What happened to EAS?

feeds@yuku.com (iggyau) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:04:26 GMT

Hey I have a dumb question. What happened to EAS Australia and EAS NZ? There is no website now and I noticed the forum is now the unofficial BFL forums.

Confused - please help

feeds@yuku.com (BellaRache) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 08:36:44 GMT

In my searches, I've found references to registering. Do I have to? Do I register on the US site?
I got my entry form from Nutrition Express & just assumed that I'd start & when I'd finished I'd send it all in.
If someone could answer my question, that would be great.
I've probably got myself all mucked up.

It's been awhile...

Kia Ora everybody, old and new. Those who've been on the Boards more than a couple of years may remember me from back in the day. I'm back in NZ after a yearlong round the world trip through South, Central, and North America (with a bit of Europe tacked on the end). I've spent more than half the past three years overseas, so it's been awhile since I've regularly been on the boards. Last time would have been back in early 2007 I guess. Nice to see the Cardio Challenges have...

AUSTRALIAN FITNESS EXPO: 18-19 April 2009

feeds@yuku.com (Kek) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 18:54:55 GMT

I'll be in Sydney for the Filex convention from Friday 17th to Sunday 19th April, and will be sticking my head in at the expo pretty frequently.

Anyone going?

......Anyone?

Victorian bushfires - PLEASE HELP

feeds@yuku.com (Kek) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 09:59:51 GMT

Many people in my local area have lost loved ones and/or are now without homes. Whilst insurance will replace their homes, cars and furniture in most cases, they have immediate needs that are quite urgent. No matter where you are, you can help by donating to the bushfire relief appeals. Even if you don't have much to give yourself, you might be able to make a...

CALLING ALL NEWBIES!

feeds@yuku.com (Kek) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:01:26 GMT

Right! So it's well past New Year, and if you planned for 2009 to be the year of change, now would be a great time to start.

If you feel unsure, like you don't really belong, nervous about committing to something like this, or have any other doubts or reservations, take heart - we ALL felt the same way at the beginning of our own journeys. Body for LIFE works. It's...

Attn Qld members!

feeds@yuku.com (DanJamMark) — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 07:24:10 GMT

If anyone is after the 'BFL Champions' book, I've just picked up a copy from QBD on special for $12.95!! What a great buy!
Hopefully they'll have some in QBD stores around the country, but if you happen to be in Bris Vegas, the store I picked up my copy from was Toombul. Cheers!

Merry Christmas!!

PUTTING ON SIZE ?

feeds@yuku.com (Chico) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:21:59 GMT

HI All

I'm 5 weeks into my challenge and loving it.....

I will cut to the chase, the 5 weeks have been great and I have seen some great results... I'm going to change from Myoplex lite to Deluxe as I have always had problems trying to put muslce on, as I normally just burn it off very quickly..

Any ideas on how I can put some muscle on, keeping in mind I do enjoy running and swimming... Love the weight training but as mentioned I have probs trying to...

Congratulations to Aussie Mick!

Champions Body for LIFE

feeds@yuku.com (Kek) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:18:50 GMT

I spotted the new book in Angus & Robertson today and had to buy it....I don't know that it's better than the original, but it definitely has lots of inspirational stories, more weight training exercises to choose from, a few recipes, some new quotes - and it's nice to see a few friends featured....

You can't out-train a bad diet

feeds@yuku.com (Kek) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:36:10 GMT

This is a saying that I know to be true. There have been times in my life when I've been training my guts out, yet not seeing results in terms of body composition. And I've sat down and really looked at the nutrition side of things, guess what? My nutrition was always less than ideal. Doesn't matter what your goals are - fat loss, muscle gain, maintenance, sports performance, whatever... you can't eat a whole bunch of crap, then hit the gym hard and expect great...

Fat loss and the "whoosh" effect

feeds@yuku.com (Kek) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 19:54:00 GMT

This is a phenomenon that is often seen, but not really understood. It's something my coach calls getting a visit from the whoosh fairy. You know when you've been busting your butt for ages, only to be stuck on a weight loss plateau...or worse yet, you even see the scales creep up a little. Then you get all peeved, go out and eat pizza and ice cream, because *cue whiney voice* you may as well, this isn't working anyway. And you wake up the next day to find that...

Don't underestimate the value of support

feeds@yuku.com (Kek) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 19:46:21 GMT

I wrote this in my journal thread, but I thought it was important, so I'm posting it here too....pay heed, members and lurkers alike!

It's important to surround yourself with a support network when you're doing a challenge, prepping for a bodybuilding comp or doing anything else that requires strict adherence to a nutrition and training program. You may be strong, you may want it badly, but doing it all alone is really tough at times. I'm lucky in that I...

Copping flak for your fitness and weight-loss efforts? Read on....

feeds@yuku.com (Kek) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:07:33 GMT

This is an article I wrote a while back, after I'd answered a lot of similar questions about how to deal with negative comments about weight loss or your "obsession" with going to the gym. I'm sure some of you can relate:

Have you changed your lifestyle from one of sloth and gluttony to one of exercise and healthy eating and lost a lot of weight in the process? Built some muscle, dropped several dress sizes? I'll bet you're...

Positive thinking

feeds@yuku.com (Kek) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:00:39 GMT

I promised to post something for Egg on positive thinking......this isn't exactly what I was looking for amongst my articles, as it relates specifically to falling off the good nutrition wagon. I was looking for something more general on using positive thinking to help reach your goals, but it's still along the same lines, so here you go:
