    • Lindy Rattigan Says:

      Simple really.
      I dropped over half of my goal (14kgs) over the first 6 months of Bodytrim…. and I LOVE ME NOW. I can look in the mirror with pride. But I’m still a work in progress – even though I’ve been able to “control” that weight since then.
      It’s time to be accountable, ramp up the effort and get going again.
      I WILL take the Start Photo today to remind me of the past…. something that won’t be visited again!
      I WILL aim for 10,000 steps daily!
      I WILL follow the Bodysculpt program!
      I WILL record my progress to help me in times of need.
      I WILL remain positive and not make excuses.
      I WILL SUCCEED.

      • MARILYN MARCH Says:

        Hi Lindy
        Your blog echoes exactly what I wanted to say!!!!
        Bought BS when first released last year, then broke 5 ribs + crshed ligament in my back – stupid accidents at home) & BS was left hanging on a hook in the hall.
        Now thanks to Geoffro and all the great BT comumnity I am going to totally embrace this challenge.
        * Get involved in the forums and all blogs available as well as the obvious goals.
        *Get involved in the chat line and hopefully be able to motivate others with my success along the way.
        Lindy, I know you will succeed and I am going to be there right along the way too.
        Good luck to EVERYONE who has taken the time to embrace Geoff’s hardwork and his latest challenge – bring on the next 42 days and we will all be proud of our successes no matter how big or small.
        Today my life is changing fof the better and I am never going to have to look back so far am my renewed self esteem and body weight/transformation is concerned.
        I don’t mind having to buy another new wardrobe of clothes – small price to pay for health & happiness with myself.
        Lose 17kgs to my goal of 50kgs, but just as importantly (to me) achieve the total body transformation I am now hungrier than ever to achieve and wipe out the last 26 years of being overweight and unfit!!!!

        ***I WILL WIN THE BATTLE WITH MYSELF THIS TIME
        FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE TO BE FIT, HEALTHY AND IN CONTROL OF MY WEIGHT ( & LOOK FEEL FABULOUS AS A RESULT**********

    • Rina Says:

      My aim is to lose 6kg during the challenge.
      Would like to go visit that shop again where the shop assistant won’t let me try that dress because she thought it won’t fit.

    • Joanne Says:

      I will make the change required to ‘finally’ achieve the change I have always wanted.
      I will devour Geoff’s advice and put it into practice every minute of every day.
      I will not fail this time.
      I will learn how to maintain my progress.
      I will be proud and smiling for myself in 42 days.

    • Karrismum Says:

      Ok, I don’t want a transformation, I don’t think I can sustain that in the long run at 37 (38 in April) with child and full time job…. but by 38 I would like to not be bloated, I would like to not have flabby arms and I would like to not be fatigued.. That is my goal. I am also a vego which always makes BT a difficult challenge for me…. here goes…

    • Angie Newman Says:

      I have taken my Start Photo
      I WILL lose 5kgs but try to lose 8kgs to reach my goal.
      I already do 10,000 steps/day and drink 2-3L of water, so I will continue to do this.
      I will tone up and lose my tuck-shop lady arms and my jelly belly.
      I will be a size 12, a long stretch from the size 20 that I started out at in September 2009.
      I will be even more addicted to my new lifestyle than I am already!!!

    • Louise Hayden Says:

      NO MORE EXCUSES!! I thought I had my way out of the challenge because of injuries sustained from a car accident but I’m sick of doing this to myself – I want what others are now enjoying from sticking with the bodytrim/bodysculpt program – so, I will adapt the exercises but I can do everything else.
      I WILL follow all the bodytrim/bodysculpt rules every day and I will become the person I have wanted to be for so long in 2010!!
      A voice in my head just asked “What the hell am I doing?” I just said “Oh, SHUT UP”!!

    1) Complete my 3 weekly BodySculpt 20 minute sessions on Monday, Wednesdays and Friday mornings before work

    Hi Geof and Chris.
    I have been in Sth Africa for 8 weeks, was maintaining before leaving,was a bit concerned about keeping weight the same.I ended up loosing another 3 kilo’s without particularly watching my eating.Mainly because Sth Africans are big meat eaters and low on carbs.Short on fresh greens,fruit etc unfortunately where we were staying with friends.

    I kept up my walking daily 4 k’s daily, failed in usual water intake.
    I have just read about the Body Sculpt challenge. I don’t know about the weight loss, but do need to firm my body as I have lots of wrinkley skin on arms and a bit of fold in tummy where I have lost the weight.

  23. Megan Brown Says:

    I want to be well on my way to loosing my goal of 20kg by the end of the 2010 challenge. I have been doing bodytrim for a week now. although i havent lost any weight as yet i am committed to this program and changing my lifestyle. These changes have been variously challenging but exciting over the last week but i am now more aware of having to eat more (within 3 hours & the right foods) and also to move more – something that i am still finding hard because of time restrictions, particularly when i am working as i spend 2 hours in the car, and sit in an office answering calls or researching how to help a caller. I am about to have my photo taken and i hope and pray that the photo taken at the end of the challenge is well on the way to achieving (somewhere in the ballpark of) my pre baby body! i understand and accept that it will never be the same but i cannot accept that this is the way it has to stay! I would be grateful for any extra tips as i’m sure my metabolism is shot and it will be hard slog returning it to a more normal function.

      1. Lose the 5kg or more;) during challenge.
      2. Walk every arv – that is a definite – used to do it all the time but when child number 3 cam along and a huge move I just never got back into it and am now finding harder than ever.
      3. Do body sculpt sessions Mon, Wed, Fri. This should be interesting – I travel heaps for work and often find it hard to keep BT going when away from home.
      4. I want to wear swimmers this year without feeling that I need to put on shorts or a top. I want to be a yummy mummy that my kids will feel happy to be with and never embarrased.

      Cant wait for those jeans to fall off – it will be great 😉

    • Tula Says:

      Hi

      I have a very similiar goal at the end of the challenge: to weigh 65 KG too. I have been pretty good over the last two weeks (maybe a little too many fat snacks). I started at 72Kg and will have my first weigh in this sunday. Was wondering how you are doing?

  30. Amanda Grundy Says:

    Hi Guys!
    Game on! Fighting words from a 51 year old with 20 k to loose. I am so excited to be taking part in the challenge. No more loosing the same 10 k over and over again. This is it! I WILL loose 8 k in 6 weeks, get back into my favorite jeans and finally get some strategies into place to stop myself from slipping back into the same old bad habits. I have done two workouts already and can’t believe that’s all there is to it. I am a chef and so struggle to get to a gym as well as completing my 10000 steps. I am pumped to be able to work out at home whenever it suits me – even I struggle to find an excuse for not dedicating 20 min 3 times a week to changing my life.

  31. Sandra Says:

    2. Never go longer than 3 hrs between meals by having appropriate snacks on hand or with me.

    4. To do the bodysculpt sessions on Mon, Wed & Friday mornings before taking the kids to school.
    5. To look at myself and like what I see.
    6. To enjoy life with my family.

    6) Drink a black coffee or green tea before every BodySculpt session

  35. Geoff Jowett Says:

    Also remember that the 2010 Challenge is like no other Challenge before it. I must stress that it is not really a Challenge in the usual sense of the word- It is not all about who can beat who BUT it’s more about placing you in the right environment for change.

    Giving you the ability to connect with likeminded people around you, so as buddies we can all support each other- with the goal of helping everyone get across the line.

    We’re all in it together!!

  36. Kristy Says:

  38. Tina Says:

    I am going away for 9 days during the challenge,so that will be a challenge in itself,trying to not eat what everyone else is eating.
    I hope to lose 6 kilos in the 6 weeks.I need to get motivated.I lost 22 kilos in 4 months,then got off track in August due to a family tragedy and have since gained 5 kilos.
    I haven’t yet got a buddy,so I will have to get my husband to be on my back to keep me going.Wish me luck.I think the hardest thing is going to have to give up my free day,that is why I haven’t had the will to start Bodysculpt yet,which I bought months ago.So here goes!

    I just got my bodysculpt parcel, I did my photo, OMG I never want to look like this EVER EVER AGAIN!! Geoff was right, doing that step has a huge reality factor to it, and changed my thinking instantly, I took more photo’s from every angle and just sat with, looking at them, for about an hour, it all hit me, how I got to where I’m at right now, why I’m here, and how grateful I feel to Geoff and the team, for their inspiration, encouragement, tools, insight, I can feel my thinking changing, my motivation, my drive, my willingness, now, to be the best me I can be, it’s long overdue, this will be the best year of my life, I’m going to make sure of that.

Hope to lose at least 6kgs during the 6 weeks.
    Good luck everyone.

  49. Deanne Baum Says:

    The Bodysculpt kit arrived today.
    Not only do I want and need to transform myself mentally and physically in 42 days but I am committing myself to it right here and now and will faithfully follow it for each and every one of those 42 days.

    It is after all only 42 days.

    My calendar is marked and I am ready. I feel Geoff’s motivation and what do I have to lose?

    Only weight that is bogging me down physically and mentally.

    I PLAN to achieve a weight loss of between 10 – 15 kg in these 42 days.

  52. Pauline Says:

    I have been on and off the body trim plan since May 09. With holidays and away a bit I lost the sight of where I was heading.
    Since the 11th of January 2010 I have made it my goal to do this and stick at it regardless of where I will be, whether away or home. So far I have lost 2.5k. I plan to continue this by:
    1) Continuing my walking 1hr every morning before work, weather permiting. Keeping it up to or over the 10,000 steps.
    2) Drink the 2-3ltrs water throughout the day.
    3) Make sure I take my BS with me when I am away from home.
    4) Get my work mates to keep me accountable for my actions and on track.
    If I can do this I am well and truly on my way to a better and healthier life than what I am at the moment.
    Cheers and all the best to a healthier and leaner 2010.

  54. Chrissie Says:

    I HAVE HAD IT!!! Had it with tight pants, had it with bugling muffin tops, no energy, negative body image, getting dressed as far away from the mirror as I can. In 6 weeks I want to wear the beautiful Italian linen pants I bought in Rome 2/12 years ago. In 6 weeks I want to bounce out of bed and finally feel good about my body again instead of being disgusted by it. I’M IN!!!

  62. Meredith Says:

    OK – I’ve never blogged before but here goes. This is only the start of my second week on Bodytrim (this time, yes, I have tried and gave up 3 other times) and this week lost 2.7kg…terrific but THIS time is different. I have a new found determination from watching and listening to Geoff. Game on!!! I plan to lose 5 kg during the challenge and then continue on to lose the rest of the weight which has been hanging around for years. No more excuses – my knee has decided to pack it in at the same time I re-started Bodytrim and let’s face it, it’s because I have been carrying around too much weight on it. So, off it comes (my weight, not my knee!!).
    Bring it on!! Thanks Geoff.

  63. Alex Says:

    Start the body sculpt,
    Break current plateau (went from 105 to 88 kilos
    now stuck at 90 after xmas)
    Get to next goal of 83 kilos
    Eventually to 80 and stay there.

  64. robyn Says:

    My sons engagement, my daughters wedding and my 50th birthday….this is my year to look my best for the photos to be taken for the most wonderful occasions in my family…..just received my Bodysculpt kit….ripped open the packaged and I am EXCITED.
    All the best to everyone.
    Thank you for your devotion Geoff and for always thinking of us and wanting to genuinely help all of us who have struggled.

  65. Cate Says:

    My goals for the 6 week challenge are:-
    1. To stay focused on being 100 % compliant with the BST food – my challenge is to leave the nuts alone on non-jumpstart days…
    2. No weight loss – but want to get rid of the last bodyfat – all on my thighs.
    3. The steps and bands are no problem – I enjoy them and always reach the 10 000 steps.
    4. Ensure the 3 hr rule is strictly adhered to.
    5. No alcohol for 6 weeks and definately no grainwaves (my 2 temptations) apart from the nuts..
    6. To FINALLY have a body that I can be proud of in bikinis with no lumpy bits ..

    Good luck to everyone!!

  66. Amanda Says:

    Just started with Bodytrim a week ago, lost 2.4kgs in the first week and only have 2 kgs more to lose. Started this lifestyle to have the strength and happiness to live well and keep up with my busy world. I am looking to have a bikini body like Lara Bingle, anything is possible. Now just have to learn to love going for a walk and actually getting off my butt and doing the bodysculpt sessions. Challenge on!!!!

  67. Kim B Says:

    4. Show others that the Bodytrim/Sculpt is the answer to their weight/lifestyle problems by leading by example.

    5. Keep setting achievable goals well after the six weeks (life long).

  78. Melissa Edwards Says:

    Hi Everyone,
    First of all good luck and happy losing during this challenge.
    I walk and drink 2-3lts everyday , i am getting really lazy with my eating so that will be my main focus over the next 42 days.I also need to get on the bands 3 x week ( im not doing them properly as it hurts my neck advise would be good).
    I WILL lose between 6-8kgs during this challenge.
    In the words of Leyton Hewitt – COME ON
    MEL

  79. Narelle Says:

    Here I go….
    Lose at least 10kg in preparation of a knee operation that will render me completely imobile for approx 9 weeks and recovery of 12 months.
    Keep the weight off during recovery period
    stick to my eating plan
    no cheating
    Jeans – I don’t have any that fit comfortably – so soon I will!!
    Tone up to what I used to be pre children and stay there….

  80. Mary Says:

    Well I am hoping to loose 6kg in the challenge and drop a whole size!!

  81. Suzanne M Says:

    Hi Geoff and Chris,
    I started BT in OCt 2009 and lost 6 of the 10 kgs I wanted to loose before facing 2 operations a month apart in Nov and Dec. Luckily haven’t put much back on but was feeling despondant and bored with the physical restrictions following the surgery so decided I wouldn’t take up the challenge. After reading all the comments and and alsogetting the ecouraging comments from my paartner I decided I would be a fool not to give it a go, it will just depend on my surgeon on how physical I can be. Following the rest is a piece of cake and I realised I definitely want the new body I promised myself for 2010.
    Thanks everyone for the encouraging remarks.

  82. jane Says:

  85. Vix Says:

    Im doing the challenge to get more active and to try and get under the 100kg mark. I been getting alot of support from my fiance and from reading posts and blogs, seeing other peoples plans gets me even more motivated.

    2. drinking 2-3L of water

  86. Michael Says:

    Still waiting for my Bodyscult kit to arrive; but I’m really looking forward to it. In the next 6 weeks I need to set myself a really big goal so my target is to lose a minimum of 3 kgs per week totalling 18 for the challenge. I’ve taken 2 photos – one front on and one from the side (don’t really want to look at them – they are horrible). I lost a little focus last year – but not this year. My buddy is my wife and we are both very determined to achieve our goals together. They are written down and on the mirror so I have to look at and read them everyday.

  87. Tony Curl Says:

    What an amazing response to this challenge. Just cannot wait to see how everyone progresses with it.

    My goals for the challenge are:
    1. Don’t allow a hectic work schedule to get in the way of my daily compliances. Water, steps, three hour rule.
    2. Get my weight below 80kg for the first time I can remember
    3. Reduce waist size further.
    4. Increase shoulder and arm tone. (I want to earn the right to wear a singlet or muscle top)
    5. Increase chest size, which along with reduction in waist will head me towards that V shape, I want.
    6. Finally, NO ALCOHOL for six weeks.

