Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice from the "veterans." I have been obsessively reading these forums (ha) and some of the people have some amazing results. However, I notice that many were starting from being sedentary, no exercise, or starting after a period of "letting themselves...

Hello, all, it is day one for me, and like any new adventure, I have a mix of excitement and butterflies, all at the same time. I've tried other plans and ditched them all for one reason or another (primary reason being that I'm lazy:(). Recently diagnosed with Freiberg's, so lots of pain...

Okay, so first week, down! I am so proud of my family (hubby and kids, 12 and 14) for committing to this with me. I haven't done measurements on the kids yet (and don't think I'll post them even when I do), but after 1 week, my husband has lost 3 inches off his chest, 1/2 inch off his...

Good Morning Everyone, I started my challenge on Monday June 13th and so far, my nutrition and exercise have been on track - until yesterday (Day # 02). On Tuesday I did my upper body workout. Whew!

Hi everyone! I just started yesterday and I know it's a bit early to be worried about results, but I was just curious as to how long it might take. I'm only 20 and I'm not overweight, just a bit out of shape. I need to be toned more than anything. If anyone could give me an idea I would really...

Hi Everyone. I just started the BFL challenge on Monday and I have a few questions about the food. 1. Can I snack on veggies whenever throughout the day?

I started BFL for the first time 1/10/2012. I have been doing quite well with everything so far. As I am getting closer to the 1-week mark, I am begining to wonder how often I should weigh myself. I know that it is best to weigh in only once a week, but I am afraid that if I do not see any results that...

Hi All! I'm new to this whole BFL thing and was curious to what everybody's biggest struggles were and how you got through them. Also, what was your turning point in your life that made you decide to stick this out? I worked out this morning before work and I felt GREAT afterwards...so hopefully...

Hello! I just wanted to say that this is the first time I have heard of Body For Life, and after I listened to the audio book, it totally inspired me.
