As some of you know, I had a rough start to 2009 due to illness. By summer, it was determined that at the heart of my medical issues was Celiac. I started on a gluten-free diet and began a 12-week Body-for-LIFE challenge on August 24th, following the BFL fitness/weight-loss program and riding my bike like a mad man... I've attempted many BFL challenges in the last several years but they were usually derailed by illness.

I created a music/progress video celebrating my big comeback with clips from my bike rides and progress photos from my very successful challenge (8/24/09 - 11/14/09). The song is "Turnaround". Pretty darn fitting...

This link will play the video directly from YouTube.

AWESOME!! Congrats!

My mother did the BFL challenge back when I was a senior in highschool and into the summer afterwards. Wow, that's nearly 10 years ago She lost over 40 lbs! She looked like a fitness competitor with her 6-pack abs and biceps at 38 yrs old!
