Rating: Summary: Helpful, but... Review: ...there were but so many times I could repeat the same "goals for the day" and how I was going to help others on a daily basis. I think it would have been better to state those things once a week at most. There was no place to put down how I was feeling like you would typically do in a journal. After about day thirty, I stopped using the journal. It was just too repetitive and I couldn't come up with anything new. I did like the daily "Lesson-For-Life" written by Bill Phillips. But, the rest of the journal was just too repetitive.I would change the journal in it's current format to just be a weekly entry instead. I still highly recommend his original book "Body-For-Life". I get more out of that, reading bits here and there, than the daily journal.
Rating: Summary: Pricey, but a good way to stay focused and organized. Review: The body for life plan involves planning your eating and exercise sessions in advance, and then keeping detailed records of them on a daily basis. The program is a "12-week challenge" - i.e. 84 days. This journal provides all of the necessary forms in a hardback, mini-binder sort of format to plan and track your eating and exercise sessions for those 84 days. Additionally, for each day there is a motivational type blurb and a new "success story", complete with the before and after photos. It's a bit pricey but it's a great tool for getting organized and tracking your progress. It will also provide a record of your progress. A couple of minor gripes: 1) Sundays are free days so he doesn't provide pages for those days. It would be nice to have at least a couple of blank pages in there for your notes and observations for those days. And 2) Since the program is all very regimented, so are the forms which means that if you want to deviate from the program or "tweak" it a bit to fit your schedule/lifestyle the journal is going to either not fit at all or be a bit out of whack. Overall, it's a good tool for your first "12-week challenge". I'm guessing that if you go on to do more challenges you'll end up devising something of your own creation.

Rating: Summary: Buy the book Review: a waste of my money. I am still interested - but If you don't have his, but that first!
Rating: Summary: Reinforcement & Direction for your Body-For-Lifestyle Review: Bill Phillips has come through again. Although I can just hear the critics now....Same stuff, too simple, marketing scam, myoplex sales ad, does not know differance between carbohydrates and veggies (that one is a classic)....and so on. However, Bill believes in and preaches a "philosophy" that is on tried and true fundamentals...END OF STORY! No, this new success journal will not contain any new conceps or theories. Just the same fundamentals he has been preeching for a long time. So if your in the market for a space aged book filled with fancy new technical mumbo jumbo....this book is deffinately not for you. But if you buy into fundamentals and the "inside-out approach" way of living, this journal will become a perfect compliment to your lifestyle and will help you get the most out of your life. In fact, the reason I love this journal so much is that the main focus is on application of the little things he talks about in Body for Life. The little things that even your most loyal Body-for Lifers dont buy into. I constantly read or hear about how people like the program but add a little of this, or take away a little of that. So much so that they fail to clearly see the "big picture" of what Body for Life is all about! The new success journal reinforce's that "big picture" all over again. Thank You Bill for your encouragement. You have made a real differance in my life.
Rating: Summary: Excellent companion Review: everything in one book. nomore printing off the logs. It's all in one book now. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: best help for body for life success Review: Finally, here it is. A journal that brings together success stories every day, meal planning, exercise planning, and goal setting for all 84 days of the Body for Life Transformation. It is helping me to stay on track. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Get a life!! Review: First, it was "Body for Life in 12 weeks", then comes this empty binder, followed by "Easting for Life". The three books show how easy it is for a mindless person to get his nonsensical garbage out to the bookstores. In this book, the author is selling his nice looking picture on an empty binder. In all his books, Bill Phillips shows total disregard to modern science and preys on unwary readers seeking healthy way of living. Physical health cannot be promoted by commercial supplements and hasty workout plan. It must be a life-long pattern of staying mobile and active. Exercise and healthy diet do not alter the body in few weeks. Blood vessels and cells demand long and steady health practice to adapt to lifestyle changes.
