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 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

Dear All I am just about to start C2! Any advice from people on issues and problems with doing another 12 weeks of Body for Life?

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?!?!?

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, Starting the program tomorrow and am wondering which shakes and bars I should be using if my main goal is to lose a lot of fat but also build muscle. Also, should I be taking any other supplements to achieve this goal? I have around 80lbs to lose and some muscle to build. I have been...

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...

Hii Everyone! I'm starting my first week today! Actually, I was already in my week 3...But I got sick by the end of week 1, so I didn't worked out as I should. I kept going with the nutrition plan, and I've lost weight...But now I feel that I need to start all over again, with more...

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...

I'm starting my second BFL Challenge and I need a eager, motivated group to take the challenge with me! I'm looking to shed about 8% or more of my bodyfat in 12 weeks and make this Transformation happen!!

All the other times I have started this challenge I was doing it for the wrong reasons. Either I thought it was something I should do or I was doing for someone else. I never finished. This time it's for me. I need to work on me first and get my body and mind sorted out. I have been self medicating...

Help! I am committing myself to losing weight and, more importantly, gaining confidence in myself. I've been through BLF once before, 6 years ago, and had great results. Unfortunately, I was deployed overseas at the time and had only my eating to worry about. Now I am home with my 18 year old son...

Hi Everyone, I am on day six. I eat six meals a day, two are protein drinks, and 4 are by the book (fist size of complex carbs and palm size of protein and a green veg all from the list in the BFL book). It just feels like too much eating. I can't believe I am writing this as I am severely overweight...

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 there Shelly and all, I'm Marco, I'm 30 yo from kickass but more often than not, cold Chicago! Have owned the BFL books for a good 6 years, have known of Muscle Media/Bill Phillips since 1999 and have had a gym membership since then. Never have started BFL, and rarely frequented the gym...

Hey Team, Greetings from JagPaw Day 4 of 84 WAS A GREAT DAY! Just wanted to share a few “realizations” I had today that might help some of you and to THANK those whom perhaps unknowingly provided golden advice in your posts. Today Day 4 I had the best workout I have had in YEARS...

Hello everyone...I'm 47 years old and have always loved health and fitness. Living in a small community surrounded by nobody with the passion in this area has been a struggle. I am not much on posting and blogging, however I am desperate for motivation and encouragement. In saying this I would welcome...

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...

Hi Everyone, I have just finished reading an article on the site about free day. Granted the book says eat whatever you want whenever you want on free day.. but.. it's a FREE day not a MAD day. Eat whatever you want whenever you want but keep your calories between 2000-2500 calories on the...

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...

I've done body for life before and I quit half way through cause of starting a new job. I lost a couple inches but not much weight. I felt like I was eating to much, somtimes I would eat even if I wasnt phisically hungry. Should I eat every two to three hours even if I'm not hungry?
