I am excited about the challenge and have to take a photo too- tried to get a buddy but no luck but at least having others in the challenge will be helpful! Sorry do not have my own website. Am determined to achieve success for life!
I would be more than happy to be your extra support throughout this challenge, I know it’s not face to face but would be happy to chat via emails and offer support and encouragement, sometimes its that little extra that can make the difference. Good luck in the challenge.
Originally did really well but fell off the wagon over Christmas. Busting out of my clothes again. Definitely ready for a new challenge – looking forward to getting back on track. I know I can do this…
I am so keen. my brain cannnot say anymore when i lose my weight.
I NOW have complete ownership of my body and I am blowing my weight out of the water striving everyday with mini goals. The challenge is to just add the sprint in the marathon.

DEDICATION, COMMITMENT , CONSISTANCY
Hi guys,
I only signed up for BT on Sat and today I ordered my BS. Here’s hoping it all arrives by the end of the week.
I’m using this challenge to jump start my 14kg weight-loss that I’ve been procrastinating over for 3 years!
Within 6 weeks I will have lost 6kg of body fat. To achieve this I will
1) wear a pedometer each day to ensure 10000 steps. I’m sure I would only do 2000 at the moment!
2) Increase vegetable intake and decrease the size of my meals
3) Bodysculpt workout 3 times per week
4) Whatever else is in the BT and BS programmes that I need to do!!!
6 weeks, only 42 days….. I can’t wait to see the results.
It will take hard work and discipline but the rewards will make it all worthwhile. I’ve always wanted to be slim, toned and fit looking, but have lacked motivation and self discipline. I want to lose at least 7 kilos of body fat, tone up, and lose the gut and “man boobs”. I think achieving this would give me a lot more self confidence.
Hi Everybody,
I joined BT on Sept 7th 09 so far i have lost 16kg and feeling great its the lightest that ive been for 20 years i feel so good. The life style change has been very easy to adapt to. I have a good friend that has lost 23 kg so we give each other lots of encouragement its awesome I love buying clothes havent done that ever.
Im looking forward to the 6 weeks challenge bring it on .Good luck everyone
Making this step has been a step that has eluded me or i have chosen to elude it returning to old habits that have not served a positive and constructive existence.
I will make a huge shift in my mind by using the tools that have been given to me by Geoff and the team, i will apply them with resilience and fortitude until i can complete and achieve a profound transformation in my life.
1) 6 kg of fat….gone if more…bonus
2)create a consistency in eating habits which in turn will enable me to create discipline.
3)walk required movement….
4)Use resistance bands accordingly….
5)move from a procrastinating space to a place of vitality and inner health….which carries onto outer physique transformation.
I would like to wish every single individual the best of mental and physical endurance and consistency and may everybody achieve their desired outcomes……
I have the product and now it is time to start applying Geoff’s principle. I will plan to succeed not plan to fail. I look forward to pasting the new me on the site when the 6 week challange is over. Good luck to every one may we all share our success.
Hi Everyone,
Yes I am looking forward to this next 6 weeks. I am competitive by nature. Feeling a bit low at the moment though, out of work and doing the whole job search and interviews at 43yrs of age. I probably need to watch my meal sizes and the one day off, the evenings are the worst -and not merge inti 2-3 days! I need to measure what I drink as I could do better there. Most of all looking forward to the professional mentoring and interaction. Still have 30 kg to go.
Chookers you go do it!!!
Have ordered BS but not arrived. Looking forward to starting to lose the 15kg I have put on in the last 7 years. No more excuses!!!!! Eat properly, resist temptation, exercise regularly. I WILL do this!
I have used the product before, as with Gayle i had a massive blow out at christmas. After buying some nice clothing that fitted before my 4 week holiday, I am now unable to wear them. Looking forward to feeling less constricted within myself. Good luck to everyone, I look forward to sharing the before and after shots.
I am having an operation (Inner Ear) the 10th of March. As I am obese, I would like to loose at least 10Kg during the 6 week challenge. But most of all I would dearly love & need to learn how to keep my weight off for life. I gave up smoking over four years ago & i guess really I swapped 1 addiction for another now being food. I enjoy the way I feel after exercise & I love not feeling bloated from carbs. I just need alot of help with making this way of eating a way of life consistantly. I weigh 148Kg & my Goal is 70Kg. 10% of my body weight off before I have my operation would be seriously beneficial to my overall wellbeing. I feel this would also help with not feeling so anxious prior to the operation. I have not received body sculpt as yet, however, really looking forward to it. My best wishes to everyone!
Want to be BodyTrim challenge buddies we have a similar weight and the same goal so we can motivate each other! I’m 28 female in sydney Let me know if you are interested 🙂
Hi all I am also new to the programme but loving it already. Only 1 week in but for the first time in years I feel I have some control and no longer feel confused. Having reached 80 KG’s again and being five foot nothing it’s time to finally lose the roly poly look and get my life under control. I also want to stop taking BP medication and avoid being a type2 diabetes victim. So on with the challenge and lets face it we will all be winners as we travel this journey together. Any one needing a buddy please let me know as I would love to team up with you. Going to UK for hols in June and want to blow my family away but most of all I want to be healthy and feel good about me.
I would just like to wish everyone the very best of luck. I don think any of us NEED the money more than we need to lose the weight and whilst I do not know any of you, I am so very proud of each and every one of you for taking this step.
I have been on BT for approx eight weeks now and am waiting to pick up my BS from the post office in the morning (public holiday could not have come at a worse time, LOL), so if anyone needs any extra support or motivation throughout this journey, please do not hesitate to contact me. I dont want anyone feeling as though they have to go it alone.
May our stomach’s be full with our plates half empty! xx
I have tried sooo many different weight loss programs and have had pretty much failed them all. I can’t blame anyone but myself for this. Two weeks before Christmas I started BT (starting weight 84.5 kgs, a stupidly horrible weight for someone only 5ft 3). I’ve lost SIX kilos so far, including 500gms over Christmas. I feel so positive about my future health now and feel like I’m finally on the right track.
HOWEVER, I am notorious for giving up when things start to get a little tough. This morning I stepped on the scales to discover I’d gained 1kg and my first reaction was, God, may as well go eat a packet of Tim Tams (my biggest weakness). I didn’t, but man, did I feel sick in the stomach that I’d automatically fallen back into that way of thinking. The BS Challenge is – for me – the opportunity to prove to myself I CAN DO IT!! I CAN BE IN CONTROL OF MY BODY!
But I am nervous. Very nervous. I am lazy and will allow the weakest excuses to stop me exercising. Even making my 10,000 steps has been a tricky thing. I am determined to do this. By order of my GP I need to lose 20 kgs. By order of my own heart, I need to lose the weight so I can believe in myself again. I’m ready to challenge myself. I’m ready to prove to myself I can do this. But I’m nervous. Trying to find a buddy, but so far no luck. Anyone out there think they can put up with me? Anyone? Anyone? LOL
(By the way, please excuse the babbling. I’m a writer so I babble alot, especially when nervous. Sorry)
Hi Lexxie,
I Had to laugh when I read your blog. I can relate to the laziness:(. I think alot of my problems are between my ears!!! I can talk myself into or out of eating or doing something?>I`m either really really good or REALLY bad with my eating! How did you go on your 1st day of the challenge?? I wish you well! Let me know how you go. Cheers Jo C
Jane here I could have been reading about myself. Also a “recovering weight loser/gainer ” so if you need a buddy how about we team up as I am also going it alone. Our weights and heights are pretty similar and sounds like you have a sense of humour (always helps). Lets do this and get on with having a life
Hi Lexxie and Jane,
I think we can all relate to that feeling of “yeah I’ve lost weight, I’ll celebrate by eating something yummy” then continue to eat the whole packet (I love tim tams too). I wish you both every success and hope that you get to the goals that you want. I’ve yet to find a buddy too, but my husband is supporting me the best he can – by not laughing at me exercising!
That’s great but not sure unless we are ok to exchange email addresses. is that ok or breaking any rules, maybe some of the trimmers in the know can advise
I’m new to the whole BT experience. My doctor scared me by telling me he wants me to have a tummy band. I said no I can do it, I managed to lose 10kg on my own but no more. That was nearly 12 months ago. I started BT & lost 6kg the first week. I now weigh 125kg and have made my first goal 89kg as that was the lowest I’ve ever been.
If you want me for a buddy I really an serious about losing the weight.
Thanks Sandii great to hear from you. Guess we are all buddies really helping each other along. My husband also being very supportive but have to show him I mean it this time as he has heard it just once or twice before!!! Just weighed in after my first week and lost 3.4 KG’s so feeling very positive.
Looking forward to getting started on BodySculpt.
I was over 115kg (not sure exactly what I got to because I stopped weighing myself) I lost 26kg on BodyTrim 12 months ago. I maintained that weight loss for nearly 12 months but unfortunately over the past 2 months I lost my way and gained 7 kgs. I’m now ready to take the next step and finally reach my goal weight of 70kgs. I’d like to get lower than that one day but for now 70kg will do me just fine!
This challenge is going to be the kick in the butt I need to get going again! My hubby is also doing it with me so he will be a great support.
Good luck to everyone! I wish you all the very best of luck!!
😀
I am looking forward to transforming my body in the next 6 weeks. I am saying goodbye to the old me, to the person I have trouble looking at in the mirror. There is no looking back!
Hi Everyone,
2010, WILL, be a fantastic year for everybody.i’m not doing the challenge for the money, i’m doing it for me, look after number 1, as they say.
i all ways thrive for a challenge, because the results are all ways worth it if you try your very best.

