- if you read the post I wrote after my reply to you you will see that I

am getting almost 5 days in between challenges ... if I count today as my last

day. So its not too bad.

Thanx so much for your input.

> - Actually what I may do is rest my body for a few days and

start again on Tuesday. For me that week off may be too long and I

don't want any bad habits to start. Once I commit to a program I am

better off. Perhaps after C2 I will take a week or two off. I

didn't realize it had been recommended tho ... who said that?

Well, just about everyone I know from other BFL boards (people who

have done multiple challenges) strongly feels that if you don't take

a break, you are prone to burnout (and possible dropout) in the

middle of your next challenge.

Usually what is advised is NOT a seven day " free day " but rather, a

weeklong break from your gym schedule, along with clean eating with

maybe a few " treats " . Other activities you enjoy like biking, hiking,

etc are encouraged; it's not a week to just *rest " but more of a

mental vacation from the food/ exercise schedules we follow for 12

weeks.

I'll have to check my book; I'm not sure BP ever gives an opinion on

this.

Okay Rita, you do sound psyched!!! The measurement losses (and scale) are

awesome! I see why you want to keep the momentum up and think you should do

just what you want. BTW - last nite I went bra shopping at 's Secret (a

first for me). Can you believe this - I started in a 38D and now am in a 38C???

I have lost 56 lbs and 6 3/4 " from my chest. How can I still be in a 38C?

Someone must have screwed up at my last fitting but my bra was so comfy I guess

it wasn't a problem. Anyway, I bought a sexy leapord print number last night -

woo hoo!

couple of inches all around and that is it. BUT ... I am starting C2

on Monday anyway and I intend to do much better next time. It just

takes a little longer for some of us is all.

Hi-

Why aren't you taking the recommended week off?

May 17, 2002

TY! And Congratulations to you, too!!!! WOO HOO on that leopard print bra!

I've been reading everyone's posts and am going to go into VS and get measured

for the first time in YEARS!!! But I don't understand with that much of a

weight loss how you haven't gone down more in your bra size. At least your bra

is comfy ... relax and enjoy it. lol

And thanx for all your encouragement and support. You have more work ahead with

me! lol

Good luck to both of us in C2!

Park;

talked about this awhile back I believe~

You are loosing the fat from your cup size [the boob area] and you are

loosing fat from the band area. However you are also gaining muscle in your

back and this may be why your band size is not changing because you're back

is geting more muscles! Yeah, that's awesome :0)

I think you must be really hard on your self.

16 pounds would be a transformation on me....

(well maybe not all I'd hoped for) but 16 pounds is several large sacks of

potatoes!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!

You better keep up with the pictures or else you are never going to think

you're improving.

Love you....

Hi Bec ...

I guess I expected a whole lot more cause I really stuck to this 100%! But I am

not disillusioned ... I am going to take my pics next week but having looked at

my pics from Day 1 and then 8 weeks later there isn't a noticeable difference.

I looked like a cow when I started and in the 8 week pics I still do! lol I'm

getting there tho - it will just take much longer than I thought and as long as

I see SOME progress it will keep me going.

Are you doing spinning and running? I think the thing that you might have

lost site of is that the first place you gain the fat will most likely be the

last place that you see it go. So.. as long as you're truly working your

leg muscles to complete failure (not just to burn).. you will eventually see

results. Fat is affected by gravity just like everything else though..

so have patience

I have been on the program for 5 weeks but i haven't seen any changes

yet...I am going to add 45minute walking in the evening to see if

that will help me..I guess maybe it's the way the program is designed

you gain muscle first before you shed the fat....

February 13, 2003

Hey.. I started on Jan 20th needing to lose about 20 lbs the first

two weeks I lost 5lbs and 3 " total and I haven't lost any more

weight since and just a 1/2 " here and there I haven't been perfect

with the diet and I have missed a few work outs here and there but I

try to do 4-5 cardio days I just seem to feel better.

