Hello everyone! My name is Mike and I'm getting ready to start my 12 weeks. I've been overweight almost all of my adult life but I have reached the breaking point once I had to buy some pants with a size 42 waist. I just wanted to know what would be my best route to travel. I'm not sure if...

Is this a good proram to be on in order to be in a fitness competiton and how much weight gain should ai expect before weight loss. Thanks you for all my answers.

Let me start by saying that I have been doing cardio workouts, and every other workout known to man for the past 3 months. So, the BFL book suggests that high intensity cardio training is working at 75% of max heart rate. For me that's 132 bpm. For me that's not hard enough. I don't feel...

Does anyone have any remedies for frozen shoulder? I've tried ice, heat, ultrasound, physio, stretches and as my last resort I'm going for a cortisone shot tomorrow. It hasn't stopped me from working out but has restricted my shoulder exercises to pushups and holding the plank position only...

Hello All - I'm in the middle of week 1 and I am so tired! I have found that I am so tired in the mornings I cannot physically get out of bed to work out before work. Then after work (I am in the office 8-5) I go home to make dinner and still feel like I have no energy! I've been going to...

I am just starting BFL today, and I am already the Recipe Matcher website (http://www.recipematcher.com/index.php/home/) program that looks at the food you have in your kitchen and helps you search for recipes that use what you have.

Having fun with this challenge… We have taken so many before pictures in the past that it would probably fill up a hard drive! We were taking pictures the other day and the kids all lined up to take their before photo’s and after we looked at them, I made the comment that they all...

Hello, I've probably started and stopped the BFL workout for the past four years mainly due to a hectic travel schedule for work. Well, those days are long gone and I'm tired of looking at the end result many added pounds later. I'm ready to fully commit to this journey and not get caught...

Okay, I'm beginning the challege Sep 27, finishing Dec 17th!! I'm a new mom. My little guy was born May 20, 2010. I tried to start the challenge on July 5th. It ended up being a bit too soon for me. I have been doing a ladies bootcamp program since then. Good results, but now I'm ready...

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Decide today what you want to be and take actions to change your present reality by creating a new one. If you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting. I am tired of the same result I see in the mirror! Time to change...

Today was my first day w/ BFL! So far I reallly like it and I'm really excited to get going..but I'm afraid of expecting too much and ending up disappointed and losing motivation..how realistic are the success stories and before and after photos on bodyforlife.com? Is that what I should be able...