Hi Everyone,
I am so looking forward to the challenge not the money its been awhile
since I gave my self any challenges that I am so excited going home today to take my photo so here we go 2010 no going back.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL
Hey BT/BS family,
its great to read all the positive attitudes you have towards embarking on the next step of your journeys. I am happy to buddy with anyone who needs some support, even though I am not doing this challenge, due to having my gall bladder out last monday. I have gone from 106.6 to 72 kgs (I am 5’4″) since last March on BT, and maintained it over the silly season. BT has changed my life, my health and most importantly my opinion of my self. I now feel good and look good, and when we believe in ourselves, we can do ANYTHING! I am looking forward to getting into BS in a month or so, and I am sure I will learn from all of you while I cheer you from the sidelines.
NOOOooooooo, I finally picked up my body sculpt yesterday….was so excited about it, dying to use it and then a pulled a muscle in my back yesterday….. NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo, you will not beat me…. I’m taking back my life! HA!
Hi everyone, I have just received my challenge info, and I am really looking forward too this. I just hope I can keep positive and not let myself down. I don’t have a buddy but I will be reading all your emails and I know that all of us will be their for each other. So.. here we go lots of weight too be be lost and oh what a beautiful body we shall have. Good Luck everyone
Good Luck to everyone in the challenge. I hope we are all successful in shedding those unwanted kilos. I’ll be finally taking my Bodysculpt out of its box to put it to good use. 🙂
At 48, with type 2 diabetes (insulin dependant), high blood pressure & bad knees, I decided Body trim sounded great for me. Changed my train of thought and walked while the kids were at their sports practices, but somehow a stressful interval in my life changed my priorities and it all fell apart. So, 2010 is going to be my year… while I don’t have a buddy, your comments have motivated me to accept the challenge, and a clean bill of health yesterday has set me up to eventually loose 25-30 kgs I’d love to drop. I have a supportive husband, but he’s happy with me as I am, so I really want to show him he can be proud of me as well as happy. Good luck everyone…
Hi Nicola,
email me at mctiger318@hotmail.com if you would like a buddy. I sent you a message but it came up as a new post instead of a reply to your post.
Hi guys
The decision’s been made – Monday here we come! The ‘me’ I remember is going to be seen again in 2010!
My second child starts school in May, so the excuse in my head of ‘well I’ve just had kids’ is no longer valid, action needs to taken – and I’m getting quite excited.
If someone similar would like to keep in touch via email then let me know 🙂 I’m in NZ, about 74kg and aiming for low 60s.
Can’t wait for my BS to arrive as am looking forward to some good resistance work – that should scare any flab away!
Really excited to be able to follow all your successes.
Hi Nicola,
I would be happy to be your buddy, we are the same age, and I too had high blood pressure, bad knees and was heading for Diabetes, before Bodytrim helped me change my life. My husband was also happy with the way I was, and used to “reward” me with chocolates. He has now finally got it, and instead bought me two green tree frogs as a reward for my exam results! Let me know if I can help you with this challenge.
Can only send me the link to the Welcome Page as referred to below, I am having troubles finding the link.
Submit your photos and 2010 Challenge submission by the email link provided on the Welcome page on the BLOG or submit to Bodytrim by post no later than 5pm March 9th,
2010 (see rules & regulations).
I’m very much looking forward to getting stuck into this! No more excuses – we are a group with lots of positive energy to share with each other, here’s our opportunity to really make a difference.
I had a crap year last year, and this year is going to be the best – and this starts with feeling fantastic about myself and being happy from within. This in turn, makes the reflection in the mirror something to be proud of!
Bring it on I say!
My goal is to lose 10kgs by April 22.
Good luck everyone (and take that photo!)
Hi guys, I am inspired after reading all of your comments, but I am also a little bit sad for all the people who are still buddy-less. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like support! You can never have too many friends and I go by the age old saying that a joy shared is a joy doubled and a burden shared is a burden halved.
I think if we can all band together as one big supportive group, then no one will get left behind (as geoff says) as we can all be there to support and encourage each other.
Hi Everyone
T
hanks for sharing your personal thoughts on the Challenge! I too, am excited about regaining my self-confidence. I have lost 6kgs on BT and have 4 to go! While it sounds like such a small amount of weight…..it seems really hard to get it off!! I am hoping that BS will help me lose the last of this weight.
I don’t have a buddy yet if anyone is still looking for some support!
I wish you all the very best on your personal journey and can’t wait to hear of your successes on this challemge.
Hi guys, I am looking forward to the next 6 weeks to really get me motivated. Have started BT a few times since I signed up. Have managed to lose 5kgs and gain 3 back again. I am 60 and weigh 113kgs. In October I will be ‘Mother of the Bride’ for the first time and I would truly love to lose as close to 40kgs as possible by then. I hate having my photo taken and it would really boost my confidence to feel comfortable about it. I would also like to inspire my daughter to lose a few kilos as well.
Hi All (again!)
I do need a buddy….. my family is generally unsupportive when they know I am “actively” trying to loose weight, and so I have tended to keep what I’m doing as quite as possible at home. I do have a friend who is “dieting” she has opted for one of the shake replacement programs, but I would really prefer to have someone experiencing what I am to turn to if at all possible.
My email is: drtmr@tpg.com.au
Does anyone know if we need to do a 3 day detox b4 starting the program? I haven’t had a protein only day since before xmas, and suspect I am a little overloaded with CHOs.
CU
Good Morning Challengers,Hope everybody is pumped.I have just come off my 3 day protein days and I feel fantastic looking forward to my bodysculpt arriving this week.Kathleen you can contact me at lilycasa@bigpond.net.au.Stay focused!!!!!!!
Peg & Kathleen sorry I didn’t get back in touch straight away. Had problems with my computer but all fixed now. My email is mirandawds@myway.com. Looking forward to encouraging each other. My bodysculpt has just arrived & will spend time now going through it.
Firstly….Good Luck to everyone who is doing the 2010 challenge
I wrote my goals when i first watched the video.. but decided to post them here.. to put them out in the cyber universe..
My challenge goals are to
1) rewatch the DVD’s and read the book in the week preceeding challenge
2) become lighter at least 4-8kg within challenge. I would like to equate to at least 1 kg per week, however I understand that BSt is more about sculpt/chape/cm than kg…
3) therfore become smaller in the 6 weeks- take measurements, and photos
4) make the time to do the resistance bands 3 times per week
5) make concious effort to complete 10 000 steps, regardless of the other exercise completed.
I want to achieve what I have done so before, but I have some how fallen from the wagon so to speak. I want to do my 10 000 steps each day, drink plenty of water and eat every 3 hours as I should. I am going to do my resistance bands 3 times a week also.
The trouble I have is the eating every 3 hours, I don’t know any good protien snacks and a bit over eggs, ham and bbq chicken.
So I hope the challenge can help me in some way to be more creative and interested in food. Because if I don’t feel like the basic protien snack I usually don’t eat or have something I shouldn’t.
Here’s to looking forward to learning even more from Geoff!
Hi Teresa,
I struggled with the snacks too, and agree that variety is the secret to success. I try not to repeat a snack in any one day, and have a few recipes that might help and some commercially available products that are handy to carry in your bag. Feel free to email me at mctiger318@hotmail.com if you would like details.
Hi Teresa- You could try making up batches of little meatballs (chicken, beef or pork mince- whatever you like) and adding your favourite herbs or seasonings (my faves are chicken with Chinese five spice and chilli flakes or lamb with fresh mint). They are quite economical- mince is relatively cheap.
Hang in there!
Hi everyone, have had some success with BT, have been and will continue to visualise with feeling everyday where I want to be at the end of the challenge. I’m not so worried about the number of Kgs I want to lose (5 would be good) but more the change of body shape. Have taken photos and measurements and will keep using the resources provided with BS. Will have interstate visitors a couple of times during the challenge so will need to have my days well planned to stay on track. My buddy is very supportive and I will encourage and support her too. I’ll be taking it a day at a time and using my BS diary to keep me accountable! Good luck everyone. Remember “if it is to be, it is up to me”
I’ve been a BT follower from the begining, however start off well and then let life get in the way. I need the motivational support and to be accountalbe to someone!! I know the system works for my body and enjoy the programme. Just don’t seem to keep motivated. let the social life get in the way too much. Find the Free days spiril out of control.
Goals
To put all the knowledge into action.
Get organised! Plan Ahead.
10,00 Steps a day (everyday)
Drink lots of water. (Never been good at).
Stay FOCUS!!!!
Need to lose 20+ Kgs. Would like to lose 10 in next 6 weeks.
Would enjoy support and encourgement from other members. Have walking buddy for two days a week, but like to have contact with other memebers.
After a lifetime of growing and shrinking and growing again, I wish BT had been around when I was in my 30s instead of my 60s. But now I’m determined to get those last 5 kilos off (again!) where I know I am more comfortable in my clothes and with myself. I’m finding the water consumption and getting all those steps in a bit of a challenge but will be working particularly hard to make it happen over the next 6 weeks.
Would love to have a buddy contact if there’s anyone out there. I live in a remote area so can’t always get the food Geoff recommends but am really excited by the extent and variety of the foods included – and I can still be losing weight! Avoiding the temptation of a couple of glasses of wine most nights is my biggest hurdle.
I’m also really inspired by reading everyone’s comments. As intended, there is nothing like sharing. Good luck to each and every one of you!
Your comments are so similar to my experience too.
Have had great results with BT but I got slack and have put on weight again, so I am looking forward to getting back into it and seeing what BodySculpt can do for me.
I have been low-carbing for 12 months now- so I know how fantastic & energised this lifestyle makes you feel. But to shift the lard, in find I need Bodysculpt to give me the structure of portion size & meal frequency- that’s what makes so much difference!
I will be counting my steps & observing the 3 hour rule.
I am not going to set a “magic number” of kgs to lose- I have found that when eating low carb & doing resistance training, your muscle mass is preserved (unlike old-fashioned starvation diets), so my concept of what constitutes my “ideal weight” has changed.
I will persevere until I have to take those jeans to the tailor!!
Congrats on taking this step – here’s to a really successful, fun challenge & keeping one another motivated.
I am buddy-less and would love some encouragement. I’m also finding it hard to know where to start, I came in late on all the info & original emails about the Challenge, as I’ve been away travelling – but I want to get started now TODAY and get into it. Where do I even begin?
Have had some moderate success with BT and know that if I apply everything fully, that the full success will come.
Best wishes to you all and I hope to hear from some of you so I can put these words into action.
I think I did this earlier, but can’t seem to find it, maybe i mixed it up somehow. Anyway, my aim is to stay on the bodysculpt religiously for the next 6 weeks, make it to the 60’s, have my jeans fall of and most of all, be proud of my committment and achievements.
I am aiming to lose 50+ kilos. I hope to lose up to 3 kgs a week. anything over is a bonus. When I first started bodytrim I lost 7.5kgs in the first week. So I am hoping that I can do the same or better with this challenge!
I’m so excited to start this today! I order BS on Tuesday but I am still waiting for it to come in the mail everyday so until them I am just having to stick to my BT program!
I just had a question about the Official Rules because I am a little confused. It says that ‘”The 2010 Challenge will run from February 1st to March 28th and All entries must be received by 5pm, March 9th, 2010″. However March 9th is only 5 weeks after it has started not 6?
Is this definately correct?
Please tell me if I am missing something!
Wow!! Reading all these stories are amazing, you think you are the only person who has a problem with dieting, losing weight all the time there are hundreds of us out there with the same problem, fighting the weight battle. I am blown away by the stories that have been written applying myself to each and everyone of them. I am have over weight since I had my first child when I was a young 17 year old and now turning 41 next week I have slowly but surely continuously put on a little bit of weight over the years and weighed 110kg when I started BT. It has been a huge break through after being on other diets and yoyoing around with weight. Since starting BT I have lost 16kg and are now 94kg and it was so easy. I can’t wait to add the next step with BS and see the fast track results and its like Geoff says 2010 is my year. I am looking for a buddy also, do pretty well by myself but other support is very motivating. Good luck with your endeavours everyone!!
I feel like I’m behind already – didn’t receive my first lesson and am now playing catch up. Don’t have a buddy yet but am hoping someone will take pity on me 🙂
Looking forward to the challenge and some major changes
Hi everyone, I have great news for ll those people who are either buddy-less, or also for people like myself who just really love making new friends. I have just set up a facebook group called
Body Trim and Body Sculpt Buddies
You can go here as well to meet new people, make buddies, share your stories and motivation and support each other through this journey.
I ws sad to see so many people trying to go the journey alone, so hopefully this will help us all to network and connect. It is only a new group (I just clicked create five seconds ago) so your support would be appreciated.
Come on over and say hello, and tell anyone else who is doing BT or BS at the moment! Cheers
I am not sure why, but it seems to come up for some and not for others. Try this link and let me know if it works…. I am not very technologically minded, so I truly hope this doesnt send you to argentina, but Ill give it my best shot, lol
Hi Paul! Thnks for your support. I wasnt sure if people would be interested, but I knew it would help me out a great deal nd I knew there were a lot of people who didnt have buddies so I thought it would be a fantastic way to network, join buddies, make new friends and fight the flab as one big team.
I firmly believe that you are only as strong as your weakest link. This fcebook group has the ability to keep everyone one of us strong!
Hi Tamster great idea using Facebook the more the merrier to help us all along. Nobody needs to go it alone, I couldn’t have asked for a more inspirational bunch of people to keep me on track.
Hi all, I’m still unsure as to what I have to do with this challenge or if I’ve missed the start but guess will find out in the next videos. I am getting married in Oct and would really like to lose 10kg to get me into the 60’s. I have been doing BT on and off for quite a while now. My first attempt I lost about 5 kg (3 in the first 3 protein only days) but each time I go off it I feel like I plateau at 2kg heavier than before. So I’m a bit stuck! Bought BS when it first came out on special but wasn’t really in the right frame of mind or physically up to it (I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which makes it hard to do lots of exercise) but I thought I’d give this challenge a whirl as it might give me a motivational boost. My partner works in another city at the moment so I can’t use him as an excuse for not doing it! Hopefully in 6 weeks he will see a new me (which will then look FABULOUS in a wedding dress – when I find one!). Ok, I’ll stop raving now… maybe see you on Facebook as I don’t have a buddy.
Good luck with it all Annie. I lost 5kg on Bodytrim and then hit a plateau too. Got lazy with the protein snacks not knowing what to eat other than deli meat and boiled eggs got a bit boring. If I make a variety of different ones I find it helps me eat the every 3 hours. I don’t have a buddy either and unsure of the challenge. I don’t have too much time to sit at the computer reading everyones blogs but when I do its very interesting. Hope to talk to you again soon to see how you are doing.
Starting the challenge on Sunday 7th February! Have not used bodyscupt before. This is a new beginning! Good Sucess to everyone!
goals: lose 6kg
exercise according to prog every day
Get with the strength!
CHANGE OF PLANS! I saw my GP and physio and because I have had a total shoulder replacement, and two partial knee replacements am not able to use bodyscupt bands epoc system.
SO – I am doing the challenge on Bodytrim.
Goals the same -goals: lose 6kg
exercise according to prog every day
Get with the strength!
A shame but that’s life!
Just doing bodytrim myself as new to plan and not ready to add body sculpt just yet. Only using the 10,000+ steps each day and also hoping this will be enough to drop the kilo’s. Good luck.
I started on Monday 1 Feb, but as yet haven’t posted my starting details….so here they are.
Weight – 61.3kg
Waiste – 77.5cm
Hips – 90cm
Chest – 89.5cm
Thigh – 52cm (I can’t wait till they don’t rub together!!!)
Butt – 94cm
ANd I have taken the before photo and went to print it out and the USB connection on my computer decided to play up. SO I am off to the photo shop on Friday to get it printed out – tht will scare them.
I had an AMAZING EPOC session this morning. Feel totally pumped from it. Have some buddies I am emailing that I have hooked up with from the forum and we are all encouraging each other. The support on offer is amazing. Bring it on. I have some MAJOR fat to lose.
THanks Geoff and everyone else for the inpsiration.
Hi Debbie I too can’t seem to work that one out, also do you know when the second e-lesson will be on line thought it was on the Monday but haven’t seen it yet..
Got back from a 2 week cruise today so a bit late starting but we have until the 14th right? this has come at a good time for me, not looking forward to weighing tomorrow and will submit starting stats soon.
Any body been using Zoe’s recipes, have tried quite a few and loved the Baramundi, chicken with roasted vegetables and the beef and green beans. All very yummy and so easy to prepare.
Hi.

