 I had known about Body-for-LIFE Challenge® for ten years.
Every once in a while, I would go online and check out the
new champions and their stories, and wonder if this was
something I could actually do. Like a lot of people who
see these pictures for the first time and read the stories, I
thought it was impossible for me, a mother of three with a
million tasks on her hands and no childcare, to even dream of
making a transformation. Michelle Lee Gregory Kemp Donna Szabo Ron Tindall

Impossible it was. That is until the day I made the

commitment to start and finish the Body-for-LIFE Challenge.
If you are like me and you’ve considered doing this Challenge
many times before, I tell you NOW is your moment. You have

computer. My life didn’t change once I had completed the challenge—It changed the moment I

when I say that I understand! In my profession there isn’t anything less appealing than an out-of-
shape Marine! But here’s the rub—I don’t believe that the pictures are even for you. You see they
are for the future Challengers and Champions that will follow your lead and be inspired by you.
They are for the everyday folks like us that are looking for a reason—any reason—to break the
chains holding them down from becoming who they were born to be. It’s the BEFORE pictures that
lend validity and credibility to those AFTER pictures. They are the WOW factor, the inspiration, the
proof that this program can work for you too! Unless you complete and send in this kit, nobody will
know your story. The life altering ripples that you could spread from these thin sheets of paper will
be lost. Friends, family, and possibly thousands of others will miss the inspiration that would have Sarah Brown

 Questions and Answers
about the Body-for-LIFE® Challenge
Q: What is the Challenge all about?
A: When EAS created the Challenge concept and held our first event 14 years
ago, we hoped it would inspire people to make exercise and proper nutrition a
top priority in their lives. Many people know what to do, but we’ve discovered
that they need an incentive to help them focus. The idea worked, and now the
Body-for-LIFE Challenge has become internationally known around the world.
But to many, it signifies much more than building a better body… the Challenge
is a celebration of what is best about the human spirit. It’s about the growth and
goodness we can all experience when we harness our untapped potential to
change—to move forward and improve all aspects of our lives.
Q: I would like to accept the Challenge, but I don’t know much about
nutrition and training. Where can I learn more?
A: We recommend these sources of information: Body-for-LIFE, Champions
Body-for-LIFE, www.bodyforlife.com, and for those participating in the United
States, our Body-for-LIFE Advisors, who you can call at 1-800-297-9776. The
Body-for-LIFE books are comprehensive and easy to read. They can help you
learn how to build muscle and burn fat fast through an integrated approach to
training and nutrition. They both contain vitally important information on how
to set goals and achieve them, as well as providing you with the opportunity
to learn from others who have successfully completed the 12-week Program.
Body-for-LIFE books are available at booksellers everywhere.
Q: I have accepted your Challenge in the past, but didn’t make it all 12
weeks. Can I enter again?
A: Yes!
Q: I’m not sure if I will be able to reach my goal in 12 weeks. Can I enter
more than once?
A: Yes, you can. We admire those who have the strength of character to
keep going. You may enter as many times as you like this year, as long as the
dates do not overlap.

Tracy Jeffries Q: Do I have to keep track of my weight or body fat percentage
2002 Runner-Up to officially compete in the Challenge?
A: Yes, you must include your weight on the entry form (page 3). However, body fat
percentage is optional. Please share the information about your progress that is meaningful
to you. For some it will be body composition percentages, for others it will be cholesterol
levels or blood pressure. Many women find that dress size is a meaningful indicator;
whereas many men find that keeping track of their waist size and the size of their arm or
leg to be a good measure of success. It is completely up to you. Get creative!
Q: I don’t belong to a gym. How can I get started on the training portion of the
Challenge?
A: The great thing about Body-for-LIFE is that you don’t need to belong to a gym to
complete the training portion of the 12-week program. Many of our past participants
and Champions did the program exclusively at home. The exercises are simple, and all
you really need is a set of dumbbells, PowerBlocks™, or resistance bands. You can run or
walk outside for the cardio workout, or use an exercise bike or any other type of cardio
equipment. For more ideas on working out without a gym, please call 1-800-297-9776
or visit www.bodyforlife.com.
Q: Do I have to use EAS® products to officially compete in the Body-for-LIFE Challenge?
A: You must use at least one EAS product during your Challenge. EAS product lines
include Myoplex® and AdvantEDGE®. In addition, you can also use any Abbott Nutrition
product, such as Ensure®, Glucerna®* or ZonePerfect®. Please remember that Challenge
participants announced as Champions will be reimbursed for EAS or Abbott Nutrition
products purchased during their 12 weeks if they send in their receipts. For more
information on the Challenge or products, please visit us at eas.com, or bodyforlife.com, or
call us at 1-800-297-9776.
Q: I’ve noticed that some Challenge participants held
newspapers in their photos and some of the guys shaved body hair
and tanned. Do I need to do these things?
A: Holding a newspaper is a great way to date your photos
for sharing them with family and friends, but holding a newspaper
in your photos is not required. You do not need to shave or tan.
Some competitors do this simply to show their muscle definition
more clearly.