    There we go, Curly is on record for the challenge.

    Have fun everyone, and the best of success for everyone.

    Cheers Curly

  88. Pamela Gonzalez Says:

    Hi Everyone!
    I am really eager to start the BodySculpt challenge, as I am so tired of carrying this extra 8kgs around! I put it on due to medications and treatment for breast cancer, and the doctors told me it would be hard to lose because these things messed up my system. BUT I am going to prove them wrong! I am going to give this challenge all my energy and enthusiasm and get myself back to looking and feeling great again!!!
    Thanks Geoff and Team for the opportunity and support.

    A little nervous but 100% committed. My goals are to lose 10kg and to feel fitter and healthier again. Remember to eat (let alone eat every 3 hours), not to let work interfere with looking after myself and my health. Remember to do some exercise everyday even if I have to get out of bed at 4.30am to do so (make time for me). Give 100% this to receive a 100% back and to make this a life long practice.

  123. TRICIA Says:

    just started body sculpt 2 days ago and i feel better already my biggest challenge is not the no carbs as I can cope with this my biggest challenge is to eat the good leafy vegies as i really really do not like them and have tried to eat them for the past 50 years unsuccesfully.
    I also do not like cheese in any form or oils/dressings hence any tips I can be given will be a help.
    I also wish to loose 10 kgs in the near future and be fit and healthy
    Will body sculpt 3 times per week
    Will continue to walk 50 min /day .
    Will remember to drink those 2lt aday
    This is it the hardest eating regime I have ever embarked on

  124. Reety Says:

    Thanks Geoff, Chris and the Team, you are always inspiring. I don’t have a lot to lose, started at nearly 59kg four months ago and am now at 56kg with steady, gentle working while caring for an ill husband and running my B&B. But being only 152cm tall it all makes a lot of difference.
    So my small goal while taking hubby for new chemo sessions, is to continue to my final weight and lose another 2 kg. An end weight of 54kg should be healthy for my size and age of 62.
    Many Thanks.

  133. Jan Jezeph Says:

    I won’t be taking part in the challenge as at almost 70 yrs old it is enough of a challenge for me to learn to use bodysculpt……have completed my first session but got a bit over exuberant & have found muscles I didn’t know I had !!! Ouch !!! Will take it a bit easier I think.
    I have had terrific success with bodytrim so ,in time,hope to tone up a bit with bodysculpt.Thanks guys !

    Game on –
    at 30 years of age i still struggle to lose weight and moreso talk to anyone about it! In the 6 weeks of this challenge i will – stick strictly to the bodytrim and bodysculpt programs and choose a friend to have as my support – to remind me when i fall off the wagon, someone to remind me of my bigger picture and goals. my main goal though no matter how much weight i lose is to gain enough confidence in myself to continue on beyond the challenge, so to all my fellow competitors good luck!!!

  136. Tammie Dunn Says:

  137. Judy Beyer Says:

    Turning 50 this year and wanting to look good in photos. Spent a lot of time in the gym, and obsessing over food trying to lose weight & tone up. I only need to lose 5kgs in reality, but having suffered anorexia & bulimia years ago as a result of a diet that went “wrong” I don’t manage too well when I look at my “eating disorder recovered body” and see flab creeping in with middle age. Hormones, etc are working against me and doing intense work outs & resorting to bad habits has not helped me lose any weight in a year after putting on another 4kgs after “the female op!” I read your advert & took the chance and even stopped going to the gym to see, and I am amazed I have dropped at least an half inch in each of my measurements and 2.5kgs in weight in 2 weeks. Body Sculpt I hope will assist in toning up, I was once 110kgs and lost over half my weight with “A/B”, but I have learnt more about food and managing it since joing BT so thanks heaps. I am 18kgs heavier but healthier since recovering from A/B but as said want to lose 5kgs & tone up.

  138. Rosa RML Says:

    I have 20 Kgs to lose and am sick of losing 10kg and putting them back on. I have just taken a photo and all I wanted to do was delete it.
    My gouas

    2) drink 2-3L of water
    3) Lose at least 5kgs during the challenge
    4) follow 3 hour rule
    5) plan meals better
    6) 10,000 steps daily

    I not only want to look good but i also want to feel good again. I want to be happy with who I am and I don’t want to hold myself or family back in life because I feel paranoid about being overweight.
    I’m going to give everything i’ve got and loose 8 kilos!!

  166. sharon Says:

    I need to commit to myself. I need to believe in myself.
    I will pay attention to me and
    a) exercise
    b) stick to drinking water
    c) treat myself to real food
    d) trust what I can do for myself

  167. Brian Stewart Says:

    After being privileged to be selected in last February’s Top 10 and meeting all those wonderful people, including those responsible for changing my life, I feel I have let the side (and myself) down to a certain degree. Although I am lighter than when I attended the event in Sydney, I have not been very BT compliant for a number of reasons, none of which are a good enough excuse. I did not reach my personal goals during the year. I have been 95% compliant since the start of January and am nearly at my lightest BT weight and this challenge is just the right thing to spur me on to new heights. For a number of reasons I will be officially commencing the challenge on Monday 8th Feb.

    With this in mind I have set the following Bodysculpt goals.
    1. Be compliant – with food and portion sizes.
    2. Lose a minimum 6kg during the 42 days.
    3. Make a visually noticeable difference to my stomach and love handles
    4. Learn how to and then complete a blog (in case anyone else is
    interested in my plight)
    5. Be in the best possible shape for my 40th on April 2.

    GOOD LUCK TO ALL – LETS GET-ER DONE!!!!

  168. Miztaken Says:

    – I WILL get enough sleep.
    – I WILL do my knee physio EVERY day.
    – I WILL work back up to walking every day again (and wear pedometer to ensure daily steps are increasing).
    – I WILL use my “fit massage” machine every day (good for knee).
    – I WILL have my food prepared so that I can eat/snack 3+3.
    – I WILL add Bodysculpt back into my weekly routine.

  169. Annie Slattery Says:

    My goals for the 42 day challenge:

    1. Be 100% compliant to the advanced weight loss eating plan

    2. I will not drink alcohol for the 6 weeks (which will be a challenge as I have 4 21st’s!)

    3. I will get that super super flat, tight stomach I have always wanted!

    4. I will weigh in below 60kgs and try to get my fat % down below 18%

    5. I will complete my sculpt bands Mon/Weds/Fri before work and after a black coffee

    6. I will drink 3L of water everyday!

    7. I will embrace the 6 week challenge and tell everyone I’m doing it!!!

  170. Helen Scaysbrook Says:

    My goal is to become really focussed and make this program work for me.

  171. Margaret Stanley Says:

    I have a special date in May with my 8yr old son. I am sick of being the “nice” mum which basically means overweight mum. I have seen many people transform their lives and I will be one of these. I have lost many times with BT but lost focus and eventually went back to my old ways. NOW is the time. Thanks to Geoff for this great challenge.
    My promise to myself, family and everyone taking up the challenge:
    I will lose 5kgs
    Drink more water
    Follow BS to the letter
    Do my workouts Mon, Wed, Fri
    Keep checking online to keep me focused.

  172. brian Says:

    I am a bit shy about posting my thoughts but here goes. I will do my best to lose weight during the six weeks. I will try and stay motivated by logging on and listening to others.Hey , i will give it my best shot.

  173. Heather Says:

    I have been too big for toooo long. I intend to adhere to the bodytrim program adding bodysculpt so I can hold my head high feeling good about the way I look at my daughters graduation from the Police Academy in 3 months time. Thanks for the help, the inspiration, the encouragement. You’d think at 56 years of age I’d have worked out how to manage my life … in most other cases … but not my weight.

  174. kim Says:

  175. Irene Says:

    I am really positive about this challenge. After doing Bodytrim and understanding that process and why it works, I have now taken the next step of purchasing Bodysculpt. Geoff has explained everything perfectly on the DVD’s and I understand the process to achieve my goal of getting under 70kgs and hopefully improving the tuckshop arms. I look forward to achieving my goal.

I will drink 2-3litres of water everyday and I will not go longer than three hours without eating. Right now its time to take my start photo and find that pair of jeans.

  178. Maggie Says:

    I have lost an incredible 25kg in 21 weeks so far, I have another 20kg to go, I am going to push myself even harder than before. I am already reeping the rewards of loosing 25kg. I feel healthier and don’t have all the aches and pains I had 21 weeks ago. I am so determined to never go back to being fat. Doing the challenge will help me get closer to my goal weight. I need to say thanks a million to Geoff for Bodytrim and Bodysculpt it has changed my life and I feel alive and great.

  179. Denise Bartlett Says:

  184. Christine S Says:

    I am going to take full advantage of the opportunity to have Geoff as my personal trainer for the 42 day challenge.
    I agree with Geoff that New Years resolutions made in January don’t work or at least not for me.
    February challenge – now that got my attention.
    Looking forward to the 42 days of challenges and my goal is to lose
    “6 in 6”.
    This is going to be my mini olympics so let the games begin.

  185. Donna Says:

    I’m excited to give this a go….have lost with BT ,but put a little back on over the festive season. I am going overseas on March 19th, so won’t be here for the full challenge period. However, in the time I have available I promise myself to drink the water EVERYDAY, do the workouts, walk the steps required and more if possible, and lose 4-5kgs.

  186. Julie Molloy Says:

    I did BT last year and lost my 5kg goal but I have swayed to the chips and dips etc over the summer months. I am looking forward to doing the challange and losing my 5kgs again. Most of all I am looking forward to the body sculpting sessions. Things I have to focus on is
    1. DRINK WATER

We are hoping to go sailing in the Whitsunday’s later this year and to feel comfortable in my swimmers is something that will keep me motivated. I’ve been doing BodyTrim now for 2 weeks and have lost 2.5kg. I’m very pleased with that – that means only 12.5 to go!!!! In the 6 weeks I hope to lose 5kg and am looking forward to adding in the toning exercises with BS. I’m off now to take my photo in by big comfy jeans!! Good luck all.

  198. JM2010 Says:

    All right – I had a bad day at work, got the 2010 Challenge email, and figured, this is it!!! My hubby has agreed to do this with me too, so we are both just waiting for our BudySculpt packages to arrive. My main goal for the next six weeks is to lose as much weight as I can, and then keep going until I hit my goal weight. I’ve never been good at doing this on my own, so lets see how I go with this. I’ve seen the ads for losing 5 kgs in 11 days – lets see how I go in 42 days.

  199. Kim Says:

    As I say goodbye to the 42nd day I will be feeling
    1) A sense of accomplishment, proud and more confident with the magnetic woman looking back at me from the mirror
    2) I will be saying “I did it” and looking forward with excitement and gusto as I expediently approach my goal to being the best I can be, have ever been in body, mind and soul
    3) I will be accountable for my life long dream by maintaining focus and remaining committed
    4) I will relish in my new lifestyle change and live it, love it and thrive

  200. WOJO Says:

    I want but NEED to fast track myself to a healthier me. I just don’t have enough energy to have enough fun with the kids. I simply run out of steam and restrict my activities due to embarassment related to my size.
    I try to blend into the back ground. I don’t want this for me or the kids. I want to show them you need to get out there and take a big bite of life to get the most out of it.
    So I will follow the rules
    remain positive
    lose 6 kg
    be proud of what I’m achieving
    take that big bite and stop hiding in the back ground

    Best wishes to everyone involved!(I have not received my BS yet so am not quite sure what I’m in for!)

  201. Sandra Says:

    To stay focused, follow it to the letter, no deviations. Make a big dent in the 16kgs I have left to lose. End up with a toned body, not looking like a saggy, baggy, elephant.

  202. LIBBY Says:

    Yeah my first ever blog!! I hope it works.
    My goals for the next 42 days.

    Stay focused and motivated!!!
    Feel better about myself and within myself, prove to myself that I can do it.
    Lose 6kg during the challenge.

  203. The Vicar Says:

    So this is it! I am finally going to play the DVD and CD’s and take THE PHOTO. I have about 70 kgs to lose and in 6 weeks, I will make a great start to the journey. I have tried all the other programs and even had band surgery (have not lost a kilo). I realise that it is finally up to me and my attitude, thought processes and determination. Please let this be the the one program that I get to work for me. From all my experiences this one seems to make the most sense, but I have to make it work and stick to it. A day at a time. They say you eat an elephant a mouthful at a time, so here goes my elephant. (that’s my elephant GOING by watching every mouthful)
    Good luck to me and everyone else.

  204. Craig Says:

  210. Megan Says:

    It is great to see so much motivation & committment 🙂

    I am looking forward to the challenge, i won’t be completing the whole 42 days as I am getting married on 26th FEB, but i will be embracing every moment of the challenge leading up to that day and getting as much out of it as i can…. I am still focussed and aiming on dropping between 8-10kgs by then and toning up as i go…..

    So this challenges coincides great with my own personal CHALLENGE i already had going…

    Keep up the great motivation, it’s fantastic 🙂

    Good Luck to ALL

  211. Pam Says:

    I have lost nearly 10kg since starting BT, although I haven’t been able to follow the program exactly. I am 75 years young, have crook knees & back & unable to walk very far. I will try harder to drink 2 litres of water a day and cut down on the red wine! I WILL plan my meals & snacks & I WILL open the package called Bodyscult to find out what it is about. I thought you had to be at goal weight before starting it. Keep up the good work!

  212. Christine Says:

    I would love to take part in the challenge but i start and end my family holiday within those dates. I will have to try my own challenge when i get back. But while on holidays I wiil keep up my 10,000 steps, drink 2-3litres of water, take bodysculpt with me and stick to a fairly good eating plan. Good luck to all of you taking part. Cheers

  213. Henk Says:

    Thank you Body Trim Team !

    This Challenge is coming at the right time for me , because after succesfully losing 8 kg over 2 + months ( averaging 1 kg a week ) , unfortunately 4 kg have creaped up again due to loss of focus the last 3 Months .

    I have to re focus again through allocating regular time to myself to implement the Body Trim and Body Sculpt Principles .

    You are right to say that it is very hard to do this on your own long term …., it works for a short time but then it’s very easy to fall back on some old and bad habbits .

    My target is a 15 kg weight loss and a better overall fittness level .

    I have been up and down with my weight for 23 years , so persistance is required ; I know we can do it with the help of the Body Trim Team and create a healthier Austalia long term ! Happy Australia Day to All !

  214. Kerrie Says:

    I lost 10 kilo’s last year with body trim, was extatic, than in 2 weeks with night shift and the busy run of people and food I hit a plateau and wondered why I wasn’t losing more, with a 25 kilo weight loss goal in front of me I was half way, than even though walking and I had some potato’s and rice over xmas some slices and xmas cake and the dreaded chocolate I put it all on, but for 2 months kept stable at 68kilo’s wondering why the weight just wouldn’t drop off, so hopefully body sculpt and the extra knowledge Jeoff is sharing will help me to understand more and break through the plateau. I am motovated with exercise with low and high impact aerobics and walking 6 km a day and drinking 3 litres of water daily really gives results with the body trim diet program but the plateau is discouraging as I can’t seem to lose more, have lost the weight I put on through xmas with body trim, body trim works. I have a terrible time with retaining fluid. Back to the plateau Geoff I am depending on you for the extra knowledge with body sculpt. Thanks Jeoff

  215. Ruth Says:

    Get to my goal weight of 62 kg (total weight loss will be 20 kg) and finally be on a maintenance program.
    Stay focused and stay with the body sculpt exercises.
    Work out plans to celebrate the achievement.
    Can’t wait to see the final me.