Hi am only just getting this. for some reason i missed the info about the challenge and have been confused.
I still have alot of weight to go and wasn’t sure if this was for me???
But i will go for 6 weeks starting tomorrow. i want to achieve and get my fat gone!!
I will find out what I need to do to be in the challenge and do it1!
I have been doing BS for nearly 2 weeks now.
How do I get a buddy??
stats
weight 86 k
chest 100
waist90.3
abd 101
hips 111
thigh 63
arms 35
in the 6 weeks i want to get down to 80 kilos, yes!!!
That’s what I want xx x
I am 34 and a mother of 4, live on a cattle station in a remote area in North Queensland, have followed BT since March last year and lost 11kg on that still had 17kgs to go before I started this challenge 3 weeks ago now I have 13.1kgs to go. Was hoping someone would like to buddy up with me. Hope you are all doing really well with the challenge and those jeans are starting to fall down!
Hi Melissa I would be more than happy to buddy up with you. I have only been on BT for 5 weeks and so far all going well. Having been overweight most of my adult life I feel i have finally found an eating plan that suits me and also brings results. We have only been in Australia for 2 years and just moved from QLD to Sydney and don’t really have any family or friends here so it would be great to have another online buddy. Check us out on Facebook too under Bodytrim and Bodysculpt Buddies or email me direct on pinkdiamond2109@gmail.com if you would like to.

