Hi everyone my name is kyla and I just started my third week in

BFL. So far so good ) I think I've tried everything in the world

to lose weight then i read this book and saw the wonderfull pictures

of the strong women and wanted to be like that. Anyway just needed

some motivation to push me a little thxs

Welcome Kyla! BFL is great! I can't believe I did not exercise in my

pre-BFL days...not one thing! I started BFL Oct 2001 and today I look forward

to my

workouts. In fact, I can get kinda crabby if I have to miss my workout for

some reason. Then, the food is so sensible. I feel good no longer eating the

junk and mixing the wrong foods like I used to. (OK, I still do bad things

on Free Day...but that's part of the plan! It helps me refocus for the week

cuz I feel so bloated and hurt.

How about posting your stats and goals to the list to get " a witness " ....and

then throw a few of your menus our way and we can help you make sure it is

authorized food and includes the proper balance of protein, carbs, and fats.

Glad you found us!!!

Hi Kyla,

Welcome to the group:) I have to say BFL is the only plan that has

ever worked for me. The meal planning is basic and workouts are not

easy but way better than things that I used to do, which never were

that great to begin with. Congratulations on taking the first step to

bettering yourself. You've come to a great place with some great

people:) Good luck! May I suggest posting your meals each day. This

group is really great at letting you know if you have enough

carb/protein and fat to get you through:)

Welcome!!

Well I this is where i need help i spent the fist two weeks just

getting used to getting up and going to the gym and eating 6x a

day .....now I'm trying to figure out the whole food thing .....I

would love any advice given ......usually my day goes like this ...

Brkfst:

grapenuts with low fat milk and cottage cheese

Lunch is usually a small sandwich turkey, with all the veggies i can

fit and mustard

Dinner grilled chicken ( or small piece of steak )a baked potato and

a salad

Snack might be either yogurt with cottage cheese or

nutrition shake sometimes a salad

Boring I know but this is all so new to me so I've been sticking

with the basics until I was more comfortable.

as far as stats .....today I'm going to have my bofy fat

tested ....but I am 5'11' wiegh 195 right now my measure ments are

38' bust .....waist 33' .....hips (i'm not sure if I'm measuring

right ) 43 3/4 " thighs ( at fat part ) 26 " and calves at 17 3/4 " I

working on getting some photos up here pretty soon

Hi Kyla, and welcome! It's great that you took your starting

measurements because oftentimes that is the area where you see the

most improvement. Sometimes the only thing that keeps me super

motivated is to see those measurements shrinking (since the scale

doesn't always reflect your true progress). Your menu looks just

great too, so keep up the good work and keep checking in with us

here. The support is absolutely essential!

I use 2% cottage cheese. Lowfat is recommended.

Lunch is usually a small sandwich turkey, with all the veggies i can

fit and mustard

Try to avoid deli turkey. I get turkey cutlets and bake or poach them and

then slice it for sandwiches. Less sodium that way. Bread needs to be that

good whole wheat stuff. Lots of veggies and mustartd...big thumbs up!

Dinner grilled chicken ( or small piece of steak )a baked potato and

a salad

GOOD

Snack might be either yogurt with cottage cheese or

nutrition shake sometimes a salad

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE COTTAGE CHEESE AND DANNON LITE AND FIT SUGAR FREE YOGURT.

FOR A BALANCED PROTEIN CARB RATIO, I DO ABOUT 3/4 CP CC AND 1/2 CONTAINER (3

OZ) OF YOGURT. A FEW ALMOND ACCENTS ADDS A NICE CRUNCH.

LOOKS GOOD SO FAR. REMEMBER TO EAT EVERY 2-3 HOURS. AND GET IN YOUR WATER.

IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT FOR FLUSHING OUT THE FAT CELLS THAT THE BODY IS

EXPELLING.

Boring I know but this is all so new to me so I've been sticking

with the basics until I was more comfortable.

YEAH, GOOD IDEA. BETTER TO START WITH WHAT IS MANAGEABLE THAN TO OVERWHELM

YOURSELF RIGHT OUT OF THE PROGRAM.

GO TO WWW.BODY-FOR-LIFE-TRACKER.COM AND SET UP A PROFILE. YOU CN EVEN

DOWNLOAD YOUR PICTURES THERE. IT IS VERY COOL.

GOOD JOB. NOW...HOW ABOUT THOSE EXERCISES?
