Duckwater 0 #1 February 10, 2004 Has anyone else done the Body for Life by Bill Phillips? I am 2 months into it and I have dropped all fat and I am starting to get really big muscles. Its kind of a chore at first (especially eating 6 times a day)but once you get used to the program, it gets easy. This program really works! Here is my DL pictures from 1999 at 200lbs and last June at 165. I didnt realize how fat I was till I saw these together. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could not stick it out the whole time, though. I fell off the wagon at about 10 weeks. That is actually why I started skydiving. A bunch of my friends and I went to do tandems in college, and the dz would not take me because I was too big (probably 240 at that time, but I got as big as 265). I did not ever think about it again until years later. My goal was to lose to 225, and when I got there, it made me remember that the weight limit at that dz in college was 225. I decided I had to do it. So I went out and did a tandem, and the rest is history. For all you "You'll just gain it back" people out there, I weigh 195 now, about 3 years later. Oh, and DW, if you think you can't gain it back, I know a couple of people who had great results from BFL, then quit. They were left with the six meal a day appetite, but no longer controlled what or how much they ate and no longer worked out. It wasn't pretty.

My goals were a little different though. Started at 165 12% body fat and went up to 185 at 4.8% body fat. I am now 183 lbs and 11% bodyfat. Bad thing is that all the fat is around the waist. Oh well, when I can run again, I'll burn as much of that fat as I can. First though I need to quit eating Hershey's with almonds.

You should take the DL's off and just use the pics from your DL's. Trust me, the DL # is not as important as the other stuff. Besides number is encoded else where. Take it from me, I know. Good luck & keep us posted. Airborne! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Duckwater 0 #10 February 10, 2004 Paul, I will be in Perris for a couple weeks next Saturday.

Lots of hard work and patience but very worth it.....Not just a diet - it really is a way of life, and a rather easy one to follow. As a follow up, for those chisseled abs, you should check out his brothers book called "AbSolution"...Kick ass abs...but that is also when you are at your peak fitness, still not there yet. Skydiving and beer.... Congrats on your success - keep it up! Dreams become reality, one choice at a time...