Hi, This will be interesting to see what one will achieve over the six weeks. Looking forward to the challange.
January 25, 2010 at 7:32 am |
Hi, looking forward to the next six weeks if it is as good as it has been up to now then it should be great
January 25, 2010 at 7:42 am |
I am excited about the challenge and have to take a photo too- tried to get a buddy but no luck but at least having others in the challenge will be helpful! Sorry do not have my own website. Am determined to achieve success for life!
January 26, 2010 at 2:38 am |
Hi Robyn,
I would be more than happy to be your extra support throughout this challenge, I know it’s not face to face but would be happy to chat via emails and offer support and encouragement, sometimes its that little extra that can make the difference. Good luck in the challenge.
January 25, 2010 at 8:03 am |
Originally did really well but fell off the wagon over Christmas. Busting out of my clothes again. Definitely ready for a new challenge – looking forward to getting back on track. I know I can do this…
January 28, 2010 at 11:45 pm |
I too fell off the wagon. Was going so well too, but gathering motivation to get back on…Good luck to you.
January 31, 2010 at 8:47 am
I am in the same boat as you guys!
January 25, 2010 at 9:01 am |
looking forwar to the challengs. good luck everyone
January 25, 2010 at 10:09 am |

3) weight JS nuts beginning of week small bags
4) continue BT lunch rule of sticking to the bulk of one main veg for the week changing veg each week