  216. Ronnie Says:

    I want gain motivation and loose depression.
    I want life.
    6kgs off my arse wouldn’t be missed and would take me to a starting point of 100kgs.
    Katie 117kgs and a baby keep blogging your story is my story so if you give it a go I’ll back you 200%

  217. Joan B Says:

    I joined bodytrim last year after spinal surgery, (a little too soon I found out – recovery took longer than I had anticipated) and could not get to the 10,000 steps needed on the program. I believed in the program but became disillusioned at the poor weight loss at the time. I can now walk with more confidence and am much stronger gradually increasing the frequency and distance covered.
    I am keen to join in the challenge and have replayed the bodysculpt dvd.
    Geoff, thank you for giving me the confidence to try again.
    Good luck to all the other bodysculpt entries and bring on the new me!

    Thank you to the Body Trim team

    I have been looking for motivation and encouragement at this time and I am look forward to this challange. I would like to loose 10 kg.

  223. Pamela Says:

    Overall goal is to loose 12kg of body fat and build and tone. AS I am 55 yrs old now – this is for health not just vanity. Got the new scales yesterday that measure body fat so I can monitor it as well as weight. My problem is I have some surgery scheduled in just over 3 weeks time so I will only have 3 weeks able bodied on the challenge – but instead of saying no – I will really go for it for 3 weeks. Then do the diet and walking while recuperating, then resume the body sculpt when able. I have watched the videos past 2 days and started today. So goals are:
    1. Stick to the diet and water
    2. Prepare my meals and snacks before I go off to work
    3. Keep on walking the 10,000 steps
    4. Do body sculpt Tuesday Thursday Saturday

    One question Geoff – if you do the body sculpt first thing in the am before any breakfast – just the coffee – and then wait the hour for breakfast – I take it that you should walk at a different time of day and not immediately before or after the body sculpt. Is that right?

  224. Bonnie Says:

    Ok here goes…………..

    do 10,000 steps each day
    do BS Sunday Wednesday Friday
    observe the 3 hour rule,
    dont be tempted to eat carbs
    drink 2litres water per day
    stay orgnaised with snacks meals etc……
    take medication consistently
    yoga once per week
    NO ALCOHOL, THAT MEANS NONE.
    montior weekly only.
    make the time for yourself -you deserve it!

    when this is all done, broken down into baby steps it equals weighing 80kg by the end of the challenge! good luck to all!

  225. Lexxie Couper Says:

    Goals (a goal for each week)

    1/ Believe in myself and my ability to finish this!
    2/ Do my 10,000 steps a day (no lame excuses for not doing so)
    3/ Plan my week’s menu so I don’t resort to protein shakes and picking at a BBQ chook for dinner
    4/ Get out of bed early enough Mon, Wed and Friday to do my BS sessions (thereby eliminating my “can’t exercise while my children are around” excuse)
    5/ Loose 6kgs minimum
    6/ Stick to it! Don’t quit. DON’T QUIT!!!

  226. Deb Says:

    I have been following the BT principles for over a year now. I lost the weight I wanted to (6 kgs) and maintained that. Due to some life changes I have put some it back on but am really motivated to get rid of it again and feel fantastic!
    1. lose 5 kilos in 6 weeks ready for my trip to Qld.
    2. Drink 2-3L of water each day
    3. do all my steps, or equivalent in swimming.
    4. Just feel great about the way I feel and look!!
    5. Stick to “free days” and not be slack!

  227. Jenny S Says:

  230. Carmel Says:

  231. belinda Says:

    hi geoff and chris as my 2nd attempt at bodytrim i have decided to start with the chanllenge of losing 5kg in 6 weeks. I have a Huge amount of weight to lose a massive 60-70kg i weigh 145.1kg and would like to be 75-85kg. i am going to get my 10,000 steps in by walking my kids to and from school and use my airwalker and zumba which i purchased as i used to be a dancer and still love so im hoping will keep me motivated. drink 2-3 litres of water a day by putting them into 3 litre bottles to keep track makes it seem not as much to drink. eat every 3 hours and the biggest mistake i made the first time around doing bodytrim have different protein meals as i had chicken mince and tuna and was very bored my first holiday from home brought me undone so i am going to study recipes to help. my biggest step is finding someone that is going thru the same as me which i know there is a world full but i need a friend.
    i know i can do it this time i have tracked what the cause of my obesity is from and he is on his way out the door and in my eyes my weight will too. looking forward to a new start.

    • Lindy Rattigan Says:

      You can do it Belinda….. a simple thing I learned…. was that I needed to work on loving myself. This is the first time in my life that I’ve lost weight for ME. Not someone else. You’ll be amazed by the successes you have. One day at a time. Set some small goals – even daily initially.
      You need to start – right here…. look into the mirror and see the beauty. It’s confronting, and I shed many tears. In my case, I didn’t see any external beauty, it was the niceties within that started me on my trek.
      But now I love who I am. I love what I see. And yes, I’m a work in progress.
      I am accountable to me now. And I’m worthy of the attention! Goodluck Belinda.

  232. Patricia Crocker Says:

    Lost 16 kgs last year and then put on 4kgs over the Festive Season much to my disgust – aiming now to lose that, plus an extra 5-10 kgs with all the help that is so generously offered. Thanks Geoff and Team for the much needed motivation. Also planning to make good use of Body Sculpt to get rid of the “horribles” – you would all know what I mean………HORRIBLE!
    Looking forward to the transformation.

  243. Lisa Says:

    My total weight loss goal is 10kgs.
    In the next 6 weeks I aim to lose 6kgs.
    I have been on the bodytrim system for over 6 months now and have not lost much weight. This is due to not sticking to the exercise regime as I work full time, however I will stop using this as an excuse and in the next 6 weeks I will make sure I do my 10,000 steps per day and stick to the exercise regime by working out before and after work.
    Good luck everyone.

  244. Alison Says:

    I will stay focused for the 6 weeks – it’s only 42 days! I want to be down to 64kgs by the end of the challenge and feeling really fantastic about my achievement. Now that the kids are back at school, I’ll really make the effort to get in my 10000 steps and be more organised with snacks. I will stick to this challenge…I have fallen off the bandwagon too many times and I really need to knuckle down now and achieve this goal! I’m off to take my photo and find some comfy jeans! Good luck everyone!

  245. Glenise Jacobson Says:

    I am so lucky as I have already lost all my weight on BT but need to tone up the muffin top. My son gets married in 13 weeks and I want to look and feel my best so bring it on Geoff…. Ready Set and Let’s Go.

  248. Deidre Holland Says:

    I’m not usually into posting comments on the web – but I believe if I put it out there, then I will be accountable for my actions! I don’t have a lot of weight to lose my goal is 6-8 kilo, but I do definitely have body fat that I want to say good-bye to forever! I’m currently at 34% body fat and would like to get down to 25%. I’m hoping it will be the end of the unsightly cellulite at the back of my legs and the flabby spare tire around my hips. I have been a dieter all my life and I want to find something that really works and melts those fat deposits that have accumulated over the years.
    I WILL walk 10,000 steps everyday
    I WILL body sculpt 3 x a week (did the first day yesterday and thighs and upper body are feeling it)
    I WILL drink 2-3 litres of water a day
    I WILL stick to the eating plan
    I WILL NOT make excuses
    I WANT THIS

  249. Sheryn Says:

    So I’m in, February 1st is kick off day.
    Lost about 25kgs on my own last year, took me ages through trial and error, wish I had known about this program then. Have plateaued and I believe B.S. will help me get the body I desire.
    I’m really excited, just listened to the first e lesson and going to take my start photo and hang those jeans up that will be way to big for me in 6 weeks.
    My goals:
    Be consistent
    Be true
    Be committed
    Be thin
    Be an example
    I want to lose 8kg minimum.
    Good luck to everyone, lets do this together.

  254. pen Says:

    ok here goes,
    i have lost 8kg and regained 3kg
    in the challenge i will:
    1/ loose the 5kg to get me to my first goal.
    2/ walk my 10000 steps every day
    3/ eat all meals and snacks (watching my portions)
    4/ do my body sculpt training 3x per week
    5/ listen to my motivational tracks while walking to start everyday on a positive note.
    6/ will drink a min of 2lts of water a day.

    I believe all this is posible with BT as i have found it really easy as a way of life….. now i am going to step it up a level and get over the platue that is a remembered weight that my body has.
    I got a bit comfy @ this weight but now i want to be the best i have been in years. this came at a wonderful time as in April I am going to bali with my partner who has just started BT with me, we are excited to go to Bali looking like Ken and Barbie (with ink) :0) good luck every one

  265. Rosa Says:

    Hi – I started on bodytrim in November 2009 and have lost 6.3 kilos. I will not be entering the challenge as I only want to lose another 3 kilos, and I will also be on holidays, however, I am looking forward to using the bodysculpt program and to a more toned body. I know I can last the distance – thanks for a great program.

  266. Jacinta Goodman Says:

    Well hello all! Ok here’s the story. Last year I lost 25kg on BT, I felt amazing and in control. Slowly I have let other people and things (food & alcohol) take the control away from me and gradually I have put back on about 12kg. Yesterday I turned 44 and over the weekend my son told me I am going to be a grandmother in September.
    My aim for the challenge is to regain the control and by the end of the six weeks have become the positive confident beautiful woman I have been and will be again. I intend to be on my husbands arm for our 10th Anniversary March 19 2010 and walk into a room and turn heads.
    To do this I will need to:
    1) Reduce my alcohol intake considerably and have at least 4 alcohol free days per week.
    2) Stick to the BT rules
    3) Start doing the BS program
    4) Find a buddy with common aspirations to share this journey (So anyone interested let me know)
    5) Use the motivational tools not just read, listen or veiw them and think it will work by osmosis
    So its out there!! This is what I am going to do, and good luck to us all!!

    • Diane Merry Says:

      Hi Jacquie,
      Have you found a buddy yet as I am looking for one. Last year I lost 20 kg and have put on 5 kg so want to loose it and fit into my cloths properly again. Looking forward to you contacting me… Diane

      • Jacinta Goodman Says:

        Hi Diane, sorry having computer trouble so took a while to get back. Well first day today and recieved bodysculpt pack so very motivated hope i can keep it up. How are things with you

      • Diane Merry Says:

        I don’t know why life is so busy but I am having trouble starting body sculpt may be it is the hot weather up here in Queensland.
        The pack is a little daunting to me but hope to get going with it soon.Thanks for your contact

    • Judi Says:

      Hi Jacinta,
      I too have lost and then gained in the last 6 months. If you are still looking for a buddy let me know. I turn 50 in March and my 15th wedding anniversary is in July so this is a big year for me. Lets get back in shape together. Judi – jjresor@bigpond.com

      • Jacinta Goodman Says:

        Hi Judy the more buddies the better I say, first day today and very motivated but a long way to go . How about you?

  267. Nic Says:

    Wow, where do I want to be in 42 days?
    Words are easy, action is much harder….
    * I want to be 6kg lighter and have that toned/fit body I have always stived for but never been able to achieve. (even though I excerise alot). For me this is not really about how much I weigh, its more about the shape of my body.
    * I want to be able to look in the mirrir and like what I see (no more chicken wings, floppy stomach and wobbly, thick legs).
    * I will stay focused for 6 weeks, 42 days. I always have good intentions and start well but loose drive and motivation – NOT THIS TIME.
    * Complete the weekly routine of bodysculpt, 3 times a week. I want to prove to myself that bodysculpt really can work, it can help change my life.
    * At the end of 42 days I want to be able to say I really did put my words into action and I have achieved what I set out to do. I have a new, lighter, better shaped me!!!

  268. Suzi Says:

    I started Bodytrim with great success, then……………….. holidays, friends coming to stay and I was off the rails!
    Now Geoff has started the 2010 challenge it is just what I needed to get me started again.
    I will follow through this time with all the Bodytrim steps.
    I will be 7kg lighter by the end of the challenge and continue on my own personal challenge to goal weight.
    Thanks Geoff for this kick in the butt!!!!

  269. Peta Knight Says:

    Hi. Thanks to BT I have lost Weight and lots of it. 35kg to be exact. Things went wrong when I hit a brick wall and my weight did not shift for 8 weeks. Feeling depressed about this and the fact I was trying to give up smoking and then Xmas I have gained 10 kg in the past 4 months. How disgusted I feel with myself that I have let the weight climb back on. This challenge is going to be the best thing to get me back on track. I’m fired up and ready to take charge again and regain the positive attitude I had about myself 4 months ago. I’m ready so lets go.

  270. Wendy Says:

    Thanks to the Body Trim Team and everyone,
    The goals everyone has posted are inspirational inthemselves
    Congratulations and good luck to everyone.
    I have lacked commitment to the body trim program but am here to achieve my goals
    Drink 3 litres of water a day
    Give myself time to plan meals and snacks and stick to them
    Get up and walk each morning and succeed at 10,000steps
    complete my body sculpt sessions even if the kids have to join in which hopefully won’t take too long
    This is my time for me and my new beginning
    thanks everyone

  271. Colleen Says:

    With the knowledge that there are so many other BTers out there taking on this challenge, I am committed to the beautification of MYSELF for the coming 42 day period. During this time, I will be relentless in striving to achieve a dramatic change in body shape that will have people curious about how I was able to achieve it. I am going to give my carb-saturated diet away, and also the alcohol (which is an all too dominating factor each and every evening).

    I can only GAIN from my loss of weight, ie:

    1) The osteoarthritis pain in my hip will reduce and this will give me added mobility and enable me to get back and be active with my friends

    2) My self esteem will return and (hopefully) so will my libido!!

    My aim is to get back to my post-pregnancy weight. Yes, i had gestational diabetes and couldn’t get my diet right until I stopped eating carbs. I started the pregnancy at 82 kgs and walked out of the hospital weighing 64 kgs, but have put on 7 kgs as I went back to eating lots of carbs. BIG MISTAKE. I have lost weight with no carbs and no longer have any desire to eat them. I will get back down to 64 kgs and I will lose my “tuck shop” arms and jelly belly.

    Wish to do the challenge need lots of support. Thanks.

    I am 56, have Type2 Diabetes,High Blood pressure and arthritis and find it hard to get 10000 steps. Need to overcome this.

    I need to lose over 50 kgs.

  310. Tamara Says:

    My main goal to reach for the 6 week challenge is to get going in the 28kg weight loss overall yearly goal. My goal is to reduce my weight in 6 weeks by 8kg and many cm’s of body fat. This of course is my minimum and I want to fit into pants 2 sizes smaller than what the current size happens to be.

    I’m 34 years old and look untoned. I don’t live near a gym and have no inclination to visit one. I feel this program will assist in my staying healthy and regaining the toned and energetic look (and feel) I perceive a woman in her early-ish 30’s is entitled to have. No more chicken wing arms and thunder thighs for me. I want my 184cm frame to be slender again.

  311. Lauren Says:

    My goal is to drop minimum 5kgs in the 6 weeks.
    I will plan my meals and snacks and not go past the 3 hours.

