Way to go getting going right away Nigel! You are going to do great.

Thank you Shane, this helps a lot.

I like this information, this site is wonderful however it is a bit overwhelming when ya get here. I know I will love it here as soon as I get all plugged in. I have many pages of groups to go through to find one that is right for me. May be days!

Hi Jodi. yes I hear you it can be a bit overwhelming but you are in a great place with lots of people willing to help you out. You are doing awesome reaching out....if you need anything you can shoot me an email and I'll answer as soon as I am able to....the best place to start is to get into a group setting, I left a link to the steppers group in Carolynn's challenge thread --- the steppers are a good gang of friends and very helpful. Good luck with any choices.

Hi Shane. Thank you for the info Shane!

SO grateful for this starting guide!!! Thank you! <3 Can't wait for the next challenge seems I just missed it! <3

Estelle. Be sure to get going on your goals now, put a before pic up in your gallery, keep track of your journey all along the way this is a lifetime journey and when the next official challenge begins from Bill you can join right in, your health is top priority. So happy you are getting started on making a difference in your life.

Thia, done, I have before and after pics up, and I'm reaching my goals daily and blogging my journey. Not sure how all of this works but I AM doing great! <3

Hi Shane--Thanks a bunch for posting this guide for those of us who are just starting out and are not too sure where to begin. I just got my copy of the Transformation book yesterday, am in the middle of step 1 (and have just posted my none-too-flattering before photos). I'm doing it!

This is a great guide. Thanks so much for posting

very helpful!

So true brother Shane!

Thanks Shane...you have done so well!! The tips are great here thanks!

If you do that, you will have to be batting the guys away with a stick. :-)

I may have over simplified things. Is a turkey burger, a baked potato, and kale, (all steamed) drizzled with olive oil and dash of salt and pepper for taste, every night, a bad thing? I haven't gotten back in the swing (from 6 years ago when I did EFL correctly) of things. I feel like I intuitively know the right foods, and amounts and times etc. but either I'm lazy or just don't commit the extra planning time. So it's almost the same thing each day. Egg whites, or oatmeal and protein, then a protein shake, then turkey sandwich, then protein shake, then the dinner I mentioned above, then ...this is where I "reward" myself for being good all day, and I eat something which is comforting or NOT the right food in right amounts. It's a nightly battle really....
