Whether your Thanksgiving meal is at noon or at night, always eat a healthy meal in the morning to avoid overeating later in the day. Try a bowl of oatmeal with raisins or an egg white omelet with veggies. Arriving at your Thanksgiving meal with an empty stomach will only lead to overeating. Workout...

to my fellow bflers- I have just finished week 2, and starting week 3. i'm already happy with the progress! so far it has definitely been less than perfect but i've pushed on and been proud with how i've been going for the 14 days! These are what the stats were to start with, and what...

With Thanksgiving over, Chanukkah celebrations complete, and the Christmas holidays approaching, New Year’s resolutions are not far from our minds: “This year I will add more money to my 401K, lose weight, and finish writing my autobiography”. While the New Year lends itself to attempt...

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...

Hey everyone. I am in week 5 and having a hard time staying motivated. Week 4 was brutal. I missed 2 workouts and my diet was crap. I have started week 5 now and I am trying to keep with it. In 5 weeks the scale has hardly moved, but I did lose about 1-2 inches everywhere on my body. Needing some...

Does anyone have a good protein to add to oatmeal? I really love eating oatmeal in the morning. I added egg whites this morning (I read that some people do that on BFL) and I couldn't choke it down. Any suggestions? Thanks and good luck to all! 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 started the challenge a crazy amount of times only to quit within a week. I made it 2 weeks once. It feels different this time. I have done way more prep and have been talking myself up for over a week. I think this time it is going to stick. Actually, I KNOW it is! I am going to quit smoking...

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...

Joining the Body-For-Life challenge is the beginning of a journey that I pray all of you will soon recognize should not end with your final completion date. Rather, the challenge should be a stepping stone that will propel you forward towards a much more enriching and fulfilling life experience. You...

I have finished week 3 and the scale reads the same. I have lost 1" on my waist, feel better and tighter but no weight loss. I know muscle weighs more than fat but when does the scale turn? Please help!

I hate every step of running. I am so glad I have an iPhone (I run with Justin Timberlake- or I pretend to). The trainer I was randomly assigned to at my gym doesn't "get" what I'm doing (switch?). It is not that hard to eat right if you are paying attention. I am really fat...

Hey All! I'm having a hard time getting clarity on how to best incorporate fat into our daily plan. It appears that a serving of "healthy" fats are allowed each day- on top of the 6 meals of carbs & proteins, correct? For me, it's either 1 serving of peanuts or a serving of natural...

When looking at various meals people are eating, and seeing menu samples, it seems like everyone is using 4 egg whites in a meal. I've usually used 2, but wondering if 4 would be the more normal "protein" serving? Perhaps by removing the yolk (which I always do) this is why 4 works instead...

Ok, so I am a huge wing fanatic. I'm on day two, and am trying to figure out how to work wings into the meal plan... Please let me know if this is "OK" Naked Chicken Wings/Chicken Tenders: (no breading) Bake for 15 minutes at 425 Add Sauce (Franks Red Hot) Finish on the grill...
