Re: Ready for Challenge #2

[Guest guest]

I haven't actually done Tom's " Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle " but I read it and

enjoyed it. It's based on a lot of the same principles as BFL. If you've done a

lot of reading on bodybuilding and nutrition, it's all going to sound mighty

familiar. Although, sometimes I'll have a real light bulb moment when I hear

familiar information presented in a new way. Like it will finally actually

penetrate my thick skull and I'll be able to do something useful with it.

I can tell you that the recommendations are based on your body type and goals

rather than everybody getting exactly the same program. It's sound bodybuilding

nutrition and workouts, nothing gimmicky, and it's very compatible with BFL. I'd

go ahead and check it out if you're looking for some new ideas or some custom

tweaks for your next challenge.

Ready for Challenge #2

Hi all -

It feels like an eternity since I last posted but I have been up to

date with the happenings of this awesome group. Well, I finished

Challenge #1 (the last 2 weeks were the hardest because of my bday

and other social events). But I lost 15 pounds - 10 pounds less than

my goal. I never measured my body but I know that I have lost 2 pant

sizes. I went from a size 20 to a size 18 to a size 16. So I am not

totally dissapointed but I am not thrilled that I only lost 15 pounds.

So as I conjure up the motivation to begin Challenge #2, I have a

question for anyone on BFFM or anyone that has tried it. Tom Venuto

markets the program as " the next step " for BFLers. I am debating

whether or not to purchase his books and start something new. See my

problem is that I get bored very easily and I think one of the

reasons why I started off strong with BFL was because it was new. So

first, can anyone advise me on whether or not it may be worth it to

switch to BFFM or should I stick with BFL for round 2?

If your opinion is to stick with BFL, what are some of the things I

can do to challenge myself or to make this program " new " again. I get

excited by newness and challenge. I need motivation! This time I

really want to hit my goal of losing 30lbs! Help!!!

Sqwigg,

Thanks for your reply. I will probably take a look at the BFFM but I

still feel that I could have a more successful BFL Challenge #2.

Does anyone elese have any advice on how to make a 2nd challenge new

and exciting?

Thanks!

a 15 pound loss is great. I lost 12 pounds ( scale pounds that is)

on my 1st challenge. But even losing that little amount made a big

difference in how I looked. My pics are over in the photos section

under " shonda's " .

Now, if only I stilled looked like that.

Good luck on challenge #2!
