I'm at an age when many women believe their best years are behind them. I hope to convince my "Sisters" that many more of those "best years" are waiting to be lived! I'm living proof it is never to late to live them. Not to long ago I weighed nearly 200 pounds and was being treated for a long list of obesity related medical problems. Thankfully there came a point in my life when I decided to keep my self promises. When I did...my life opened to a world of possibilities.

Thank you everyone!

I love BFL. Prior to getting involved in this program I could count the number of true friends on one hand. Wow..what a sad commentary to my old lifestyle!
Today, I am finding good, solid relationships in states I have never even traveled. I continue to be blessed as I walk the Body for Life path.

Cindy, Steve, Dana, Rena, Tracey, Jessie thanks so much for your uplifting words on my Sunday Blog. It was such a big treat to read them. Today I go back to work. One step closer to full recovery. Frankly I was feeling a little blue...but not any more. Your prayers, support and friendship is as empowering as balanced nutrition and regular exercise!

Thanks girls...I am really excited about having the opportunity to meet in you Tennessee and to hear all about your transformations and ongoing commitments to our favorite lifestyle program!

Steve...Congratulations on your efforts! When I met you in the Twin Cities I was impressed with your determination to take things up a notch. As I recall, prior to your injury you were working hard to build you best body ever. Its great to hear that the BFL program has brought that up to a new level!

I realized while reading Steve's comments that many of you are in the final leg of the last challenge for 2005 in order to qualify for the big EAS One Million Dollar Prize. Wow...time is rushing by! (To qualify you must finish your challenge by September 25 and of course send in that entry packet no later than October 10, 2005 to be considered for this year's competition.)
Please let us know how your challenge is going! Remember...don't get discouraged. Many folks don't start seeing weight changes until the fifth or eight week! Also remember...the tape measure is more powerful than the scale in determining just how far you have come.

This year you are not required to send in that fourth week photo. But I know for myself, it was really helpful to me to take photos thru out my challenge to document the changes that weren't showing up on my scale. If you are getting frustrated....please grab a camera, enlist a trusted friend or family member and take that midway photo now. Compare it to your before picture. I know...if you have been on program...you will be pleasantly surprised and more determined than ever to finish your challenge with amazing results!

Remember, you have a chance to win this year! You can increase your odds by sticking with the program both nutritionally and physically, creating a solid support system, and practicing the universal law of reciprocation.

If like Steve you started your challenge to late to qualify for this year's big prize...use this challenge to win next year!

Good luck! I know you can do this!
Your BFL Buddy,
Michelle
