Hi there, I'm trying to make lives on a game project.
It's a charizard flying avoiding two 'bubbles', I'm trying to get him to lose a life everytime he touches one.
I've tried numerous ways of getting it to work,

when gf clicked
say [avoid the bubbles!] for (5) secs
set [Lives v] to (3)
forever
If (touching [bubble1 v]?)
   change [lives v] by (-1)
   wait until <not (touching [bubble1 v]?)>
end
If (touching [bubble2 v]?)
   change [lives v] by (-1)
   wait until <not (touching [bubble2 v]?)>
end
If <(lives) = (0)>
   think [Game Over]
end

I've also tried making the bubbles the same colour and using if touching the colour, I have tried to make it lose lives if the bubbles touch charizard.
Thought it might be a problem with the sprites so stopped them changing costume and changed them entirely to no avail.

The problem is that you had set lives to -1 and not changed it by -1 whenever you touched a bubble. Also, you forgot to add a wait block to make sure that you didn't instantly lose the game by touch a bubble once. Anyway, I edited your scripts above to make them work.

Anyhow, I hope that this helps!
