Thanks for the comment Frank. Today (3 yrs later ish) things are going really well. I've still maintained lots of these habits I started. I'm not as lean but I'm healthy and very happy w/tons of energy. I've also just added mixed martial arts to my weekly routine and so far loving it...even though I get my @$$ beat. Haha.

Thanks for the comment NC-du8vc. When I mentioned developmental reading, I was referring to other self help books I was reading (in addition to Body for Life). Most of them had to do with time management, and spiritual connections. Good luck on your journey my friend.

@@amyleeles7700 thanks for the comment..really appreciate u🙌

appreciate the msg and feedback. will def keep that in mind for my next one🙌👊

i appreciate u and ur message Chuck! actually just got back from the gym...i almost got lazy😄

@@mellangestudio mad respect! Fun fact: I read BFL in my early 20’s (back in 1999) and was in the best shape of my life. That was a long time ago, I just started re-reading the book again today (now in my late 40’s) and tomorrow starts day 1. Fired-UP! Thank YOU for your motivation brother.

that's facts... i was getting a little discouraged after the first month thinking i wasn't making any progress....but just kept sticking thru it..

that's great to hear...pls keep me posted on ur journey. u got this🙌💯

What's up Dylan. Thanks for the question. I followed my coaches diet plan which was tweaked and customized each week for me. Generally speaking though, the plan that was customized for me was very similar to the BFL plan. Currently now that I have no coach, I stick to the same foods and portions inside the BFL book.

@@mellangestudio so are you talking portion sizes or a macro rx that it was tweeked with?

thanks for the comment..u got this... im thinking of redoing another 12 weeks.

thanks man! I'm 5'7. and yes...the for life is def the toughest part...I'm currently trying to do this again but I'm not as disciplined now as this video. my overall habits are still good but during that time (while filming this video) was when I was my most focused.

@@mellangestudio This BOL looks fairly extreme and might not be unsustainable for a lot of people, especially as they get older. I am 5'11' and almost 67 years old. I went to a weight loss group with my wife starting in December and also started exercising about three times per week at the recreation center. They have great classes and working out with a group is fun and helps with accountability. The instructor was great and led the group through warm up, weight routines, and cool down stretches using free weights, yoga mats, and sometimes a folding chair. I sweated like crazy and didn't look forward the sessions, but felt a great sense of accomplishment after each time. I've lost about 15 pounds to 175 lbs, putting me in the "normal" weight range for the first time in years.

@@MrGp3po 67 and doing what you do is inspiring to me . One thing I really enjoyed about the Body for Life book were the before/after images is seeing the vast amount of life stories and age ranges. Seeing people younger and older than me helped me realize it has more to do with my mindset than my situation/age. Congrats on your progress and taking care of your body!

thanks Guy. i needed to hear that..been a few weeks i haven't been at gym or eating right...i gotta refocus.

bravo...i had to dust my book off too..haha. look forward to hearing more about ur progress!

@@mellangestudioI’m currently in my 3rd round of the 12 week BFL challenge. I’ve lost just over 30 lbs since April. Another 100 lbs to go.

incredible progress thanks for keeping me posted...really proud of you @@oregonhockeyfan

Hello Keondra. Hope your Body for Life journey is a great one thus far. I never really counted calories, but I was calorie conscious. With that said, it was definitely more portion control for me. After week 6-8, I usually just measured each protein, carbs, and veggie portions close to the size of my fist. The weight scale that I bought really helped at start but after I started seeing the avg portions I was eating and how my body reacted to it, it became much easier. I didn't starve myself or eat less, I actually ate more - but more healthy foods. My energy flew through the roof just with that alone. I can totally relate to your last comment about the frustrating attempts. I believe I did this program 3-5 times'ish before this one I documented. It was definitely me (and not the program) to blame. I finally trusted the process and followed Bill's advice in the book along with my coach Davin who helped me stay accountable.
