Hi all, Good day to you. This is Divya and I have joined this community recently. I was referred to this website through one of the past year Champion and today is my first day in the program. I am really enthusiastic and eager about my 12 week plan and hope I get lot of support from all of you...

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? :)

It is now time for me to admit what I'm doing wrong....... I have not been trying hard enough to get my life in order. I have been so worried over the fact of being out of work and where the money's going to come from that I have put my own health on the side line. I have always been a follower...

Please see my profile and view my before and after pics after 4 weeks. I don't see much physical differences but I do feel lots stronger and in better shape. I have never missed any workouts but I did have a drink here and there when I was not suppose to.

Like a lot of us here at BFL the joy of being rid of the extra weight that has burdened us for so long would be great, but there are other reasons for me.....let me explain.....After my first BFL Challenge in 2000-2003 I was on top of the world...I was not only lean, but muscular. I felt there was nothing...

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...

Hi, I am on day 10 of the BFL program. I have been looking at Bill Phillips new transformation program. I'm wondering if it is too much to do both programs at the same time or if anyone has an opinion of that program. I am for sure not leaving BFL, but wonder about the other. Thoughts?

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

I am in my week 9 of my first challenge. I have been wondering about all of the excess skin I have? Will it ever tighten up or do I just put up with it (or tummy tuck)? Before starting BFL I went from 198lbs to 138lbs by doing Weight Watchers and had "some" excess skin, but since on WW...

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...

I haven't been here in a while....everything has changed on this site since my last visit, but I like it. My personal journey started last January when I had enough of being tired all the time and wearing size 14 pants. I also was ready to quit smoking. So I did it! Cold turkey. I through away...

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 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...

Adding a side picture and you can REALLY see the difference

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...

Ok People.....here are the pictures. First of all, let me just say that it takes a lot of courage for anyone to post their pictures! Especially the before ones. I have begun to post this and cleared it out several times, but am sending it on through this time in hopes to encourage others to keep up the...

Not much to the eyes....but feeling really proud, strong and capable, maybe even slightly feminine again! Before End week 4 (almost) but we are having our fam xmas so im taking my free day a day early before End week 4 me and one of my baby's

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...

This will be my progress journal for Challenge 1. Starting tomorrow I will be on a mission for a body and mind transformation! 12 Week Goals: 1. .5% body fat a week GONE! 2. 4 to 5 workouts per week with 3 days of cardio 3. 20g. or less sugar per day 4.Calorie deficit of 20%- 25% a day...

Hi, all. Just wanted to share my photos from the first day to the beginning of Week 5. Was definitely feeling like things were going slow, but it's obviously working. Not even half way through the Challenge, so maybe I will see those amazing results that others have shared?!? For those women who...

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!

Thank you so much! Here is a picture I recently took while on vacation.
