Bill Phillip's | Transformation

I have been making excuses far too long. It is now time to just get in there and do it. Thank you for the inspiration and support.

Bill, this message is inspiring. I feel your intention to ibe the catalyst for something greater than yourself. I am excited to start and I'm glad to have this community for support. thank you, Karen

Bill we miss you...Time has come and gone and swept away the dreams we once had. I look back at the work you did and all the lives you changed with a simple idea. This is fair from the place we wanted to go then. Who changed you, them or you? Money Fame Power Dan Tumors, all gone and only their shadows remand. EVERYONE liked you best when you had the noose rapped around your neck. Life can put any man in check and raise the hair on all our necks…But nothing lasts if we forget our pasts. Well thank you for the shadows because without them I wouldn’t be the same man I am today. I miss you bud may the road before you be filled with love, Gonzo G.

Thank you for this opportunity and all of the inspiration. I am starting out tomorrow. I have been excited all day thinking of the possibilities. I plan to enjoy the path each step and plan ways to inspire others, to pay this forward

It's been a while since I've read this welcome letter and I find the sincere truth of what I've experienced about Bill's vision to be nothing short of amazing ... "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 have just started the challenge, for me to become and stay healthy. I am learning how to navigate this site, I'm a slow learner. For example, I see many people post their challenges. I haven't learned how to do that yet, but I have the old fashion notebook and pen. It's a start. The challenges are very revealing and am looking forward to completing all of them and eventually get them posted Loir

Thank you Bill for sharing your vision with the world. I agree, it is a huge undertaking. With babysteps by each and everyone of us we will suceed. I am in week two and finding myself already starting to transform my thought process. I am in it for the long haul.Thank you for the inspiration.

Hello Bill, and everyone i just signed up today, and i look forward to my knew journey, and i want to share in each and everyone of yours also, thanks a bunch for this site.

Aloha Bill! Just finished reading Body For Life,and I am excited about my decision to join the transformation community. Like most health care providers, I have focused on my patients and let my health and activity level take the "back seat". What I had failed to realize was; not only is this decision affecting my health, I have passed my unhealthy habits on to my children! We each have our own individual reasons for making the commitment to transform. For myself...it is to embrace and exemplify healthy lifestyle awareness. I want to be able to encourage my patients to reduce their medication load and make the choices that will enable them to live a longer and richer life. To do so I need to make these choices for myself. * I am making the decision to lead by example so that I can honestly say "do as I have done...rather than do as I say". Thank you for your efforts to transform America. I promise to join you in this quest.

This is Week 1, Day 1. I am ready for this incredible journey! Thank you Bill for being who you are. I wish everyone a great journey and a lot of fun reaching your destination!

I just signed on and have excepted the challenge! I am excited and feeling very optimistic.

I love the text messages to my phone, they really keep me on track. Thank you, Bill for the kind words they work Fitatfifty2

Week #3: Identifying low level habits, coming clean, being honest with ourselves and confession to others, is truely good for the soul( mind , will & emotions). I last week I cleaned out my cabinets and refrigerator, this week my mind,spirit and soul. WOW that transforming!!!! Fitatfifty2

Mr. Phillips, I would like to thank you for bringing your methods to the forefront & sharing them with the public. Had you not done that, my friend, Scott Gist (gistsc), may not have found you. Without you, he wouldn't be able to help me. I'm dealing with some medical issues that are making it hard to control my weight. But I feel so empowered & more positive since talking with Scott & joining the Transformation website, that I feel for the first time, I will be able to see long lasting results! Sincerely, Elizabeth D. Smith (Keanna424)

Ok, here we go, let's do this thing!

I read Body-for-LIFE. I signed-up today. I am excited to start the Challenge.

Hi there Bill - me again... If there is any possible way that I can make a difference (besides bearing the fruit), to help other South Africans (not only), please let me know. I am certain that we will talk in the very near future. Thank you for making such a huge difference in peoples lives - and mine. Best wishes for a phenominal 2010! Amanda

Signed up today with sister and a friend. Hope for all of us with you.

Yes.. lets begin I can't wait..

Let us begin!

Alright, I'm in. Thanks Bill

I am excited to start the Challenge! I have needed something to help me get motivated, and give me the support that I need to get going the right direction. I am positive that this will be my year! Health and wellness will be mine. Thank you for the oppertunity that you have given me to succeed.

