Well today was the start of a brand new me.... I re-started BFL after starting it originally on 11/1/04. I did great on the program until my birthday, Christmas and all the holiday stress. The first 4 weeks that I did the program I lost alot of inches and dropped 10lbs. THANK HEAVENS I haven't gained any of the weight back.

My goals for this challenge are.....
To get my body fat% down to 24%
To have a BMI within range not 33 where I started.
To wear a size 8 pants
To wear a swimsuit and to have a bodacious bod.....
And of course be the healthiest I have ever been.....

I WILL SUCCEED!!! I HAVE TOO!!! FOR ME!!!!! :cruise:
I have to stay on board even if my sail is trying to dump me into that cold, cold water..

Good luck Loveable. You can do it!

Hey Loveable! I am doing BFL too!! I was so glad to see your journal. Feel free to pop in my journal anytime! http://diettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=477302#post477302

This is my first challenge and I am on Week 3, Day 19. My free day was on Christmas, but it ended up being more like a day and a half, but that is still good, I think.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello from a fellow Body-for-lifer! :D

2 days down......82 left..... (seems like a long time!

Well finished day 2, just got back from doing my cardio. It felt good to do the cardio even though it took me 17 minutes to walk/jog/run a mile. My fiance worked out with me tonight, it was kinda awkward having him behind me riding the bike while my fat butt was giggling in his face... and get this some skinny chick was next to me running on the elliptical, with perfect hair, makeup and everything not dripping a sweat. Here I am in sweat pants and a sweat shirt dripping sweat and grasping on the treadmill side bars, holding on for dear life.....hahaha kinda funny.

I cannot wait until I start seeing more results. I know I can finish this strong! :D

Congrats on your success with BFL, Loveable! Ten pounds is a lot when you consider you were putting on muscle! Keep going with the new round; you really seem dedicated!

Thanks for the support ladies!

Well today, My fiance and I found out we got approved for our first house. I am so excited! :cheers: Since I found this out today, I have had no apatite (Spelling?). I am already stressing.

Today was a good day. I just finished my lower body work out, my calfs hurt really bad from doing calf raises....its kinda nice having them burn. I worked my abs out, they need lots more working... I could barley feel the muscle behind all the fat...haha. I had my fiance check to make sure the excercise was doing what it was suppose to. My fiance starting laughing because I told him he would need to get a shovel to find the muscle.

I am still very excited about this! I can do this! I have to!

Goodnight!
I-)

Congrats on the house, Loveable!!!! And on your good BFL day ... I love working abs, they respond so well to exercise and I have this theory that working the core raises metabolism so we burn more fat all day ... probably not very scientific, but ... keep a'going! :)

I am very tired but wanted to post. Today was a good day, managed to get my workout done at my grandmothers house while talking with her (love the stationary equiptment). I have to get up early and go to work...uhhhhh

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :party:

Yesterday was my free day...it wasn't planned that way. However, since I had off I ended up having a juicy hamburger. I knew it was unauthorized and I wouldn't be able to recover so I made it my free day. I also topped it off with Pizza for dinner. You know what was really gross... I almost puked it up because I was watched SUPER SIZE ME as I was eating.... OH my GOSH if that doesn't scare you from FAST FOOD, I don't know what will....

The movie a great documentary, very true, very straight to the point. I WILL think twice before I go eat fast food.

I still have to do my workout tonight, been busy looking at houses and stressing out about moving. I wish buying your first house was easier....

I hope everyone has a wonderful new year!

BYE!
