Hi everyone, I'm a newcomer to the forums - I've just started the challenge; I did read the book several years ago and while I did not follow the challenge to the letter, I incorporated it into my then-existing workout and diet plans (I was quite the fitness guru back then) and had great success...

On Monday I weighed in at 144, and today I weighed in at 149. I have followed the book and do not understand why I have gained weight. I thought I would loss weight.

Hey guys, I was wondering whether its true when they say not to eat within 1 hour of working out. Im fairly sure that Bill Phillips had touched on it breifly in the BFL book but now i cant find it again. If it is true does this apply to both cardio AND weight training? Your advice would be greatly...

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.
