My husband and I are starting BFL today! We're so excited to start feeling more energetic and looking our best. However, I'm in the final three weeks of training for a half marathon. My running days fall on the three cardio days for BFL, so I'll be doing my runs instead of the 20-minute cardio...

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.

Hello! Sixpackmission, like you I have know about BFL since 1999. I have had great success in 2000-2003 losing 72lbs and gaining 18lbs of muscle....but due to medical problems I gained it all back. I know now that this was just an excuse and If I would tried harder I know I could have gotten through...

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...

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...

I need to write about this to get it off my chest so I can move on from the "Stinking thinking" and be success oriented. Yesterday I was talking to my husband about how a lot of females don't see huge changes until week 8 or 9 in BFL. I'm in the tail end of C1W6 and I've begun...

I want to succeed so badly on BFL but I do well for about half the week then lose it. How can I keep motivated and going?? I don't hate the food or the workouts (for the most part :)) I am so sick of letting myself down and making excuses. Any help or suggestions would be so appreciated.

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...

Hey Guys I just want to encourage you all. I am a from Humble Texas and I started the challenge on March 7th. I started at 247 pounds and around 30% body fat. I was so tired and disgusted with my life, I was stuck in a rut. That all changed when I recently went on a trip to India. The people are so poor...

hi everyone, I'm on day 19 now. I actually, stopped counting. I usually put X in the BFL calendar and all I know is that when I reach week 12 and tick the last box, I will take two weeks of active rest and move onwards to another and then another, etc. I started my first week counting the days...

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...

Hey all, I am a guy, 52 and am starting the 12 week program this week. Anyone want to be an accountability buddy, maybe do one evening email where we report how was the exercise, the nutrition. Could be as simple as Exercise - done, Food - 8 (on a scale of 1 to 10). Or it can be a bit more, It can...

On Monday I will start my 9th week. I have some questions on my meal plan. Up until today I have not counted any calories, fat etc. I have only been controlling my portion sizes and eating clean. On my free days I only use a free meal (usually allow myself a fatty food but I still watch my portion sizes...