DEDICATION, COMMITMENT , CONSISTANCY
January 25, 2010 at 10:54 am |
Hi guys,
I only signed up for BT on Sat and today I ordered my BS. Here’s hoping it all arrives by the end of the week.
I’m using this challenge to jump start my 14kg weight-loss that I’ve been procrastinating over for 3 years!
Within 6 weeks I will have lost 6kg of body fat. To achieve this I will
1) wear a pedometer each day to ensure 10000 steps. I’m sure I would only do 2000 at the moment!
2) Increase vegetable intake and decrease the size of my meals
3) Bodysculpt workout 3 times per week
4) Whatever else is in the BT and BS programmes that I need to do!!!
6 weeks, only 42 days….. I can’t wait to see the results.
January 25, 2010 at 11:08 am |
It will take hard work and discipline but the rewards will make it all worthwhile. I’ve always wanted to be slim, toned and fit looking, but have lacked motivation and self discipline. I want to lose at least 7 kilos of body fat, tone up, and lose the gut and “man boobs”. I think achieving this would give me a lot more self confidence.
January 25, 2010 at 12:06 pm |
Hi Everybody,
I joined BT on Sept 7th 09 so far i have lost 16kg and feeling great its the lightest that ive been for 20 years i feel so good. The life style change has been very easy to adapt to. I have a good friend that has lost 23 kg so we give each other lots of encouragement its awesome I love buying clothes havent done that ever.
Im looking forward to the 6 weeks challenge bring it on .Good luck everyone
January 25, 2010 at 12:34 pm |
Making this step has been a step that has eluded me or i have chosen to elude it returning to old habits that have not served a positive and constructive existence.
I will make a huge shift in my mind by using the tools that have been given to me by Geoff and the team, i will apply them with resilience and fortitude until i can complete and achieve a profound transformation in my life.
1) 6 kg of fat….gone if more…bonus
2)create a consistency in eating habits which in turn will enable me to create discipline.
3)walk required movement….
4)Use resistance bands accordingly….
5)move from a procrastinating space to a place of vitality and inner health….which carries onto outer physique transformation.
I would like to wish every single individual the best of mental and physical endurance and consistency and may everybody achieve their desired outcomes……
January 25, 2010 at 2:05 pm |
I have the product and now it is time to start applying Geoff’s principle. I will plan to succeed not plan to fail. I look forward to pasting the new me on the site when the 6 week challange is over. Good luck to every one may we all share our success.
January 25, 2010 at 9:57 pm |
Hi Everyone,
Yes I am looking forward to this next 6 weeks. I am competitive by nature. Feeling a bit low at the moment though, out of work and doing the whole job search and interviews at 43yrs of age. I probably need to watch my meal sizes and the one day off, the evenings are the worst -and not merge inti 2-3 days! I need to measure what I drink as I could do better there. Most of all looking forward to the professional mentoring and interaction. Still have 30 kg to go.
Chookers you go do it!!!
January 25, 2010 at 9:59 pm |
Comment to Wayne B. I am curious, are you one of my relos?
January 25, 2010 at 11:13 pm |
Have ordered BS but not arrived. Looking forward to starting to lose the 15kg I have put on in the last 7 years. No more excuses!!!!! Eat properly, resist temptation, exercise regularly. I WILL do this!
January 25, 2010 at 11:39 pm |
My goal is to get back into BT and to start BodySculpt.
I would like to lose 10kgs in the six weeks but want to focus more on the difference in the before and after photo.
I have put on about 12-13 kgs of the 23 kgs weight I lost with BT, this challenge has given me the motivation to do it.
January 25, 2010 at 11:48 pm |
I have used the product before, as with Gayle i had a massive blow out at christmas. After buying some nice clothing that fitted before my 4 week holiday, I am now unable to wear them. Looking forward to feeling less constricted within myself. Good luck to everyone, I look forward to sharing the before and after shots.
January 26, 2010 at 12:13 am |
I am having an operation (Inner Ear) the 10th of March. As I am obese, I would like to loose at least 10Kg during the 6 week challenge. But most of all I would dearly love & need to learn how to keep my weight off for life. I gave up smoking over four years ago & i guess really I swapped 1 addiction for another now being food. I enjoy the way I feel after exercise & I love not feeling bloated from carbs. I just need alot of help with making this way of eating a way of life consistantly. I weigh 148Kg & my Goal is 70Kg. 10% of my body weight off before I have my operation would be seriously beneficial to my overall wellbeing. I feel this would also help with not feeling so anxious prior to the operation. I have not received body sculpt as yet, however, really looking forward to it. My best wishes to everyone!
January 26, 2010 at 1:34 am |
Hi Joanne
Want to be BodyTrim challenge buddies we have a similar weight and the same goal so we can motivate each other! I’m 28 female in sydney Let me know if you are interested 🙂
Cant wait for the challenge!
January 26, 2010 at 3:51 am
Hello Lucy.
I would welcome a Bodytrim challenge buddie. having a similar weight & goal, I agree, will be very motivational. Where do we go from here?
January 27, 2010 at 9:37 am
Ho Joanne
I don’t how how to contact you outside of this forum so email me at lucylamont@hotmail.com
Please know one else email unless you are Geoff or also in the +130kg range! LOL
Lucy
January 26, 2010 at 1:23 am |
I am a genuine 110.4 KG as of this morning my goal is 85 KG’s. In the next 6 weeks I hope to lose 12 KG’s or more.
I lost about 8 KG’s on BT before but put it and more back on. I love a challenge and want the $5K
January 26, 2010 at 8:11 pm |
Mark, You have similar stats to when I started BT last February and our goals are the same. Good Luck Stay committed and you will achieve.
Cheers
Curly
January 26, 2010 at 4:46 am |
Hi all I am also new to the programme but loving it already. Only 1 week in but for the first time in years I feel I have some control and no longer feel confused. Having reached 80 KG’s again and being five foot nothing it’s time to finally lose the roly poly look and get my life under control. I also want to stop taking BP medication and avoid being a type2 diabetes victim. So on with the challenge and lets face it we will all be winners as we travel this journey together. Any one needing a buddy please let me know as I would love to team up with you. Going to UK for hols in June and want to blow my family away but most of all I want to be healthy and feel good about me.
January 26, 2010 at 8:43 am |
I would just like to wish everyone the very best of luck. I don think any of us NEED the money more than we need to lose the weight and whilst I do not know any of you, I am so very proud of each and every one of you for taking this step.
I have been on BT for approx eight weeks now and am waiting to pick up my BS from the post office in the morning (public holiday could not have come at a worse time, LOL), so if anyone needs any extra support or motivation throughout this journey, please do not hesitate to contact me. I dont want anyone feeling as though they have to go it alone.
May our stomach’s be full with our plates half empty! xx
January 26, 2010 at 9:52 am |
Tamster, can I put my hand up for that extra support and motivation? 🙂
January 27, 2010 at 5:17 am
Hi Lexxie, I would be honoured. Feel free to contact me at wordslikeforever@hotmail.com and I will be more than happy to help you in any way I can.
January 26, 2010 at 9:51 am |
Am I allowed to say I’m nervous?
I have tried sooo many different weight loss programs and have had pretty much failed them all. I can’t blame anyone but myself for this. Two weeks before Christmas I started BT (starting weight 84.5 kgs, a stupidly horrible weight for someone only 5ft 3). I’ve lost SIX kilos so far, including 500gms over Christmas. I feel so positive about my future health now and feel like I’m finally on the right track.
HOWEVER, I am notorious for giving up when things start to get a little tough. This morning I stepped on the scales to discover I’d gained 1kg and my first reaction was, God, may as well go eat a packet of Tim Tams (my biggest weakness). I didn’t, but man, did I feel sick in the stomach that I’d automatically fallen back into that way of thinking. The BS Challenge is – for me – the opportunity to prove to myself I CAN DO IT!! I CAN BE IN CONTROL OF MY BODY!
But I am nervous. Very nervous. I am lazy and will allow the weakest excuses to stop me exercising. Even making my 10,000 steps has been a tricky thing. I am determined to do this. By order of my GP I need to lose 20 kgs. By order of my own heart, I need to lose the weight so I can believe in myself again. I’m ready to challenge myself. I’m ready to prove to myself I can do this. But I’m nervous. Trying to find a buddy, but so far no luck. Anyone out there think they can put up with me? Anyone? Anyone? LOL
(By the way, please excuse the babbling. I’m a writer so I babble alot, especially when nervous. Sorry)
February 1, 2010 at 10:55 am |
Hi Lexxie,
I Had to laugh when I read your blog. I can relate to the laziness:(. I think alot of my problems are between my ears!!! I can talk myself into or out of eating or doing something?>I`m either really really good or REALLY bad with my eating! How did you go on your 1st day of the challenge?? I wish you well! Let me know how you go. Cheers Jo C
January 26, 2010 at 10:10 am |
Hi Lexxie
Jane here I could have been reading about myself. Also a “recovering weight loser/gainer ” so if you need a buddy how about we team up as I am also going it alone. Our weights and heights are pretty similar and sounds like you have a sense of humour (always helps). Lets do this and get on with having a life
January 26, 2010 at 10:25 am |
Done! 🙂 Err… how do we contact each other off BS blogs?
January 27, 2010 at 4:47 am |
Hi Lexxie and Jane,
I think we can all relate to that feeling of “yeah I’ve lost weight, I’ll celebrate by eating something yummy” then continue to eat the whole packet (I love tim tams too). I wish you both every success and hope that you get to the goals that you want. I’ve yet to find a buddy too, but my husband is supporting me the best he can – by not laughing at me exercising!
January 26, 2010 at 10:30 am |
That’s great but not sure unless we are ok to exchange email addresses. is that ok or breaking any rules, maybe some of the trimmers in the know can advise
January 27, 2010 at 2:35 am |
Need a buddy for the challenge!! Anyone out there still looking for one??
January 27, 2010 at 5:04 am |
I’m new to the whole BT experience. My doctor scared me by telling me he wants me to have a tummy band. I said no I can do it, I managed to lose 10kg on my own but no more. That was nearly 12 months ago. I started BT & lost 6kg the first week. I now weigh 125kg and have made my first goal 89kg as that was the lowest I’ve ever been.
If you want me for a buddy I really an serious about losing the weight.
January 28, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Good on you I am looking for a buddy Marion if you want to contact me.We can do this.
January 30, 2010 at 8:10 am
Hi i need a buddy too
Just started this week at about 110kg
Marion and peg if you want to contact me
We all can support and motivate each other.
January 27, 2010 at 3:06 am |
GONNA do it! Gonna DO it! Gonna do IT..
January 27, 2010 at 5:23 am |
Thanks Sandii great to hear from you. Guess we are all buddies really helping each other along. My husband also being very supportive but have to show him I mean it this time as he has heard it just once or twice before!!! Just weighed in after my first week and lost 3.4 KG’s so feeling very positive.
January 27, 2010 at 5:35 am |
Looking forward to getting started on BodySculpt.
I was over 115kg (not sure exactly what I got to because I stopped weighing myself) I lost 26kg on BodyTrim 12 months ago. I maintained that weight loss for nearly 12 months but unfortunately over the past 2 months I lost my way and gained 7 kgs. I’m now ready to take the next step and finally reach my goal weight of 70kgs. I’d like to get lower than that one day but for now 70kg will do me just fine!
This challenge is going to be the kick in the butt I need to get going again! My hubby is also doing it with me so he will be a great support.
Good luck to everyone! I wish you all the very best of luck!!
😀
January 27, 2010 at 5:42 am |
I am looking forward to transforming my body in the next 6 weeks. I am saying goodbye to the old me, to the person I have trouble looking at in the mirror. There is no looking back!
January 27, 2010 at 5:51 am |
Hi Everyone,
2010, WILL, be a fantastic year for everybody.i’m not doing the challenge for the money, i’m doing it for me, look after number 1, as they say.

