Hello all, I have a problem that I desperately need help with. On 15 July I left my wife and 2 boys in Germany to train in the US for 2 months before I get deployed to Afghanistan for 6 months. For the first week that I have been here I have either been eating fast food or not eating at all to compensate...

Hey guys, just thought I would start us a new post, and see how many we still have fighting the good fight. I'm still here. Aren't we supposed to be seeing the 8-9 week miracle here soon? Hope most of us are still here and staying strong.

HELP! I tore my LCL (not too horribly it seems) but this is obviously affecting my workout. I'm trying to alter my meal plans to be much less calorie intensive since I'm not able to work out as often or as intensely. I will still be doing cardio can't as intensely for at least 6 months...

Hello All, I've done BFL off and on during the last 11 years with sometimes great results, and sometimes I didn't finish due to injuries/illness. I've been challenged in the past 10 years, having undergone 5 surgeries and having a child! The most recent surgery was major open heart surgery...

In 1999, my new year's resolution was "go to the gym and get fit". Hubby then dragged me to Healthy Life where the gorgeous girl who managed it (can't remember her name now) pulled out Bill Phillips' book "Body For Life" and showed me a picture on the jacket of a girl...

Hey guys, this question has been playing on my mind ever since i started a couple of weeks ago- is it bad to have carbs late in the day? Okay first off i'll start by saying that i know it doesn't say do NOT do it in the book. Im just really torn! I've heard various different perspectives...

I can only believe that I WILL get better at the early morning hours, telling myself I will have more daytime and less night time to worry about should help a little. I have a bench on order and have a small set of dumbbells, but I will probably buy more weights as time goes on and I actually get stronger...

One of the hardest things for me in this lifestyle change is getting up early in the morning - I have always had trouble doing it, often getting out of bed 15 minutes before I had to leave the house. I have been doing well since starting BFL (I'm in W2D3) but today I couldn't get up for my...

I am 30 years old, 5'10" tall and weight 185 pounds I am looking into getting a decent dumbbell and weight training bench, but could use some tips on where to go and what to look for. My biggest problem will be getting up early and also getting all my meals and snacks organized 6...

Hi, I am new to Body For Life, I know about the program but haven't done it. I am wondering if there are suggestions for snacks/protein shakes that are available in local supermarkets, Costco, etc. that are as good as the EAS Myloplex. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks so much. Kathy

I am from Australia and decided to start my challenge 3 weeks ago (began 11th Feb 2011) in order to get my body in order for a big summer trip to Europe leaving May 31st. I am lucky in a sense as I have a trainer helping me through it as she knows the program well and is taking measurements etc. I am...

I have completed this program in the past and know for a fact it works. I am on Week 1 day 2 and have had a few set backs but more successes than set backs. I am eating better/healthier and consistently. I have worked out 2 days in a row (yeah for me) and I have reviewed my goals daily. I am looking...
