Hi everyone my name is Mandy and I am starting once again on my 12 week BFL Challenge. I have tried for over 10 years now to complete this and now at 32 I finally have decided to put myself first. My starting weight is 243 pounds and my goal is simple to win the $25,000 and be the most dramatic transformation...

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...

I am a newbie. I haven't begun yet, working out the logistics as to how this will fit into my life as well as waiting for the supplements. I work out at home( outside). But on days like today....101 degress in CT I don't think it wise to go outside. Are there any videos I can buy for my indoor...

I'm going to be honest, this week is my "mentally getting it together week" for BFL. I am scheduled to go on travel July 19-23, and I don't want to even think I can start the challenge my first week away (can we say per diem). BUT, I did start my routine (exercise workout and meal plan...

I just started Day 1 today! I am a 25 year old female and am wanting to know the successes of any other girls around my age!! How much weight could I expect to lose? I am 5'6 and weigh 218...one of my goals is to lose 30 pounds this first 12-week go-round! Is this a feasible goal?!

Let me start by saying that I have been doing cardio workouts, and every other workout known to man for the past 3 months. So, the BFL book suggests that high intensity cardio training is working at 75% of max heart rate. For me that's 132 bpm. For me that's not hard enough. I don't feel...

Hello All - My name is kyle and I am a student at Florida State University (GO NOLES!). I decided to do BFL about a month ago and have been gathering information and building my workout schedule for the past two weeks. I'm pumped! Just wanted to drop in and say hey to everyone. If anyone else...

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...

I am just starting BFL today, and I am already the Recipe Matcher website (http://www.recipematcher.com/index.php/home/) program that looks at the food you have in your kitchen and helps you search for recipes that use what you have. It would REALLY help me if folks could post some of their favorite...

Hello, I've probably started and stopped the BFL workout for the past four years mainly due to a hectic travel schedule for work. Well, those days are long gone and I'm tired of looking at the end result many added pounds later. I'm ready to fully commit to this journey and not get caught...

Okay, I'm beginning the challege Sep 27, finishing Dec 17th!! I'm a new mom. My little guy was born May 20, 2010. I tried to start the challenge on July 5th. It ended up being a bit too soon for me. I have been doing a ladies bootcamp program since then. Good results, but now I'm ready...

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Decide today what you want to be and take actions to change your present reality by creating a new one.

Hi, I'm just starting out BFL and have found this forum to be extremely helpful. Thanks to all those out there who are contributing your wealth of knowledge! I have two questions.

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...
