66 printable pages, including your free store bonus page: one plan from setup to week 12, with every log, check-in and tracker in one place.
Pick a track to lose about 10, 20 or 30+ lbs, then set your calorie target, protein target and step baseline on 4 simple worksheets. Never below 1,200 calories.
Workouts A, B and C, 25 to 35 minutes, with dumbbells or bands. Starter and Stronger levels for every phase, form cues and clear progression rules.
Weekly step targets by track, 2 optional brisk walks, the plate method, protein-first swaps, eating-out rules and a 7-day meal plan with 15 recipes and a grocery list.
A daily log and a check-in spread for every week, plateau rules, a maintenance plan, a next-block plan for Track 30+, and habit, weigh-in and measurement trackers.

A look inside: your track, your calorie target, the 12 weeks at a glance, a workout, your step targets, the plate method, the meal plan, a weekly check-in and the plateau rules.
Three phases. Each one keeps what came before and adds a little. Every week: 3 workouts, daily steps, protein at every meal and one 10-minute check-in.
Find your numbers, learn the moves and get protein into every meal. Nothing extreme: you build the routine you will keep.
Go heavier with the 2-for-2 rule, add 2 optional brisk walks, protect your sleep and plan your weekends before they happen.
Supersets, one untracked day a week, a Week 12 re-test, then your bridge to maintenance or your next block.

After you order, you get a short welcome email with three setup jobs, then one email from me each week for all 12 weeks: the week's focus, a form or food tip, a small win to aim for, help with your Week 4 and Week 8 reviews and your Week 12 re-test, and a final email on life after the plan.

I’m a NASM-certified personal trainer (CPT, CES, PES) and NESTA nutrition coach with 20+ years in health and fitness. In that time, the women who finally kept weight off weren’t the ones with the strictest diet. They were the ones who stopped starting over. This plan is built to help you do exactly that.

I won’t promise a number by a date. The plan aims for a realistic pace of about 0.5 to 1% of your body weight a week: often 1 to 2 lbs a week at the start and closer to 0.5 to 1 lb a week as you near your goal. Some weeks show more, some less, and a few show nothing. That’s why you track a weekly average and your waist, not single days.
A light pair (5 to 10 lb) and a medium pair (10 to 20 lb) of dumbbells, or light and medium resistance bands, plus a sturdy step or bottom stair, a counter or table, a bathroom scale, a soft tape measure and a phone or tracker that counts steps. No gym needed.
Yes. Every workout has a Starter level, Weeks 1 and 2 keep the same weights while you learn the moves, and each move has an easier version. You can switch between Starter and Stronger any time.
You set one calorie target at the start and re-check it at Weeks 4 and 8. Aim to hit it most days, not every day. The plate method is your no-math backup for meals you can’t track, and in Phase 3 you practise one untracked day a week.
No. It is a digital download. Print the pages or use them on a tablet with a PDF note app, and reprint the weekly pages and trackers whenever you need them.