Thank you Devine Providence...everything is showing up on time!

What a Beautiful Community Bill~ What a Mission! I just LOVE YOU! Shari

Thanks for the very kind words Bill!! I hope to be an inspiration to others in 2010 as soooo many have been for me thus far!! None of this would be possible without your knowledge and guidance. So, thanks for everything!! Your friend, Brentt

Merry Christmas to all and a Wonderful New Year full of Joy and Love for your self! May God Bless All of You Always! Thank You! for all the Love and support! 2010 is going to move mountains! Remember give a true compiment to some one each day. It wiill make you feel good and it does not cost a penny. Listen to the song " One day at a time"

Bill, Thanks for creating an outlet where people can reach out to others and get the inspiration they need to succeed!! Thank you for being an inspiration.

Being part of a bigger goal is important. Feeling like even one person can make a difference.

Bill, I just took my photo and had to ask when the baby is due. I'm going to need the support of this community in such a big way! Take very good care. David

Whoohoo! I just signed up and I'm on my way. I've been out of the loop of healthy living and exercise for so long, I didn't think I could jump back into it. Here I am though! I'm on it! I'm in it! and ready to Bring it, everyday!

Wow! I just joined and also just joined a gym I haven't been in a program for years and want to start living again, and becoming healthy. Thanks Bill, God Bless and Keep you!

Hey, there, Bill. I really hope this is not a bother. I am sure you are bombarded with email. I had a question I am hoping to find an answer to. Will there be an official challenge this fall? I am really excited to participate in a challenge. I have been aware of t.com since Jan., but I have been in a pregnancy, so needed to wait for a full challenge. I have in this last trimester (I am due in two weeks) been very active in the exercise, nutrition, and learning aspects, but hope to engage in a transformation challenge soon with the community. Final thought. I want to thank you for your amazing example and insight. Anything I read from you or hear on your show is so inspiring. I love to hear you because not only do you share such sweet, wonderful insights, but you exemplify a deep compassion for others that really rings as special to me. It is an element of godliness innate in each of His offspring that you have magnified and I admire and am in tune with it. I love your heart! Thanks for your generous social giving and inspiring example. Clarissa, Stoney, and Chris, among others are such sterling sidekicks as well. Love to all. In much love and respect, Eme

Bill, I can only imagine what it must have felt like to write your first blog for this community. You have created such a wonderful place for people to gather from across America and internationally in suppoert of a common goal. There is SO much inspiration here (among the indiviidual trials and tribulations). Together we are stronger as we help to lift eachother up. I am one of the zig-zaggers along the way. I've had difficulty staying focussed, so I will adapt my approach. My next small goal is to read all of your blogs and open myself to learn more.......Thanks for putting so much time and effort into sharing your knowledge with us. :) smiles- Heather

Bill, I love this site... I've tried a lot of programs and been on a lot of support sites for weight loss and healthy living and this is the real deal - the total package. You're brilliant! Thanks a million...

Bill, what can I say but thank you again! I really enjoyed being on the show last night, I actually couldn't believe that I got through. It especially touched my heart that we could discuss the epidemic of childhood obesity in America. I was at the beginning of this epidemic, and I want to help put an end to it. We all need to help sow the seeds of a healthier generation to come. As you pointed out, they will have their own problems to solve; they don't need to inherit our problems. Much love and peace to you. Your friend in Transformation. > Jim

I have accepted the challenge for change and my transformation began 1 week ago. I have more energy than every and I already feeling more alive. Thank you for motivating me to make the change! Namaste

Hey Bill! I'm accepting your challenge and invitation to 'be the change'. I look forward to going through this journey with you and the transformation community! Bob

I am thankful for all you do, we really need this. Thanks a million!

I am so happy I re-read this blog and I will continue to read your writings Bill. They always bring light into my soul....Thanks!!!

I just read the wolf analogy and agree. Feeding the right wolf is so important. I try to dig into the Word of God daily to feed my soul the right kind of soul food. It starts my day out with the Source of all wisdom, health, & prosperity. How quickly I can forget and get puffed up with pride and arrogance, feeding the wrong wolf.

