New 2008 BFL Challenge~!

Sunshine · 01-22-2008

Good evening everyone! It's so great to run across a BFL forum that is actually active!

I've done BFL once when I was 20 and then again at 24 - and I hope this is the last time I do it (I hope to do this permanently!).

I joined here in hopes to share stories and successes and gain back the information (it's been too long!) about the plan!

Hi Sunshine! Welcome to the forum. There are many of us here, dedicated to success. As long as you keep trying, no matter what, you can do this for the long term. We are here to help... but in turn, you have to help us too

Good luck!

hello sunshine, welcome

It's not that new, but there's a lot of new traffic lately. A bunch of us started our challenges at the same time (1/7/08) so we are all in it together. I'm in my third challenge, some are in #2, and a few in #1, but it's a united cheering section to keep each other motivated. We'll cheer you on too!

Sunshine: I'll try to make this quick...for your sake. In the late 90's I did my first BFL challenge to GREAT GREAT GREAT results. After that, I didn't keep the "for life" part and tried over and over and over for 5 years and couldn't complete even one challenge. Last Sept. I tried again and I have successfully completed 1 challenge, lost weight through the holidays, and started Challenge 2 Jan 7th. So I'm in week 3 right now.

I am proud I didn't give up on myself and have stopped beating myself up for 5 years of not taking myself seriously. Now I am proud and happy and feeling strong!

Biggest thing I've learned: "Progress not perfection."