  312. Stacey Landrigan Says:

    My main goals are to fit comfortably into my ‘small clothes’ by sticking to the program for the whole 6 weeks, NO slacking or giving up at all.

    I am going drop body fat %

  328. Judi Turner Says:

    I bought the bt pack in about July 2009. I finally opened it in the beginning of December. I lost 4 kgs in 4 weeks. We were then away in Bali for 17 days. I only regained 400gms, as I tried to eat high protein and low carb, but wasn’t doing the 3+3, or the 3 hour rule. So, here I am waiting for my bs kit to arrive, and in the first week back on bt. I look forward to the challenge. My goals are:
    1. to continue is to lose more weight-6kgs in 6 weeks (more would be even better!)
    2. to tone up belly, underarms, thighs
    3. at least 2 litres of water every day
    Let’s go!

  329. Rachel Evans-Kerrigan Says:

    My goals for the challenge are:

    (1) To loose 6-10kg.
    (2) To increase my water intake to 2-3L per day
    (3) To do my 10,000 steps a day and to do some form of exercise every day to help acheive that and tone.
    (4) To not forget why I am doing this – for ME!!
    (5) To concentrate on discovering myself and learning to love who I am.
    (6) To not exceed the 3 hour rule
    (7) To make sure that I enjoy my day, and do things with my family.

  330. Laraine Says:

    I am going too give this my best shot, I want to feel proud of myself and loose 8kg during the 6weeks to give me motivation to keep going for years with a healthy happy body.

  331. Kris Says:

    Ok… this is it, no more excuses. I have been successful in loosing 18kg (with an original of goal of loosing 25kg) last year but then got too confident and comfortable and reverted back to old bad habits. I slowly watched a couple of kilos go back on of late, but I am determined to get to my original goal.

    I am finding the last few kilos a little harder to shed but this challenge has given me new strength. I need to loose approximately 5-7 more kilos and I am going for it. I have been preparing over the last week to set me up for the start on the 1st of Feb……… CAN’T WAIT only a few more sleeps.

  332. Chris Says:

    I’m looking forward to losing 10Kg and feeling better. Currently a slim 121Kg the 10Kg off should feel great. I hope to inspire those around me to lose a bit too. Lead by example eh? Well here goes. The photo will be taken tonight and the pants will be hanging on the bedroom door for the 6 weeks.

    The photo and jeans have happened so here goes for the next 6 weeks and a new me.
    My doctor is amazed at my weight loss and is talking of taking me off blood pressure medication.

    * To lose 6 – 7 kilos and to break the 100kg zone for good
    * To enjoy the new transformed me…that is motivated, no longer on the carb train, and cant wait for my next pic.
    * Gain motivation and support through the challenge, this website brings
    * Dream of my holiday in Bali coming up in September and not having to hide behind the tent dresses I usually wear.
    * Build the confidence to let my husband see me naked (which rarely happens) and be proud of the new transformed me.

    Here’s to experiencing the journey towards achieving the new me!

    Thank you Body Sculpt

  338. Louise Says:

    Hi Geoff & the team
    My family & I (4 of us) have decided that February is it. Even though we will be on the Body Trim System and using Body Sculpt we are calling it our Fasting February. (No junk food, no take out, no alcohol). Just following the Body trim system with the three hour rule, 2-3 litres of water, walking our 10,000 steps, using Body Scuplt 3-4 times per week for 20 minutes and motivating & supporting each other.

  339. belinda Says:

    thanx lindy, im on day 3 now and have been able to be strong and say NO I DONT NEED THIS and looking in the mirror is daunting at the moment because i don’t like what i see and have for so long only used my bathroom mirror which i can only see my head. so my next goal is to look in mirror and try to love me. Heres to a healthier and happy me which will lead to a happier life and i hope to make new friends along the way by using BT xxx

  340. Alanah Says:

    Hi guys I am hoping to loose 8ks during the six weeks. I don’t have a buddy so contact me if I can be yours. I am an infant teacher,54 yrs old, love animals, have 2 malrese-shitzu dogs, am married with two boys , one 29 the other26 and I live in Tassy.

  341. Tanzie Says:

    We I just took my photo…ouch photos don’t lie do they! Tried on my jeans (that i remembered being a little loose but now fit snug) and have now set myself for the best 6weeks of my life.
    • I am committed to doing my 3 resistance training sessions a week ( I started on wednesday and thoroughly enjoyed)
    • I am committing to making the time and reaching my 10,000steps a day
    • I am committing to sticking to my eating plan

    but most of all…I am committed to myself to lose at minimum 6kgs but striving for 10kgs in the next 6wks!!
    bring on that mini skirt!!! 🙂

    good luck everybody 🙂

  342. Kate Says:

    This is it.

    No more excuses. My last baby is 3yrs and I’m nearly 37, so it’s time to work on myself and learn to like myself, as I did in my 20’s.

    1) Take the photo….i feel sick at this thought as I avoid most photos but I need a visual as to why I want to do this.

    2) 10000 steps is a priority…..use the treadmill and get up earlier to fit in some activity before the kids rise

    3) Fill up the water bottles the night before so that they are ready to consume….min 2L/day

    4) Follow the 3hr rule. This will help avoid the afternoon cravings and lethargy.

    5) Open the body sculpt box and schedule in sun, tues & thurs – no conflict with hubby’s training or kid’s schedules, so there’s no excuse!!

    6) Look forward to seeing a change in me in 6wks time – not only a body change but mindset as well.

  343. Leah Says:

    I am looking forward to the start of a new me and I wish everyone the best of luck, I am dreading taking the before photo as I know that photo’s don’t lie, but can’t wait till the after photo just to see the difference that the next 6 weeks make. I have already bought a new outfit that I want to look great in and I can’t wait to wear it.

    1. Make sure that I eat the right foods and follow the 3hr rule

    2. Drink plenty of water

    3. Get my 10,000 steps in every day

    4. Remain focused and try not to let things tempt me

    5. I will like what I see in the mirror and be proud of the person that I will become

    6. Aim to loose minimum 5kls over the next 6 weeks

    7. Will hang my new denim skirt next to my jeans that give me a muffin top when I wear them

    8. Now that I have written this for everyone to see, there can be no more excuses

  344. Tanzie Says:

    Wow I can’t believe the response and the challenge hasn’t even begun yet…its amazing!

  345. Kate Says:

    Living with diabetes for the past 3 yrs has not been easy, emotionally or physically. I have worked hard to emotionally accept my new life and now I am ready to physically CHALLENGE MYSELF AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF AGAIN.

  346. Kate Says:

    Being told that I had diabetes type 1 three years ago has not been easy. I have emtionally worked on myself but am now ready to physically work on myself. Prior to diabetes I was a trim and fit size 10 now I am close to a 14 and very unfit!

  347. Kayley Pollard Says:

    I am committed to staying on the BodySculpt challenge for the whole six weeks.
    I want to tone my body by completing three 20 minute workouts a week.
    And I will do the 10,000 steps a day.

  348. Georgie Says:

    I will:
    Stay focused for the whole 6 weeks
    Loose atleast 6 kgs
    Begin toning my body and be able to see a difference in my physic by the end of the 6 weeks
    Stick to my walking, 3+3 and 2lts water.
    Enjoy the ride and give it a go 200%.
    Say goodbye plateau – you’re outta here !!!

  349. Janine Says:

    I don’t know if I’m excited or scared. Geoff, you’ve given me all the tools I need to achieve my goals – now if it’s to be, it’s up to me!!

    I will follow the nutrition rules
    I will drink 2 litres of water a day
    I will do 10000 steps a day + my bodysculpt program
    I will not be trapped by carbs anymore!!

  350. Neville Says:

    I’m shocked that I now weigh 103.5kgs
    I’ve been too busy and too inactive over the last two years. It’s time to do something about it.
    I will lose 5kgs in the next 6 weeks
    I will be back to 90kgs in 6 months
    I will drink 2-3 lts of water a day
    I will get 10,000 steps in a day, at least 5 days a week
    I will strictly comply with the Body Trim protien diet for the contest

    I will commence a weight training regime after the challenge.

  351. Teena Says:

    I lost 10kg one year ago, I have since put 6kg back on… Due to lack of focus and commitment.

    I have decided to take this 6 week challenge to get my focus and commitment back and to lose the 6kg that I put back on. In return I will get the body that I want. I want to feel good like I did before.

  352. Kay Cordingley Says:

    I’m joining the 6 week challenge to refocus and get back into the habit of my morning Bodysculpt sessions rather than just relying on surfing.

    I will complete my Bodysculpt sessions on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.
    I will aim for 10,000 steps daily
    I will maintain my protein snacks and not let the carb train carry me off course.
    I will achieve my goal of 63kgs
    I will reinforce my goals in my food journal daily to keep me on track

    Thanks for the opportunity to refocus on my goals.

  362. Mandy C Says:

    Having a crack at the challenge with my hubby, Paul (who has ordered his Bodysculpt pack- just not arrived yet).
    We are no strangers to the low-carb way of life: having read both of Gary Taubes’ books “The diet delusion” and “Good calories, bad calories” (which I highly recommend to anyone wanting any further information on the science of insulin & obesity).
    We have happily spent the last 12 months living low- carb; but we need the focus & structure Bodysculpt provides. Meal frequency & portion size make such a difference! So…! Our goals:

    1. 10,000 steps a day & 2-3 resistance sessions
    2. 2L water
    3. Be more organised & ensure the fridge is well stocked with the right goodies.
    4. Reduce body fat- takin’ those jeans to the tailor in 42 days, Geoff!!

    Cheers & good luck everyone!!

  363. Sherridan Says:

    I am joining the Body Challenge to lose 12kg and save my future from more health issues. I have had Hypoglycemia for the past 9 years and I have also been overweight since diagnosed. I was told its from a more serious illness (they dont know what) so I have stalled living my life for the past 9 years (im only 33) not had children for the fear of problems. I started menopause at age 27 and times running out. So stuff them I want my life back.
    1. lose 12kg in 19 weeks
    2. Drink my water 3-4ltrs day
    3. NOT BE SCARED to workout hardcore haha
    4. excersise without getting sick (finish a workout) and train like I used to
    5.Stick to the rules of BT
    6. go on a holiday and be proud
    7.Have a baby
    If theres anyone with Hypoglycemia (Im reactive) please offer your experiences as Im frustrated too.

  364. Sharyn Says:

    1. Reform good habits of exercising 3 times a week
    2. Develop the discipline to not indulge in ‘crappy carbs’ in the endless streams of morning teas we seem to have at work
    3. Finally break the long long long plateau and break through to less than 80kg.

  365. PAUL C Says:

    Hi guys……..ITS ON!!!!!
    There is no doubt that low carb is good. I have been cutting out the carbs for a while now and have become more energetic and don’t get moody tired spells during the day. I haven’t been very focused up until now… thats my goal.
    I already feel great, now its time to loose 10kg(ish)

    KIA KAHA

  366. JoPR Says:

    1. Lose the extra 18kgs that I’m carry around
    2. Reshape my post two babies body into something that I feel comfortable enough with again.
    3. Build my self confidence back so to enjoy my body again and not feel ashamed of it.

    to do this I’m going to have to make sure I’m careful with my planning around the 3 hour protein snacks. Watch my protein serving size. Keep working on getting all my steps in.

  367. Alli Says:

    My goals for this six week challenge are:
    (1) Lose the final 4kgs since my second baby

  368. JM2010 Says:

    Ok, so I’ve just received my Bodysculpt package – pulled it open and am already thinking of excuses to put it in the corner! BUT……..I’m giving myself one week to read through all the materials, watch the DVDs and get myself organised. Will start walking 30 mins a day until starting the challenge. I haven’t taken the Bodytrim before and am starting with BodySculpt, so I’m hoping that I’m going about this the right way. Major goal for this six week challenge is to lose a minimum of 15kgs! That will be a miracle and amazing if I do, and will also be the kick-start I need to keep going to lose another 15kgs. To those of you who don’t have buddies, stay strong and don’t give up. Lets make 2010 the year where everything that comes off, stays off. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

  369. Lyn Taylor Says:

    I have been on BT for 3 months and have lost 7.5kgs. I am very happy with the way I look now, I have joined the challenge to tone up. I have 2 more kgs to lose, don’t mind if I lose a bit more. Just love this program. Thanks Geoff.

    3. Drink as much water as I can.
    4. No Alcohol.

  384. Dawn Consalvo Says:

    I went from a very fit and active 60 kgs up to 93kgs and very unfit and hardly active at all over a period of 6 years. I have lost 10kgs on Bodytrim and purchased Bodysculpt before Christmas, but decided to commence using it after Christmas and holiday time was over. This is now the time, and this challenge has virtually given me the momentum to get started. Thanks Geoff for your continuous support. My diet tends to be quite boring because I am afraid of having the wrong foods, so it will be good to have the support on others. I aim to lose 6kgs during this challenge. I don’t have a buddy, and do get frustrated because I live in a country area where it is difficult to purchase some of the foods I want.

  385. Kyley Says:

    This six weeks is all about me focusing on myself! i deserve to be successful in achieving my goal. I am going to apply myself to this 100%. i want this challenge to enable me to re-gain my self confidence and allow me to feel content in my own skin. I will transform myself into the yummy mummy i have longed to be since having my twins 4years ago.
    Good luck everyone, i hope you all achieve your goals :-).

  386. Melissa Ped Says:

    – work out weekly menu plan every sunday night

  389. Nat Says:

    Well having read these comments, just gives me the motivation to do this for me. Geoff, I watched the video advising of the challenge and had tears in my eyes to think that you know I/we can do this and believe in ourselves. I am going to do this for myself and only myself. If I don’t do it no-one can do it for me. Thankyou. Here goes. GAME ON!

  390. Learay Says:

    Hi Everyone and all the best for the challenge. At the end of the challenge I will weigh 62kg. I am very active and thought I ate well but constantly sit around the 68kg – so hello Body trim and bye bye 6kg YAY! Tomorrow I’m competing in a 60km road race and Monday I start the challenge. To achieve my goal I will eat every three hours and drink my 3L water per day! All the best team :o)

  391. Gina Says:

    This is so exciting! only 6 weeks to a new me. Want to be in the low 80kg which I haven’t been in over 8 years. Thank you for this great oportunity.

  392. Kerry Says:

    I intend to lose 30kg over the next year by completing a 6 week Bodysculpt challenge at the beginning of each school term (ie. 4 in total). Because the weight will be easiest to lose now (when i have more of it!!), my goal is to lose 10kg on this first challenge and maintain that loss via BodyTrim/Maintenance til the start of term 2.

    I will follow Bodysculpt to the letter for the 42 days (ie, plan meals & snacks, drink water, eat cheese & nuts only on jumpstart days, no alcohol, 10,000 steps, resistance bands) commencing Mon Feb 1.

    My youngest is in Grade 4 this year – time to lose the baby fat once & for all!!!

  393. JoPR Says:

    I almost cried when i saw my before photos. As i’m normally the one on the other side of the camera, the few taken of me at Christmas i had managed to convince myself were just really bad angles.
    I know this is just the beginning, but all a bit of a hard truth for me having to look at them.
    time to stop feeling sorry for myself and start to do something about it. Now just waiting on my BS pack to arrive.