January 27, 2010 at 7:17 am |
Hi Everyone,

January 27, 2010 at 8:33 pm |
Hi Lexxie
Still in need of a buddy you can contact me direct on pinkdiamond2109@gmail.com
January 29, 2010 at 7:58 am |
Gotcha 🙂 (And you can get me on lexxie@lexxiecouper.com)
Wow! Only two days to go! Have you taken you photo yet? (Took mine. Argh! LOL)
January 27, 2010 at 11:12 pm |
Hey BT/BS family,
its great to read all the positive attitudes you have towards embarking on the next step of your journeys. I am happy to buddy with anyone who needs some support, even though I am not doing this challenge, due to having my gall bladder out last monday. I have gone from 106.6 to 72 kgs (I am 5’4″) since last March on BT, and maintained it over the silly season. BT has changed my life, my health and most importantly my opinion of my self. I now feel good and look good, and when we believe in ourselves, we can do ANYTHING! I am looking forward to getting into BS in a month or so, and I am sure I will learn from all of you while I cheer you from the sidelines.
January 28, 2010 at 12:42 am |
NOOOooooooo, I finally picked up my body sculpt yesterday….was so excited about it, dying to use it and then a pulled a muscle in my back yesterday….. NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo, you will not beat me…. I’m taking back my life! HA!
January 29, 2010 at 7:59 am |
Oh, Tamster, that is horrible 😦 Have you got someone yummy to rub Deepheat into it? 🙂
(oh, and you can email me any time on lexxie@lexxiecouper.com)
January 28, 2010 at 6:09 am |
Hi everyone, I have just received my challenge info, and I am really looking forward too this. I just hope I can keep positive and not let myself down. I don’t have a buddy but I will be reading all your emails and I know that all of us will be their for each other. So.. here we go lots of weight too be be lost and oh what a beautiful body we shall have. Good Luck everyone
January 28, 2010 at 4:20 pm |
Hi all,
Good Luck to everyone in the challenge. I hope we are all successful in shedding those unwanted kilos. I’ll be finally taking my Bodysculpt out of its box to put it to good use. 🙂
January 28, 2010 at 11:11 pm |
Hi Challengers good luck to everyone.I am so looking forward to this for myself and for everyone I love in my life.BRING IT ON!!!!!!
January 28, 2010 at 11:57 pm |
At 48, with type 2 diabetes (insulin dependant), high blood pressure & bad knees, I decided Body trim sounded great for me. Changed my train of thought and walked while the kids were at their sports practices, but somehow a stressful interval in my life changed my priorities and it all fell apart. So, 2010 is going to be my year… while I don’t have a buddy, your comments have motivated me to accept the challenge, and a clean bill of health yesterday has set me up to eventually loose 25-30 kgs I’d love to drop. I have a supportive husband, but he’s happy with me as I am, so I really want to show him he can be proud of me as well as happy. Good luck everyone…
January 31, 2010 at 11:56 pm |
Hi Nicola,
email me at mctiger318@hotmail.com if you would like a buddy. I sent you a message but it came up as a new post instead of a reply to your post.
January 29, 2010 at 12:55 am |
Hi guys
The decision’s been made – Monday here we come! The ‘me’ I remember is going to be seen again in 2010!
My second child starts school in May, so the excuse in my head of ‘well I’ve just had kids’ is no longer valid, action needs to taken – and I’m getting quite excited.
If someone similar would like to keep in touch via email then let me know 🙂 I’m in NZ, about 74kg and aiming for low 60s.
Can’t wait for my BS to arrive as am looking forward to some good resistance work – that should scare any flab away!
Really excited to be able to follow all your successes.
January 29, 2010 at 1:28 am |
Hi Nicola,
I would be happy to be your buddy, we are the same age, and I too had high blood pressure, bad knees and was heading for Diabetes, before Bodytrim helped me change my life. My husband was also happy with the way I was, and used to “reward” me with chocolates. He has now finally got it, and instead bought me two green tree frogs as a reward for my exam results! Let me know if I can help you with this challenge.
January 29, 2010 at 2:19 am |
Hi
Can only send me the link to the Welcome Page as referred to below, I am having troubles finding the link.
Submit your photos and 2010 Challenge submission by the email link provided on the Welcome page on the BLOG or submit to Bodytrim by post no later than 5pm March 9th,
2010 (see rules & regulations).
Eagerly awaiting anyone’s help
Thanks Lisa
January 29, 2010 at 3:59 am |
I’m very much looking forward to getting stuck into this! No more excuses – we are a group with lots of positive energy to share with each other, here’s our opportunity to really make a difference.
I had a crap year last year, and this year is going to be the best – and this starts with feeling fantastic about myself and being happy from within. This in turn, makes the reflection in the mirror something to be proud of!
Bring it on I say!
My goal is to lose 10kgs by April 22.
Good luck everyone (and take that photo!)
January 29, 2010 at 5:28 am |
Getting photo today and hoping to get into the 80’s by the end of the challenge 96.5 today
January 29, 2010 at 6:45 am |
Hi guys, I am inspired after reading all of your comments, but I am also a little bit sad for all the people who are still buddy-less. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like support! You can never have too many friends and I go by the age old saying that a joy shared is a joy doubled and a burden shared is a burden halved.
I think if we can all band together as one big supportive group, then no one will get left behind (as geoff says) as we can all be there to support and encourage each other.
We deserve a better life!
Anyone who needs a buddy o pal, contact me on wordslikeforever@hotmail.com
January 29, 2010 at 10:33 am |
Hi Everyone
T
hanks for sharing your personal thoughts on the Challenge! I too, am excited about regaining my self-confidence. I have lost 6kgs on BT and have 4 to go! While it sounds like such a small amount of weight…..it seems really hard to get it off!! I am hoping that BS will help me lose the last of this weight.
I don’t have a buddy yet if anyone is still looking for some support!
I wish you all the very best on your personal journey and can’t wait to hear of your successes on this challemge.
~Alli~
January 29, 2010 at 11:15 pm |
Hi guys, I am looking forward to the next 6 weeks to really get me motivated. Have started BT a few times since I signed up. Have managed to lose 5kgs and gain 3 back again. I am 60 and weigh 113kgs. In October I will be ‘Mother of the Bride’ for the first time and I would truly love to lose as close to 40kgs as possible by then. I hate having my photo taken and it would really boost my confidence to feel comfortable about it. I would also like to inspire my daughter to lose a few kilos as well.
January 30, 2010 at 6:31 am |
Hi All (again!)
I do need a buddy….. my family is generally unsupportive when they know I am “actively” trying to loose weight, and so I have tended to keep what I’m doing as quite as possible at home. I do have a friend who is “dieting” she has opted for one of the shake replacement programs, but I would really prefer to have someone experiencing what I am to turn to if at all possible.
My email is: drtmr@tpg.com.au
Does anyone know if we need to do a 3 day detox b4 starting the program? I haven’t had a protein only day since before xmas, and suspect I am a little overloaded with CHOs.
CU
January 30, 2010 at 10:33 pm |
Good Morning Challengers,Hope everybody is pumped.I have just come off my 3 day protein days and I feel fantastic looking forward to my bodysculpt arriving this week.Kathleen you can contact me at lilycasa@bigpond.net.au.Stay focused!!!!!!!
February 1, 2010 at 11:58 am |
Peg & Kathleen sorry I didn’t get back in touch straight away. Had problems with my computer but all fixed now. My email is mirandawds@myway.com. Looking forward to encouraging each other. My bodysculpt has just arrived & will spend time now going through it.
January 31, 2010 at 3:03 am |
Firstly….Good Luck to everyone who is doing the 2010 challenge
I wrote my goals when i first watched the video.. but decided to post them here.. to put them out in the cyber universe..
My challenge goals are to
1) rewatch the DVD’s and read the book in the week preceeding challenge
2) become lighter at least 4-8kg within challenge. I would like to equate to at least 1 kg per week, however I understand that BSt is more about sculpt/chape/cm than kg…
3) therfore become smaller in the 6 weeks- take measurements, and photos
4) make the time to do the resistance bands 3 times per week
5) make concious effort to complete 10 000 steps, regardless of the other exercise completed.
6) enjoy the community challenge of the forum
Kris
January 31, 2010 at 8:43 am |
I want to achieve what I have done so before, but I have some how fallen from the wagon so to speak. I want to do my 10 000 steps each day, drink plenty of water and eat every 3 hours as I should. I am going to do my resistance bands 3 times a week also.
The trouble I have is the eating every 3 hours, I don’t know any good protien snacks and a bit over eggs, ham and bbq chicken.
So I hope the challenge can help me in some way to be more creative and interested in food. Because if I don’t feel like the basic protien snack I usually don’t eat or have something I shouldn’t.
Here’s to looking forward to learning even more from Geoff!
January 31, 2010 at 11:54 pm |
Hi Teresa,
I struggled with the snacks too, and agree that variety is the secret to success. I try not to repeat a snack in any one day, and have a few recipes that might help and some commercially available products that are handy to carry in your bag. Feel free to email me at mctiger318@hotmail.com if you would like details.