Bill...I'm privileged to be a part of your "God-given" program. The old saying "you get what you pay for" is not true. your giving is like God's giving.....unconditional! Thanks SO MUCH. This is so awesome. I don't suppose you have time to keep up with all the blogs, but if you've checked mine, you know how excited I am about having kept up faithfully with my workouts. That is unbelieveable in my life. I'M HALFWAY TO THE 18 MONTHS...and I am still excited and grateful for what God is doing for me. Not just what you see, but my CORE strength and joy continue to build. I do have to say that I still haven't got balanced in the food part, partly because I am not overweight (today I weigh 115 on the gym scales.) I am working on balancing out protein and carbs and eating vegies (I have a food problem that inhibits fruits (MOAN) it messes my blood sugar up. I am constantly remembering to let my shoulders relax (used to wear them on my ears like earrings!) also constantly bringing myself up straight (er) from living 74 years slumped/humped over, and try to remember to bring my shoulders back into God's position. I'm hoping some day to meet you and the group, perhaps my sister, Johnnie Lorren and hubby, Bob will stick me in one of their suitcases and let me hop a ride to one of your big cellebrations! :-) Sincerely, Jodi (Joleneo)

That is definitely one of the best "Words" I've heard in a long time. Especially pertaining to fitness and health. I posted on another blog the other day that for my current "challenge" my only goals are to make eating clean a priority and reach for 6 meals per day, get to the gym daily as part of a balanced daily plan and let the transformation occur naturally, as it will. Spot on Bill!

Go Bill! Your heart shines through. We love you. Thanks, Susie

This post is an inspiration to read after being here and transforming awhile!! Love MaryPat

Thanks Bill: Almost ready for Round 2 Kristy (Strong4life)

Hi Bill, I was reading a blog and this post popped up! Since I believe there are no accidents, I'm posting here now. This site is beautiful. This process you have created is amazing. Being the change is FUN!!!! Did I say fun? How about REALLY FUN!!! It feels so good to be the change, when being the change means you get to live your good dreams of a fulfilling life. You get to create the best version of you. How cool is that? Feels pretty good to me. Thank you for this opportunity. Every single day, I feel grateful. For myself. For my daughter Emma. For my husband Henry. And the life we are sharing together - with me healthy - because you followed your dream and created this beautiful site..... and in doing so, fulfilled this beautiful vision...Love, Debby

Bill thanks for everything you ahve done for all of us!!! Casey

I have just signed up for the Challenge and plan on completing it. I have seen several of my friends over the years take on the Body For Life and Transformation Challenges, and watched their transformation happen. They never won any of the big prizes but they won their health, they look unbelieveably great and I watched. I quit smoking July 7, 2007 after 25 yrs and that was the hardest thing I ever did, but now I am ready for a new challenge. I have good health but I am over weight and I know that I need to do something now before I turn 50 yo at the end of theis year. I want to enter a new era of health and have a great body for the rest of my life. Like the song say, "I have been to Paradise but I have never been to me!" I start this Monday April 13, 2009 for a life time! This is a new world and who knows where I and all of us will go with these ideas and concepts of Transformation but to change each of our communities and be an example!!! Thanks, Bill!

I am going to follow you step by step, blog by blog, and suggestion by suggestion. Thank you Bill for this evolved action plan. I am one among many and the many will pay me forward.

I thought the challenge ended with the Body of Work? I did not like computers before, but I am in the challenge. I started and finished the Body for Life book two days ago, boy the love poors out! You know what? We LOVE you too! What a great site! I want to gain 20 lbs of muscle and loose 40 of fat and be full life and pay it foward.

I am speechless right now.....but hopeful......I just finished assignment no.1 and I am determined to finish crossing the abyss and then my goal is to burn down the bridge. Thanks to everyone in advance!

Hello Bill, I have been wotking out now for 2 1/2 weeks. I got the Journal last week and it has been a HUGE help! Being able to log my progress daily has given me insight into what I need to do the next time I exercise. I also have been able to quit smoking for 20 days!!! Thanks for the encouragement! Jon

Awesome Radio Shaow last night!

I think your work is awesome and I can't be thankful enough for having found a site so wonderful, so full of nice people that are willing to help you and stand with you. I have found very nice friends that are already helping me out in so many ways. I keep coming because it is addictive in a good way!!!

