Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hi Trenda, First of all welcome!!! You will love it here. As for being lactose intolerant you can make shakes with water or I also buy Whey protein powder and I make shakes with diet cranberry juice and frozen fruit and a whole lot of ice. Yum!!! For me it would be hard to increase in 10 lbs increments. Depending on the exercise sometimes I only go up 2 lbs at a time. You could buy some free weights which is cheaper than going to a gym. When I first started out I bought 5's, 8,s 10's and 15's. Since then I have added 12s and I bought plates to add to my 15's so I can go up to 40 in 2-1/2 lb increments. Just make sure you can change the barbell weights fast because that minute flies by. As for losing 100 lbs look at Pam Brown. She has a site and she is in the success journal. There are many people who are doing back to back Challenges in here. I know I'm thinking about my second one and I don't even finish my firt until July 5th. Good Luck!!!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Welcome! If you check out bodychangers.com or customizedphysiques.com you'll see some amazing tranformations of all shapes and sizes. That's the magic of BFL, it can work for anyone and everyone! For shakes, can you use protein powder and make them with water? I use a whey protein powder called GROW from biotest. You can get it at netrition.com. I add 1 serving of fruit or raw oatmeal to make a complete meal. Colleen > Hello everyone, > > My name is Trenda, I've just started the Body For Life program.

I am a certified sign > language interpreter!-tlsinterpreter > --- In , " " > Hey, Trenda, I wanna tell you a " sign story " . My daughte (who is now 28) and sons had the advantage of having a wonderful teenaged girl that was deaf for a babysitter. She would spend time by teaching them to sign. Pretty soon all the grls in the neighborhood were doing it (kids catch on fast)Anyway...this became a problem when the girls (all went to the same school) would have a test....these girls got to where they were signing like crazy all the answers back and forth to each other. The teacher never caught on but my daughter did tell me about it later. I wonder what she thought when all the little nine yr olds had the same answers on the tests.... Another story....my family was in two cars to go to a company picnic which you needed the already bought tickets for. I was driving behind with my girlfriend and one boy..my husband was driving with my daugte and other son...after about 45min. (it was nearly a 1 1/2 hour drive) my daughter started to sign to me from the front car. Now...I am REAL slow at reading letters (didn't know much besides the alphabet) so we are going along and I finally " get it " .. " Do you have the tickets? " ..I sign back slowly " No, I thought YOU did " ...we pull over and sure enough the tickets were left at home...my friend and I went back for them and saved alot of hassle than if we would have driven all the way only to come back....Over the years I have really appreciated that sweet babysitter...she offered a whole new language to my kids....

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 I thought my friend and I were the only ones that did that In high school, my best friend and I would share the answers to our German vocabulary test by signing a, b, c or d.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Hi! Yes, I am an interpreter in Wisconsin. Small world, hey? I just met Aimee here last week who works out like, 3 buildings from where I work. How long have you been interpreting? I graduated ITP in 1989 and have been doing it since. I work at a technical college and freelance on the side. How about you? How did you choose interpreting? I did because I have deaf family. Take care and hope to hear from you!
