A photo from today (in the white shirt) compared to a photo (green shirt) from the first day I was able to get out of a wheelchair about 3 months ago. I am having a lot of fun doing the work of re-building my body! Very grateful for every step and every rep!! (These are just random photos for a quick comparison... I will post more traditional before and afters at the end of the month.)
You look great in both photos, Bill! Just joined your community (remember me from the late 1990's when I developed the customer relationship program for your old company?). Cheers!
You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing all of your success with us through your books, website, text messages and most of all this community. Its been amazing and I look forward to doing an 18 week challenge myself starting in 2012. Thank you.
Bill,
Great shots! These are very motivating, especially considering you've just stepped out of the wheelchair a few months ago. I can hardly wait to see the end of December photos!
Merry Christmas to you and your family circle.
Wow, Bill - you look fantastic! It is SO good to see you up and around. Gives me courage to walk through some heavy knee stuff of my own....and by the way, congrats! Johnnie

WOW You inspire me a lot!
Bravo pour la belle transformation. Vous avez mis de la joie et du coeur dans ce que vous avez fait! et que c'est fantastique de voir le bohneur se reflète dans toute votre personnalité. xxx
Not too bad for a guy in mid-40s Bill !! True way to lead people is always from the FRONT !! Thanks for the inspiring post and Congrats on your progress !
Hey Bill, You looked great before and you look even better now. How am I suppose to reach my goal of looking like you when you just keep getting in better shape? I can't wait untill the new Transformation Center opens. Keep up the great work! Happy holidays.
Just what I needed to see for motivation. I just inherited 2 herniated discs in my lower back & am really bumming about it. Thank you for showing me , by example, that a anything is possible. I'm moving forward w/ great expectation to outcome. Thanks Bill. Did I mention how amazing you look??? WOWIE!!!! Sherri
Nothing like leading by example, Bill. Your recovery has been nothing but remarkable. Looks like the arms got all the rehab attention the legs could not support. Eager to see the traditional before & after pics. I will be getting tendons reattached to my rotator cuff next week. Now if only I could have built a Transformation Center while in recovery! You're amazing!
Yowza Bill! You look so happy, healthy and strong. Your guns are RIDICULOUSLY amazing! Congratulations! So inspiring in attitude as always. Especially liked "being grateful for every step and every rep" Congratulations to you and Clarissa. You both rock all of our worlds. Much appreciation and love to both of you!
You are doing the work right along with us which we all LOVE! Great work Bill! You said you would be kicking a field goal by the end of this year as a goal. No matter what, you have achieved far greater than ANY doctor told you was possible. That was my favorite gift to me... proving them all wrong with my back. Love to see you full of life, energy and love! ~Mary
Awesome Bill, Looking forward to 2012 and seeing your new facility up and running. I have already started the 2-2-1 into my routine and I am feeling results. Thanks Again and Best of Luck.
Your rockin' your own comeback transformation. Amazing results too by the way. I'm thinking your personal injury story and so much more could make one heck of a Body of Work Part II video! :) Love ya Bill! Jonathan
Way to go Bill!
It's been awhile since I've checked in or posted a note.
That said, we both seem to have survived a recent medical challenge:
A) You've gotten out of that wheel chair
B) I've survived a heart attack.
Perhaps we need a special transformation category for the "sick, lame, &/or lazy."
Again well done.
John Lesko
PS: I've lost 16 pounds of fat since my MI and looking to follow many of your BFL/Transformation principles on my road to recovery. Thanks for setting the example.
Looking healthy Bill!!! So glad to see you regaining your physical strength!! By the way, Congrats on all you have accomplished this last month!! WooHoo for you...and without a doubt getting Clarissa to agree to be engaged to you!! hahahahahaha!! Best of everything to you!! Lovin Life-Mick
PS:Had a great conversation with Dr Jeff Life Monday when in Vegas!! I can see myself becoming 72 but haven't figured out how I will ever become 47 again!!!
Great job, Bill. You are looking good, especially that smile. You always have that awesome attitude that is so inspiring. You are right, doing the work can, and should be fun. Glad to see you doing so well and making such great progress.
Bill, I've always admired you for your work in the field of health and fitness; since your accident, I admire you even more - you're a role model for me of how to count blessings instead of problems, to have determination in keeping your eyes on the goal, and to choose a good attitude no matter what. You look happy, focused and fabulous! Christine
Bill, I have admired your attitude and stamina since hearing of your accident.
You look wonderful and continue to amaze me.
On Oct. 18 I had total knee replacement of both knees and NOW I respect you more than these words can express. As much as I now know about how critical PT is to move forward and about pain....what YOU are accomplishing
is mind boggeling. You continue to be my inspiration, both in this and
Life transformation.
You look Ah-maze-ZING!!! So glad you're feeling better. Keep up the great work. You are, as always, an inspiration to us all! Thanks for the share. Can't wait to see the "end result"!! xoxo
Bill, you amaze me yet again!! You are an awesome person, and your spirit and determination inspire us all. Thanks, and I can't wait to show you my own before and after photos!
{{{{{BILL}}}}} throughout the years I've followed you, I've ALWAYS had such great respect for your insight, work, dedication, and heart ... you continually share all that you have with so many in order to lift us up ...