  394. Chris Says:

    I went off track over Christmas, but was happy to see I didn’t gain the weight I had lost before.
    My aim for this 6 weeks is to lose 5 kg (at least).
    I will wear the pedometer every day and reach the 10000 steps.
    I will to fit into a pr. of jeans that just wont zip up now.

  395. Tess Says:

    Well after emails about the challenge, and registering to participate, I have finally opened my bodyscult parcel which I received several months ago, but “forgot” due to a variety of circumstances. I really want to kick off to a flying start my weight loss efforts this year. began the whole process 12/12 ago, and have managed to loose 10kg so far. Each month the amount I have lost has got less and less, and as a result my enthusiasm and persistence has waned a little more. I hope following this challenge and getting support form the BT community will reverse this insidious problem.
    I wish everyone good luck in the challenge, and look forward to sharing this opportunity and being inspired by you all.

    • jane Says:

      My challenge: to lose at least 6 kgs. I have already lost 11 kgs on bodytrim but have lost my way over the last few weeks.
      I will endeavour to walk to work, so that I can obtain close to 10 thousand steps as I sit or day at work and drive 10 minutes to work!
      To drink at least 2 lit a day and use the bands to help firm the upper body “flabby” parts, that would be great.
      I have just opened my parcel (which I have had for sometime) and will look at all the tapes etc before February 1!!
      At 58 I need to keep my self fit and well so that I can, enjoy one day, grandchildren, not like my mother who died at a very young age and did not have that opportunity!!

    I have now lost 10kg on bodytrim and have another 40 to go to reach goal weight so any loss during this 6 week challenge will be great, but I am more interested in the dress size. I have only received my bodysculpt this week so I am excited about this challenge.

    I will do resistance training 3 times per week.

  401. maggy Says:

    now that i have lost the 10kg i set out to lose (using bt) my next goal is to tighten up! i need to lose flab! hoping bs will help me to achieve this. also would like my shape to be more well-defined. also would like to get some more muscle tone (maybe even some muscles where i haven’t had them before!) if i also lose a few more kg at the same time that will be just fine! also want to increase my energy levels as have a new demanding job. also need to try really hard to fit in the 10000 steps and to drink enough water.

    QUESTION: On Bodytrim, cycling was not recommended as it would build muscle. Now that we do want some muscle in Bodysculpt, is cycling allowed as a substitute to walking?

    • Tony Curl Says:

      My Advice JT is that if you enjoy cycling, do it. I would still walk to get my steps in, and use cycling as an additional. Can only help.

      I play Touch Footy and coach footy, and on the days that I do this, I still get my walks in.

      Cheers
      Curly

  412. Trish Says:

    I have completely lost the plot since xmas so I need to start focusing on
    what is important to me to achieve the goals I have set for myself over the coming months .

  413. Margaret Says:

    I started bodytrim mid 2008, and lost 15kg in 3 months, and did it just with the food changes and virtually no exercise. I looked fantastic, loved the loss of the ‘shelf on top of my bum,’ loved the fact my bra didn’t roll in between the grooves, loved having to fold over the tops of my pants and having to wear belts to keep my clothes on, even bought smaller sized clothes. But I then got that thing in my head that said you look great now you dont need to do this anymore. ( Hello! now 30 kg heavier )I made a 2010 New Year Resolution to get back into BT, I did from January 2, and have lost 5 kg. but I worry that the same’ol situation will arise, the loss of committment and motivation. I bought the BS as a form of exercise as walking in our humidity is extremely exhausting. I only have half of me to loose. Thats my goal, I’m crying writing this, as half of me feels that I will just do what I have done before ‘ drop out too soon’,I have yo-yo dieted for the last 30 years with just about every known diet, the other half says I HAVE TO DO IT, I WANT TO DO IT! My short term goal is to open the BS box, find out what I have to do, take a photo and tomorrow is Day 1. COUNT ME IN !

    • Maria Jones Says:

      Oh Margaret,
      Your post brought tears to my eyes. You can do it. Be encouraged. Go back to what worked for you the first time around. Relapse is a normal part of any weight loss program. Don’t be too hard on yourself. If you need a Buddy I’m here. Send me a private message on the BT Forum, my username is MariaJ. Congrats on the 5 kilos you have already lost. You are a Winner! XOX Maria

  414. Lois Says:

    Okay I will take the dreaded photo.

    I have already commited to the 6 week program and am hoping for great results. Just scared that I am going to fail.

    This time I will take it a day at a time.

  415. Carol Elzink Says:

  417. Gino Says:

    Lost 3kg doing a practise week (5days) on BS. Just by sticking to the basics.

    Thanks,
    Gino

  418. Ann Says:

    Goals:

    Remind myself – drink at least 2 litres of water daily.
    Maintain BT 6 x meals /day.
    10,000 steps at least 3 time per week.
    Stengthen – triceps/biceps, chest/back/stomach and legs.

  419. belinda Says:

    ok my first week ( day 5) I have never felt prouder of myself. i breezed thru and even managed to go to my sisters and say NO a big first for me. I am looking forward to weighing in tomorrow making mondays my weigh day. besides steps have organised to swim 3 days a week to help with toning. Heres to a new lifestyle and a definate new me….yay

  420. Joanne Says:

    This is my first challenge – Writing – putting pen to paper so to speak for everybody to see not just me thinking about what I need to do to achieve my goals.
    My second challenge is – Walking.
    My third challenge is – Water.
    My fourth challenge is – Weight (or should I say the overabundance of same.)
    So I guess I’m on my way to overcoming number one by putting this up here for others to read. As for number two, three and four I will endeavour to overcome those barriers in the next six weeks by following the BT & BS routine. Ideally I would like to break the 100kg barrier, but will be very pleased with 6kg.
    Good Luck to all

  421. Alanah Says:

    Hi I am now ready, I hope. Needed new shoes so I got some ‘body shapers’ their made by skechers. Great to walk in and they come with a DVD. Cheaper on the Net. My main problem will be not to eat that frozen yought after dinner even if it is low in fat and sugar. Must remain focused. A couple of years ago I put on lots of weight when takiing cortisone. Idropped from 65 kgs to 52 in twelve weeks, but I have gone up to 58kgs again stress eating. No amount of walking can compete with that. I bought my Body Sculpt at the health food shop and I will loose between 6-8 kgs.

  422. Sue Says:

    Hi,

    My plan for the next 6 weeks are to:

    1. Stay committed
    2. Organise my meals
    3. Do my BS exercises 3 times per week
    4. Wear my pedometer and do at least 10,000 steps per day
    5. Remember why I’m doing this and enjoy the next 6 weeks

    And I reckon the rest will fall into place.

    Can’t wait for the next 6 weeks and to see my new body and to finally start enjoying my life more.

    Good luck everyone

  423. Rose Gomez Says:

    This challenge has come at a perfect time. I’m heading over to South America at the end of March to visit my relatives for the first time in 16 years and it will be great to be looking and feeling my best. I started my own personal challenge on the 4th of January and am pleased with my results so far. My aim with this challenge is to up the anti and focus more on toning up my problem areas (stomach/abs/lats). Feeling great already but looking forward to feeling ‘awesome’ in 6 weeks time.

  424. Jenniffer Says:

    Feeling a bit scared…………… but kind of excited…(!)

  425. Moya Says:

    My six week goals:
    1. Smash through my plateau and get under 100kg
    2. Drink 2-3 litres of water a day
    3. Do my 10 000 steps each day
    4. Do bodysculpt Tues, Thurs and Sat every morning no excuses
    5. Believe that I can do it and I am worth the effort.

    Good luck to everyone

  426. Brooke Says:

    Hi all,

    I have taken the photo, hung the ‘comfortable/slightly tight’ jeans so that I will see them each day, and I plan to achieve the following:

    1. To make sure I get in the 10,000+ steps per day
    2. To resistance train with the bands each Monday, Wednesday & Friday
    3. To have 3 meals & 3 snacks per day in line with ‘Bodysculpt’

    I am ready for the challenge. My motivation is high, and I will lose at least 6 kilos during this challenge.

    Best wishes to all, and I know you can all achieve your goals.

  427. Michael Says:

    Let’s Get Moving!

    After 12 months from major knee surgury it’s time to get moving and put my knee to work and get this excess weight off to ensure my surgury is successful.

    Goal’s:

    1) lets get under 100kg’s and keep it off.

    2) No excusses for BodySculpting workouts

    40 Love that protien

    3) No more Iced Coffees!……

  428. Cynthia Says:

    I will transform my body in 6 weeks and reach my 1st goal weight of 70kg specifically by:

    1. oganising my meals/snacks in advance
    2. will ensure I do my 10,000+ steps per day
    3. will undertake bodysculpt exercises x 3 times per week (not forgetting the added benefit of drinking coffee/green tea before each)
    4. will drink 2L+ water daily
    5. will do a weekly weigh in and weekly photo’s to track my progress
    6. will keep a food diary and/or journal to monitor my progress and keep me accountable
    7. will recruit a buddy (anyone interested?)

    Most importantly I will start thinking/focusing on the thought that I am THIN rather than I am F@T (don’t even want to write the word as that is already defeating the purpose)

    and as an added bonus to being thinner, healthier, and happier in myself I will WIN the challenge and gratefully accept a cheque in my name for $5000

  429. Jenni Says:

    This is the best timing for me. I have been on the Bodytrim over 2 years had lost 18 kgs. 85kg to 67kg Had a major thyroid problem but have been carefully working on it and it appears to be undercontrol. Put on a couple recently as my husband has decided to separate. We’ve been married 31 years. He left yesterday.SOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    Happy to join the challange

  432. Ann-Marie Says:

    Need to do this challenge. I need to see if I can be so committed in doing this.

    My biggest problem is I procrastinate. Planning ahead of time I know I can lose weight.
    During this last week I planned for this 6 week challenge. I sorted through some personnel and business items which may lead to worries and stress through out the weeks. Boy it feels great being on top of things!

    PLANNING is my biggest weakness – I need to stay on top of it!
    Drinking water – making sure I drink first thing in the morning to kick start the day

    Exercise and food are my strengths.
    My aim is to get back into my skinny jeans and feel good on the inside

  433. Lisa Says:

    Excited about starting tomorrow and achieving my goals.
    Good luck everyone.

  434. Danielle Gartland Says:

    Goal 1 – To believe in myself and have the courage to dream
    Goal 2 – To lose 10kg over the next 42 days
    Goal 3 – To wear my pedometer EVERY DAY and to achieve 10, 000 steps
    Goal 4 – Bodsculplt exercises Mon, Wed, Fri
    Goal 5 – To be wear my wedding band again for the first time in over a year
    Goal 6 – To be happy and healthy within myself.

    It’s not about the money it’s about the transformation for me, making the changes in my life. Thanks Geoff and BT team for giving us all this opportunity.

    LET’S GO!

  435. Lisa Says:

    I am ready for this challenge….mind and body is present.

    1. Keep an honest food diary for the 6 weeks.
    2. Eat clean and stay true.
    3. Limit Pepsi Max to 2 cans per day (this is a biggie for me!!!)
    4. Feel the fat drop away – Goal is for 5 kgs in 6 weeks.
    5. Keep a daily diary on my journey.
    6. Use the visual transformation technique.

    I have already succeeded as I have started.

    • Maria Jones Says:

      Kelly,
      A tip:
      Try drinking one of your Coke Zero on an empty stomach 10 – 15 mins before your morning walk or EPOC exercises. This will give you the caffeine boost to increase your metabolism and is totally legit on the program.

  439. Ally Says:

    My son’s wedding is in 8 weeks. perfect timing to maximise my weight loss and look half decent in photos.

    My goals are to
    1.Lose as much as possible over the 6 weeks and tone the flabby bits
    2.Drink 3-4 litres of water a day
    3.Maintain my current walking program
    4. Follow the bodysculpt lifestyle to the letter

    4.Not quit

    My new motto is “dig deep” – there is always something more.

  444. Maria Jones Says:

    On your Mark – Set – Gooooooooo!

    Have a great week every one. XOX Maria

  445. Maggie Says:

    BS challenge starts today & I’m all fired up!! Last week I started preparing for the 6 weeks ahead and am SO motivated by the results I’m seeing thus far (yes, only 1 week has shown obvious results) Broke my leg in Oct ’09, stacked on almost 20kg, so now that I’m fully recovered, I believe BS has already started to help me lose weight & increase my energy; I look forward to the benefits with which BS will further enrich my life!! Last night, my husband & I emptied out all the carbs & sweets from our pantry/fridge & put up our ideal photos on our fridge, so that each time we open it, we keep our ideal body in mind!! I believe I have what it takes to win this challenge… with God I can all things! Good luck & blessings to all 🙂

    Goals:
    * 6 meals / 3 hr rule
    * 10,000 steps a day
    * min. 2L H2O per day
    * NO CARBS / NO SUGAR-SWEETS!!
    * BS EPOC resistance band training 3 times per week
    * 2 jumpstart days
    * Lose 50kg (to be a size 10 again!)

    • LINDA Says:

      Hello Maggie well done I know you can do it! question have you been on BT or are you jumping straight to the BS I’m a bit confused if you’re supposed to go on to BS when you only have the final kgs to lose, I need to lose at least 20kg can’t seem to get answer anywhere. Linda

      • Maggie Says:

        Hi Linda!! Thanx for the kind words… Yes, I have previously tried BT (early 2009) and lost around 15kg, but then stacked on all the weight (plus much more) after my wedding… So this time around, I’m jumping straight onto BS (I’m willing to sacrifice the carbs & put in the extra EPOC training sessions & jumpstart days), to fast track my weight loss journey! I have alot of weight to lose & am confident that my success, understanding & knowledge from BT will support my BS aspirations… hope this helps u? All the best 🙂

  446. Jess Says:

    3. I will use my diary every day
    4. I will eat every 3 hrs
    5. I will drink 2 – 3 litres of water every day

    7. I will BodySculpt three times every week
    8. I will regularly look at my start photo which is not attractive
    9. I will lose 10 kgs and, hopefully, reduce my BP and cholesterol

    Through the combination of these steps I will feel better than I have in decades and so very, very proud to have been able to achieve something positive.

    Than you Geoff for this opportunity.

  452. Sharon Says:

    Waiting for my pack to arrive, but have been thinking about the goals and what can be achieved during the challenge!

    For me it will be:
    . participating, staying focussed and being action orientated;
    . saying goodbye to the 80s and hello to the 70s at the completion of the challenge, and by the end of this year I’ll be in the 60s and loving it; and
    . most importantly I will be healthy and off the BP meds.

    Wish me luck!

  457. Deb Says:

    Hi Everyone,

    Well it has taken me all this time to be able to post! To be honest I didn’t really think I could do the program. I felt like I wasn’t strong enough.

    I got the Bodysculpt kit and started straight away. It has been one week since I started and I’ve already lost nearly 3kgs. I haven’t had any cravings and have been shocked at how well I have done.

    I have been following the BodySculpt program to the letter!! I still can’t get to 3 x 20 on each exercise, but I can do a few more each time I do it. I guess the main thing is that I just KEEP going!

    My goal is to keep being proud of myself and to continue on.

  458. Annie Says:

    Starting the Challenge at 68.6kg. and 87cm waist measurement. Aim to lose as much as I can in six weeks, but at least 5kg and 5cm off waistline – hopefully more!

