Hello Everybody, I have an issue which anyway ideas are welcome. I'm finishing my fifth week and I seem to hit a slump in energy. I think I had the same problem for a short period during my fourth week too. Nothing has changed in my diet or exercise with the exepection of the last two workouts...

Hello fellow BFL friends. I am new to this after hearing about it from a good friend of mine, but I have done lots of research on this website. I have tried to get friends to do it with me but it looks like i'm on my own. My husband is a body builder so we go to the gym very frequently but I am not...

Just got off the worst diet of my life...HCG! Horrid!!! I cannot wait to make healthy life changes and do something that is not a diet. I am going to need all the help and support that I can get.

Hello all, I've recently started BFL after reading the book. I've been religious in following everything but I'm facing a few problems and would love it if you could please point me in the right direction: How do I manage my really weak shoulders? When I do chest exercises, even...

Does anyone know if there's an application which helps you record your exercises and food While at the gym? Does EAS have one in the BFL layout? It would be great if you could help

Getting myself ready for 3 Jan start so I have been going though all these planning charts for the workouts. Feels like a lot of paperwork.... In the ones in the Champions Body for Life book it suggests you plan which size weights you are going to use before you go into the gym. But I am not really...

I'm looking for someone to help keep me motivated! I'm 30 years old, married with 3 kids and currently serving in Iraq. I've started this program once before, but didn't end up finishing due to a pregnancy. Now, I'm out here with no distractions (day-to-day stuff) and I'm really...

I was wondering since my "problem" area is my middle section should I be doing more abs then the book says? I guess I just dont feel like doing abs with only the LBWO on some weeks only once is enough. Please help any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

... the Challenge! I've done the Body For Life just for (fun?) myself before, but that was many years ago. Currently the fattest I have ever been (+30 lbs!), and not happy with myself, even though my loving boyfriend says he finds me as sexy and attractive as ever! I've put on 30 lbs over the...

Hello....My name is Brian. This will be my first attempt at BFL. I'm looking for anyone else who is starting or has started about this time. It's past time to get a move on things. This is about more than 12 weeks to me. I've been healthy before and I know I'll be healthy again, what...

Hi, I am on day 3 and have done the BFL before (about 6 years ago) Got great results...lost 75pounds and kept it off UNTIL I had my son. I gain back 50 of those pounds and am starting again.

Hello everyone, Wow, wasn't sure where to start, who to reply to so I figured I'd just start a post if my own. Well, Here I am... I am at my wits end... tired of "dieting". This is it. I turn the big 5-0 in mid May!!! Time to take my life by the reigns, whip it into shape so that...

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...

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...

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...

Hello all, Today is day 2 of week 2 and I thought I would have the 6 a day down by now. I understand I should feel hungry within 2 to 3 hours of my last meal. I'm not feeling the hunger I had anticipated so I have reduced the size of my meals. I worry I may not be getting enough protein to support...

Hey forum, I just started my first challenge this week after I promised my wife I'd lose 15 lbs. I'm starting at 6'0, 210 lbs, 25% body fat and I want to get to get to about 10-15% body fat by the end of the program. I noticed that I am pretty consistently hungry even after I finish eating...

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...
