| Stephaine The soreness is fine! Its just lactic acid in the muscles. Dont go easy though, you wont ruin your muscles by working through it. The soreness goes away eventually. If you absolutely need to lower the weight, do it, but the best thing you can do is keep hitting the intensities. |

| You’re telling me Rick. The best thing was, I was walking around the mall (I needed a new belt!), and a woman from my old job who I havent seen in a year noticed my weight loss. Its time like that which give the motivation to finish. |

| Woo hoo Stephanie!! THAT is the best feeling ever. You are waking up muscles that have been dormant for awhile. :) Today I did UB and I can hardly lift my glass of water to my lips still. It is then, that I know I am still challenging myself.
Have a great weekend. |

| Stephanie, you are doing it correctly. That first week’s soreness is tough to repeat. Week 2 will be much less for soreness. By week 4, you’ll be trying to find ways to get that soreness back.....it’s true. Taking Muscle Armor 30 minutes before your workouts and Betagen immediately after your workouts will greatly reduce the soreness as well. Enjoy the pain; no pain, no gain, Baby! |

| i have a question for everyone: I’m in my first week of BFL and wondered about something.. Bill says to reach that level 10, or at least level 9 and stuff, so that’s what I’ve been doing.. I’ve been totally kicking my butt in my workouts, but.. I can’t move!! I’m SO sore! I seriously can’t even walk right, I’m sure most of you can relate. But, Every other workout I’ve ever done says to take the first couple weeks pretty easy so you don’t hurt yourself, but I was just trying to follow bill’s advice. Should I not be pushing so hard until my body’s a little more used to working out? |

| Good Morning! It is funny, my stats say I am from Columbia, SC. I lived there in 2003 and have moved 5 times since then. I consider myself a "lurker" on this website. I visit occasionally and then walk away. So, a little history, in 1988, I lost 40 pounds on a popular, healthy wieght loss program (the one with weekly meetings and weigh-ins)and have played with anywhere from 10-15 pounds over the years. Currently, I am at my high school weight (133-135) and wear a size 8...but at 55, I lack much muscle tone. I am training for the Disney Marathon...something on my bucket list for the past 10 years. I am not a runner, but a shuffler and my goal is just to finish under the 7 hours allotted. Slow and steady is my motto. I just finished reading "Champions Body for Life". I am so inspired. Right now, I am in the "planning stage". I just want to get through the goal of the marathon and then move onto BFL. One thing that I am doing is working on my eating habits. I thought if I shared a day or two from my eating diary (I keep one regularly) maybe someone could make suggestions as to ways I could improve my eating. Also, I go to the gym about 3-4 times a week and fluctuate between yoga, weight circuit training and training specific body parts...chest/tricips..back/biceps...shoulders/legs. I am in better shape at 55 than I was at 25, still I am looking to improve. So, thank you for your time and input...if anyone knows how to change my profile information, I would also appreciate knowing that, too. You are all inspirations and I will keep "lurking" about until I am truly ready to commit to BFL.
Eating: 8:00 AM 5 egg whites, 1/2 c fiber one, 1/2 c Kashi Go Lean, 1/2 c blueberries, 1 TBL ground flaxseed, 1/2 c soy milk.
11:00 1 small whole wheat tortilla wrap, 2 TBL hummus, 2 black olives, cucumbers, carrots
1:30 1 can tunafish, 1 TBL LF mayo, apple
4:00 WW tortilla wrap, 2 slices St Yves veggie turkey, 1 slice ff cheese, honey mustard, carrots
6:00 veggie burger, 1/2 c quinoa, spinach, miso soup
8:00 grapefruit, 4 walnuts, 4 almonds
Day 2 - 8:00 Breakfast same as Day 1
11:00 - Tortilla wrap with veggie turkey slices and ff cheese, pea pods
2:00 - slice of whole wheat bread, 1 Tbl natural peanut butter
5:00 - tofu with 1 Tbl of Bar-b-que sauce, small sweet potato, broccoli, apple
9:00 - Whey protein shake
OK, that is it...any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Much thanks for your time and wisdom. Best to all.