Thank you Bill! I am not new to the BFL concepts. I purchased the "Body For Life" book in 2001 and have completed 3 challenges since, but sadly I let life happen and I didn't understand the "power mindset" and "Body For Life". My last challenge ended April 2008 and I received my certificate and then I made the mistake of not setting new goals. I've maintaned my weight and I still get 2-3 workouts in each week and eat okay, but I just realized that is not good enough! I am so glad that I looked you up and found Transformation! I am ready to go rise up again. I pre-ordered my book and can't wait to read it. I have decided that February 9th will be my official day for starting the challenge. Thanks again, I think you are Awesome and this site and the community here are awesome.

Bill: I am on Week 2 of this journey. I am just beginning to figure out the way of the assignments. I had posted my pics early on, and kept a note book of the words associated with my thoughts about myself and my before pic. But I just put them in Jpeg form and posted them. Such a humbling experience, as in the shadows of my own notebook at home, I was still able to put up a bravado. Even though my pics were posted.... Noone could see how vunerable I felt as a result of the shape I have let myself come to. I am embracing this journey with all I have and excited to see the changes that will come both inside and out. Thank you for creating such and making it possible for other's such as myself to meet and support one another in perhaps one of the most important things we can do for ourselves! Begin the path to health! Traci

Im getting started in 12 days!I recently broke my ankle,lost my job and now my house is in foreclosure.Rock bottom i'd call it but i'm gonna use the Transformation to dig myself out of this hole.Oh and the 12 days thing is because i got a cast on my leg and can't walk yet but its coming off in 12 days!I 've got other issues to work on too but at least i know i got one person on my side,Bill Phillips! Truly a man among men. God bless!

Thank you Bill for your excitement, zest, your passion for life!!! I am thrilled to have joined this community!

Looking forward to being a part of the change Bill! Bob

Bill, first of all thank you for your contribution and dedication to fitness! Body for Life changed my life. you principals are on the money. I look forward to taking the next challenge with you. Is the transformation book the same as Body for LIfe? If there is alot of new things in there I will get it! Thanks again Wayne

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I have won at this before, but ended up losing in the end. I did everything right except one thing. I did not surround myself with other winners. You are what you eat and the friends that you keep.

I'm ready to do it! I spent my first hour working out and eating good this 1st day. I've even made a list of a bunch of musicians I know who eat at crazy hours and have workout routines. I'm sending them info on Transformation.

Over the past six years I have made many changes, including stopping smoking, losing 40 lb. and getting more consistent with exercise and eating well. I have hit a plateau in weight loss. I started the transformation after the deadline in August, and took the photos and started, but have still struggled and circled around the correct weight. I was following the WW eating plan and will now switch over to Eating for Life. The key for me is the eating and staying away from late night snacking and making sure I eat enough at the right times to avoid the hunger munchies. I look forward to participating more on line and turning that final corner to lose the final 20 or so pounds that will allow the beautiful muscles I have developed to show and to keep the commitment I have made to myself to take good care of myself.

You keep rising to the occasion Bill and providing new and exciting challenges for the rest of us! Hats off to you. This is the inspiration people need and the personal touch we want from you! Thanks for being there for all of us....for me, this month, December 8th was our 8 year anniversary since we first met at Borders Bookstore in Northridge, CA where I also met Porter Freeman, your brother, and your sweet heart of a lady, special MOM for the first time. This is a special year for me Bill. It is one with recovery and healing on the horizon and new beginnings well under way. I look forward to seeing you in 2009! Good Luck recognizing me this time! : )

Thanks for providing the foundation for the transformation community.

Hi Bill, and everyone else in this great community. I am really new to all of this, so I am going a step at a time, hopeful ,but a bit anxious. I really want to do this challenge, not just for myself, but I am hoping my commitment will help, indirectly, save my daughters life. It has been a long time since I have felt encouraged, but as I have said I am hopeful. I feel that signing up for this challenge is a good place to start,

Bill, As always thanks for the sight and the new challenge of 2009. I have followed the BFL principles for several years and am looking forward to a chance to get into the best shape of my life. This will be fun! May all your hopes and dreams come true. Craig

Thanks for the opportunity to take part in Be the change challenge along with this new and exciting community.I am looking forward to this journey. God Bless you.....Ken

I'm in the 18 week challenge I just fininshed the 12 week challenge and can hardly wait to be part of this. I love the people here, they are loving, supportive, and just plain nice! Mona

Thanks,Bill,for giving me the opportunity to show myself what I'm made of! I have accepted your Challenge and look forward to achieving amazing things in 2009!

