Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yes, I put up two new articles last night: The Body for Life Anti-Challenge http://www.skwigg.com/id77.html BFL for Cheaters and Binge Eaters http://www.skwigg.com/id76.html **BIG DISCLAIMER** - If you're already going strong on your challenge, throwing Twinkies and chocolate chip cookies into your meal plan probably isn't going to help you any! LOL The articles are geared more toward the people who are always on the fringes and can't seem to get started, or the ones who try and then quit the first time they make a mistake, or the ones who are so overwhelmed by it all that they can't see it ever being fun or a lifestyle. A lot of people think that if they can't do it right, why bother? I'm just trying to point out that doing Body for Life half-assed will get you much better results than doing nothing. :-) On 2/16/06, Diane <dmiller91@...> wrote: > > is that a new article???? it speaks to me.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Skwigg is a genius. I have been following her suggestions on easing into BFL (minus the chocolate :-) for a few weeks while adding in a beginners level of exercising. You know what, it works! Although I have a LONG way to go to get to the level Skwigg is at, I know I am making progress. (My arms are looking good!) For others just starting BFL, this may be the way to start. To go from eating junk and getting NO exercise to doing BFL by the book is a big change. Too much for a lot of us. But she has it right about just eating BETTER foods, getting more exercise, also drinking more water (compared to my old days of drinking ZERO water). It makes you feel better and suddenly I am wanting better foods so I have even more energy. Seems so simple but it is so hard to change old habits. Just remember, it can be done. Thanks to Skwigg and all of you for the great tips and suggestions. FYI, I tried the Champion and Nectar sample pack from Enjoy Health and so far they are pretty good, but better if you add a bit of fruit. > > > > is that a new article???? it speaks to me.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Just don't mention " easing " or " cheating " on the BFFM board LOL. You will get pounded to bits. I have incorporated " cheating " into my life ala Bill and I'm a size 8 getting smaller.... it can be done with cheats. Maybe when I get to a 4 and can't go any lower I'll stop cheating.... or maybe I'll just accept the size and enjoy my chocolate now and then LOL. I love food too much to never have a cheat again. diane At 10:07 AM 2/16/2006, you wrote: >Skwigg is a genius.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I don't like to think of off-plan food as being 'cheats' It has such a negative connotation for me.... I just think it's a matter of having 'treats' - the whole idea of a 'treat' is that it's something special, that we don't have everyday. The complication was that in today's day and age, it's become feasible to have them daily (hourly!) - and that wasn't a good thing. But, if I think of them as something special, for occasional use - there's no issue. n At 01:25 PM 2/16/2006, you (DIANE MILLLER) wrote: >Just don't mention " easing " or " cheating " on the BFFM board LOL.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 It's so refreshing to read these articles so that we can keep this in perspective. Of course Bill wants everyone to do BFL by the book with no cheats except free day. He wants people to have dramatic transformations because that's what will sell his books. If people cheat and then don't get the results, they will blame Bill and his program. On cheating: it's all about your goals. If you are not entering a fitness competition, then cheat occasionally if it will maintain your sanity! It won't completely blow your chances of obtaining your goals. Bill and his fat police thugs won't show up at your door and stick a scarlet " F " on your chest if you sneak a bite of " unauthorized food. " You may have a goal of dropping your body fat by 10% in 12 weeks. If you cheat, you may only drop it by 8% in 12 weeks, but that's still better than hanging out on the couch eating cheetos for twelve weeks and getting fatter. It may take 14 weeks or 16 weeks to obtain your goal, but you still will make it! I used to mentor a 60-day weight loss course for overeaters. It was so frustrating when these women would get to day 55 and say " oops, I had a doughnut. I'd better start over! " As for me, I do occasionally cheat a little on non-cheat days. I would rather miss my goal by a hair and still enjoy Ghirardelli dark chocolate every few days than exceed my goal by eating miserably clean for twelve weeks and binge for three days after the challenge is over.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I'm with you, well said. I refuse to feel guilty for the chocolate I ate on Valentine's Day, and no that was NOT my cheat day LOL.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Where can I find this info about ''easing'' into BFL? I did BFL back in 2000 with great results. I started a size 18-20, followed the plan (not perfectly), got pregnant, quit BFL, and still got down to a size 10 by the end of the year! This time, I'm having a very hard time getting back into it, so maybe easing into it will help. deb -----Original Message----- From: " " <allan_mary@...> Subj: Re: 's fan club!