Hi Teresa- You could try making up batches of little meatballs (chicken, beef or pork mince- whatever you like) and adding your favourite herbs or seasonings (my faves are chicken with Chinese five spice and chilli flakes or lamb with fresh mint). They are quite economical- mince is relatively cheap.
Hang in there!
February 1, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Thank you Mandy I will try that. MIght get cooking today so they are ready for my snacks. 😉

Hi everyone, have had some success with BT, have been and will continue to visualise with feeling everyday where I want to be at the end of the challenge. I’m not so worried about the number of Kgs I want to lose (5 would be good) but more the change of body shape. Have taken photos and measurements and will keep using the resources provided with BS. Will have interstate visitors a couple of times during the challenge so will need to have my days well planned to stay on track. My buddy is very supportive and I will encourage and support her too. I’ll be taking it a day at a time and using my BS diary to keep me accountable! Good luck everyone. Remember “if it is to be, it is up to me”

Cannot open link for this week which should be av today, HELP
February 1, 2010 at 4:03 am |
Jane, dont worry either can I. I cant open the blogs either. Looks like it is a problem with the website.
BTW…I am confused with the application form. It says to submit by 9 March 2010??
February 1, 2010 at 3:07 am |
no i don’t think any of us can until it turns blue .or is there a new email i have not yet received…

Hi,
I’ve been a BT follower from the begining, however start off well and then let life get in the way. I need the motivational support and to be accountalbe to someone!! I know the system works for my body and enjoy the programme. Just don’t seem to keep motivated. let the social life get in the way too much. Find the Free days spiril out of control.
Goals
To put all the knowledge into action.
Get organised! Plan Ahead.
10,00 Steps a day (everyday)
Drink lots of water. (Never been good at).
Stay FOCUS!!!!
Need to lose 20+ Kgs. Would like to lose 10 in next 6 weeks.
Would enjoy support and encourgement from other members. Have walking buddy for two days a week, but like to have contact with other memebers.
Good luck everyone!
February 1, 2010 at 3:54 am |
After a lifetime of growing and shrinking and growing again, I wish BT had been around when I was in my 30s instead of my 60s. But now I’m determined to get those last 5 kilos off (again!) where I know I am more comfortable in my clothes and with myself. I’m finding the water consumption and getting all those steps in a bit of a challenge but will be working particularly hard to make it happen over the next 6 weeks.
Would love to have a buddy contact if there’s anyone out there. I live in a remote area so can’t always get the food Geoff recommends but am really excited by the extent and variety of the foods included – and I can still be losing weight! Avoiding the temptation of a couple of glasses of wine most nights is my biggest hurdle.
I’m also really inspired by reading everyone’s comments. As intended, there is nothing like sharing. Good luck to each and every one of you!
February 1, 2010 at 4:19 am |
Fran
Your comments are so similar to my experience too.
Have had great results with BT but I got slack and have put on weight again, so I am looking forward to getting back into it and seeing what BodySculpt can do for me.
Good luck everyone
February 1, 2010 at 6:38 am |
I have been low-carbing for 12 months now- so I know how fantastic & energised this lifestyle makes you feel. But to shift the lard, in find I need Bodysculpt to give me the structure of portion size & meal frequency- that’s what makes so much difference!
I will be counting my steps & observing the 3 hour rule.
I am not going to set a “magic number” of kgs to lose- I have found that when eating low carb & doing resistance training, your muscle mass is preserved (unlike old-fashioned starvation diets), so my concept of what constitutes my “ideal weight” has changed.
I will persevere until I have to take those jeans to the tailor!!
Good luck everyone- go for it!!!
February 1, 2010 at 6:43 am |
Hey everyone 🙂
Congrats on taking this step – here’s to a really successful, fun challenge & keeping one another motivated.
I am buddy-less and would love some encouragement. I’m also finding it hard to know where to start, I came in late on all the info & original emails about the Challenge, as I’ve been away travelling – but I want to get started now TODAY and get into it. Where do I even begin?
Have had some moderate success with BT and know that if I apply everything fully, that the full success will come.
Best wishes to you all and I hope to hear from some of you so I can put these words into action.
Cheers
Lise 🙂
February 1, 2010 at 7:03 am |
I think I did this earlier, but can’t seem to find it, maybe i mixed it up somehow. Anyway, my aim is to stay on the bodysculpt religiously for the next 6 weeks, make it to the 60’s, have my jeans fall of and most of all, be proud of my committment and achievements.
Good luck all 🙂
February 1, 2010 at 8:05 am |
I am aiming to lose 50+ kilos. I hope to lose up to 3 kgs a week. anything over is a bonus. When I first started bodytrim I lost 7.5kgs in the first week. So I am hoping that I can do the same or better with this challenge!
February 1, 2010 at 9:47 am |
I’m so excited to start this today! I order BS on Tuesday but I am still waiting for it to come in the mail everyday so until them I am just having to stick to my BT program!
I just had a question about the Official Rules because I am a little confused. It says that ‘”The 2010 Challenge will run from February 1st to March 28th and All entries must be received by 5pm, March 9th, 2010″. However March 9th is only 5 weeks after it has started not 6?
Is this definately correct?
Please tell me if I am missing something!
February 2, 2010 at 12:05 am |
Wow!! Reading all these stories are amazing, you think you are the only person who has a problem with dieting, losing weight all the time there are hundreds of us out there with the same problem, fighting the weight battle. I am blown away by the stories that have been written applying myself to each and everyone of them. I am have over weight since I had my first child when I was a young 17 year old and now turning 41 next week I have slowly but surely continuously put on a little bit of weight over the years and weighed 110kg when I started BT. It has been a huge break through after being on other diets and yoyoing around with weight. Since starting BT I have lost 16kg and are now 94kg and it was so easy. I can’t wait to add the next step with BS and see the fast track results and its like Geoff says 2010 is my year. I am looking for a buddy also, do pretty well by myself but other support is very motivating. Good luck with your endeavours everyone!!
February 2, 2010 at 2:06 am |
I feel like I’m behind already – didn’t receive my first lesson and am now playing catch up. Don’t have a buddy yet but am hoping someone will take pity on me 🙂
Looking forward to the challenge and some major changes
February 2, 2010 at 3:46 am |
Hi everyone, I have great news for ll those people who are either buddy-less, or also for people like myself who just really love making new friends. I have just set up a facebook group called
Body Trim and Body Sculpt Buddies
You can go here as well to meet new people, make buddies, share your stories and motivation and support each other through this journey.
I ws sad to see so many people trying to go the journey alone, so hopefully this will help us all to network and connect. It is only a new group (I just clicked create five seconds ago) so your support would be appreciated.
Come on over and say hello, and tell anyone else who is doing BT or BS at the moment! Cheers
February 2, 2010 at 7:09 am |
Great idea Tamster. It does not come up when I search the Facebook groups, can you send me a link?
February 2, 2010 at 10:47 am
I am not sure why, but it seems to come up for some and not for others. Try this link and let me know if it works…. I am not very technologically minded, so I truly hope this doesnt send you to argentina, but Ill give it my best shot, lol

