****Official "OBF" 2010 SPECTACULAR SPRING Contest Thread***

[j. ViLLA]

I'd enter the Double T Sports part of this competition but the part stating "Rules can be modified and the OBF and Double T Sports can withdraw from the contest at any time" is pretty lame.

Also, what if all the users that use the Double T Sports product, doesn't place in the top 3/5, does that mean there's no winner?

imho i dont think DT is there to screw anyone, they however wanna make sure that X people do make progressive body changes.

i wouldnt wanna give $500 dollars for someone who doesn't deserve it. putting that void in their makes sure they get their monies worth. its a good strategy for any company. People who wanna lose weight, this gives them the incentive to work harder, as well as DT promote people using their products with effective results , ì lost XX lbs in 16 weeks on double T`

i just wished DT let more people know about their promo sooner, this really limits the amount of international people who could have went for this promo.

i guess im lucky my weak spot is deep fried foods?

But if you want Peanut Butter for breakfast do what I do.

every morning
2 slices Whole Wheat Double Fiber Bread
2 Tbsl Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter
2 Tbsl Smuckers Sugar Free Jelly with Splenda

SOOOOO GOOD!

i guess im lucky my weak spot is deep fried foods?

Ohhh gaad everything tastes better deepfried...
A typical night of munchies for me used to be a little bit of everything - chocolate, salty chips, chewie candies, (diet) cola, pita&hummus and ritz peanut butter sandwiches, and other things like mozza sticks and beef taquitos and pizza... I had/have some terrible binge eating tendancies and I really love everything that's bad for me... lol. It's hard to break.

[slvrwolf1]

hey guys had my pics on the 5th taken but jus got a chance to put them up. everyone is looking great. my pics are up now so tell me what you think. thanks guy.

I think we are gonna break that body down and make it scream for help LOL. We are each others motivation this time gotta keep each other going strong. Oh yeah you know how my hand was hurting last night from tuesdays firemans challenge...I think I boke my hand. LOL. BUT unless it swells up too bad to move I am not giving up on this thing this time.

FYI: Target has a natty PB w/ dark chocalate. They also have a bunch of other flavors as well. It's definitley a great option for those that like to have PB sandwichs pre-workout.

Brah, pick it up and throw it out the window now. You must resist. That stuff is poison. So pick it up, and just throw it out the window. You are stronger than that, don't let a small bottle of poison take control of your mind.

My daughter had some of the raisin swirl PB this morning, I like it but personally the Dark chocolate dreams is deadly!

[HappySnowBunny]

Ohhh gaad everything tastes better deepfried...
A typical night of munchies for me used to be a little bit of everything - chocolate, salty chips, chewie candies, (diet) cola, pita&hummus and ritz peanut butter sandwiches, and other things like mozza sticks and beef taquitos and pizza... I had/have some terrible binge eating tendancies and I really love everything that's bad for me... lol. It's hard to break.
You and me both! It took a long time for me to break free of most of those cravings, too....but now it's not *as* bad. Probably because i don't keep those things around. If there were a box of frozen taquitos in my house, I'd be chewing on a frozen one while the others cooked. LOL! And the 'oven fried' chicken does not taste anything like the real thing. It only makes me sad.

Wait, what's wrong with hummus? ;)


I think we are gonna break that body down and make it scream for help LOL. We are each others motivation this time gotta keep each other going strong. Oh yeah you know how my hand was hurting last night from tuesdays firemans challenge...I think I boke my hand. LOL. BUT unless it swells up too bad to move I am not giving up on this thing this time.

Dude, you need to get it looked at. You may be able just to brace it and get it feeling fine in no time. If it's broken and you make it worse you'll be down and out for sure. If you can move it around well enough it's probably just badly bruised. Better be safe than sorry because you HAVE to see this through to the end. :)

Your motivation is awesome, btw


On another note, I am very glad at this moment that I'm not a huge PB fan because that dark chocolate pb up there would be a big problem. LOL

i have roughly 500-800 calories a day from nuts (not cutting yet)

Not all of them are good. I'm a big fan of Sabre Spicy Red Pepper variety. Garlic can be a bit much with hummus, I've always thought. The sweet red pepper hummus, to me, doesn't taste good at all. But the spicy...oh yeah...that's the stuff!

