Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Michele, Thanks! Keep up the good work, and know that the Victory Theory is absolutely awesome! If you had ever considered purchasing it, I would recommend it highly! I can't begin to tell you how much it has helped me. I know the initial investment can be a little difficult, but it is well worth every penny. I'm glad that you like that challenge, and I bet your gonna benefit from it like crazy.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Michele, I just reread my post and wanted to make sure that you didn't think that you needed to do the challenge like crazy. I meant that because you're doing so well already, that you would not need to apply much effort to this technique to benefit from it, because you have such a postive attitude naturally!

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Tami, Now that is the kind of challenge that I can handle. Thanks for helping me be more positive today!!! Now I am getting interested in the Victory Theory after seeing these results. Have a great morning!!! Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2000 Report Share Posted May 23, 2000 Hi and All, I honestly don't remember a challenge on this board but it has been awhile! I think it is a good idea though and I hope we can work something out. I do remember people checking in every so often though so it would be good for motivation. We all could use a little extra motivation every now and then. Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2000 Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 Hi , The challenge starts when you begin, since it is actually a personal challenge as compared to a contest. We are not competing on weight loss, but challenging ourselves to really stick with it for thirty days at 40 breaths in on sitting. I decided this for myself since that is how I understood Rashelle explained would work the best for inch loss. I decided on the 30 days because that is about how long it takes to convince me something works and to make it a part of my daily routine. Posting to the list makes me more accountable and apparently works that way for others too. Besides, it seems that when others see that we are doing it, they want to do it too. We can do this together even though we are great distances apart! ~Karma<(©¿©)> http://loaves-n-fishes.com Challenge Karma,When does the challenge begin???However, I'm one of the counting impaired. I set my timer for 20minutes. I do about 2-3 breaths per minute, so I'm sure I'm doing atleast 40 - 50 breaths in a row.I'd really like to join in because I've been slacking on my morning workout here and there.I've also been doing about 30 breaths every other day in the pool. (AFlorida LL Advantage!!!) I put one of those long tub things under myknees and one behind my head and relax, soak up some sun, catch a fewrays and breath! (My doctor told me at least 15 minutes a day in thesunshine - so I'm technically only following doctors orders!!)When do we begin. I also want to try what Rashelle said in that emailyou reposted. I'm going to do at least 10 breaths in each positioninstead of changing to so many positions. I want to target my thighs!!!!At the Starting line.............http://themail.com/ref.htm?ref=1227417 *** This free e-mail service pays money for messages that are read!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2000 Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 Actually it is just because if I don't tell myself that I have to do the full 40 that I will get lazy and let myself only do 39 as "Good enough" You can do whatever you think is challenging. I picked 40 as my number because that is what I remembered Rashelle saying as the number to shoot for to get the best results. ~Karma<(©¿©)> http://loaves-n-fishes.com Challenge Karma-The challenge is for 40 consistent breaths in a row-and if youonly do 39 and stop, you need to restart the next segment again and do acomplete 40 in order for it to count. Is this because the belief isthat 40 in a row is more effective than a few at a time, even tho thetotal may be 40?Ethleenhttp://themail.com/ref.htm?ref=1227417 *** This free e-mail service pays money for messages that are read!

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2000 Report Share Posted September 29, 2000 Wonderful! I am going to start reporting in by saying I am on day whatever I happen to be on so that others will know where I am on it. I noticed that someone did that and thought it was very helpful to know which day of their challenge they were on. ~Karma<(©¿©)> http://loaves-n-fishes.com Re:Challenge Karma, I'm going to take the challenge too.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2000 Report Share Posted September 29, 2000 Hi Karma, Sounds good! Actually, I'm so glad that I checked my email this morning. I did my breathing yesterday. I was tired so I did half of my breaths sitting down. That was new for me, yet I was determined to do them. Today, I got a very slow start and WOW! 71 messages later from everyone I'm really inspired to get off this computer and do my breathing for today. Today is my day 2. I'm going to write that yesterday was my official start date on my calendar so I can accurately keep track of my 30 days. Thanks everyone for your enthusiasm!!! It's infectious!!!

