape!

Im a plant based eater. If I sign up for your challenge, will there be a meal plan suitable for me????

Congratulations ❤❤❤ I have been waiting for this video!!!

Love the idea of doing this for your future you. I am your future you - I’m 63. I have made great progress but there were many years when I didn’t take the time to focus on my health, and I really regret it. Maintain your health. You don’t want to get to retirement age and have high blood pressure, poor cardiac health, etc. that prevent you from enjoying your family and your life!

I am so proud of Linda like I know her❤ keep going ladies!!

It's hard to believe this only took 8 weeks. What exactly did you do??

Amazing transformation !! See looks great ! Seeing this a the right time I was telling myself I wanted to do a challenge and this video just came across my screen

Linda, great job!!🎉🎉 Your journey has inspired me to throw my hat in for the next challenge. Looking forward to experiencing the same transformation… both physically and mentally 💪💪…

Wow, amazing results!!!

*Thank you for sharing her inspiring story!*

Wish I could join the challenge. I'm 33 but was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 2 years ago. I dont produce the hormone called insulin. I feel i face many more challeges with my body than the average person my age. I can relate more to the information you provide for women older than me.

What an amazing testimonial - Thank you so much for sharing with us 💗

Congratulations Linda!! Job well done!!

Congratulations Linda! You did amazingly well!!!! Absolutely fantastic!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

Hi, I want to take part in your challenge, but I live in a remote village of Alaska. Can the exercises be done using resistance bands?

Congrats 🎉this was amazing

I am motivated - but I commut efor wok and not sure how to incorporate training during may... also I think that it is great that people who have started youtube like Melissa ears ago, are now reaching many people but also earn many fogures (money)..I wich I did hae competence and confidence to do it..

Ready to join in. 50 this November 🎉

Little girl eating ice cream like “yup, don’t you wish you were young again?” 😋 I took my young metabolism for granted.

Congratulations to Linda, amazing transformation. Just signed up.

Amazing love that. ❤

I am away on holidays until 13th May . Can I start my challenge 14th and still be eligible or do I have to wait until next round ?

Congrats she did the work and is now enjoy the results

Is this open to people in Canada?

I’m interested in the challenge!

Hi very interested in signing up but just have a question, @melissaneil is the 20 mins daily cardio in addition to the 45 to 60 mins workout? and can I choose my own rest days to work with my schedule?

Melissa I’m very exited about the challenge😅 I do have a question, do you include some option for the exercise when traveling? I hope you answer

And you look amazing 😊❤

Amazing results ❤

Wow! 🤩 Congratulations Linda! You look fantastic!! 😍 Your transformation is truly inspiring! - and in such a short amount of time too! Congratulations to Melissa as well! You deserve the accolades right alongside Linda! I mean I get it, we’re in this for the long haul - and it wouldn’t be unheard of to achieve these results in a 6 month time frame! But, to have done it in only 2 months?!? Where do I sign up?! I’m seeing this video on May 12th (my daughter’s birthday) and I see that the new challenge already began! Is it too late to join even though I’m a week late?? I really don’t want to wait another few months! I’m ready and I need to make the changes now!! Could I join in late to the challenge? Please advise 😅🙏🏻 Again, beautiful job ladies! So proud of your accomplishments! 🫶🏻❤️

I want in!! 💪🏽

Hello Melissa, is your new challenge based off your programmes? I have your 12 week body sculpt and high protein meal plan. Thanks.

I’m here for it!! What a inspirational challenge unfortunately I’m not in a position to sign up however I’m “energetically” signed up and will follow the plan with 💯 percent diligence Im 46, post mesopause, My “why” is to win my mojo back 🏆👏👸🏼 I’m commenting for my own accountability and I’ll be sure to keep updating here in this section I get to train upper body 2x week followed by 20min walking/light cardio I also get to train lower body 2x week followed by 20 min cardio I also as a bonus get to use German metric training 10 sets of 10 reps and use this as a powerful tool to really push my muscles into growing or at least maintaining while I’m in a slight calorie deficit I also get one full body workout military style to really challenge and keep my body guessing followed by 2 days of rest to help my muscles Recover And there’s more….I have an opportunity to become really creative with my nutrition, meal prepping so that I don’t have to think about what I’m going to eat everyday! Woah I’m excited!! Let’s go or be dragged 😅🤸‍♀️⭐️ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS CHALLENGE 🙏

I will be doing this you already sent me an email. Ladies we got this 💪🏿

I have multiple health issues to also overcome...but, I'm in

Hello Melissa how do can I contact you for the work out plan

Was looking to do this. Made a comment today with notes to myself to have an idea on what to expect, exercise and nutrition expectations for the programme. Came back to review it a few hours later now that I've time to decide whether I can commit and the comment has been deleted.

can we enter for the program not the challenge?

I am interested in doing this. I just turned 60 and I am huge. P.S. i will still sign myself up. I just thought about my cousin.

Since 40% of women over 40 have a uterine prolapse, I'm curious how one would train in your challenge...? I've looked over your videos - someone with a level 3 or 4 prolapse can't do 90% of your workout. This is a problem I've noticed since I prolapse 5 years ago - no one creates weight loss transformation programs that are prolapse safe :(