It's kinda pricey so I don't get it all that much. New kicks are far more important. :D

Is anyone else having issues with their bodyspace? I am logged in and I can edit my stats but I cannot edit my progress pics or upload anything new. Whenever I try it kicks me back out so I am looking at my profile like a visitor...

Could be I am just having a blonde moment :p but it has been that way since the 10th.

Thanks!

I havent noticed anything with my bodyspace recently (though right now I'm at work and avoiding going to any place that has pictures of me partially naked), but whenever I hit reply and then have to log in, or something similar, I get this:

"Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

Flawlessly, all day, and maybe yesterday too...
Not at serious as being unable to modify your own bodyspace, but still an annoying quirk being dealt with...

Appreciate the support, can't wait to see the results. I am in this to win it! So much work to do. What exactly are rep points? Is that the green bar I see next to my name profile name?

Rep points are, as you noticed, the red or green bar below the avatars. Green is good, red is bad and they represent ones idea of your reputation.

If you are inspiring, working hard, noticed for good qualities you will get repped with approvals, if you are the opposite you will be repped with disapprovals.

If you want to rep someone else, click on the balancing scale (under the green and or red bars - its red on the left side of scale and green on right side of scale) and click approve or disapprove and leave a note as to why you are repping that person so the person you rep can read your reason for approval or disapproval. EASY!

I had/have some terrible binge eating tendancies and I really love everything that's bad for me... lol. It's hard to break.

Is anyone else having issues with their bodyspace? I am logged in and I can edit my stats but I cannot edit my progress pics or upload anything new. Whenever I try it kicks me back out so I am looking at my profile like a visitor...

Could be I am just having a blonde moment :p but it has been that way since the 10th.

Thanks!


I havent noticed anything with my bodyspace recently (though right now I'm at work and avoiding going to any place that has pictures of me partially naked), but whenever I hit reply and then have to log in, or something similar, I get this:

"Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

Flawlessly, all day, and maybe yesterday too...
Not at serious as being unable to modify your own bodyspace, but still an annoying quirk being dealt with...

I had that happen tons of times to me last year....It could be that bb.com is editing stuff temporarily, but when it happened to me, I was able to log in and make changes to my page, if I used a different internet connector like- I was on AOL, so I used IE instead to connect to bb.com, or firefox, or safari was a good one (never had issues with safari), etc... Hope this helps, its VERY aggravating to be unable to log in as a member, lol.

I'm reallllllllllyyyyy milking the "A calorie is a calorie" idea for all its worth. I mean, if I can eat total crap like that stuff, and still meet my macros (roughly), and stay in my calorie range, and STILL lose weight... I mean, it's hard to fault the idea eh?

I've behaved. I have. I swear. Orange glutacene is an excellent vodka mixer, and I only had the one shaker bottle of it anyway. *laffs and runs*

When did you begin losing weight and how much have ya lost since your start date?

[slvrwolf1]

Dude, you need to get it looked at. You may be able just to brace it and get it feeling fine in no time. If it's broken and you make it worse you'll be down and out for sure. If you can move it around well enough it's probably just badly bruised. Better be safe than sorry because you HAVE to see this through to the end. :)

Your motivation is awesome, btw


On another note, I am very glad at this moment that I'm not a huge PB fan because that dark chocolate pb up there would be a big problem. LOL

Thanks I have been motivating alot this year already so I figured it was time I start putting some of my advice to work LOL. I have a few girls around here above 250 lbs that are needing help and motivation and are doing a local transformation contest and I have been helping them out and keeping them motivated. One of them told me she never makes it past her 3rd week and now she is on her 5th week and very proud of her for sticking with it.

I did have my hand checked out today by the nurse at work and I was told that it is just badly bruised but take it easy this weekend put ice on it and come back and see them monday and if it isnt any better we would get an xray just to make sure. I can move it pretty good but just cant tightly grip or even turn my key in the ignition, lol I have to wedge the key between my index and middle finger. The firefighter challenge that I did wasnt bad at all. There was other firefighters laying on the ground, some going to medical and a few of us that made it thought it was awesome and ready to go again, but the next day the hurt started lol.
The Challenge was walk up and down 10 flights of stairs with 2 inch rolled up hose on shoulder,

then move a railroad tie 1- 1 1/2 feet beating it with a sledghammer (thats what happened to hand) about 40 hits,

then run up stairs and pull up a rope that had a 2 inch hose attatch for weight had to pull up hand over hand and let down the same.

go down stair and grab a 175 lb dummy and drag it 60 feet

run back 60 feet grab a charged hose line and drag it 60 feet spray some water and ut it down

run over and lift a ladder off some pegs and put it on groun and then lift it back up.

