Body for Life and Me

Sunday, March 26, 2006





I have just completed my Ms Fit Meltdown Contest and entered my front ,side and back vew photos plus 3 of my favotites for extra.

I did not reach the gola I wrote on the goal sheet, which was to losse 19 scale lbs and 10% BF . Maybe I was too eager to do too much in my 12 week challenge. But I did my best, I worked very hard, everyday and I feel I accomplished alot. when I started this journey 14 months ago I was an unfit 200 lb 48.88% fat unhappy Granny with aches and pains

Today I am 143 lbs and 30% fat and as happy has can be, energitic, full of pride, busting with joy and eager to continue my journey to contine living my new lifestyle. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I'm a work in progress and I'm GETTEN*HER*DONE!!

Wish me luck on the Meltdown Contest!!!

When Body for Life makes Friends

When Body for Life makes friends , It’s for Life!

I don’t know the exact moment that I met you, the exact time or the date. But I know where we were, we were on the same journey at the same time. We were living miles and miles apart yet we were always right there, just a website away, to share our journey with each other.
Was it Tracker? Or Lifer? The Torch? Or Julie Whitt that brought us together? I don’t quite remember. But I do know it was because of Body for Life. Two men brought us together, God gave Bill Phillips an idea and Bill listened to God and carried out the idea to make a healthier and more fit world. Through God’s Plan and Bill’s insight to listen and make the plan work we were all brought together. We have become friends, not just cyber friends, not just chat room friends or online internet friends. Real Friends, Friends that know each other thru a bond that even some of our closest loved ones don’t understand. We acquired this truly remarkable friendship all because we have some of the most unique positive qualities in common.
We have a very strong sense of purpose
We have confidence in ourselves
We never make excuses for not doing something we believe in
We always try our hardest to reach perfection
We never think of failing
We set goals and work extremely hard to achieve them
We understand our weakness and are proud of our strong points
We can accept the benefits from criticism as we know it can only improve us.
We know what we want and we have the visualization of it
We plan our days the night before, as we know this is our key to success
We turn our bad habits into good ones
We tune out negativity and Think Positive
We learn from our mistakes and not afraid to ask for help
We know the determination and discipline it takes to turn our dreams into reality
and we have the mind set to GET*HER*DONE!!!!
We have a fire of passion that burns within us,
We keep the fire burning and carry the Torch with pride
We BELIEVE, WE ACHIEVE, and WE INSPIRE !!
We Are The Body for Life Family of Friends
Friends For Life by Body for Life!!!!

I called EAS today and got some discouraging News

I called EAS this mornign and I got some discouraging news about the challenge , I asked about when you do multiable challenges, I flat out asked, I said I did 3 official challenges last year and lost most of my wt then, I am still loosing and gaining muscle and enterening again. I asked if they saw my pic and read my story and like it and were impressed would they go back to the other challenges from last year and see that I went from 200 lbs to now at at 144 lbs and I would have a chance of being a winner as a multiable challenger. James told me NO! he said we only go by the one 12 week challenge that we are looking at. I said well a lot of people can make that change in 12 weeks but like me it took a constance challenge and fantastic results . I said like and I even named names, did multible challenges and won, and he said no , no Example, Michelle Lee Won her last challenge, only because of the last challenge, the last challenge showed remarkable results, also on Mina Hoba, she won from the last challenge only and they did not look back to see that they had come a long way. they only show that now because they did win a challenge.So anyway, I was disapointed to heard that, Bill kept telling me that, they have too many to go and look back, but I was under the idea that as long as I said in my essay that this is my 4th challenge they would look back.So most of my challenges for each 12 weeks is a good result and makes me happy but none of my 12 week challenges are anything spectatular , it's when I look at the 1st before and the now pic that is so amazing and BFL will not be looking for that.To make a long sad story short, If I intend to Win a position in any challenge I have to make a change that looks like it took the whole year to do.Ok, I'm disapointed but I'm not giving up,My challenge this past 12 weeks to me were wonderful, but to BFL it's going to be nothing to talk about, sohere's the plan.I am going to contine on my journey and get in my tip top shape for the cruise as I planned to do, then after the cruise I will start a new challenge where I will kick up my hiit's a notch and lift and make that 12 week challenge so noticable with so much muscle that no one not even The judges will be able to take their eyes off me. I wILL do it, I will GET*HER*DONE!My dream is to become a spokesperson for BFL and I will !!!!So everybody, stand aside, cause here I come!!!! GET*HER*DONE LINDA is READY to GET*HER*DONE!!

I like your attitude, get her done. You go for it!! But, I hate to rain on your parade. You may become a finalist but you will not win for one simple reason: you do not have a "story" to tell. I mean you do not have a limiting disease, etc., at least not that I am aware of. Look at the majority of finalists this past year and you will see a lot had a "story". In my mind, EAS has the wrong focus. This for life, yet they are only looking at 12 weeks. They should look at people who have made this a lifestyle, like you, people that can be an inspiration for making a permanent change. EAS should be looking to make people lifelong customers, purchasers of their products, and not just people who buy their stuff for 12 weeks, do not see dramatic change, don't win or even become a finalist, and then quit, going back to their old behaviors, and not buying the EAS products.

I agree with this so much, BFL is for Life, not just 12 weeks so why doesn't EAS look for more people that have made this their lifestyle. BFL is my Lifestyle, in fact BFL is my Life and it always will be. Yes I am disapointed on the judging but I will continue to be a BFLer and someday somehow I'll be a BFL spokesperson, ( Maybe I already am, I mean That's all I talk about is BFL and I sure to practice what I preach)