  459. Robert Campbell Says:

    Who would have thought that after changing my life with Body Trim another opportunity could arise to take it to the next level.

    I have maintained my goal weight for over 18 months and everyday a new and exciting opportunity presents itself.

    One thing I have always wanted to do is get a six pack and a well sculpted body but have always thought that it was out of my league … not anymore.

    My goals:
    1. Follow the eating guides and come up with a tasty meal plan.
    2. Drink more water 2-3 litres
    3. Exercise 3 times weekly 20 min.
    4. Stay focused and meet the challenge
    5. Lose 2-3kg over six weeks

    6. Aim for the elusive six pack

    As I say to all my friends if I can do it anyone can, I look forward to joining in with everyone’s journey.

  460. Nita Cummings Says:

    I am going to lose 6kg in 6 weeks and continue losing from then onwards until I have lost my 22kg. I will stay on track and use my food diary to achieve this.

  461. pandora Says:

    1. 56kg so lose 7.6kg and body fat from 26.5% to around 2%
    2. Stick to the program
    3. No excuses
    4. Utilize all the tools, dvd’s, meditation, support online, buddies, blogs, support for this challenge.
    5. Just do it.
    6. Believe I can achieve this.
    7. Lose that jelly belly for good!

    I’m fired up, see you at the finish line…. And lets all know that we are all winners already!

  462. Lizzie Says:

    I WILL finish the challenge. I will finish and I will be proud of myself. I deserve this I am capable of doing this. I am commited and I will watch all episodes during the six weeks. If I have an questions I will ask them, I have people around me that are commited to help me acheive my goals.
    Bring it on !!!!

  463. Bernadette Says:

    Drink my water
    10,000 steps a day
    Follow bodysculpt religiously
    Lose 9kg to hit the 60’s again

    Good luck to everyone 🙂

  464. Minnie Says:

    Every year two months before my holidays I always stick to healthy eating and little alcohol…..loose lots of weight…..silly me! Slowly over the next few months back to where I started! But now I feel with the Bodytrim Challenge I can get my weight and life on track….I love Body Trim but as usual do not stick to it….always putting everyone first and myself last. I lost 9 kilos in September and have put 5 back on already. So BODYTRIM CHALLENGE HERE I COME!
    I want to loose the self conscience me….too embarrassed to go to the beach….I want to walk proudly down the street like I was doing in September….so I WILL follow Body Trim to the letter! Thank you Geoff & Co.

  465. Maree G Says:

    Aim to lose as much as I can in 6 weeks.
    Stay focused and stay on the program.
    Change my mindset to this becoming a new way of life not a fad.
    Exercise every day
    Be prepared

  466. Adam Davis Says:

    I am aiming to get down to about 85KG. I do beleive i can do it but i get close to 90kg and then give up. I make reasons why it’s okay to cheat a little more even though i know it sends me backwards. I’m currently about 96kg and will use this challenge to burst through that 90kg and never see 9 again on my scales.

  467. Nelly Says:

    I initially achieved great results on BT this time ast year….. then I lost track of everything and gained back the 7.5kgs that I lost plus 1 more. I really need to get focused but have trouble staying on track. I will make a determined effort this month to do the right thing for myself. I am aiming to get rid of that hideous 7.5kgs in the next six weeks… thats all it took me initially and then keep it moving from there.

  468. Annie Says:

    Am determined to drop a dress size so can get into all my before baby clothes and stop complaining about having nothing to wear!!! Definately need to throw away the maternity swimmers, ughhhh!

  469. Peta Says:

    I want to melt away the years of emotional eating so that the real “me” shows through. I know that I am worth the effort!
    1. I will stick to the 3 hour rule.
    2. I will aim for the 10000 steps a day
    3. I will do the exercises to get rid of my problem thighs!!

  470. Toni Says:

    Hi,

    I’m new to all of this and I am keen to loose as much as I can in the next 42 days.

    I’m not so fussed about the actual weight loss but I want my clothes to fall off!!

    A new wardrobe is well overdue and I want to actually feel like shopping for new clothes!!! (At the moment I am shopping because I have nothing that fits!!!)

    SO here goes and good luck everyone!

  471. Sanji Says:

    I will stay focused.
    I will lose 6-8 Kg.
    I will eat every three hours.
    I will eat the right kind of food.
    I will exercise and do the body sculpt.

  472. Mark Says:

    I have started this at 88 kg. At the end I want to have lost at least 4 kg and be trim toned and terrific

  473. Tina W Says:

    PHEW! Loook at all these posts….Hmmm Like some I have had it pulling something from the wardrobe and not having it fit comfortably. Bulges were you don’t want them, bits hanging over other bits, back aches, pain in legs, bat wings! I WANT TO GET INTO ACTION AND MAKE SOME CHANGES. I don’t have a buddy at the moment but going to ask my husband to help me through it….he is my motivator on many other things. Lets do it….Just DO IT! Get it Done! Make it Happen….ohhh look at that I am motivating myself. YIPPEEEE….off to take photo! Although I don’t have the actual starter pack yet…hope it is on it’s way.

  474. Liz Says:

    I’ll drink 2-3 litres of water every day
    I’ll get on my treadmill every day for at least 35 minutes
    I’ll do the BodySculpt 3 times a week
    I can’t wait to feel better about myself and I will.

  478. Annette Says:

    Before I went to Bali for holidays last October I was very motivated, followed the program and got results. Unfortunately the motivation waned when I got home. I’m in this challenge to get me back on track and achieve my goal weight of 60kg and also to learn new habits that will allow me to maintain that weight or even go further if I decide to. I’ve been overweight for about 20 years I reckon… Time to change that!

  479. Anthony Says:

    Hey,

    My goals for the challenge are to:

    To walk my 10,000 steps everyday
    Write my daily journal
    To drop 4% off my body fat percentage in the 6 weeks
    To not give in to snacks and junk food cravings
    To stick to the 3 EPOC sessions every week.

  480. Sami Says:

    I bought the Body Trim pack several months ago with the suggestion from a good friend. We tracked together and lost nearly 5 kilo’s in as many weeks. I saw the offer of Body Sculpt and went for it straight away, it has taken me nearly 2 months to even watch all the DVD’s. It seems I lose motivation quickly. My work promotes healthy exercise and I do exercise regularly and drink lots of water. I just haven’t been eating the right foods and I’ve gone back to only eating 3 times a day. During this 6 week challange time I am going to…

    1. Take a start photo
    2. Hang those comfy jeans on the door to see every day
    3. Track a food diary
    4. Break the 80 kg barrier

    My goal is to be comfortable with myself.

  481. Julie Says:

    My Goals are:
    To not give into temptation
    To lose 10kgs
    To be able to wear my wedding ring
    To no longer be insulin resistant
    To acknowledge that some days will be tough but I am tougher

  482. Sarina Says:

    My 6 Week Goal:

    To lose 10 – 15 kg
    Bodysculpt Mon, Wed & Fri
    Tone all stubborn areas – tummy, legs & arms
    To stay motivated & focused & not to give up easily

  483. Shall Says:

    I have not yet received my body trim pack yet. Heres hopin it comes soon.
    My goal is to lose 8 kilos in 6 weeks.
    Drink 2-3 litres of water.
    Continue with my exercise program
    Fit into my size 10 jeans.

    As I haven’t yet done bodytrim I was wondering whether I can just do BT or should I do BS as well

  484. Mellyj Says:

    i will win in 2010…………….
    i will take a before photo and confront my body demons
    i will get to my goal weight this year planning on the first 5-10kgs in feb
    i will drink 2-3ltrs of water a day
    i will stick to the eating plan
    i will enjoy time with my kids
    i will look and feel as good as my husband when i see him next when he returns from the army…..

  485. Rachel Says:

    Over the next 6 weeks starting today (Mon 1st Feb)

    I WILL

    – rise early on EPOC days to complete workout
    – prepare and plan my food
    – look at my start picture (which is disgusting) morning & night to understand and be accountable for what I have done & use this as my motivation and to deter me from deviating from the program
    – recruit a buddy
    – loose 10kg
    – reduce body fat by 8%
    – wear a pedometer
    – fill in my daily journal
    – comply with the 3 x 3 (3 hour) rule

    By doing this challenge I will set the foundations for long term focus, motivation and application to achieving my ideal physique.

    By completing this challenge and achieving my mini goal, I have taken the first bite the elephant.

    I will no longer have:-
    – a BMI of 40
    – a body fat % of 45
    – a total weight of 124kg
    – a dress size of 22

    I will have:-
    – a BMI of 20 – 25
    – a body fat % of 25
    – a total weight of 75kg
    – a dress size of 14

    Thanks for making me do the photo Geoff, I really had no idea I looked like this, this is very different to looking in the mirror. It has really opened my eyes.

    I look forward to taking my “Goal Weight Achieved” photo and being able to get my arms back down at my sides parallel to my body!

  490. Annie Says:

    Monday 1st February 2010

    Hi everyone this is a first for me, to take part of a challenge.

    Starting the Challenge at 94.6kg.
    (now I have put the number out there!!)

    • My goal is to loose weight for health reasons
    • Keep my food diary journal – to keep me honest
    • Loose at least 6kgs – on BT this will be more that achievable
    • Always eat every 3 hours
    • Drink at least 2-3 ltrs of water per day
    • Walk at least half an hour per day
    • BodySculpt on Mon Wed & Fri

    So there you have it my friends.

    I can visualise the Finish Line

  491. Marian Says:

    I don’t know whether wanting to lose 20kg in 6 weeks is realistic but that is my aim. At the moment I’m 125kg.

    I have many goals but the main one is to get into the bath for a long soak.
    I used to take having a bath for granted but when you can’t do something anymore you sure do miss it.

    Is it true the older you are the harder it is to lose weight?

  492. Barbara Says:

    During the 2010 Challenge I will:

    1) Lose 5kg (2 kg by Valentines Day)
    2) Stay committed for the entire six weeks (no excuses!)
    3) Exercise six days a week, enjoy 1 day off
    4) Walk 10,000 daily
    5) Drink 2 – 3 litres of water
    6) Not give in to temptation… especially after dinner
    7) Learn how to slow down, relax and enjoy life…

  493. Karen Gardner Says:

    I have my brother’s wedding in 7 weeks so I want to:

    – lose a minimum of 6kgs
    – tone and tighten my ‘mummy tummy’
    – look great in my new dress for the wedding

  495. Val Melville Says:

    My BT goal was to loose 10kg last year June to August,great to see the changes.Lost a further 4 kg from then until Jan 2010, Was reluctant to do the challenge because I really want to firm up my loose skin and some flab on my body,which involves Body sculpt,and I am soon to have knee surgery, and the challenge may hinder my recovery.
    As I pondered this, I thought why not, I can do this until surgery, as it could be six weeks away or more anyhow, and the the great changes and fitness gained will be a plus before surgery. Loosing weight has helped my knee with the weight bearing situation.
    I can loose a bit more weight around tummy area in doing the challenge.
    So I will:
    Do all the requirements needed:
    3 day Body Sculpt – 20 mins
    Daily water intake.
    Keep 3 hr rule
    Continue with my daily 10,000 steps
    I have done the Begin Photo
    Keep my focus on the goal
    Look forward to see the great end result.

    Help Please!

    Geoff or team member or someone else, Concerning ” The Challenge Pack” How do I get to do The Submission – March 9th. Also how do I get

  500. Shirley Jones Says:

    I haven’t ever been out there publicly before, about my weight problems.

    I would like to lose another 10kgs. I lost 10kgs between end Oct and end Dec. I dropped two dress sizes, but need to go more. My Dr is very pleased as I no longer have Pre Diabetes indicators.

    I will take that before photo today.

  501. Kate A Says:

    My dream is to lose the other 5kg when I will be the same weight I was at 21 (a millenium ago!). On Bodytrim I have lost the first 5kg and kept it off. Now it’s time for the rest.

    I will try my hardest and not give up for 42 days.

    Bring it on!

  502. Kerri H Says:

    My goals for this challenge are :-
    I will take a before photo
    I will endeavour to lose at least 5 kilos on this challenge
    I will aim to do my 10,000 stops
    I will follow the Bodytrim and Bodyscult program and remain positive and get myself out of this rutt i have managed to put myself in.

  503. Jan P Says:

    This time I am going to SUCCEED- I will:
    Walk everyday (and on the treadmill when it rains)
    I will look at that ugly photo every day to remind me of what I don’t want!
    I will be enthusiastic and energetic
    I will commit to the challenge for at least 6 weeks
    I will lose at least 10 kilos

  504. jaime Says:

    This is MY year – THE year I WILL IMPLEMENT CHANGE! (wow just writing that so all of you can see it is already making me feel more accountable!)

    Every year I have the same new years resolution – lose weight, tone up bla bla bla. But i’ve always kept a food journal, weighed and measured myself the same time/day every week or month and am pretty fit.

    My downside is I have a massive sweet tooth. I have have been on BT in the past and it worked for me, I lost about 5kgs which was great but I know I can do more. Looking back over the years, I am pretty much the same weight as I have been for 3 years now – maybe fluctuating 1-3kgs.

    I want to break the barrier now though and find myself in the 50’s rather than 60’s kg mark for good!
    * I WILL FOCUS MORE ON 10,000 STEPS RATHER THAN STRENUOUS EXCERCISE
    * I WILL KEEP BUSY RATHER THAN REACHING FOR THAT CHOCOLATE, AND IF I DO WILL HAVE THE WILLPOWER TO ONLY HAVE ONE
    * WILL BLOG AS MUCH AS I CAN & READ OTHER’S ENCOURAGING SUCCESS STORIES
    * PICTURE MYSELF WHAT I WILL LOOK LIKE IN MY NEW BODY
    * WILL ACTIVELY TRY TO MOVE MORE AT WORK

    yee hah game on guys!!!

  505. Shannon Says:

    My goal is to actually do the half hour walk every day ( or a walk in the pool as a I love the water), to get my waist measurement down from – oh my god its already down from just one week of being back on bodytrim ! wow my goal was to get waist from 100 back to 90 but it is only 90. New goal – dare I say 80 ? My god this stuff works fast. Going to try on the fat jeans now.!!! When they say permanent weight loss not joking. I did bodytrim for only 8 weeks and then had about a 100 cheat days and still havent put the weight back on. I think the reason is once you get used to eating well, you even start to cheat better. Miracles….

  506. Hayley Fiegert Says:

    * I will get to my goal weight of 62kg
    * I will get rid of the lumps and bumps in my middle & legs
    * I drink 2-3 litres of water a day.
    * I will walk daily with my kids to reach my 10000 steps
    * I will encourage my husband with his weight loss journey
    * I WILL stay focused on the program
    * I will get a flat stomach after 3 kids
    * I WILL LOVE MY BODY!

  516. Rebecca Caldwell Says:

    Hi everyone, this is all new to me I’ve never been one to join chats or blogs but here goes.

