I'm 55 and in c1w4 and started with 25% body fat. I've read the success stories of several winners and see people loosing as much as 40 lbs in 12 weeks. I'm doing the weight training as recommended, but my cardio varies considerably. The question that I have is related to calories required...

Hey guys! I just signed up for this, because I feel like I need support! I have recently lost a lot of weight. I took a 'break' week in which I ate whatever I wanted and didn't worry about working out. I just weighed myself and I gained ten pounds, in 8 days. My mom is saying it's...

It seems I have a breakfast favorite. It is quick to fix, hearty and delicious! Egg whites and spinach scramble w/ parmesan, oatmeal with 1tsp real maple syrup and 2tsp skim milk, a cup of coffee : ) I heat up the fry pan while I measure out 1/4 C of instant oatmeal, 1/4 C plus 1/8 C water into...

Confessions of a Cheater Looks like any average gym room, innocently enough... Inside these four walls, I have practiced self discipline, grueling dedication and resolve, sweat and overcome my mental obstacles. It is a source of my sore muscles and inspiration to keep going. The thing is I'm...

I'm starting my second challenge this week (I only made it through 8 weeks last time but lost 35 lbs) and I was wondering what kind of yogurt everyone uses. Right now I'm using the yoplait fat free but it has a ton of sugar in it. Is there a better brand out there that is fat free and sugar free...

This is my first week and I hadn't really planned on starting the challenge so my kitchen cupboards are not really bfl friendly right now. I have had to come up with some creative ways of getting my portion of carbs and protien. I've been reading a lot on this forum and I know a bunch of you...

"Save it for your free day." That's what I told myself all week when that glorious peanut butter cookie stared at me with it's mini chocolate Reeses candies peeking out here and there. I could be responsible and wait until Sunday. I have fresh baked cookies in front of me all day at...

This may be the dumbest question ever asked on bfl, but is there a negative side effect to eating too many vegetables? I ask because the diet is pretty specific and it only calls for vegetables with 2 of our 6 meals. I've read that too much protein can be bad for your liver, and a waste of money...

This stuff is amazing but I was hoping to buy some tonight . Does anybody know any US stores that carry it? Thx!

Hi everyone. Am in Week 7 of my first challenge. And today had a Body composition analysis at Golds to compare with the one I had at the start. Things clearly are not going well. I am doing all the workouts and I think I am keeping to the food but I can't help feeling things are not going well...

And have a feeling they will need to be replaced 'soon' too, as I think they will be too big very soon :). When I started, I took pics, but didnt do measurements so I dont know how many inches I'm loosing, but the belly is for sure disappearing. Last week was rough. Am at the 1/2 way point...

I'm so very confused on one thing that i think is preventing my training. I heard that everyone has a calorie intake. To gain muscle I need to get about 500 calories ABOVE that. This makes me extremely skeptical. How will this not make me fat? Granted I do train about 4 days a week and do cardio...

Hello everyone, With all the questions that I've had answered by reading others post and responses, I knew this was the place to go. I am coming to my last 2 weeks (4 weeks until vacation). I am down 10 pounds and 5 inches on stomach. I still have some belly fat I want to get rid of before vacation...

Hello BfL buddies. My name is Kristiana and March 27 was the last day of my first challenge. I was not able to work out during the challenge because of a couple of injuries : ( . (Except for some physical therapy exercises for my shoulder if that counts hehe) So all of my transformation is thanks...

Well I finally finished my first challenge. I am thrilled that I made it through the entire thing but I was very bummed out as I neared the end ad began to realize that I was still hanging on to quite a lot of body fat. I gained a lot of muscle and I DID lose some inches so I know the program works....
