Body For Life
I started the Body for Life program on the 4th of Jan. This along with the swimming 6 miles a week and now I have started biking 3 times a week, I have lost 15 pounds since then! I cant wait to get down to under 220! Not trying to boast, just happy

BFL is an excellent way to get fit. I used it to drop 30 pounds last year. And I've kept it off. Once I hit my target weight, I've adapted the program to fit my needs. I've carried over the 6 meals a day, but since I run a lot I've upped the carbs significantly. I no longer do his lifting program either, but I still lift a couple times a week. My wife dropped 50 pounds doing BFL after our last kid. She sticks with those routines to this day.

Congrats Coach. That's impressive for only a couple of weeks

If I had the time, I'd do split body because I like spending the whole hour on chest/triceps etc... but I'd never do it right. |
On the body for life program did you drink the shakes as well?

I did Body For Life one time in college. I did pretty well with it, losing 5ish pounds and gaining back a bunch of muscle that I'd lost. My boss in college did it and his before/after picture was absolutely insane. He looked just as ripped as any of the examples in the BFL book.
The shakes aren't important at all, and frankly EAS/Myoplex stuff is way overpriced. Protein shakes are convenient, though, and there are good choices out there if you want to do shakes. I'd recommend just packing a bunch of actual food with you, but that might not be practical depending on your situation. I'm working out a bunch right now and lost 6 pounds last month and gained a bunch of muscle, but am not doing BFL. The ol' "burn more than you consume" plan works pretty well, although 6+ meals a day is still a good idea. |

My wife did BFL and loved it. She has now broken away and does her own program (a mix of BFL and other training she has received from nutritionists). She even used a version of the diets while pregnant. Gained 24 lbs. and dropped back to pre pregnancy weight 10 days after birth.