Aloha Bill~ This is the biggest commitment I've made in my life, to myself. Like so many others, I'm tired of feeling like I don't deserve to be happy. I now realize that happiness is a choice! I've had so much hardship in my life and I've had to deal with depression and anxiety. I've also had to accept my loss of my right eye in 1989(car accident). My body, mind and spirit has suffered but most of all my soul. I am ready for a rekindling of spirit and look forward to being happy with who I am. I am a sinlge mother of 2 teenagers. My daughter graduates this year from high school and will be leaving me soon to join the military and my son is 16 and a great athlete. I want to have the energy and the focus to support them as a living example of success. They deserve it and so do I! Thank you for openning my eyes and giving me the courage to search within myself. For me, it's not only about the weight, it's about me. I am grateful for the support I will receive and can't wait to cheer on those who've decided to make the transformation.

I am SO EXCITED... I had my thyroid removed a few months ago and feel like I just can't move forward. After seeing you on TV I told myself this is what I need. I am so excited and anxious to get started and hope to make many new friends on line to talk to and support each other!!

Bill ~ Thank you for your words of wisdom and motivation. I truly believe changing our mindset is the key to any success. You have given us the tools and once again a challenge to be the best people we can be. I'm not going to say that walking into the gym every morning is something easy but when I decided it was going to be a part of my daily life, I really look forward to it. I look forward to saying hello to that person in the gym that seems to be all alone and struggling. I remember when I was just starting out and felt totally out of place in the gym. Someone took the time to say hello to me and it changed my world. I'm passing that along to others now and it makes me feel great when I see them smile just because someone took the time to say "Hello and how are you today !!" Bill you do that to us every time you post a new blog. You are that person saying "HELLO and how are you!" I'm looking forward the all the successes 2009 holds for all of us !! Keep Reaching ! Cat

Bill, My first transformation attempt was in 1997(8)? ... the second annual EAS Body-For-Life challenge. At the time I was inspired by you and your previous years champions. The goal then was to lose the bit of "chubbiness" that college had added. I did pretty well at the time for the first 4 weeks, but as a youngin, and was side tracked by work and a changing lifestyle. Well .. I'm back. This time my goal has a slightly higher purpose, ... get healthy for my wife, 3 year old daughter, and family -- the years of weight have escalated and I now have diabetes (2) as a result. Its not horrific, but its a disease that I can eliminate by gaining back my health. Anyhoot ... thanks for all your years of inspiration, I look forward to the chance of gaining control of my health once again. "If at first you don't succeed .. try .. try .. again!" :) Thanks Bill. -Todd

bill thank you for opening your self up to the butifull gift that god has created you to be you have helped so many people just by simply leting god work thought you . and i am on my way to becomeing a grate servise also thank you

Bill, I look at you as one of God's great helpers in this world. You and your program were there for me 10 years ago. And as I've slowly drifted into obesity the last 5 years, I just arrived at a point where I needed a nudge. There was your email and this time I didn't ignore it. You see, in a way, as a former runner up back in 1998, I've been ashamed that I let myself drift away. I didn't want to admit that I needed to take an honest assessment of myself. And for sure I didn't want to have to admit to you that I'd slipped off into the lard pit. Well, no more denial. I'm a year and a half away from age 50 and I want to regroup and get on track once again. Thanks Bill! You are the kind of leader this world needs. Jeff Maki

Bill, I am here for the challenge...to prepare myself for my ordination this Spring as a NEW THOUGHT Minister...transforming is what I am committing my life to ...and today I'm starting with me. Bless you, Bill for visioning this community and all the possibilities it creates...Bravo! You inspire me!

Yes, JeffMaki, I've been here before, too. I went from a size 14 to a size 4 in Challenge 2001. The body is back to where it was before, but this time, I'm taking the rest of me on this transformation. I've been working on my mind and spirit for the last couple of years and believe the body is ready to join me. I'm a bit older and a little less healthy , but a whole lot smarter. I dug out the picture of me and Porter Freeman and put it where I can see it everyday. I'm ready to go for it! Thanks Bill for another chance

Bill I feel like there is hope for me. Thank you for being such an inspiration...

