Jim's First Gluten-free Body-for-life Challenge

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... :D

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 :o She lost over 40 lbs! She looked like a fitness competitor with her 6-pack abs and biceps at 38 yrs old!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