    I currently weigh approx 120kgs I have had BT for quite a while now but due to a whole lot of medical problems within the family BT has been put on hold until now. I want to lose as much as I possibly can during the challenge by:

    1. following the BT system religiously
    2. doing the BS plan mon, wed, fri
    3. walking mornings and evenings to get my 10,000 steps
    4. drinking 2-3ltrs of water each day and remembering the 3hr rule

    Looking forward to the challenge as I feel this will kick start me back to losing

  517. Charz Says:

    I keep my weight in the closet but I’m putting it out there. I weigh 120kg and by the end of the 6 weeks I want to lose 11 kilos. I will achieve this by

    1) Following the BT system
    2) Preparing my meals
    3) Experimenting with different protein snacks
    4) Visualising what I will look like at the end of 6 weeks
    5) Exercising and reaching / exceeding 10,000 setp a day
    6) Refraining from sugary sweets and keeping this for my day off
    7) Being postive in body, mind and spirit
    8) Learn about nutrition and ensure my body is receiving all the nutrients and minerals it requires to prevent hunger

    I don’t want to struggle with my weight anymore. Too many times I give up but I want to succeed and need to succeed so I can conceive.

  518. Trisha Says:

    1. Loose 8 – 10 kilos in the 6 weeks. Wont get the bodyscupt pack for another week but not fazed.
    2. Will finally suck it up and post my god awful picture hoping it inspires me to be true to what I really want……To loose some of me.

  519. Pagey Says:

    Well here goes. I have had a couple of attempts at bodtrim and gave up too easily. Bought Bodysculpt when it came out last year and didn’t even get it out of the box. Cracked the box open and I’m comitted to having a fair dinkum go at the whole thing. My aims are:
    1. Drink the water, always struggle with that, love pepsi max too much.
    2. Stop eating crappy takeaway food.
    3. Minimise alcohol consumption
    4. 100% effort into exercises
    5. Get my body back where it was 15 years ago.
    6. give myself a chance to win $5000 (lets be honest that would be nice!)

  520. Annie Pannie Says:

    MyOk. Deep breath…. I will:
    1) Get the bodysculpt out of the box and commit the time to watching all the dvds and getting my head around it.
    2. I will follow the BS program as required (Not sure what this is yet!)
    #. Do BS workouts on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays.
    5. Lose 7kg and centimetres from my wobbly bits
    5. Set aside time on Monday nights to watch challenge lessons etc
    6. Not blow out at conferences, work dos etc when food is out of my control or tempting.
    7. Feel good about wearing a wedding dress – aim for a size 14.

  521. Mel Says:

    I lost my baby weight on Body Trim and watched my friends lose theirs after they saw my success. December and January saw me eating and drinking like a machine and although I haven’t put heaps of weight back on, I feel like a bit of a failure for completely throwing all of the BT principles out the window. Like many others, I too bought Body Sculpt in the hopes of attaining my dream, toned physique but until now have lacked the motivation to even get past reading the first few pages of the manual. I have never been hugely overweight but I always seem to self sabotage any efforts to get the body I really want because there has always been an excuse that prevented me from making the effort. So, with this in mind, I will aim to:
    1. Walk my daughters to school every day
    2. Maintain the BodySculpt Diet
    3. Do the required excercises
    4. Maintain my commitment to not drinking alcohol for the rest of the challenge.
    5. Use the blog as a bit of ‘therapy’ to get my thoughts out there.
    Good luck to everyone!

    • Sonja Says:

      Hi there…Mel I couldnt believe it when I read your blog. It is EXACTLY my situation and my feelings about my weight. I too purchaed the BS program when it came out, opened the pack, read the first few pages and left it for “later” but later never came until now. I can’t start the challenge until 15 February because I had minor surgery which required 2 weeks of no heavy lifting or sport, so I have taken the opportunity to watch the DVDs and read the manual. I am more than happy to buddy up with you if you are looking for one because I know I will need the support and someone to keep me focused on my goal of getting back to my pre-baby weight and better.

      • Mel Says:

        Hi Sonja!
        I would love to be your buddy! We’ll almost be on track together as I haven’t watched the DVD’s or started the exercises but have started the diet on Feb 1. I’m hoping to get to the DVD’s today so I can get going! I hope you’re not feeling too sore after your surgery. How have you been going with the diet so far?

    • Sonja Says:

      Hi Mel, sorry for the late reply. Here is my e-mail (sonja.aleksandrova@gmail.com) so that we can communicate direct because I can access my e-mail muchquicker than this website. Mel to be honest I havent even started the diet yet. I know this is going to sound a bit lame but I have this thing about starting it altogether and it has to be a Monday…Mel do you know what the deal is with submitting the application by March 9? Also, there have been some really good questions regarding whether we should only be doing BT or BS in this challenge. I will be starting this challenge at 68 kgs which is pretty bad considering I managed to get to 61 kgs after my second baby. Since September 2009 I have piled on 7 kgs ugh. Do you think I should be losing the fat via BT first or do BS as well?

  522. Kathy Says:

    My goal is to lose the last 12 kgs in the next 6 week challenge and totally transform my body & my mindset so I can be more confident and go buy a new wardrobe.
    Lets do it everyone!!! All the best.

  523. Mellanie Says:

    To Lose 6 kilos in the next 6 weeks
    To Lose a further 6 in the following 6 weeks
    To be comfortable with myself again

  524. Louise Says:

    1) Aim for 6kgs loss.
    2) Walk everyday even if I have reached my 10 000 steps incidentally.
    3) Keep focused on and plan what and when I eat.
    4) Be proud of my daily achievements.
    5) Give up smoking.

  525. Peta Says:

    1. To hopefully lose around 6kg. To stay motivated and organise my meals properly. Make sure I do my 10000 steps every day and I guess most of all improve my health and lower my blood pressure.

  526. Ursula Says:

    1. Loose at least 6kgs
    2. Complete 10,000 steps per day
    3. Complete 3 resistant training sessions per week
    4. Ensure that I keep a daily food diary and eat every 3 hours
    5. NO alcohol for the 6 weeks
    6. Most importantly feel better about myself and improve my self confidence

  527. Elaine Says:

    1. Keep up with the 3+3 meals
    2. Lose 3kg
    3. Resist my favourite food.
    4. 3 Resistant training session per week.
    5. Target the trouble spots.

  528. Paul Daniel Says:

    Back again,
    WOW I cant beleive just how much easier this week has been in sticking to everything as I put it out there in writing so I am accountable to more than just myself, Yeah!, thanks everyone, even the sugar cravings have diminshed,
    Thought that has well as having the initial photo I could be even more accountable having my measurements recorded up front to, Mon bodywt 82.4 kg, chest 105 cm, ab 82cm, at belly button 86cm, hips 95cm, upper thigh 63cm, bicep 30cm.
    Meant to say the other day, GOODLUCK everyone!!

  529. Trisha Says:

    I am doing BT at moment as wont get BS kit for week or so. But do not have a buddy yet either if anyone spare ? Good luck everyone.

    • Jeni Says:

      Hi Tisha,
      I am the same as you, doing BT because my BS hasn’t come yet. Happy to buddy up if you want. Good luck.
      Jeni

      • Trisha Says:

        Hi Jeni, This is Trisha would love to be your buddy am really new to this and not sure how we go about chatting etc except through here. Are we meant to get each others email address or just help and encourage each other here ? Can some one let us know.

    • Jeni Says:

      Hi Trisha (spelt your name right this time. Sorry about my bad typing). I am also new so I think it will be the blind leading the blind. Could be easier for the novices to communicate via email. Mine is jenibeattie@bigpond.com. Really looking forward to be a good support for each other. Talk soon.

  530. Kerrianne Says:

    Wow so many committed people. I feel quite humbled to be amongst so many like minded people striving for similar goals.

    Do my 3 body scultp work outs and walking before my day begins during the week. Which means early mornings( ugh!)
    Walk everyday on my treadmill for 1 hour
    Go to bed earlier
    Do my 3 + 3 food intake
    Give myself permission to stumble but still get back up and go again till I reach the end.
    Lose 5kg and reach my pre baby weight
    Lose that tummy I want a small 6 pack
    Tone those legs and trim them DOWN
    Be proud of myself and inspire my hubby to start doing something that will ultimately help his back!!

    So Go Go Go………

  531. Princess Says:

    I will stick to the plan, watch all the e-lessons & actually apply them. I will lose 10kgs in this challenge. My major goal is to get this weight off, tone up, feel healthy, happy & vibrant and put a stop to 25 years of yoyo dieting.

  532. Helen Says:

    I am going to stick like glue to this challenge.
    My goal is to get some more weight off and keep it off. I challenge myself to lose another 5kgs in this challenge.

  533. JoPR Says:

    Still waiting for my BS pack to arrive. Been one week today from ordering. Feel like I’m missing out and just want to join in and start the challenge. The longer it’s taking the more the ‘fire’ is dulling… fingers crossed it turns up tomorrow.

  534. Tish Says:

    Well here are my thoughts for you all to see.

    I took a long hard look at myself and my head space early this year and said to my self that I wasn’t going to kid myself anymore…no more trying to diet..no more starving…salavating at a chocholate that left you with an empty promise..And I have became a contstant lier saying to myself I will loose weight only for it to last a week and again deliver another broken promise to my partner and kids…I whent out some time ago last year and bought the sexiest dress ever and told myself and my family that I will fit into it this summer (size 14) as we all know summer is here and I’m still a size 20 (another broken promise).

    So I post this to you all and make the last promise to myself that I will never sit and contemplaite why I am this way. I am saying I will be that girl I dream to be. I will wear that dress I have hanging in the wardrobe and I am going to change my lifestyle and never enter into another diet and a broken promise again.

    This challenge was meant to be..see you at the finish line.

    Geoff thank you for believing in me and us all.

    5. Do bodysculpt exercises 3 days per week
    6. Try to drink 2 litres of water
    7. Plan my food every night for the next day and make time to shop as needed
    8. Enjoy the process

  536. Michelle Quinsee Says:

    I am a bit late as I had to get the all clear from the Specialist (yesterday). I have benign tumors in my liver – praise God they are benign. But I am all clear to follow the diet and workout so I AM IN!

    1. I WILL take the start photo (much as I don’t want to)
    2. I will follow the Bodysculpt programme faithfully.
    3. I will hang those comfy jeans where they can be seen.

    GOAL
    I will lose at least a dress size over the challenge period, which will give me more abdominal room and put less physical pressure on my liver which should take away the direct and radiated liver pain that I feel. THAT will allow me to go back to being a happy and vibrant person with energy to burn. I am ready for 2010 to be MY YEAR!

    • Jennifer Says:

      Hi Michelle and Everyone

      My goals! 🙂
      1. stay focussed on the BSculpt program rules
      2. find enjoyable options for snacks if the going gets tough
      3. have clothes fit properly

      I’m finding it easier to cook for my family now! There seem to be many more options!! FYI, my husband has lyphoma and is improving – praise God too! Also I don’t have a buddy for this challenge and was planning to go it alone…then I reviewed the Kick start and thought i’d better marshall all resources!! (Please let me know if you’d like a buddy – no pressure to do so though.)

      • Michelle Quinsee Says:

        Love to be your buddy 🙂
        I don’t have a buddy either.

        Very glad to hear your husband is doing better.

    • Jennifer Says:

      Great! My email is jennifer@rileys.id.au Talk to you soon. 🙂

  537. shelley Says:

    So a couple of questions: Firstly is anyone interested in a like-minded buddy? I’m a 41 year old mum of 2 looking to loose at least 15kg.
    I started BT last year and lost 3 kilos, however I don’t think I was as strict as I should have been. Still, I’ve heard of others who worked less than me and lost 3 times as much. SO – I decided to break through the barrier and purchased Body Sculpt and joined the 6 week challenge.
    My next quesion is, should I have given BT another (more serious) go before starting on BS? I might add I’m extremely motivated and have completed my first 2 resistance training sessions. I’ve also been following all the food guidelines strictly, including pre and post eating compliance. I just love it but will I not lose weight because I didn’t lose the initial amount on BT????
    Last quesion: The only bad thing I’ve eaten so far is a battered fish bite when I was out and about and it had been 3 hours since my last meal.
    I didn’t want to leave it any longer. Can anyone suggest an alternative protein snack? (And on zig zag days, protein/fat snack)?

    • Lisa Says:

      Hi Shelley,

      I’m happy to be your Buddy if you are still looking for one.

      If I get stuck when I am out I buy 1/4 BBQ chicken from Woolies/Coles or a BBQ chicken shop and take the skin off. On zig zag days I have cashews.

      Stick to BS and give it everything you have for 6 weeks. What have you got to lose other than weight!

      Cheers (with a glass of water in my hand)
      Lisa

  543. Pierre Colin-Thome Says:

    Hi Geoff,

    thanks so much for this system of yours !! Last May I was 120 kg and my Doctor put me on cholesterol, blood pressure tabs and I almost had diabetes. Thanks to body trim I got to 102 kg and I am off the pressure tabs and blood sugar has gone to acceptable levels. After getting Bodytrim, I got to 96kg, but with the festive season, I am battling just under 100kg. At the end of this 6 week period, I wan’t to get to 88-89 kg and the doctor will re-assess if I can get off the cholesterol tabs. I will also start trying to date again. Thanks for all your help.

    Cheers
    Pierre

  544. Amanda Says:

    I have found bodytrim and Bodysculpt to be great but since mid Dec I have gone off the rails and put alot of my weight back on! I think this is mainly because of being disorganised over the school holiday period! I’m ready to take control again and plan to:
    1. Drink 2-3 litres of water a day
    2. Follow bodysculpt 100 % for 6 weeks
    3. Do 10,000 steps as a minimum and do my walk for 30 mins at 6am before getting the kids ready for kindergarten and school.
    4. Take my before photo
    5. Take my measurements

  545. Denise Townsend Says:

    Just getting started, was away for 3 days, hope to get myself motivated
    have struggled all my life with my weight, i lost 25kg in 2008, and put it all back on after having my hysterectomy

    I really want to try hard, time is my biggest problem

  546. Alanah Says:

    Hi DEnise Townsend you can do it girl. Go go go I will support you email if you feel you want to talk. I believe in you

  547. Bree Says:

    – Lose 5 Kilo’s
    – Reduce Body Fat Percentage
    – Lose CM off my body

    – Exercise to the Body Scuplt Plan

  548. Edwina Says:

    I will commit to the following during this challenge:

    2. Lose at least 5 kilos;
    3. Commit to achieving the 10,000 steps per day – including a 30 min walk at lunchtime – use the pedometer;
    4. Following Bodysulpt nutrition & exercise program;
    5. Stick to the three hour eating rule.

  549. Bec Says:

    I started Bodytrim over a year ago and then fell off the wagon and have been wanting to start back on the program again but have been finding it really hard to get the motivation…. until Geoff sent out this challenge. It was just what I needed, thanks Geoff!

    I will stay focussed on the BSculpt program. I will drink 2-3 litres of water a day and do the Bodysculpt excercises.
    I will eat all my meals and snacks and walk to and from work everyday and try to do the 10,000 steps everyday.
    I have asked my husband to help me this time by not eating chocolate etc in front of me and to go for walks with me. (he doesn’t need to lose anything)
    I WILL be successful this time! I want to fit into any/all of my old clothes and to be able to buy some new ones, and I will finally look sexy.
    I also do not have a buddy, so if there is still someone out there that is looking for one, please let me know.

  550. Bec Says:

    Hi Lisa,

    Yes that would be great, thanks mate. 🙂
    What do we do from here now?

