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 am gearing myself up for my first 12 week challenge. One of the problems I have to deal with is back problems. I damaged my back a few years ago so have to be really careful. My last try at getting fit came to grief in the gym with free weights while doing squats and I was off work for 3 months. Can't...

Hi there Nearing the end of week 1. All going well managing to keep to the meals and the workout and have cut out coffee and cokes completely but I am having a lot of problems sleeping. Usually I get "the sleep of the just" but with all the water I find I am getting up a few times in...

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...

Hi! I just started BFL this past Monday (1/10/11) and was wondering if anyone is doing this in or around the New Orleans area. It's be great to support each other during this adventure. Hit me up if you're near me!

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. My question is I know you don't need to count calories but it just a habit. I am worried I am not getting...

Hello my name is William and I am 48 years old, I am 6ft 5in tall and 280 lbs. I will soon be 49 in April. I have done the BFL challenge before but did not enter the contest.

I'm addicted to Perrier and S.Pellegrino sparkling natural water. Are the benefits equivalent to simple water and can this count as my daily water intake?

Well I'm starting on the 17th...going shopping tomorrow. Cleaning the cobwebs off my sneakers and the inch of dust of my dumbells...it should be a good dusty sweat on Monday. Let's get 'er done! I wanted to join with Brian's group but I can't figure out this website...

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...

I have been trying to get the challenge started, but I have a bad lower back, which makes me apprehensive about lifting weights. Does anyone have any suggestions?

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

Preparing to kickoff the Q4 2010 challenge! Challenge Q4 will begin Sunday 03 October, ending Christmas day, Saturday 25 December (final weigh in before Santa hits!). I’m looking for team members to motivate, personal motivation, support, & accountability. Care to join the journey...

...bang your head against a brick wall! :P LOL Well, that's what it feels like sometimes. :) The first time I started B4L was way back in 1999. I lasted about 2 months and lost about 45 pounds. I wasn't hungry, wasn't tired, all was going well... then I quit. I made the excuse that I couldn't...

My little one is 3 months old and I'm ready to start a challenge. I saw Body for Life on the KellyMom.com community forum. I'm really needing to lose a minimum of 25 lbs before summer, as I will be going to be starting some summer work. My question is this... since I'm a full time breastfeeding...

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 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...
