You'll show her " what's up w/all the weight lifting " w/your new leaner

body!

She must be closely related to Bob from the " Merry Christmas, Bob " article.

http://www.skwigg.com/id13.html

People like that genuinely motivate me. The more they sit and eat

Cheetos and whine about how they don't have time to exercise, the more

motivated I become to totally kick ass.

So, I can't be too upset when I cross paths with one of them. :-)

I get this all the time, so I quit telling people and downplay what

I'm doing. I find it just isn't worth it. I have so many women tell

me I better stop all the weight training because I'll be too bulky.

And that I must eat too much because I get caught at my desk having

one of my mini meals. I've given up, in many cases, trying to explain

to people (women in particular) that fat loss is more important than

scale weight loss if you want to look good in a bikini. It is really

hard to convince women that hours of cardio in a fat burning zone isnt

the answer. And that rice crackers and no fat high glycemic foods

actually make you fat!

She even made me mad and I don't even know her LOL! First off I never

ate bars and you can completely do BFL without ever taking a supplement

or eat bars/shakes. And in my opinion you have to cook to be healthy no

matter what your " diet " consists of. Keep going she will be eating

her words I guarantee you!

Thanks for all of the replies. Maybe I'll treat her to a dozen

Krispy Kremes...my treat! :-)

I do not use bars either. Only as an emergency snack, then I only

eat 1/2. I do love my smoothies because they just make things

easier. Lots of goodies packed into 1 glass.

Sometimes it feels like nobody cooks dinner any more. I spent 8

years working as a chef, so I know how to cook and I love it. Now

it's like learning cooking all over again, using simple, clean and

healthy ingredients. I also like teaching my daughters how to cook

healthy and actually very easy dinners.

Keep up the good work everyone.

" She could use BFL a lot more than me anyway! "

HA HA HA HA

My friend who is 5'2, about 190, thinks that she can't lift weights because

she will just bulk up. She also thinks her body fat is 7%... I don't mean

to be rude but... Um... has anyone actually ever heard of that? I can see

on her places that she needs to lose weight (hey I need to too so I'm not

being a b!tch), and I have a hard time thinking she's only 7% fat... more

like 35% at least... She had it done with calipers at her gym... She's had a

tummy tuck and lipo so I wonder if that messes with what the reading is,

even tho they did take it from her neck and arms too which haven't been

messed with... Point is, I am kind of getting tired of just smiling and

nodding when she thinks she doesn't have really any fat to lose, that

lifting weights will just bulk her up, and that she's 7% body fat... She

works out for like 2-3 hours everyday, mostly cardio and some abs, and...

It's not changing much, and I love her to death and I know she wants to be

smaller and fitter, and I just don't know what to say anymore other than

keep smiling and nodding... Any advice?

Anyone have this response from people?

Hi everyone! These posts couldn't have come at a better time. I am

currently dealing with a lot of this at my work right now. My

coworkers are always talking about how they hate the way they look,

that they are sooo out of shape. At first, I tried to let them know

about the body for life and what I do, but they don't want any part

of listening to me. They make comments like, " you're already thin,

you don't need to do anything " and " I can't get up early to work

out " , and " I have kids, I don't have time to do all that " , etc,

etc. All the while they continue to try every fad diet and new diet

pill or herb that comes on the market without success. It's so

frustrating. Now, I just stay out of the conversation. Also, there

is a lady in my office who has recently lost a bunch of weight by

not eating anything after 6pm and eating what she would for dinner

at breakfast and my coworkers are all over her for tips/tricks to

help them!!!!!

I just think it's because with body for life, you actually have

to work for it.

Have you ever physically showed her the book with the success stories and

all the pics on the front/back covers?? If not, that might be a good place

to start!