Good Luck

February 13, 2003

Hi! as normal, I think we would all refer you to Hussman's sight (you

can find it in the links). Anyway, I also need to loose 10-20 lbs.

I'm on week 7 and have only gone down 2lbs and really can't say I've

lost any inches. However, I am seeing muscle under all that. I

recently have noticed a change in my hips, but it's weird. It's a

change that doesn't show even with the tape measure--it's just that I

can see muscles here and there....and know that things are changeing

under the surface. I think those of us with less to loose will have

to definately be more patient, although every body is different.

Lately my counter thought to discouragement is, Hey! I'm seven weeks

closer to my goal--and that IS something! Keep going!

February 13, 2003

Did you take measurements when you started? These should be

different by now. Remember to only measure on the morning of your

free day before you eat or drink anything. Any other time, your

measurements will be off.

IMHO, stay off the scale completely.

--- Hi ,

I am 5'6 and am at about 140. I lost about 13 lbs in the first 6

weeks, and in the past 4 weeks I have only lost 4 lbs, BUT, I have

lost 3 inches off my waste, 2 off my but, 1 off of each thigh, and 1/2

off each bicep. THese inches came off when the scale was going down

very slowly. I didn't measure at first b/c I didn't want to see those

numbers. I took measurements at week 6. I wish I would have done it

at the beginning. Everyone is different, but my inches loss came b/w

week 6-10.

I too am 5'6 and have approx. 20 pounds to lose. I am getting ready to start my

6th week on Monday. I have not seen any results visually, although I feel firmer

and I can tell I am building muscle. The only thing I don't like is that I have

gained the little bit of weight back that I lost in the very beginning. Even

though it was only a few pounds I am trying not to get discouraged. We can hang

in there and get through it, maybe not in 12 weeks but probably close to it

February 14, 2003

Yes, I did take measurements in the beginning. Nothing has changed

except my waist is 1/2 inch BIGGER! And I agree I should stay off

the scale. I was only weighing because my jeans were tighter and I

did not feel like I was getting anywhere and the scale confirmed it.

Lately I have been eating every 2 1/2 hours even if I'm not hungry -

I'm wondering if I should stop and let my hunger guide me. If I do

that though I don't think I'll be eating 6 times a day. OR I

thought maybe I could cut my meal sizes in half and then maybe I will

start getting hungry for the next one a couple hours later.

February 15, 2003

Every 2 1/2 hours? If you're not hungry, make it three hours. That

should still fit in a normal day. I do :

7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10pm

most days. If I have my breakfast after the gym then its...

8am, 11am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10pm

I'm always hungry by 1pm, no matter what. Wierd

If you're REALLY not hungry, there is definitely a chance your

portions are a bit too big. But I wouldn't cut them in half, that's a

bit drastic. If you're using a measure, use the next one down (ie. if

you generally use a 3/4 cup measure, go to the 2/3 one.) Or if you

have 4oz meat, have 3oz. If you half what you're eating, you may go

too low and start burning muscle. Don't want that!

Becky,

Great news with your measurements 1/2 inch is a 1/2 inch!

I don't recall if I got your post about it before. The way it looks, I

didn't, altho I was getting so many from everyone else, but no one was getting

mine! If I got yours you can be sure I replied and wasn't ignoring you for any

reason whatsoever. That goes for everyone! I replied, I really did!!!!

At least now we know what is probably happening, the cyber ghosts are playing

games with us...

Love ya,

Results

Hello,

I thought I posted a message about my results, but I haven't seen it

on here, so it must not have gotten posted. I did mention how I did

not have results as slow as this with BodyFlex, but that was about 7

years ago! So, I'm sure my metabolism, etc. has changed, and that's

probably a big reason why. I was not out to bash Rashelle's program

in any way, so I'm hoping that's not why my message wasn't posted.

