Hi All, I am on my second day of week two and already can't believe how my mindset has changed and the feeling of a real inner strength. I am also flabbergasted that I haven't wanted one drop of alcohol! As I drank at least every couple of days in my "before BFL". I would consider...

Trying to get motivated and excited about this, but mostly feeling intimidated and worried that I'll find excuses to quit. Becca

Sure, it's a little early for a New Years resolution, but why not make one now? Wouldn't it be AMAZING to ring in the new year ahead of the game? That's exactly what I intend to do, and I invite you to join me in starting your BFL challenge today. 12 weeks is going to pass us by whether...

Hi, I''m a new "body for Life member and I'm starting off my challenge by the end of this month. I'm about to get all the gear that I need for the challenge but I have one big problem - there's no gym where I live so I have to buy all the equipment that I need. I can't...

Hi guys! I'm brand new to this Challenge and have a question about products. I need and want to loose body fat, weight and I want a fantastic, defined body. I know I have one under all this mess hiding it... Anyways, which products should I be taking? I'm confused and don't understand what...

I have been doing the program for a few weeks now and I feel it is going well. However, despite the fact that I am lucky enough or fit enough to do the cardio and strength training, I have 70-80 pounds to lose. Is this more of a program for someone who just needs to lose a smaller amount of weight, someone...

I did my first LBWO on Monday, and I really think I may have started lifting too much weight. I have been extremely sore, to the point where I can't sit down and my muscles spase every now and then, and Im still walking with a limp; but it feels good in a weird way LOL As a newbie to exercise, how...

I have a few clarification questions if you y'all can help me please??? - Mushrooms are considered a veggie right? What about tomatoes? - Is there a limit to veggie intake in a day/meal? - Sometimes there is someone on the machine that I need -- is there a right or wrong order to muscle...

I am a 45 year old man and I have worked out regularly for about 25 years, so I am pretty fit but still softer in the middle than I want to be. I started the BFL program two weeks ago and lost almost an inch off of my waist the first week, but this week nothing at all. My first instinct is to work out...

I am a 35 year old woman who has struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember..I often eat alot of carbs and sweets which I will have to cut out (Im sure Im going to have withdrawals :) I am so ready to do this and live a life of good health instead of the weight induced problems now...If anyone...

Hi all.. So far so good after 8 weeks. I'm wondering if their is a maintenance program after 12 weeks or if I can just continue doing the same 6 day workout and adherence to the meal plans? Thanks... Ken

Oaky, by January 3rd it'll be time for C3 on my end & I need a team to motivate and be motivated by! Let's make 2011 the year we regain control! Kicking off a challenge Monday January 3rd, wrapping it up Sunday March 27th. Any takers?!?!?

Hi guys, new to the site and Im slightly confused on one aspect of the gym section. Im aware you do your 12,10,8,6,12 and Super set another 12. What Im unclear on is when you start the session you start on 12 reps so for example on the first set of 12, do you lift the weight until you almost reach...

Hello everyone, my name is Brian. This group is for anyone starting in January. I began my last challenge on "Starting Oct 18th, 2010, Care to Join Me?" and hopefully will be carrying over a number of people from that challenge over to this one. Currently we are on Week 10. By the time this...

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...

Hey all, I start the challenge officially on 10th of May, but only just joined up with the site. I've had the books for a long time and have attempted the challenge before. I didn't finish it last time, although I had made a lot of progress and lost 2 dress sizes and gained more positivity and...

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...

Hey everyone!! I'm on day 3 of this new adventure, and I was hoping someone could take a look at my diet so far... I haven't got my book yet, so all I have to go on is the website. 7am: Protein smoothie (1cup skim milk, vanilla protein powder, 1/2 banana) 10am: 1 slice whole wheat bread...

Hi. I did the BFL about 6 years ago with great results. I have bought 2 of the books (which of course now I cannot find). I have been doing the TNT program with no results, and really want to get back to what I know will work. On small problem...I cannot remember what the original program is except...

Hi I just joined this site today and signed up to start the challenge at the end of June, to give myself time to understand and program and prepare. I am already working out 6 days per week and watching my caloric intake [also watching protein, fiber, calcium, etc.] But I digress. I wanted to ask...

Just finished week four and I don't feel like much has changed with the way my body looks. I feel healthier, but I don't feel like I "look" healthier. Any advice or motivational stories? I just need to know that others who have struggled with this have gotten through it and still...

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...

Hi all! I started today too. I did my Upper Body and I don't think it was hard enough, so I'm going to up it next time. Food so far - great! I had fish for dinner tonight and it was good! My biggest fear? Not staying motivated and quitting after about 2 weeks. That's my pattern. I feel...

Hello everyone! I'm beginning the BFL plan tomorrow! I did my before pics today and was shocked! I have got back to it several times and just stare at it...it's like I'm seeing someone else in those pictures. I'm excited and nervous at the same time because I have never incorporated exercise...

Okay, come April 3rd it'll be time for my 4 th challenge & I need a beast of a team to motivate & be motivated by! I’m just wrapping up my 3 rd challenge with an awesome team from “Kicking off 2011 With A Bang” gang & several of them are committed to rocking on!!! ...
