Body for Life Support Groups

Posted on by

My blog yesterday talked about all the free media out there to help you get through the Body-for-Life Challenge. I’ve got good news for you: there is even more! There are 407 Body-for-Life groups at Yahoo Groups. You can see them all here. Granted, some of these groups are very large but chances are that there is a Body-for-Life group there that is perfect for you. There are groups for certain age groups, geographic locations, men, women, particular interests and more. One of the greatest keys to making your weight loss efforts successful is to have additional outside support. Now … Continue reading →

Body for Life Free Media

Posted on by

Back in 2006, I did a blog on the Transformation Talk podcasts by Bill Phillips, author of Body-for-Life. They were great, free podcasts and I still have them saved on my computer. You can still download them from the archives at Hay House Radio. Just see my original blog for the link. I strongly recommend that you tap into these podcasts if you’re considering taking the challenge. Bill Phillips has a new book coming out soon called “Transformation”. His website has a forum that isn’t terribly interactive but you may just get something out of it. You can visit the … Continue reading →

Register Now for the Body For Life Challenge

Not only is the Body-for-Life Challenge the most flexible eating and exercise program I’ve found yet but it is also flexible when it comes to your entry in the challenge competition. Now remember, this is not a competition against other people. This is a competition with yourself. What matters at the end is how well you’ve transformed what you started with, not how you look against the others who are competing. There are four rounds in the 2008 Body-for-Life Challenge: If you want to compete in Round 1, you need to start no later than February 11, 2008 and finish … Continue reading →

Create Your Own Body-for-Life Success Journal

You could buy the Body-for-Life Success Journal. It is an excellent book and is completely loaded with everything you need to keep track of your personal progress throughout the Body-for-Life Challenge.

Now if you don’t want to spend the $25.95 to buy this at your nearest retail bookstore, Bill Phillips has made it particularly easy for you to create your very own success … Continue reading →

Can You Give Yourself 12 Weeks?

Posted on by

Julie Ann Sproles gave herself twelve weeks and lost forty pounds. She went from a size 16 to a size 6. In the grand scheme of things, twelve weeks really isn’t that much. It isn’t even one quarter of a year! When you consider how little work is involved in following the Body-for-Life plan and that you’ll put in less than an hour a day improving yourself, this question should be a no-brainer! Less than one hour a day for only 84 days? Come on! This is a piece of cake! Speaking of cake, you can eat that piece of … Continue reading →

Motivate Your Workout with Pictures

A number of workout programs including Body for Life and the Biggest Loser require that you take a picture of yourself as you are now. You wear a bathing suit so that you can’t hide any of your flaws and that you have a really good idea of how you look. Your love handles, your bulges and even the little (and big) bits that jiggle when you laugh. These pictures are raw, honest and shed a harsh light of reality on how we look. These photographs are often used as the Before shot in order to measure the progress of … Continue reading →

Bill Phillips’ Transformation Station

Posted on by

I recently discovered the joys of podcasts. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard the word “podcast”. You may not have had the time to look into podcasts and what they can bring into your life though. (Like television, podcasts can add to your life or waste your time, depending upon which ones you listen to.) Taking the Body for Life Challenge is good for me, but it isn’t easy. One thing that is really helping me stay motivated is Bill Phillips’ Transformation Talk, a weekly radio show aired on Sirius Satellite Radio. If you don’t subscribe to … Continue reading →

What is the Body-for-Life Challenge?

Posted on by

The Body-for-Life Challenge is about personal transformation. It isn’t a contest built around competition with others. It is a contest where you compete against yourself. Who are you today? What do you weigh? How is your overall health? Are you carrying too much bodyfat? Are you happy? These are all questions you should ask yourself before accepting the challenge. Why? Because the people who have completed the 12-week challenge have emerged changed people. They are healthier, happier and more energetic than they have ever been before. The real challenge is in challenging yourself to be the best YOU you can … Continue reading →

Body-for-Life, Take the Challenge with Me!

Posted on by

For years I’ve been telling myself I’ll take the Body-for-Life Challenge and actually finish this 12-week program. Well, my son is just about 18 months old and I still have baby fat to lose. He’s finally sleeping through most of the night, so I can’t use sleep as an excuse anymore. My last hurdle has been work. You know the line: “Oh, I’d exercise if I didn’t have so many deadlines to meet. I really need to get this work done.” Of course by the time you get the work done, the day is over and you’re wiped out so … Continue reading →