Hey Tamster,
Fantastic
THANK YOU!
Paul
February 2, 2010 at 10:50 am |
Hi Paul! Thnks for your support. I wasnt sure if people would be interested, but I knew it would help me out a great deal nd I knew there were a lot of people who didnt have buddies so I thought it would be a fantastic way to network, join buddies, make new friends and fight the flab as one big team.
I firmly believe that you are only as strong as your weakest link. This fcebook group has the ability to keep everyone one of us strong!
February 2, 2010 at 6:52 am |
Hi Tamster great idea using Facebook the more the merrier to help us all along. Nobody needs to go it alone, I couldn’t have asked for a more inspirational bunch of people to keep me on track.
February 2, 2010 at 7:17 am |
Me again Tamster Group not coming up on Facebook search will you send link please
February 2, 2010 at 10:45 am |

February 2, 2010 at 11:54 am |
Hi all, I’m still unsure as to what I have to do with this challenge or if I’ve missed the start but guess will find out in the next videos. I am getting married in Oct and would really like to lose 10kg to get me into the 60’s. I have been doing BT on and off for quite a while now. My first attempt I lost about 5 kg (3 in the first 3 protein only days) but each time I go off it I feel like I plateau at 2kg heavier than before. So I’m a bit stuck! Bought BS when it first came out on special but wasn’t really in the right frame of mind or physically up to it (I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which makes it hard to do lots of exercise) but I thought I’d give this challenge a whirl as it might give me a motivational boost. My partner works in another city at the moment so I can’t use him as an excuse for not doing it! Hopefully in 6 weeks he will see a new me (which will then look FABULOUS in a wedding dress – when I find one!). Ok, I’ll stop raving now… maybe see you on Facebook as I don’t have a buddy.
February 4, 2010 at 1:04 am |
Good luck with it all Annie. I lost 5kg on Bodytrim and then hit a plateau too. Got lazy with the protein snacks not knowing what to eat other than deli meat and boiled eggs got a bit boring. If I make a variety of different ones I find it helps me eat the every 3 hours. I don’t have a buddy either and unsure of the challenge. I don’t have too much time to sit at the computer reading everyones blogs but when I do its very interesting. Hope to talk to you again soon to see how you are doing.
February 3, 2010 at 12:10 am |
Starting the challenge on Sunday 7th February! Have not used bodyscupt before. This is a new beginning! Good Sucess to everyone!
goals: lose 6kg
exercise according to prog every day
Get with the strength!
February 3, 2010 at 1:05 am |
CHANGE OF PLANS! I saw my GP and physio and because I have had a total shoulder replacement, and two partial knee replacements am not able to use bodyscupt bands epoc system.
SO – I am doing the challenge on Bodytrim.
Goals the same -goals: lose 6kg
exercise according to prog every day
Get with the strength!
A shame but that’s life!
February 3, 2010 at 3:07 am |
Just doing bodytrim myself as new to plan and not ready to add body sculpt just yet. Only using the 10,000+ steps each day and also hoping this will be enough to drop the kilo’s. Good luck.
February 3, 2010 at 2:38 am |
I started on Monday 1 Feb, but as yet haven’t posted my starting details….so here they are.
Weight – 61.3kg
Waiste – 77.5cm
Hips – 90cm
Chest – 89.5cm
Thigh – 52cm (I can’t wait till they don’t rub together!!!)
Butt – 94cm
ANd I have taken the before photo and went to print it out and the USB connection on my computer decided to play up. SO I am off to the photo shop on Friday to get it printed out – tht will scare them.
I had an AMAZING EPOC session this morning. Feel totally pumped from it. Have some buddies I am emailing that I have hooked up with from the forum and we are all encouraging each other. The support on offer is amazing. Bring it on. I have some MAJOR fat to lose.
THanks Geoff and everyone else for the inpsiration.
February 3, 2010 at 5:38 am |

Would love to be your buddy! I don’t have one yet. I have just finished week 3. Let me know if you’re interested.
Kind Regards
Melissa
February 22, 2010 at 10:53 pm |
I am 34 and a mother of 4, live on a cattle station in a remote area in North Queensland, have followed BT since March last year and lost 11kg on that still had 17kgs to go before I started this challenge 3 weeks ago now I have 13.1kgs to go. Was hoping someone would like to buddy up with me. Hope you are all doing really well with the challenge and those jeans are starting to fall down!
Good luck for week 4, Melissa
February 23, 2010 at 7:16 am |
Hi Melissa I would be more than happy to buddy up with you. I have only been on BT for 5 weeks and so far all going well. Having been overweight most of my adult life I feel i have finally found an eating plan that suits me and also brings results. We have only been in Australia for 2 years and just moved from QLD to Sydney and don’t really have any family or friends here so it would be great to have another online buddy. Check us out on Facebook too under Bodytrim and Bodysculpt Buddies or email me direct on pinkdiamond2109@gmail.com if you would like to.
March 3, 2010 at 9:02 pm |
