Hello, I am Terry. I have been reading and commented on some posts of those, who, are exhausted, or overwhelmed. The reality is, yes, there will be those days. The question is, what will you do when it crashes in on you? I had a day like that yesterday. Just past the 2 week mark doing...

Yesterday I ended my LBWO in tears, feeling like I had a pathetic workout, hurting because I irritated my lumbar discs, and totally disheartened. Problem 1. It seems that as I try to increase my LBWO weights, it really starts to trigger the protruding discs I have in L3 and L5 that press against the...

This isn't my first attempt at BFL, nor is it my second....SO THIRD TIME'S A CHARM. One thing I didn't do in the past was get involved with the community and try to get some support. After talking to a co-worker who lost a lot of weight, it wasn't the workouts or the eating plan it was...

Hi Everyone, My name's Asanga from Dubai, UAE and it's been 11 days into the BFL challenege so far, with 73 more days to go. I write to you now at a weight of 67 Kg and a Body Fat Percentage of 16.4% - my goal is to hit 8% by then end of the challenege. I would love to know if anyone...

Hey everyone! I've been a big fan of BFL for years, and have seen some great results over that time. Unfortunately, I did a good deal of backsliding when life kinda kicked me in the rear. Before we were married, I introduced my wife to BFL and she and I both had really solid results. (since I had...

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...

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...

Hi everyone, I read this paragraph in a book by a famous actress who struggled with her weight most of her life: "I was in the grocery store with my late husband when I told him that I was upset I lost only 7 pounds after all the hard work . He lifted a frozen chicken out of the freezer and...

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...

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...

My goal is to do at least two 12 week cycles and then maintain. I have about 65 pounds I'd love to shed . I have a minor surgery this coming Monday, so I've chosen a date I can safely start working out. I posted because I would like to meet a few BFL buddies for mutual motivation and support...

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...

I am a female 5'9 and at my largest 260, I have been feeling really tired all the time and sleepy, its like the weight has me in this state. All I want to do is go home every day and go right to bed and that is exactly what I have been doing. On top of that I already work sititng down in front of...

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...
