Re: Tendons! and other questions

Dan -- Do you have the Body For Life book? If not, get it and read

it. It has the BEST advice I've found anywhere. After reading it,

follow the program, by sitting down and making out goals for

yourself. Write them down (You can by the BFL Journal if you

like).

You'll note that many people choose a weight 'goal', but others

define their goals with fitness levels, ie. I'll be able to run so

far so fast etc. Others seek a lower bodyfat percentage. Sounds

like you've learned, to your shock, that your bodyfat isn't so

great. Maybe that is where you will focus, but ONLY you can decide

what you want to change, and how to measure it. Take some pictures

NOW. Start following the eating/exercise guidelines ASAP, and check

in here often for support and advice and to keep the rest of us up-

to-date on your progress.

Great having you aboard this fine group.

Welcome Dan,

I got the best advice by reading the BFL book cover to cover. Then I printed

out all the worksheets and made copies to cover the 84 day period and put

them in a binder. Then I Xeroxed all the workout pictures and attached them

along with a dailey work out sheet to a clip board and took it to the gym with

me.

Staying connected to this discussion list will provide you with all kinds of

support, reminders and great suggestions. So keep coming back.

Have you taken your Before pictures yet?

can it be with a regular camera and then scanned to be put on computer to

share with the group? I need educating on all of that.

Woo hoo!

>>>For the purposes of this list, yes. That will be perfect.

You will be so glad you took your before picture because in about 6 weeks you

are going to take another one, and then in 12 weeks. When you compare them,

you will be amazed at the changes only the photo will allow you to see.

Here we go.......

Dan,

That before picture IS essential for the mere fact that you will forget

where you came from if you don't have a photo of it. Also, when you get to

where you want to be, people won't believe that you used to be a " before "

picture. I've told the story on here before about my own sister-in-law who

told me that wasn't me in my before picture! It was my before picture, with

me in it but she would swear to you that I did not have that back fat or

love handles on me! If you stick with BFL, you'll need those before

pictures for evidence! :-)

I have not taken a before photo.....I guess that is essential
