Bill's post

Welcome!

Dear Friend,

Welcome to the Transformation Community!

Making healthy changes in our lives so we can make a difference in the lives of others, is what it's all about.  And here on this site, you’ll meet people who are living that message each and every day.  We come from all over the world to gather here at transfomation.com, to help support and encourage each other, to help one another stay inspired and motivated so we can overcome the challenges we face in order to become healthy, happy and more alive.

I believe we are at a turning point in America today.  More people are suffering right now, at this very moment, of painful and preventable poor health, than at any other time in our nation's history. To me, that is simply not okay. It's far from okay actually. We have to take major action to create a national health transformation. We must draw a line in the sand, right here, right now. The mass depression, illness, and suffering can stop here. And the healing, renewal, and the re-inspiring can begin. We can help transform the nation! Yet we can get there from here, only one way: we must BE THE CHANGE. We must be the examples (like our 2008 Champions Marty, Sharen, Joe, Valerie, and Denise). And from there, we must move the message forward by each sharing our example with others.

NOW is the time, this is the place, we are the ones. I'm asking for your help. And in return, offering mine. We can do this folks. And it may be the most important thing we ever commit ourselves to.  I want to help share inspiration and hope, help more people become aware of their true potential, and help them discover that extraordinary and exciting transformation is possible for them too! I firmly believe that no matter how tough times get, we all have the ability and power to change--we have the ability and power to overcome even the most devastating setbacks in our lives and come out stronger, healthier, wiser, and more compassionate.

And so here at transformation.com, we focus on sustainable, healthy ways to make exercise and eating right a part of our way of life.  We also focus on transforming our mindset – bringing healthy thoughts, perceptions, and attitudes.  And also we do the courageous soul searching in order to connect with our individual and collective purpose for being a part of the transformation.

Please don't underestimate your role in this mission. Your care counts. Together we can make the healthy transformation of this nation a reality in our lifetime. (And preferably within 10 years!) I know this great transformation is possible, even probable, if we each do our part.

Everything here at transformation.com is offered FREE, with no strings attached.  My hope and prayer is that you’ll join us in this transformation mission.  By simply accepting this invitation to become a part of the community by signing up now and filling out your own profile, you’ll be taking a big step in the right direction.  From there, please enjoy the articles, blogs, and videos on the site.  And, participate in our forums where you can begin learning about how to create you own health transformation.  When you sign up, I'll be sending you information about our “Be The Change Challenge” which gets started on January 1, 2009.

Thank you very much for visiting the transformation community and I look forward to helping you make healthy changes in your life so you can help make a healthy difference in the lives of others.

Very Sincerely,

Bill Phillips

P.S.  Resources that will help you as you move forward include the #1 NY Times bestseller Body-for-LIFE, the nutrition guide Eating for Life, and my new book Transformation (available in book stores in January '09).  Also, be sure to check out our free articles archive here at the site and review my blogs from the past few months to learn even more! 

P.P.S.  Remember you can get started creating your own transformation by signing up here now!

I haven't figured everything out yet. I'm just excited to be here. My palms are all sweaty because I'm sooo not with it when it comes to the computer. I have a lot to catch up with. I'm not always a procrastinator. It's just so new of a format for me. Assignment #1 seems pretty scarey though. Can I take a digital photo and then get a hard copy made from that? Do I need to put those pictures on my blog or where? I'm doing it through trail and error so far. This is hard but thanks Bill for the challenge. I look forward to the next best 18 weeks.

Hey Bill - I am really excited about this. I need something like this in my life. Hoping to make a difference Thank you!!

Bill, I saw you at the Success Symposium. The entire event has changed my life. However, wh in you spoke it brought an urgency to my commitment to transform myself to be a better ME! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Rhysa2008 wrote 125 Days Ago

Dear Bill, I have been following you since the early 90's and I hang on every single word. One of my favorite readings was your Supplement Guide for body builders from the early days. How comprehensive and down to earth. I would laugh out loud at your honesty and realistic presentation. When I read your words I feel like you are talking to me. Of course - I have failed to take a very important step - one that you have reminded me of repeatedly - that is utilizing the knowledge you have given me. I just read and fantasize. But I have never read and DONE! Knowing what to do as opposed to actually doing it are two different things. I have vision in my head - so clearly - of what I want to be. I am going to take this 18 week challenge with you. I have come to trust and respect you. I have faith that if I follow your fitness teachings I will be the best I can be. You have allowed me to keep HOPE. Here I go!

