Body for Life Program

fatboy235

Good morning all my MFP friends. With all the diet trends out there (and believe me i've tried my share to include low carb, vegan, paleo, weight watchers etc) I always seem to plateau. I first tried Bill Phillips Body for Life challange in 2005. I had great success with the diet portion. The strict exercise program I was not able to maintain due to several sports related injuries over the years. I can lift light to medium weight and do some cardio but that's really it. Like some of you on this site, I have struggled with weight issues since I was a little kid. Once I went over 200 pounds i've never been able to get below it. Once again I have dropped 23 pounds with the help and support of my friends on this site and am currently sitting at 223 which is where the dreaded plateau hits. My calorie goal is 1680 and for the most part i'm usually around 1400-1500. I walk 2 miles everyday and still play some softball during the week but that's it. Work and family duties have my time compressed. Since i've stumbled a bit on the topic, have any of you had continued success on the Body for Life program and if you did how did you break the dreaded plateau. Thank you for the response and taking time to read this. Make it a great day.