  551. Lisa Says:

    Not real sure Bec I think what other people have been doing is exchanging email address’s & just emailing each other. I to have done body trim & went off the wagon. I really struggle with all the protein sometimes and are wanting to buy some protein powder to break it up a bit but most of the 750g powders are sold out. Want to try before I buy 4kg. So I think the idea of a buddy is jus to comunicate with each other in regards to how we are going etc & some support if we are struggling.
    If this is what you are after give me your email address & we will go from there.

  552. Bec Says:

    That sounds great mate, but are we supposed to put our emails on this website as everyone can see them? Is there another way of swapping emails?

  553. Lisa Says:

    I’m not sure. That’s what other people have been doing.
    If you can think of any other way?

  554. Bec Says:

    I just rang the help line to ask and the lady i spoke to said that we are supposed to be doing it through the forum, but if she finds out anything else, she said that she would email me.
    The only other thing I can think of, would be face book if you are on it? If you don’t mind putting your last name on here, then I could look you up?
    Otherwise, I am fine with doing it over here if that is easier?

  555. Lisa Says:

    Through this is fine then if that’s ok with you.

    Thanks Bec

  556. Bec Says:

    No probs Lisa 🙂

  557. Lisa Says:

    Bec are you talking about the availabilty of the other protien flavours in the 750g size??
    I have sent them an email but waiting on response.

    Thanks

    • Bec Says:

      No, i ordered the 4kg one and I only got it yesterday but they sent me the wrong flavour, so I had to post it back. I was talking about how to chat, but i have decided to just send you my email anyways cause this is too slow. (becste@internode.on.net) Just make sure that you write something in the subject line so that i know it is you otherwise it will be deleted.
      Chat soon.

    I’m starting late as well – two years ago I happily let go of 30 kilos, unfortunately I ate my emotions back up 25 kilos. I have heaps of gorgeous size 10-12 clothes calling my name. Now to find a way to exercise that doesn’t require too much walking on a damaged foot and get back to appreciating that I am so worth the care and time to be healthy – six weeks is a great start. If I could only make sense of the body scuplt exercise –

  584. Tula Says:

    I have been a little slow on the blog thing but did start the challenge on the 1st. My motivation is wavering a bit which is why i thought i would try and check out this site. I was a little unsure how to access it but it seems I have found out. Anyhoo, my goals for the challenge are

    1. To loss 7 kgs
    2. To drink lots of water
    3. To limit my fat snacks to the two days during the week
    4. To use this site when I feel like I carn’t be bothered dieting anymore or my love of ice-cream gets the better of me.
    5. To be aware of when I am wanting to break my diet and ask myself why???

  585. Deb Says:

    Hey All,

    Keep fighting the war against fat!!

    I’ve done 3 1/2 weeks and I’ve lost 4.5kg. The compliments have started rolling in which is nice. I can fit clothes I haven’t been able to wear for ages. People have commented also on how clear my eyes look.

    I still can’t complete 3 x 20 reps of each exercise but push as far as I can go.

    Stay strong and positive guys.

  586. Marjory Says:

    Hi Deb – so pleased to see your message. I too have been doing well but have been struggling with the last exercise (waterski squats). I am getting a bit further each time and with less pain the next day = it is just so good to see someone else acknowledge that it is not easy. The first few exercises I manage o.k. but the straight up one, where you stand on the band, I have to do 6 x 10 instead of 3 x 20. No matter what, it still feels good once I’ve finished so I’m keeping on in there!!

    • Deb Says:

      I can only do 3 x 10 on the stand on the band exercise – it’s tough! I just do 3 sets of whatever I can. I’ll get there haha!

      I’m still feeling strong and am happy with the results so far. Only 2 weeks to go on this challenge – then I will need to continue on my weight loss journey.

  587. Jacinta Goodman Says:

    Hi Jancinta,
    Started being serious on Monday and have lost 2 kg I like the idea of extra fats as I like nuts so find that part easy, I just have to keep off the sweets, and drink 2 litres of water. How are you going?do hope you reply Diane Merry

    • Diane Merry Says:

      Hi Jacinta think I put the wrong thing in as you look as if you writing to your self hope you get this one Diane

  588. Shirley Says:

    I bought BT last year as well, did loose some weight but have gained it all back again due to time being a factor with me, but reading all of these posts has got me motivated again.
    So I am going to try again with BS as well
    My goals are:
    lose 6 kgs in six weeks
    Use BS Mon Wed Fri and exercise other days
    Keep my motivation going by reading posts
    Make sure I allow time to plan my day

    • Melissa Ped Says:

      Well I hope we can keep you motivated. I have lost weight on BT, and then yo-yoed for a little bit trying to get back on track and this seem to be the kick in the bum I have needed to bypass all the excuses. It helps when you are answerable to someone even if they don’t know you. So all the best, after the first week I am sure you will see some good results. Melissa

  589. Robyn Straw Says:

    I am doing everything right, but the scales do not wont to go down Is anyone else having that problem? It is so frustrating Eating every 3 hours doing the BS 3 times a week . and walking 10000 steps every day Drinking lots of water, I have lost 15 Kg and have only 4 Kg to go and I was hoping I would be there in this 6 weeks, I know I have to keep going, Any suggestions on how to start the weight loss again Congratulations to everyone that is loosing. I wont to join you. Robyn

    • Melissa Ped Says:

      Although I’m not that close to my goal at the moment, have been down to those last kilos before goal a long time ago and I found that they are really hard to start shifting but once they do you will probably find that once the kilos start shifting again you will lose what you want and then some. Have you measured? That always helps me when the scales wont say what I want them to, especially when you compare them with your starting measurements before you lost your 15kg (which by the way is fantastic) so that you can see just how far you have come and just keep doing the great job you have been and remember not to stress about it. Not sure maybe you could try to up your steps to 15000 instead of 10000, if you are able. Anyway hope to read about your success soon. Just keep going it will happen. Melissa

    • Melissa Ped Says:

      PS Try dividing up your 50g snack and eat it every hour. Good Luck Melissa

  590. Julia Says:

  595. Jarrine Says:

    Yes I too am glad to not be the only one still at the starting gate. Have had so many excuses why to leave all till the last minute, mostly like to set myself up to fail.
    Not this time.
    My goals for the next 42 days are
    *Posture – want to set a great example for my children and especially to myself.
    *Lose weight and become confident and able to look at myself in a full length mirror and want to be in photos.
    *BS 3 times a week and walk daily.
    *Drink my 3 litres every day
    *To be happy
    *I would love to lose 7kg in the 42 days and to then have the momentem carry me on to lose the next 8kg and to never look back
    *To enrol my family to support me every step of the way.
    *To take photos of myself so I can see the changes and be proud of my achievements

    Good Luck to everyone, especially all us late starters.

  601. Bec P Says:

    I just wanted to say that I hope everyone is doing well. Keep up the great work!!

  602. Kathy Says:

    Four days in and I must say feeling great! I am finding if I do an hour walk in the morning I manage over 10,000 steps early – I’m keeping to 3 hour and before and after compliance – to-day is my second try with the bands – they are a bit of a challenge -am using red to start with I’m not quite sure whether that is right or not but thought I would start there.
    My downfall has been having the odd wine or two. Going out with the girls for lunch tomorrow – know I can rely on the Caesar salad(no croutons) & long black.
    Keep on powering on.

  603. Leza Says:

    Day 4 for me and I must say I woke up feeling really tired – children didnt sleep so well last night. Was grumpy but ended up going to the gym to get my steps in and feel a lot better.
    Does anyone know if you are only aloud to drink black coffee or can you drink the occasion white coffee and tea.

    Hope everyone else is all fired up

  604. Kathy Says:

    Hi Leza I’m not sure about the coffee either but occasionally I have a skinny cap and I don’t think it made too much difference – does anyone else know more about coffee & tea??
    I love going to the gym – I do Body Combat on Monday, Litepace Wednesday and Salsa dancing Friday. I just hope I’m not over doing it, but the gym is also a social outlet, and the group act as my buddies.

  605. Robyn Says:

    Hi Leza and Kathy, I asked awhile ago if I could have my skinny Caps in mug and was told don’t have any more than 3 per week I still lost. I enjoy my Caps when out.

  606. Kathy Says:

    Thanks Robyn I enjoy my caps too.

  607. Leza Says:

    Thanks Robyn and Kathy that is good to know as I do like to have a skinny flat white while out. Man it is going to be hard.

    I am finding that I have zero energy by the time it hits about 4pm and my patience is very thin. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this.

  608. Rhonda Says:

    Lose 5kg
    Drink 2 to 3 litres of water daily.
    Eat every three weeks
    Start 15 Feb

  609. Deb Says:

    Word of encouragement….

    I’ve been doing the challenge for 4 weeks now (just starting my 5th) and I have lost 6.9kg so far.

    I found last week really hard because all my kids were sick and we were all run down with colds but I continued on!! I still can’t manage 3 X 20 of each of my exercises but getting there.

    Keep up the great work guys… you CAN do it!

  610. Criss Says:

    Hi, I cant find a buddy as I live out in the bush, so other farmers are quite far, so any one need a buddy?.
    Also do u email or post your before photo now or later?.
    Criss

    • Kathy Says:

      Hi Criss I need a Buddy I once came from the bush.
      You don’t have to post or email your photo now I think we do it at the end of the Challenge – one before and one after. There is a chart in the BS package where you can paste your photos. Some people have uploaded theirs to this page I don’t know how to do that – I think I would frighten everyone off if I did – ha ha! Would love to know how though if anyone could tell me. My email address is kpalinkas2@bigpond.com if you would like to keep in contact that way instead of here.
      Kathy.

  611. Criss Says:

    Hi Kathy.
    Sure that would be great, & will let u know about uploading pic soon ok.

  612. Kylie Says:

    I am posting a little late but started last week. I am committed to sticking this out and have made the following goals:

    – Stick to bodysculp eating/bands 3 x per week
    – Do some form of Cardio on the days I’m not doing bands
    – Drink 2-3 litres of water
    – walk 10000 steps
    – lose minimum 5 kilos
    – 100% COMMITTMENT AND FOCUS!!!!

    I dont have a buddy Criss so happy to be your buddy if you still want one!!

  613. Ann Norman Says:

    Hi all, There are so many highly committed people out there.
    I am starting a bit late. Took my photo, but then for family reasons needed to travel looking after a family member.
    Time not my own & forgot to pack my BS> Home this week but going back to baby sit in Qld again for 2 weeks this Monday. Taking BS with me this time.
    Family member knows that I AM Going for my walks & doing my BS Mon, Wed & Fri. & drinking 2/3 litres of water daily.
    I have offered to do all the cooking so that there is no embarrassement re food issues. I’m sure they won’t mind.
    I started doing BT & lost 6 kilos & still need to lose 20 more, but for this challenge I won’t have the full 6 weeks left. I am going to lose 4 Kg & shrink my belly, arms & thighs.

  614. Kathy Says:

    Well done Ann – with all you are doing sounds so busy. Hope it all works out well for you – stick to it – even if you continue BT and do the bands I reckon you will do well.

  615. Kathy Says:

    Shock !!Horror!! Measured myself yesterday as didn’t lose last week – have increased measurements – what am I doing wrong? Am I overdoing it – I’m using blue band and red for shoulder press 30reps x 3.
    This morning I weighed myself and AT LAST 1 1/2 WEEKS IN I HAVE LOST .5 -feeling great – It is strange but my body feels better – more pulled in if you know what I mean – anyone else experiencing this??

    • Lisa Says:

      Hi Kathy,

      T put on .6kg in the second week & I too was shocked as I had been doing everything 100%. I am please to say that I’m into my 4th week & have lost a total of 5.3kg. So keep going the scales will go down. Have you taken your measurements?

      • Kathy Says:

        Thanks Lisa my measurements are now starting to go down – still not losing much but plodding on!

  616. Kathy Says:

    Thanks Lisa – yes I did yesterday and felt terrible -measurements had increased -It maybe that I am bulking up using blue band and 30 reps – did bands this AM used blue because Im quite comfortable with blue but reduced reps to 20 – found it much easier – so lets see what happens now was so pleased to lose just .5 after 1 1/2 weeks.

  617. Sandie Says:

    Found you at last – I went back through the emails and found the link at the very bottom of one of them. I have been plugging on with I, me and myself for the last four weeks. The weight has started to move downward again after a plateau period.

    Love the exercises with the bands but would like to ask some questions about the breathing – do you breathe in at the beginning or on the way back.

  618. Kathy Says:

    Hi Sandie – glad to hear you have busted through your plateau – I have too but only just .5 I love the bands too breathing is easy – breathe in as you pull back breath out when you extend. Watch Geoff’s videos I think lesson 3 and four show you how. Also lesson 4 video had great tips.
    Good luck Kathy

  619. Sandie Says:

    Thank you Kathy – I have just had a look at video 4 but video 3 seems to have disappeared.

    I was starting worry about the plateau because I have been able to drop 5-8 kilos on just about any weight loss program I tried in the past but then I stall and then give up. I started BT last August and at first I thought it was just going to be the same.

    Geoff mentioned in one of his videos I received by email that Melbourne Cup to Australia Day are bad times to be trying to loose weight. I concur with that and that is where I was at when my weight loss stalled. This BS challenge is just what I needed. I have now lost a total of 12.5 kilos.

  620. Faye Says:

    The videos I have received are driving me nuts as they are continually pausing and disjointed so I am unable to follow anything properly. I thought you get the whole system to trial but how where are the actual exercises and the food lessons?? Nothing on my programme.

    • Kathy Says:

      Hi Faye is seems no one has replied to you – I think you need to phone BS team and ask them these questions. You need to go to top right side of this page and all the info should be there. GOOD LUCK

  621. Therese Says:

    I will start this challenge (although a little late)..

    I will lose 7kg in the coming 6 weeks

    I will increase my exercise

    I will stop stuffing my face with bad foods..

    I will return to my post baby weight ( 4 years down the track!)

  622. Deb Says:

    Hey Everyone,

    Well I never did receive my challenge pack – even though I put my name down. That didn’t stop me from doing the 6 week challenge!

    I have just finished my 6 weeks and I feel fantastic. I couldn’t be happier. I lost 9.2kg in 6 weeks and it feels so great to be fitting into clothes I couldn’t fit into before.

    I still have another 15kg to lose and I was wondering where to from here? Do I set myself another 6 week goal? Or do something else? Could one of the Bodytrim staff answer this…or anyone else who knows?

    happy happy happy!!

  623. Leza Says:

    Hi Deb,
    You must be so proud of yourself you have done fantastic. Well I would say it is upto you … you can either keep doing BS or change over to BT.

    Me personally am going back to BT miss having a free day. If you need a buddy my email is shane_leza@hotmail.com.
    Cheers

  624. Kathy Says:

    Hi Deb WELL DONE how clever are you – I’m not doing so well but am losing when taking measurements – I never received my challenge pack either – but someone posted the string to get onto the site so did that and now following on the comments such as yours – no you don’t have to set another goal but if you want to get to YOUR goal then setting small ones is good. Now you need to send in your “before and after photos” with 200 word assay – I guess you email this but you will need to read the terms and conditions of this challenge GO INTO KICKSTART CHALLENGE AT TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THIS PAGE all the lesson are there too. Good Luck

  625. Lisa Says:

    Week 6 bring it on!!