If I were doing that, I would have never returned to the board and

never would do LifeLift again...and that's definitely not the

case! Anyway, I had only measured my waist and hips after a

whole month and both lost 1/2 an inch. That little bit is a big

help, and I really can't wait to measure next time!

Melinda, you are so right. I think that we often forget how long it would take

and how hard it would be to lose those 1/2 inches with traditional exercise. I

love the fact that we are nurturing our bodies as we are slimming them down.

You are doing great, Becky.

Dear Members,

I am sorry this got thru.

Must have been while I was sleeping or busy yesterday.

This is a prime example of rage at it is worst.

We have moved on. But sadly Mr. Edd Benson has not. I will delete this from the

archives.

And please lets as a group move on.

Thank You.

Mike Hood <mhood@...> wrote:

I am an investigator for RE: International, LLC and I've just completed

an investigation for Mr. Edd Benson concerning the activities directly

related to the Hepatitis C Central Group on last week. Below are

my findings in our investigation.

1. Mr. Benson was not " banned " from the site as he assumed, but was

instead so severely moderated when he attempted to respond to the posts

of Annita Finkemeier <redskyoregon@...>. The effect was exactly

the same as if he was banned. Annita Finkemeier made a number of

statements wishing Mr. Benson to die of his disease, which were allowed

to post on this Group, yet Mr. Benson's responses were moderated. This

appears to document the extreme bias of the creators/moderators of this

group

2. Annita Finkemeier made libelous statements that Mr. Benson was

redirecting individuals to in her words " YOUR SICK SHIT KIDDIE PORN

THATS ILLEGAL. " Mr. Benson is not, and has never been involved with any

child pornographic activities, and in fact campaigned for a number of

years beginning in 1995 until 2000 to fight the onslaught of the child

pornography through a number of associations including the ASACP

specifically. When questioned as to the exact site link in which she

refereed, Annita Finkemeier was unable to provide even a coherent answer

to the question.

3. We have found that civil litigation against Annita Finkemeier is not

warranted for the following reasons:

a. We find that it is doubtful that Annita Finkemeier would be able

to be held legally responsible for her actions due to the severe nature

of her self admitted mental illness. This was demonstrated to me

directly when Annita Finkemeier was unable to address simple questions

choosing instead to dance around issues and make blatant attempts to

intimidate me by addressing me as Mr. Benson.

b. Review of Annita Finkemeier finances proved that the suit would

provide us with nothing more than an uncollectible judgment if pursued.

Thus making such suit economically unfeasible.

4. After reviewing several months of posts from this group, we have come

to the conclusion that neither " Doug " or " Janet " , the

creators/moderators of this group are qualified or trained to council

patients in any situation. It is doubtful that either has any qualified

training to deal with patients that could have psychiatric symptoms due

to the treatments required to clear Hepatitis C. Hence, it is our

opinion that this group should not be frequented by patients that are

looking for professional advice by any means. Mr. Benson reserves the

right to inform any and all members of your group these opinions should

any attempt at " medical " or " psychiatric " advice to members of this

group at any time in the future.

Mr. Benson did ask me to convey that he wishes Annita Finkemeier and the

rest of the group success in their fight against Hepatitis, but also

hopes and prays that the creators/moderators seek to enlist qualified

medical professionals to assist them in the proper, and non-bias

moderation of this group. Mr. Benson also feels that the lack of

discipline to stay " on topic " and the the moderators neglect to censor

wishes of death to other members of the group is an issue that should be

seriously addressed.

After knowing Mr. Benson for approximately one decade, I have rarely

seen him detrimentally effected to the extent that Annita Finkemeiers

accusations have. Her libelous statements that he is a child

pornographer, and the fact that she repeatedly attempted to intimidate

him with her wishes that God curse him to never be cleared of his

Hepatitis C, and the statements that he would surely " wrought " in hell,

have strengthened his faith in his God, and left him with a deep sorrow

for Annita Finkemeier and her concept of a god that would provide such

evil consequences on any individual.
