Hi Guys, I found this website thought it might be useful to some. It has really helped me figure the amount of carbs and protein in whole foods with no labels like strawberries. http://nutritiondata.self.com/

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?!

Just got this question emailed and thought I'd share the answer since I think others might benefit. Q: For convenience purposes, is it ok to use pumpkin puree in place of the mashed sweet potato in the yamcakes recipe, which is used in the meal plan above?? A: I don't think that's a...

Hi Guys! I am a busy mom, teacher, and graduate student and I have let myself go! I am starting the challenge on Monday 23 and would like to invite you to come along this journey with me. My goal for C1 is to get below 200 lbs. I weigh 217 on a good day, and I'm sick and tired of that dang Wii...

I've decided to give this a shot, as I am already working in a gym 5+ times a week, and needed to do something to get results. I started with dcardio this am on eliptical, and am so psyched that i accomplished 20 min of intensity interval training! That's the longest I've ever done on eliptical...

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...

Hello all, I've recently started BFL after reading the book. I've been religious in following everything but I'm facing a few problems and would love it if you could please point me in the right direction: How do I manage my really weak shoulders? When I do chest exercises, even...

I was wondering if I will still qualify to win the prize if it takes me a few rounds of challenges? I am 5'7 and weight 180 right now and want to drop about 40 pounds of fat and gain 8 lbs of muscle. And do not know if that is doable in just 12 weeks?

I am new and just getting started..how do I know how many calories to start with to lose weight on this plan. I just see the meal plan but no calories and I know if my body does over 16000 cals I will gain weight even with working out. I am a long time althlete so nothing seems to work any more to lose...

I'm new to the challenge and am starting tomorrow (1/2/2011). I am a college student and I can't afford to buy a lot of supplements, but I do have an event that I'm aiming to loose weight for. I was wondering if the challenge was effective without purchasing and taking supplements.

... the Challenge! I've done the Body For Life just for (fun?) myself before, but that was many years ago. Currently the fattest I have ever been (+30 lbs!), and not happy with myself, even though my loving boyfriend says he finds me as sexy and attractive as ever! I've put on 30 lbs over the...

Preparing to kickoff the Q4 2010 challenge! Challenge Q4 will begin Sunday 03 October, ending Christmas day, Saturday 25 December (final weigh in before Santa hits!). I’m looking for team members to motivate, personal motivation, support, & accountability. Care to join the journey...

Hey crew, I finally got around to taking pictures today to see if there was any differences to be seen yet. I said before I'd only lost about 2lbs and a few inches and was a little disheartened. Well the pics seem to match the rest with very little noticeable change so I dug around on the BFL...

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...

As a woman, I have always learned that I should do higher reps and less weight in order to trim down. When I do BFL, I'm going as high as 25lbs in dumbbells for my biceps. I'm just deathly afraid that I will get bigger. Should I increase the reps to 16-14-12-10 instead of 12-10-8-6? Thoughts...

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...

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!!

After reading BFL, I came to the conclusion that my body's refusal to lose weight over the last several years may be due to my body being in starvation mode. For the last year, I have been doing P90X and Weight Watchers because my normal workout routine stopped working for me. I toned up quite a...

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...