Wow, Here I am a decade later and I can feel the incredible energy and light already! I took my first step tonight at dinner and refused to stuff myself. Going to get back on 6 meals a day like I should be. Just watched an incredible video of Clarissa and also really appreciated her immediate warm welcome. I send my energy, love, and good will out to all of you. I've been here before and did well over a decade ago so I know this works. I've just got to pull my hind end back out of the food ditch and get celebrating the journey of good health.

I just want to say Thanks to Bill and Hello to anyone who is new on the site! If there is anything I can do to help you along my door is open and I am just a click away................................DUDE

I am so happy to be apart of challenge,Thank you Positivity and Forward motion

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.

I am excited that I met the new deadline. I need to do this.....NOW!

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!

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!

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.

Just went out and bought my notebook - plan to take photo tonight - working up the courage! Thank you Bill, for helping all of us!

Thanks Bill. I have known of this site for some time but have not ventured overdue to time on youtube and bodyforlifestyles.com. I plan on reading all your blogs to catch up! I look forward to reading!

Hi - when does the next transformation start? I would love to join the community. Barb

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!

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

Well.. hello Mr Phillips.. its an absolute Honour to be here, and to be able to be a part of something special and unique... UNIQUE, because its all you... and thru you... you have ALL OF US.. who would've thought, all those years ago, that YOU MR PHILLIPS could have such an impact on the world, and a direct hand in changing so many lives for the better Thank you so much... for the incredible gift you have given me... xx Debbie Rossi Australia xx

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!

I am so happy to be here I feel blessed ,my life and my kids life changed thanks to you Bill. God bless you,.

Thanks Bill! I stumbled here today and believing that there are no mistakes I am eager to start Transforming. God bless!

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

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

I feel like a kid in a candy shop; this is awesome. This website is dynamite!! I am so excited to be a part of it- as I am exited to transform myself.

I have decided I should just quit my day job because I will be too busy here and at tracker! Seriously anything to do with BFL and Bill I'm like a junkie, I just can't get enough! I am excited to be a part of this new community.

Thank you for creating this incredible website!! I love this new Transformation community!! It's so inspiring and welcoming here.

You're such an inspiration to me. This is so exciting! :D

I too feel blessed to be a part of something that is good for the body and the mind, I just don't want to be some statistic fading in the wind. I here for the long haul. Thanks Jerome

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

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.

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.

Thank you for the invitation to a wonderful community.

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!!

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

Greetings from Vancouver Bill! Congratulations on this new endeavour. So much to take in! I look forward to learning and sharing with fellow Transformers. Isn't life awesome? All the best with it, and a heartfelt thank you for creating this opportunity for all of us. Jan (from the old site)

I really am lost in my life right now! And pray this program and all of these amazing people help me find ME!!!

You are a model for re-invention! Thank you for this community Bill.

Thank you so much for starting this site. I am in the middle of a BFL challenge but I am looking forward to being involved in your challenges here!

Bill this place is so inspiring fun and informational. I am so grateful to be part of your work and am amazed everyday and excited to see what you are up to next. Keep it up Bill we all enjoy it! Look out world Transformation is coming upon us!!!! The only way I know how to give back to you for what you have done is to support this great site and challenge all to join in! Marty

I am thrilled with the new site! It's fabulous! Thank you, thank you!

Glad to see something different yet based on the BFL principles that I have followed for so long. Looking forward to becoming more involved on this site. Wish you could come to the KS Living Legends weekend! I am looking forward to the next challenge. Thank you for everything!

This will be great! I really have loved reading the motivational blurbs on every page of my Success Journal. I look forward to you putting more things in perspective. You truly have a gift for motivating people to be their best. Thank you.

I so happy to see that you put this site together. I wish I had seen it earlier. Thanks for all that you do for everyone...it's uplifting and I am sure it give you the FUEL you need for each day helping others. MUAH

Wow - what a great site Bill. Thank you again for the Transformation Challenge. I have met so many great people who have inspired me and challenged me through your website. I look forward to continuing my Transformation journey! THANKS! Jill

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

Yes! Look out world, the new community has begun! Thanks Bill.
