MzBriggs, You have inspired me to bring my BFL book on my ski trip. I need to read it again too.

So how is everybody doing on their profiles?

If you are new and doing yours or have already done yours let me know so I can get to know you a bit!
All the best

DUDE

I'm going to add a bit to one thing Dude mentioned. Start a blog, but take that a step further. Make a point to talk to people and offer help and support. You may think that you have nothing to offer others because you are just starting. That's not true. Your words and thoughts contain information and insight unique to you. That uniqueness is going to hit another person just right. They will relate to what you say, find an answer they need, and take their next step.

So make a point to reach out and offer help. Even if it's just kind words to start with. You will be amazed at how fast you start to grow when you are helping others find their way.

And Dude, you are looking AWESOME my man.

Duuuuuuuude, ni----------------ice.
Great thread. Thanks!

YOU ROCK DUDE!! Sorry I hadn't seen this thread but still YOU DA MAN!!

I just have one question right now. How do I get a photo up loaded? I tried but for some reason it didn't take

Are you trying to upload a general picture or your avatar pic?

go ahead and email me I ll walk you through it

Dude this is AWESOME!! Great post. This will help a lot of people. Clara what you added is so true. Everyday I find new member stories that inspire me. Great job guys!!

GREAT GREAT GREAT post and advice... I was starting to panic, not knowing what to do... just like you said, but your post calmed me down a bit. I'm starting my first Transformation Challenge on Jan 5th and am using this time to READ, read and more reading on this site. I snooped through your profile and watched your videos - of course, I can't get through anyone's videos without getting emotional, probably because all of you who have 'transformed' already, even to some degree, all started where I am right now.

I am contemplating that first exercise with the pictures and I do think it will be a while before I post them but as difficult as it will be to strip down and get in front of a camera (YUCK), I guess I'll be doing it. I do see it as the most important part of this journey. But I'm not looking forward to seeing it!

Again, loved this post... .will probably read a few more times before Jan 5th, 2009.

Janice ~ You are among humble company here as most of us have that ooey gooey before picture. We know it's difficult, yet so necessary to get a full view of where we really are. Mirrors and pictures depict different images for some reason! Once you leap that hurdle I bet you'll find the anxiety building up to it was much more of a struggle than it needed to be. We're all here for you!!!!

Thank you so much for this post!! I appreciate it and I appreciate the support from you all here. I do feel it and I am so going to enjoy getting to know everyone here.

Peace!

Dude great post! There are so many amazing results on this site and it continues to expand everyday. Anyone can find a mentor(s) and receive the support they need to achieve greatness here at T.

Can someone help me find the T1 T2 T3 exercises? I can 't find them on the site.....I know they are here somewhere....

Elizabeth...if you go to Bill's blog, and look under 2009 Challenge Rules and Regulations you will find thunbnail links to the assignments!

Janice...Sharen is so right...That pic will be a hurdle and step in itself!!! It feels uncomfortable, but just think about how much more comfortable you are going to get in your beautiful skin in the upcoming weeks!!! Comparing photos...even if you decide not to put them online...will be a valuable tool for you!

Dude! Thank you for the post! You totally ROCK!

Wow, that was terrific information, I'm so looking forward to getting to know everyone and share the journey.

Great advice to share Dude! Your transformation progress is substantial! I really enjoy reading your motivational tips! Keep on directing from your heart! :-)

Thank you Dude. This is a great post. I will do as you suggest and tackle one assignment at a time. I am so grateful that I found your post for guidance because I have been feeling a little overwhelmed. Congratulations on your successful transformation! Lisa

I'm getting there Dude, Ijudt have to post my pic and up-date my goals. I have been adding a lot since I havebeen reflecting on what this challenge is really about. I have even started to blog my daily thoughts with food and ecercise on another

Thanks Dude,

This post has helped me to get my thinking back in line. I'm trying to make some changes now so that when the Challenge starts I won"t have the stebacks that I just went through!

And thanks to everyone out here who spreads the motivation!

Thank you Dude. Every time I get on this site I learn something new. I really appreciate all of you guys taking the time out to talk to the new members and those doing Transformation 2009.

Very wise advice. Thanks again.
