12WBT is:
* A forum, with all the other members, and professional support
* A complete meal plan - including weekly SHOPPING LIST!! (Yes, love this! LOL) for each week, breakfast/lunch/dinner and allowance for snacks
* Access to recipe database - if you don't like Lunch on Tuesday, you can swap it out for another recipe that is similar in calorie content.
* Fitness regimen tailored to suit your fitness level and goals. You will train 6 days a week - you need to burn 500cal, 1000 on Saturdays, about an hour a day. There are programmes for gym, outdoor (oval/park/etc), home (videos etc). The programme covers beginner/inter/advanced levels plus the Lean and Strong which is muscle and toning based rather than weight loss. Your fitness level is determined and tracked by a fitness test at the beginning of the programme.
* Weekly live video chats with Michelle where you can ask her specific questions, etc.

The programme is not a gimmick. It is simple to follow because all the boring work is done for you, all you need do is shop, follow a recipe and train. It is basic, basic stuff - input=ouput stuff. The programme works if you do it and take it seriously. If you cheat, you cheat yourself, it won't work. There are no powers, shakes, soups or other VLCD crap. It is REAL food in appropriate portion sizes combined with regular and sufficient exercise and mindset support.

It works.

And it will teach you things like how to train, what is effective training and what isn't, what size portions you should be eating, how often you should be eating, fabulous recipes that taste amazing and the family will love.... (Penang Chicken and Buttermilk Pancakes OMG *drool*

It works out to $20 a week for the 12 weeks, $200 if you pay upfront in one hit.

I lost 15kg my first round and it was awesome. I will be doing Round 1 next year, another 15kg to go - JFDI!
