Catwoman, is the main song of the movie (the hypnotic song that's playing all the time, especially when Jerry Dandridge is seducing a woman) just like it is in the movie, or does it have lyrics? I found this song on the internet, but it had lyrics sung by a man with a terrible voice. If you tell...

We Burners are kickin' butt!!! Krisztina, I just put in my order for all 4 presale workouts. I just got Slow and Heavy today, too, so I'm pumped! I've been excelling as far as working out - my week starts Monday and I've done cardio everyday, and did 2 GS workouts so far. I have 3 more...

Marsha, I'm right there with you about the cheat day! I think rather than a cheat day, I will try a cheat meal, maybe something fried or a yummy dessert that I get at a restaurant. Just remember that you learned something really valuable this week that will help you tweak what you're doing in...

Hey X, I'm still here! 1.2 pounds sounds perfect a la Tom Venuto! The first time I did this program, the biggest adjustment I had to make was in my mentality, i.e. no big weight loss promises here (I know the rationale is good, but losing 5 pounds in one week is so motivating!!!). You are...

I'll add one more comment. If you are not willing to devote some time to really putting what the book says into action, then you might be wasting your time. Tom Venuto says this too - there is nothing easy about what he proposes in the book, but what he offers is solid information (and LOTS OF...

Don't know if this is an inappropriate question, but how much are these various procedures? Does insurance cover any of it? This is probably in my future, based on heredity...

RE: BFFM'ers eating one I agree with X wholeheartedly, especially if TTOM is coming. I think the best idea is to get a weight once per week at the same time of day under the same circumstances. Over time you may notice a pattern throughout the month (i.e. weight loss before/during TTOM not...

Getting Strong, are you serious? that sucks! I'd really hoped that 12 week rotation would do the trick! Were you eating clean, high calories or too low calories, any ideas about your resistance to losing? I have to admit, I'm confused about weight loss and resistance training in general. Most of...

Morning ladies! Things going pretty well here, today is my high calorie day. I think I'll eat clean all day and have a cheat meal tonight. We are going to a party and I am making dessert involving German Chocolate cake mix and melty cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter stuff, and there will be...

X I agree about Body for Life Bars. Especially Cookies and Cream. The Zone bars also work in a pinch, but don't taste nearly as good IMO. Things are going ok for me - I'm encountering my usual pattern of doing great with the eating plan up until the evening and then really craving junk. I...

Are you doing each video 3 times a week (for a total of 6 weight workouts)? If so, I'd be willing to bet your body needs more rest. Its during rest, not during the workout itself, that your body actually becomes stronger...

Would you consider eating a bigger breakfast (bigger in terms of calories AND bulk - oatmeal with fruit + protein source)? I do this according to BFFM's recommendations, and have found that the feeling of fullness really carries pretty far through the day. I keep eating meals every 3 hours or...

This thread really illustrates the variability in body types - some people can eat what they want and maintain low/average body weights, others have to be strict, or can work out all the time and not lose. I used to find this fact frustrating, but now I'm using it as a tool of acceptance. I...

Lizzy, I feel like a piggy compared to me too! I think 1500 is too low, especially with the Cathe rotation I am trying to do (which involves an hour of cardio and an hour of weights each day). This is probably why I got all the way til 10:00 and the opened up the Cool Whip (don't know about the...

I'm excited to see how many people have jumped on here! When should we start up new threads? Everyone's meals look great, at least as far as I know. I'm glad to see some others putting together some random things into a meal. I find myself doing that alot. The past 2 days have been fairly...

Thanks, Lizzy, I thought it was a funny quote. Sounds like we have quite a few motivated, new BFFM people! I guess no one is an expert, but luckily this program seems to be straightforward and to depend more on your own individual results rather than anything too formulaic. I did great...

For the entire workout for during the twisting motions or in kickboxing - carpet provides resistance against knee trying to turn the foot so your knee can get really irritated.

I live in an apartment with new, fluffy carpeting that is really irritating my knees. Is there anything I can put down on top of carpet to workout on? I looked up puzzlemats on Google and it said these are not recommended on top of carpeting...

RE: BFFM folks - is this a silly question? Good morning ladies! Thought I'd go ahead and start this morning with our check-in. My goals for the day are to have a true BFFM day, which means looking at my goals this morning, eating 5 small meals (meal number one was 350 calories, oatmeal...

RE: BFFM folks - is this a silly question? Yeah, I think it is only an e-book, but its PACKED with information, so well worth the money!
