Hello everyone! My name is Mike and I'm getting ready to start my 12 weeks. I've been overweight almost all of my adult life but I have reached the breaking point once I had to buy some pants with a size 42 waist. I just wanted to know what would be my best route to travel. I'm not sure if...

Hi my name is Jenny. I'm 22 years old, 4'11 and 140 lbs. My goal weight is 120 in 12 weeks, just in time for my wedding in July. I have been working out and dieting for the past two months now and have lost 8 lbs. I just recently bought the body for life book because I wasn't seeing results...

Hi, my name is Sheila and I am starting Body for Life after the Memorial Day Weekend. I have allot of questions so I'm hoping you can help. 1. Do I have to have the myoplex shakes and/or bars? can they be substituted for another nutrition shake as the myoplex is a bit pricy. 2. I'm not...

HI, I am a newbie to the program and will start on Saturday 3rd July 2010. I am doing my research and planning ahead to so I can go grocery shopping. The main problem is that I live in Cairo, Egypt and hve NO access to Myoplex or any other protein shake! I did find SlimFast but from the posts...

Hey BFL crew, I have one simple question- Does anyone know whether any shops in Australia actually sell Myoplex Lite? I want to buy some but I have a feeling i'll just have to order it over the internet. Most products you find are from the US, there are some online that actually come from Australia...

i have officially started the BFL challenge today! i purchased nutrition powder from a local sports store but im not sure whether i should mix it with water or non fat milk? it says you can mix it with either but my main concern is, if i mix it with water as opposed to milk im not sure whether it counts...

Look what Jen brought home last night...

I just started this week and I am loving it. My struggle right now is to make sure I have a good choice for my meals when I am out and about. I was looking at the EAS products, but I cannot figure out what to get. Any advice? What I need is something that I can just grab and eat while driving or in between...

Howdy BFL'ers! I wanted to make sure I came here to share something I think can really help a lot of people who are either just embarking on a new challenge, or who still aren't sure if they're planning meals correctly. Since winning BFL over 2 years ago, I've had a lot of amazing...

first of all * is the body for life eating schedule UNrealistic to a person who may work full time 5 days a week? sure the book says PLAN it, but how do you play around a WHOLE working day?? * why is there so much 'mypolex' (can't get it here i'm not american) nutriion shakes written...

Hey all, I started BFL on the 3rd Jan after coming accross it on the internet and so far so good. I have bought all the books but I cannot buy myoplex in the UK just the bars. I have been using whey protien shakes instead of the myoplex shakes, am I ok to do this? Thanks :) xxx

Alright…here we go AGAIN!!! Looking back over the last two weeks I realize that I haven’t worked out even ONCE and poor Jen has been even longer than that!!! After Jen fell the other day and dislocated her elbow it has really thrown us for a loop. She and I both became sick with some...

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...

In the book "body for life" Bill promotes his own product myoplex and says it's all you need in a meal in just the right proportions. So I got interested and looked for it and found that the traditional recipe has per serving: 42 grams of protein ( = 168 calories) 22 grams of carbs...

Just received our order from EAS/ABBOTT…WHHHOOOHooo…It’s on now!!!

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...

My wife and i just started bfl four weeks ago, I am 40 and i weighed 186 lbs. when we started and now weigh 173. My goal is to lose some weight & gain muscle. I am worried that i am losing too much weight, i tend to lose 3 to 3 and a half pounds a week...does this mean that i am also losing muscle...

I am curious about what others are doing for nutrition after the morning workout? Bill says he eats a nutritious meal about an hour after working out to allow his body maximum time for burning fat reserves. However, the myoplex shakes seem to indicate they are most effective when consumed soon after...

Hi, I read the BFL book on the weekend and am hooked - I am in such a good place right now, just thinking about what this program could do for me. Reading how important every aspect of this program is I have tried this past week to get some of the Myoplex Lite in Australia and have had no luck...

Friends, A few days ago, I started drinking Myoplex Lite (ready-to-drink) shakes once per day. Unfortunately, within a few hours of using this product today and yesterday, I've had relatively severe bloating, cramping, and I dare say, gas. I am lactose intolerant, so when these symptoms began...
