This is an impressive loss. You are way ahead of me. How do you exercise? I am 38, how old are you -if you don't mind me asking? What's your goal being on BFL i.e., lose, gain muscle, etc.? Ruby

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...

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...

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...

Greetings future Body For Life Champions. I have started the BFl challenge on June 29, 2011. I have taken the challenge 3 or 4 times before but this time it is official. I've registered and taken pictures (oh my goodness, is that me?!?). The real challenge for me is that i became disabled with a...

Hi everyone! I just started yesterday and I know it's a bit early to be worried about results, but I was just curious as to how long it might take. I'm only 20 and I'm not overweight, just a bit out of shape. I need to be toned more than anything. If anyone could give me an idea I would really...

Hi All I really want to do this programme, but I do not want to be registered as a competitor in the actual challenge, I just want to do it for me. Is this possible? Do you have to offically regsiter to receive the diet/exercise programme, also how do you find out what is best for you based on...

Hi, I am new to BFL and started on 8/1. I am not new to weight lifting and exercise, as I have gone through phases in my life where I would work out and diet for a few months and lose weight, and then totally fall off the wagon and gain it back. It's been a vicious cycle and this is why I turned...

Started 3 weeks ago, but wasnt following the diet exactly. Ready to start the right way, 9/19/11. Starting weight yesterday was 253.5, 23 yrs old, size 18, 5'6''. Any suggestions for losing weight and TONING muscle. I have a pretty solid structure for years of being a student athelete...

How does everybody treat their free day? I don't want to necessarily splurge, but I would like to get other peoples feedback as to how to handle your free day. Do you eat about the same? Do you eat completely different? Do you do any kind of light exercise?? I don't want to do all this...

I've been following BFL on and off for probably ten or more years, and whatever diversion I take (bootcamps, work-outs, diets etc - all of which are ultimately unsuccessful) I always keep coming back to this inspiring, common-sense and motivating approach and challenge - and just love reading all...

Good Morning, BFLers. This is my second time doing this challenge. I have been very successful. I am a realist. Partnering has been my greatest success. So before I start, I would like to find a partner for this challenge. I am a female in the age group of 29-39. Good Luck all Mone

Hi Everyone. I just started the BFL challenge on Monday and I have a few questions about the food. 1. Can I snack on veggies whenever throughout the day? The first couple of days it has been hard to not think about snacking or eating something every few minutes. Are veggies ok to have just whenever...

Hi Everyone! I'm currently on Week 3 and things are going pretty well so far! The problem I'm facing today is that work has been SUPER hectic with meetings and it has messed up my meal schedule. I am usually realy good about eating every 2-3 hours to fit everything in but it isn't happening...

Hello Body for Lifers, Happy New Year. Feedback need Please. Situation I am a 37 year old female teacher working 14 hour days. Getting to the gym isn't always possible. I work out at home and have to keep things interesting or I get bored. I teach and coach Cheerleading. My...

I was just trying to be sure that I take the right pictures. Does anyone know if I just need a front and back picture?

I was looking for some support from those who are/were having a hard time getting started with BFL. I am not much of an exerciser so planning exercises are difficult for me. Also I have no clue about weight lifting, so I have only been the 20 minute cardio portion. The first few weeks I started off slow...

I did this program along time before I had kids and had great success with it. I am trying to remember all that I did and I see these kits with shakes and bars and Betagen. Do I need to take Betagen or is this for guys only??? I know women have different needs than men when it comes to muscle building...

I am struggling with my nutrition. I hear so many different things and I'm not sure what is correct. Some say with this program don't worry about your caloric intake some much, just eat as clean as possible. But if you eat more than you burn then you'll gain weight right? I also hear if you...
