Hello everyone!  How very exciting that you now have a BB!  This will really help! I've just bought the book a couple of weeks ago and am most of the way through it.  I've been doing Body for Life since January 6th and am now in my 3rd week of Challenge #2. I'm a single mommy of 2 who has spent most of her life as a couch tater and has amazingly discovered the joys of getting my body in shape and living an active lifestyle!  Who'd have ever thought I'd actually LOVE working out?!?!  Certainly not me...but here I am.  Time is always a problem...only so many hours in the day and LOTS to do...but I have only missed a couple of workouts since starting in January...and considering I do them at 4:30 a.m., I think that's pretty great.  I love the energy and self-confidence I'm gaining through the process.  My life has improved so much already...and I still have a ways to go until I reach my goal weight and fitness level.  I want to be the hottest mommy in town!   Not to mention set a great example for my kids.  My 10 year old daughter has already gotten interested in getting strong!  YAY! I look forward to everything I learn here and getting to know you all. BTW:  I love the book...straight-forward and no sweet talkin'!

Hi I am Keith. Ellen recommended this site in our BFL support site. I am currently taking part in my 2nd Body For Life challenge. I finished my 1st BFL challenge on April 13th and lost 20lbs. I am married and we have 1 son. my wife and I are caregivers for my mother- in-law and currently I am an unemployed credit analyst.

Hey Ellen -- and everyone...it's great to see some energy here. I've had this under wraps for a long time and have been looking forward to opening the doors. There's still much to do and I've got to ensure our moderators are awake and ready. So, in the meantime, everyone enjoy and bear with me while I get all the kinks worked out. Thank you so much! Best, Shawn

Hi there, it's Heidi. Ellen is really promoting this site, no?  Well, here we all are and ready to go.  I will try to look at the site a little closer later.  I am on my first BFL challenge and am currently sidelined a little bit with injuries but trying my best to stay on track!  Thanks for the info!! Heidi

Ellen, Hi, thanks for the warm welcome. I just checked out your website which is really impressive! I like reading your journal as I can relate to your everyday situations and life experiences.

Hey Everbody! and Hey to Ellen, Mitch, Keith, Danni, and Heidi!  My online LIFE-Line buddies who got me through 12 weeks of the BFL challenge and into a size 6!  YaaaHOOO! Anyway, as a quick introduction.  I completed a BFL challenge Jan 6 - Mar 30, lost 20 lbs, went from a 14 to a 6, and feel UTTERLY FABULOUS!  I'm 5'8" and had no idea I could ever be a 6 - it still amazes me how little I knew about my own body.  Still have lots to learn! Someone smarter than me is going to have to help me figure out how to put my picture next to my posts on this site.  I can't get into the shadow creature.  Ellen? Looking forward to getting to know everyone here and learning from you all! Mandy

Hiya Mandy!  So glad you're here!  I just sent you a private message...so click on your "My Profile" button to check for it. I was gonna email you about how to do this...but figured there might be others who need a teeny bit of help posting their pictures too, so thought I'd respond here. Under "ABSolute Success Support Center", click on "My Profile". Then, under "Private Messages", click on "My Profile" again. Arrow down the page until you come to "Upload a custom avatar to our system:" And then click on the link provided. Then it allows you to browse pictures ON YOUR COMPUTER so you can select which one to upload to their server to use as your avatar (so you don't hafta have your own webspace to host the image). Pick the picture where you look FABULOUS! and select it for upload. Follow the directions after that, and you're DONE! Then go look at one of your previous posts to see if it shows up correctly...it takes effect immediately, and on all of your prior posts...not just new ones. NO MORE SHADOW!

Hello folks, It's good to see this board with more energy than when I last visited (which was in Feb.).  I was invited here by Sean B. some time ago.  I'm an owner of a yahoo email group for the state of NY (over 325 members strong!) and I guess if this board is up and activated, I guess it's ok to tell my group about this, right?  Anywho, I've done BFL twice now; once last year and currently this year.  I haven't had much success this year until recently when I began watching my caloric intake more closely.  I have a lot to lose (bodyfat I mean) but I am enjoying the process each and every day. Glad to be here and thanks for livening up the board! Rose

Hello, everyone, I am Dennis.  I began Body for Life actually in it's conception, although not entering the competition officially.  I have been following EAS since wow, I think 1996.  Found EAS has changed alot since Bill left.  I bought Shawn's book in 01/2003 and actually had the privelege and honor of meeting Steve Adele and Shawn Phillips at the Arnold Fitness Expo in Columbus, OH.  They are both awesome guys, and walk the walk!  This site has been GREAT and has changed definitely for the better!  Anyway, I am a single father, struggling to better myself since my divorce last year.  On top of it all, I quit smoking and began a new and rewarding career!  It is a pleasure to meet all of you and look forward to talking again!!!!!  Let's go work out!! Dennis

Strength in mind, spirit, and body!
