I have read that a lot of folks don't see results until Week 4 or later, but I wanted to encourage the newbies (like me) that results can start VERY early. While I've only lost 3 pounds scale weight, I've lost 4.5 inches overall!!!! AND I can see a difference in my pictures already, especially...

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...

I thought that I'd include a sneak preview. My after picture is after about 7 weeks. You'll have to wait to see the final picture.

How often should I be weighing myself during this challenge? Once a week? Once a month? Weight loss is a goal of mine but is it motivating or disheartening to weigh in weekly? I plan on taking 4,8, and 12 week pictures for a visual tracking method but how about the scale? :)

I made it woohoo! With the wedding coming up I wasn’t able to log into the BFL website as much as I wanted to but I did want to let you all know we (My fiancé and I) both made it. I was sad to do my last weight lifting yesterday, but the changes I have made and seen in myself have really...

I completed my first challenge... I have to say the whole process was hard but fun. Based on my pics and results, I can see some changes but the stuff you don't see is the way I feel when I play with my kids. I definitely outlast them. Check out my profile to see before and after pics. I'm...

I'm so confused. I've just crossed the half-way point and I have seen no results. Acutally, I stepped on my health-meter today and saw a gain of two lbs AND a gain of 2.6% body fat since I started. I just don't understand. Today I put all my food into a calorie/nutrition counter, and after...

I finished my first challenge this past Sunday. I am feeling great! I posted my pics to my profile for anyone interested. :-) Week 1 Week 4 Week 8 Week 11 Final

Well today is day 15. I started the week of Christmas and found the holidays to be tough to work around. For my first two weeks, I did 5 days of by the book eating and training and struggled on the days around the holidays. However, I made a conscious effort to keep my portions reasonable and caloric...

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...

Hey All, Well after years of having the book, I finally decided to do it - and you know what. I dont know why I didint do it earlier, the challenge and new eating habits were'nt nearly as intimidating as I thought. Dont get me wrong, it 'stough at times but if you really want the change, you...

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...

Hi, I'm new to the site and in my fourth week of body for life. I tried setting up my profile a couple of weeks ago, but the site was having some technical difficulties. Anyways, I'm a little discouraged and I can't really tell if I'm on track to have that "changed" body. Mind...

Morning Bryan~ That was some video you have on youtube , Liked it very much, you sure know how to inspire people to get there best on!!!Good luck, you got this man, or should I say We got this, Love your goals... =)

Hey everyone! I haven't been on in awhile but am glad to report that I finished my 12 weeks! They weren't perfect, but this was the first time in my life I honestly kept getting back on track and pushing myself to keep going each time I did falter. I have never pushed myself harder, ate cleaner...

Has anyone experienced itchy skin from the supplements? If so what did you do if anything the relieve this? Thanks Sergio, One more thing when doing the challenge did everyone follow the work out routine exactly as on in the book?

I finished my 12 weeks. I FINISHED! What a journey its been. And now only a short break and then back on it again... Its not a champoinship transformation but its MY transformation and for that im grateful. I think the next 12 weeks could bring me where i want to be. And if i work really hard I might...

I want to give you a little history first. Over the past 8 years I have gradually gained about 5 pounds a year. This past year I took on a new sedentary job where I was putting in on average 70 - 80 hours each week. I had zero time for myself or activity outside of sitting at my desk from morning till...

Still have a bit of work to do, but I'm happy with my results so far. I'm finding it so encouraging being able to read of others' experiences, and all the helpful tips floating around! :) All the best BFL'ers!

Firstly, I apologise to those who've been waiting to see my results. After a little drama with my computer, all is finally sorted. :) I'm very happy with my results to date. I've still got a bit of work to do yet, but am more determined than ever to work towards looking as good on the outside...

I finished my tranformation!! This has been the single most important decision in my life! I was riddled with health issues and my life was spiraling out of control. Starting weight: 125 lbs. Bodyfat 28% 84 days later....... FINAL STATS: 112 POUNDS BODYFAT 12% INCREASED...