Shopping
Smart Shopping Tips
In the produce section:
• Stock up—the more the better. Aim for a variety of colors in your cart
to ensure a variety of nutrients.
• Try pre-washed, pre-cut veggies and pre-bagged salads for quick
snacks and side dishes.
• Buy walnuts, almonds and other nuts for a protein and healthy fat
source addition to a meal.
At the dairy case:
• Skim milk and yogurt: choose low-fat (1 percent or 2 percent) or non-
fat (skim) products.
• Cheese: choose the 2 percent type (usually “part-skim”), which
contains 5 grams of fat or fewer per serving. Or try fat-free cheese,
although it differs in consistency and taste.
• Cottage cheese: choose low-fat or non-fat (1 percent fat or fewer).
• Butter subsitute: use Butter Buds® and olive oil for flavorings instead
of butter.
In the meat/deli section:
• Beef: choose lean cuts like eye of round, top round and round tip or
loin cuts. Look for 90 percent or 95 percent lean labels.
• Chicken: buy skinless, or remove the skin at home. Boneless, skinless
chicken breasts are fast and easy to prepare, and many deli sections
offer pre-roasted chicken as well.
• Turkey: remove the skin before eating. Check the label on ground
turkey before buying—it’s usually high in fat.
• Pork: choose tenderloin or other loin cuts and Canadian bacon over
regular bacon.
• Luncheon meats: choose meats that have 2 grams of fat or fewer per
serving and are low in sodium. Read the labels on hot dogs—most
are high in fat.
• Fresh fish: all good—find a fish that is flavorful and in season.
• Salads, pre-packaged sandwiches and other convenience foods: you
can pick up a quick meal at the store’s deli, but look for lower-fat
versions and avoid mayonnaise-heavy dressings.
Quick Tip: For all your product needs,
visit www.eas.com for more information.
9 www.bodyforlife.com
In the grocery section:
• Bread: choose whole-grain type, with a whole-grain
as the first ingredient and 2 or more grams of fiber
per slice. Look for whole grain bagels, pita bread and
English muffins, but avoid higher-fat bread products
like muffins, croissants and pastries.
• Cereals: choose whole-grain types with at least 4 to 5
grams of fiber and fewer than 10 grams of sugar per
serving.
• Crackers: choose low-fat crackers and whole-grain
varieties.
• Pastas and rice: look for whole-grain or whole-wheat
versions.
• Canned soups: bean-based soups are often good
choices. Choose broth-based type soups like
minestrone, chicken noodle or chicken/rice and vegetable, which are
lower in fat than cream-based soups. Look for lower sodium varieties.
• Fruit and vegetable juices: choose 100 percent fruit juices. Select
lower-sodium vegetable juices. Look for canned fruits packed in their
own juice for less sugar and fewer calories and lower-sodium versions
of canned vegetables. Choose fresh before frozen with canned as
your last choice. Limit fruit for a leaner physique.
• Canned chicken and tuna: choose packed in water, not oil.
• Canned Italian tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce: these low-fat
sauces make whipping up a meal of pasta a cinch.
• Peanut butter: choose a natural style brand and be sure to mix the oil
on top back into the butter.
• Whole fruit is a better choice than dried fruit or fruit juice.
In the frozen food section:
• “Skillet meals” and frozen entrees: choose those that are low in
sodium and fat.
• Frozen soups: look for broth- and bean-based versions.
• Frozen rice bowls: a healthy choice, but watch the fat and salt
content.
• Low-fat frozen breakfast items: double-check the labels for fat
content.
• Frozen mashed potatoes and frozen vegetables: check the fat and
salt content.
• Frozen fruit like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries: look for
fruit-only versions—they’re great for quick smoothies.
• Frozen stir-fry rice or pasta and veggies: look for low-fat and sodium
varieties.
• Frozen desserts: look for fruit-juice bars, frozen fruit, sorbet, frozen
yogurt and low-fat ice creams with fewer than 5 grams of fat per
serving.
With all of these food selections, make sure you combine both protein and
carbohydrate to make a Body-for-LIFE meal.

Helpful tips for winning photos

Clothing
• Please wear the same type of clothing in the “before” and “after” photos.
• Swimsuits, shorts, or exercise clothes are preferred.
• Please remember that if you are covering up parts of your body it will be difficult to
Nancy Fish Kenny Fernandez show your progress.
• Do not cover your legs with long shorts or “cut” them out of the photo.

Photos

Before and After Photos
On pages 21 through 24 of the Official Competitor Kit, you’ll find space to affix your “before” and
“after” photos. Please include the four required photos (two “before” and two “after”—each
showing both front and back views), plus an optional photo of your choice. Your “before” photos
must be taken within three days of beginning the Challenge. Your “after” photos must be taken
within three days of finishing the Challenge. For example, if your start date is January 5th, you could
take your photos as soon as January 2nd, or as late as January 8th. We recommend attaching your
photos to the packet using double-sided tape.
• Professional photographs are not necessary, but remember, this is the only way we can see your
transformation, so good, clear photos are essential.
• Try taking them outside in either the morning or the late evening (when the sun is low), as the light is
generally better for photos at that time.
• Take your photos against a plain background.