Tim wrote 126 Days Ago

I agree 100%. Your books are A-1. I think this is an awesome idea. I just want to praise you for your ability to inspire and to challenge people in the world. Even if some of them don't like what you're saying. I'm looking fore-ward to being a part of this community and will be looking at the sight a lot. Thanks Bill and good luck in your continuing adventures. Well to another great day in paradise. Amen, and God Bless everyone in this great world.

Hey Bill and the tranformation community, I am in my third week of the BFL challenge, and I feel great! I've really learned the importance of setting goals and planning my meals and workouts. I'm looking forward to setting new goals and challenges after my first 12 weeks is up. Thank you for changing my life!

Kennie wrote 183 Days Ago

I'm learning this computer lliteracy. It took 2 weeks to get logged in, but I'm in. Thanks for all you've done. You are a great inspiration. I've shared your story with all my students in my classes. They are helping me stay focused. I've also shared with them your energy from the Pirranah conference. I want to post a picture of you signing my books but can't find it on the 'search for heroes' address. I've also just had the first meeting with teachers at my school to get them to join the BFL team in Sept. I have a few pics to show, but it's the end of the year and I haven't figured out how to upload them. My daughter and I are beginning our 6th month, we started just before the 1st challenge and love the great feeling of being healthy.

Bill ~ This Community website was actually the final motivator I needed...lit that fire under me, if you will. Although you'd think one look in the mirror at the extra bulge would do the trick...that automatically those bad eating habits would revert back to sensible, right? But doing it simply because it's good for me and it will...oh...lengthen my life...just doesn't seem to be enough reason. The website was terrific...I ordered your books (also easy reading) and I planned my 12-week challenge to start tomorrow, the 23rd! Thank you for this! It's been a long time coming...and I can't wait to get the word out in my own area! Respectfully, Norean

Just call us the TRANSFORMERS!!! LOL Dont think of this as just diet and exercise. God gave us these bodies. We will only get one chance and that is why we are following Body for Life. One life, one body. Thank you Bill Phillips for caring about each and every one of us enough to write your book. You are a blessing to us all!

Thanks Bill, This site is great! Just learning to move around in it.

Kathy wrote 193 Days Ago

This a wonderful website and Thank you Bill, for the invite. I have been trying to live the BFL way since 1999, and I too have let life get in the way. 2 years ago, my DH was very ill and I used my challenges as a way of excaping for short periods every day. My workouts kept me going and when my DH had his Lung Transplant, you were there to help me through that too. I look forward to this Transformation. Thank you, Kathy

Hey Bill - Thanks for bringing us all closer together and helping us remember that we're all one.

Carol wrote 195 Days Ago

Hey Bill. Thank you once again for being such a big part of my life. Look at you...MetRx, then on to bigger and better things. EAS, then move on again. I never would have thought you could improve on the work that you've done. But, you certainly practice what you preach. Apparently goal setting and improvement are qualities that are deep within your core. I've never met you, but I love you. You have had such a MAJOR impact on my life. I'm really grateful to be a part of your new community. Onward and upward, following your bright light.

Lizstevensart wrote 195 Days Ago

Bill, I've been attempting this challenge on and off since 2001 and always life got in the way. I'm hoping that with your help, and this community I'll be successful this time. I really am hoping to make a true transformation. When I read today that you were in Sellersburg--that's only about 20 miles from where I live--I could hardly believe my eyes! I hope someday you'll be coming to visit me! Thanks for all you do to help empower people to change their lives.

Bill I am so happy to see this forum that you have put together for us. I just finished my first challenge and it really was lifechanging. Your work in the fitness industry has often been copied but never duplicated!!! Thanks Bill for helping me to live the life I was born to live!!

Mark wrote 196 Days Ago

I have never done a BFL challenge but have watched for a long time, many others do so. I am a 51 year old Pear Shaped restaurantaur, loving husband and fabulous father. This is the site for me! Can anyone tell me about this new Transformation Challenge? I feel I am being called to it. Thank you all for being there. Mark

sunlightandshadows wrote 202 Days Ago

Staying motivated is a challenge in itself at times! I have found that by having a feeling I want to breate in to every cell in my body helps. It becomes an infusion of energy, when my life batteries are feeling drained. It gives me a surge at just the righ moment. Another thing that helps is just knowing there are others out there who are willing to cheer you on and give you a 'push' when your legs feel weak or your mind is pushing in the other direction. The words of those who want to see you succeed are such a powerful tool. Thank you Namaste Jaki

Blue wrote 202 Days Ago
