Re: Carolyn Culverhouse 50+ age category goes from size 20 to size 4(lost 80 pounds)

[Guest guest]

I only pray my figure resembles hers at 50. I have never seen any of

the winners or great transformers such as Pam B. Post in any of the

on a regular basis. I wonder why?

The photos represent a 12-week period and 24-pound loss, but she actually

completed 36 straight weeks to lose the 80 pounds.

Oh that explains it. BFL really should put a notation at the bottom

of photos where more than one challenge was completed. I think that

is why many people question the winners sometimes. Where would I go

to read how many challenges all winners completed?

They tend to get mobbed when they post. Adair is a member here and used to

post. I don't know if she still lurks. Mina Hobbi posted her story for us. Pam

Brown posts all the time at Lean & Strong. Hank , , Brad

Wadlow, Fred & Scurtti, and many others are members and post on the

clubs frequently. Even Bill used to post on the original BFL club. Now

THAT was awesome! It deteriorated into a flaming, back-stabbing, slug-fest over

there though. I think he got really fed up with the constant bickering and

negativity. Can't say I blame him.

what is the name of that original bfl group? Is that the

official site? Did any of those winners post in groups before their

transformation?

It was /bodyforlifeclub

There was nothing official about it. Just another club, but it was the

first and the biggest. In the heyday, the volume was over 10,000 posts a month.

It became a closed group when it was in the process of self-destructing.

Invitation only. So, I'm not sure if you can even access it anymore. It's

definitely dead now, less than 5 posts a month.

I don't know if any of the champs were posting regularly before they won. I know

some of the runners up were active on . Oooh! Clarissa (Myoplexlite)!

There's a picture of her and Bill in the " We're all champs here " folder. She had

a baby and started a club called BFL Mamas. I think she may still be with us.

She had an amazing transformation.

Based on the fact that I have lost 74 lbs I can say that I bet she really did

lose 80! Plus, I am sure they have to prove their stats - though now that I

think of it, how could they? Anyway, it is hard to tell on some people how much

they have lost. She looks like she carried her weight fairly evenly throughout

her body, maybe more in the thighs/hips region.

They didn't say she lost 80# scale weight, they said she lost 80# of

fat. Those kinds of numbers are a little suspect, since BF% for

those of us that are large are not terribly accurate, but I'm sure

they are basing that number on the change in her BF.

If you look at her Champion page it tells you that she lost 24# in

her last challange, so she has done multiple.

You'd prolly have to look at them each individually:

http://bodyforlife.com/comp_corner.shtml

At the bottom are links for all the grand champions by year.

It's pretty inconsistant, tho. Our own Mina is only shown her stats for

her last 12-weeks:

http://bodyforlife.com/Competitor_Corner/successtories/story.asp?success_pk=93

....And not for the truly outstanding year-long process for which we have

photos in the club here.

Inspiring nonetheless.

Mina only won 2nd runner up? I thought she would have easily won at

least grand champion. Has Pam Brown entered the bfl contest? She

could definitely be the first female master champ.

Hi all this is shonda. Just using a different name.

Pam entered the 2001 contest and did not win, ore even place.Which

she said is fine for her. She is enjoying her new business ( which

she couldnot do if contected to EAS) and winning bodybuilding

contests.

I just doubted that she lost 80 pounds in 12 weeks which was the

impression given when the caption states here total loss with only

one challenge photos. How long did it take you to lose the 74 pounds

Park? Can you share an example of what your daily meals and eating

plans were like. Just one day would be helpful.

That's a shame, I don't blame bill for getting out of there. He has

too much going on than to get involved in cyber drama. I tried the

group and it does say that I can't access it.

It has taken me 9 1/2 months to lose 74 lbs. My pictures are in the albums

here. I am on C4W3D2. Here is an example of my meals.

Meal 1 - 1 cup egg beaters and 1 piece fruit

Meal 2 - 3/4 c. cottage cheese and 1 piece fruit

Meal 3 - 4 oz turkey on whole wheat pita with veggies

Meal 4 - 3/4 c. cottage cheese and 1 piece fruit

Meal 5 - 4 oz salmon, brocolli, salad, fist sized baked potato

Meal 6 - Raylene's snackin jello (protein powder mixed with sf jello and cottage

cheese and fruit

I also drink a gallon of water a day, lots of coffee, and 1 TBLS flax oil, 1

multivitamin, 1 calcium supplement per day

Hope that helps!

With Pam's lifestory and her physical transformation she should have

been a sure winner. Seems that most of the winners usually have less

than 40 pounds to lose. Although, I thought some of the winners went

on to start their own personal training business. Are the champions

paid yearly to promote EAS/BFL?