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2000 Report Share Posted September 29, 2000 :-) I am so glad you are going to do this. Between the two of us, we have been half doing this for a long time. I am really focusing on my lower abs and firming them up. I'm not doing it half way this time. It's all or bust! ~Karma<(©¿©)> http://loaves-n-fishes.com Re: Challenge Hi Karma,Sounds good!Actually, I'm so glad that I checked my email this morning. I did mybreathing yesterday.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2000 Report Share Posted September 29, 2000 Oh, ! When I re-read my message I was offended! I am sorry for how I worded my message! I was trying to think, type my message and answer some school questions at the same time! Please accept my apologies. I meant to say that I have been doing this half way for a long time and that I know you have also been breathing for a long time. I didn't mean to say that you only do stuff half way! How rude! I am sorry that I said that, it wasn't what I meant at all! I'm getting off the computer before I do something else stupid! I'll check back in later when things quiet down around here. Hope you are still talking to me. :-) ~Karma<(©¿©)> http://loaves-n-fishes.com Re: Challenge Hi Karma,Sounds good!Actually, I'm so glad that I checked my email this morning.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2000 Report Share Posted September 30, 2000 Hi all, Didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but day two was 45 breaths and stretches, today (day 3) is 40 so far. Will try to get more in at work tonight. Have a good weekend all. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2000 Report Share Posted October 2, 2000 , I had no idea this silly Challenge was going to be so difficult for me to stick with! I am gaining a new understanding on why I was a slow loser! I see that I really was relying on just doing the breaths through out the day as a cop out of actually get a workout in! Man, oh, MAN! Bad habits are hard to break! I am going to get this one broke though and have the good habit of getting all my breaths done at one sitting instead of throughout the day. Thanks for cheering me up by letting me know I am not the only one who forgets to get the breaths in. ~Karma<(©¿©)> http://loaves-n-fishes.com challenge Well, Karma it seems you are not the only one starting over. I had four days of the challenge under my belt then went out of town for the weekend. I did 40 breaths in the car traveling on Friday, but never even gave it a second thought on Saturday. So Sunday on the way home I started over doing 40 in the car. I measured this morning. (() & & $#%$)__++)+() & %!!!!!) as you can see it wasn't good, LOL. I am counting today as day one for me, and will report in at the end of the day.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 Tara, Third times the charm for me too! Yesterday (Saturday) I had a birthday party go get the kids to and help with, along with plenty of other things. I woke up this morning going over my day yesterday making sure I had gotten everything done and I realized that I hadn't done my breathing! Of all the things to forget! RATS!, RATS, and Double RATS! On the other hand, we can start over together. :-) ~Karma<(©¿©)> http://loaves-n-fishes.com Challenge Looks like I'm back at day 1. I didn't get in one single breath yesterday ): That's what I get for procrastinating! I haven't done the breathing today yet either, but I will, and when I do I'll report back to say I've done mine for day 1.Everyone have a wonderful Sunday,Tara ëhttp://themail.com/refhtm?ref=1227417 *** This free e-mail service pays money for messages that are read!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Hi Terry, That was my goal! Whoo Hoo! I wanted to help people make it a habit just like brushing your teeth. As for results, sometimes the changes are subtle. I am so proud of you for finishing the challenge! ~Karma<(©¿©)> http://loaves-n-fishes.com challenge Hello everyone, Just wanted to let you know that I finished the 40 day challenge on Tues. Nov. 6th.I wanted to take a moment to thank Karma for thinking of it. It has become a habit now,(a good one) hoo hoo!! Actually I'm kinda surprised, cause its just something I do now,like brushing my teeth. I know that I feel better, I think mentally as well as physically,however I guess I'm one of the slow losers. I finally measured today, and have only lost1 1/2 inches over-all. I was hoping for more after doing it so faithfully. Oh well, evena small loss is better than none, so I will keep on doing LL every day. My husband says he can tell a difference, but I think maybe he's just being nice. I probably won'tmeasure again until I can tell a big difference in my clothes. Welcome to all younewbies!! Best of luck to all.Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Welcome Charlotte, Congratulations on taking those " before " photos - that's one of the most difficult parts of the program, but one that will keep you motivated! Be sure to write your goals down, and plan out your meals and workouts. The BFL program will help you be more organized, and with the challenges that you are facing with the divorce, children to care for, educational and career plans, organization and planning will be extremely helpful in helping you to achieve those goals. You're on your way to a better life. Don't be concerned with showing " him " anything, " he " doesn't matter and he's not worth the energy it takes to think about him, you're doing this for you!
