For some people, especially women, any recognizable physical change may take between six and eight weeks. Indeed, Week Eight seems to be a watershed for women. People who've been making little or no progress wake up one day in Week Eight to discover something astonishing: The long-awaited transformation has begun. Their bodies are changing. Their fat is beginning to disappear. Their muscles are beginning to show. Their clothes no longer fit. What's more, after Week Eight, welcome changes seems to accelerate. It's as if a switch has been thrown. It's when your body, after weeks of stubborn resistance, not only surrenders but eagerly embraces your transformation. This is so common that those who've experienced it have given it a name: the Week Eight Miracle. "The first moment I noticed changes in my body was about eight weeks into the program," Champion Jayne Cox says. "Eight weeks is a heck of a long time, and I was not a happy camper on that treadmill. But one morning I woke up with a flat stomach and there was no roll over my underwear line. This was the first time I noticed that my hips were noticeably trimming down. I couldn't stop looking in my full-length mirror." Champion Mike Harris is an active member of the Body-for-LIFE Community. A prolific Body-for-LIFE blogger and source of inspiration on the Guestbook on www.bodyforlife.com, he practices the Universal Law of Reciprocation by sharing advice and offering encouragement. Over the years, as he read the online messages and comments of those trying to complete the program, Mike noticed something interesting. "I kept seeing post after post, almost always by women, who said they were sick of working their guts out for five or six weeks and not seeing any results. Some were about to quit. Then I began seeing posts from women saying they couldn't believe what happened to them in Week Eight or Nine. Inches and pounds began rapidly melting away." Mike began collecting anecdotes and surveying Challengers about when they began seeing results. "I wanted to find out whether the Week Eight Miracle was imaginary or for real," he says. His verdict: It's for real. "The women I was in touch with said they really saw everything take off around Week Eight or Nine. And after that, they lost inches and pounds at an incredible rate." "I'm not sure the same thing doesn't happen to guys," Mike says, "but guys don't climb on the scale every day."