[beefcake66]

When did you begin losing weight and how much have ya lost since your start date?

I've been trying on and off for a couple years...
Since I finally figured out what works best for me though, I'd have to say I started March 5th 2010 :P

Before I was too inconsistent with my dieting, I could never figure out how many calories I should be at, I changed up everything weekly if not more frequently,I was training TOO HARD, plus major binge eating problems, and I was dealing with a lot of depression and similar things the past couple years, but I'm pretty sure I finally got this.

Though to be honest it was in february when I kinda got everything figured out, but i took a week off before the contest to sort of give in to my old habits and prepare myself mentally for the next 16 weeks.

but yeaa love to eat and extending the bulk a little more works for me haha

I've lost 6 pounds so far since the pictures I took a few days ago. Last night went to the Casino for the all you could eat buffet, mounded my plate with shrimp, scallops, prime rib, salmon and chicken.

Get home...notice I started feeling a little weird....20 mins later I'm in the bathroom dying from food poison.

Weigh myself few mins ago and I'm down 10 pounds since picture..

OMGosh, food poison is terrible to have for sure!!!

Your body may end up replenishing itself with water, so you might see that water weight make a comeback on your scale. Its good to know this NOW so you are not discouraged when it happens. So plan for it.

If you get away with it, then whew! You got lucky.

LOL, I hope you get back to feeling better, my friend.

[Durmoot]

According to my Omron body fat analyzer, my bodyfat is down to 15.2% and my weight has been relatively stable at around the 195-197 range since starting dieting around 2 months ago. So I'm very happy with the way things have been going and I hope this trend continues through out this contest. Hope everyone else has been having a good start to this contest and best of luck, just keep pushing no matter what.

Don't worry about it. when i started seriously dieting 6 weeks ago, i lost 5lbs in 5 days. Most is water. Promise.

I'll be happy with 1lb a week at this point.

BTW, don't weigh yourself daily. that is one of the worst things you can do. Make it weekly at the same time and same day every week...and if you cheated the night before your weigh in day, don't bother either. You'll most likely be up because of water.

[BIGROC34]

Today was a great day in the gym. I keep it short and intense. Put on the IPOD and I hit it Super Sets with only 1 min rest between and no rest between stations. I am currently on dumbells strictly this week except for legs and triceps.

I haven't been doing any cardio I think I might had 2 days on Tues/Thursday next week. Since I take minimal rest between sets and exercises I am usually gased by the end of my workout anyway.

I really need to finish this thing so I don't want to burn myself out by spending too much time in the gym. I want my body to recover so I can go hard for each lifting session and keep increasing the lifts each workout.

The last few times I went down this road I really stressed myself out trying to track all the marcos, lifts, supps and over analyzing everything.

I am taking the Wavelength approach:

Lift Heavy - 3x a week
Eat 1 gram of protein per lb. of LBM
Eat less than I burn - I am keeping it pretty clean but if I want to eat something I eat it and just keep under my calories for the day. I am currently shooting for a minimum 750 calorie deficent up to 1500 on non-workout days.

Hope everyone else had a good workout!

[Sassy64]

Well, I guess the good news about hating your before pics is that it will be good motivation to work your butt off. But yeah, I hate my before pics. I've got some decent muscle, I know, but there's a pretty thick layer of fat over the top of them. I have started to see my quads a little, though, so I am encouraged by that.

Good luck to everyone!!
I agree... before pictures are great motivation! To be honest, I didnt even realize I was that big until I took my pictures. I am definitely ready to have my body back and be in shape again. Never again will I be this big! Good luck to you!

[Sassy64]

I guess you know that your before pics are bad (or good) when your sister hands you the camera and says "don't worry you don't look that bad in person". Let the transformation begin :~)
Girl, they cant be that bad! I was just with you last weekend and you made me feel like a total fatty! lol And you were called "sweetie" by you know who, AND you got an extra picture with digits on the back! So you know you are a hottie! =)

Dont let it get ya down brah.... The scale is your enemy sometimes...

Last contest i started at 188 or so..... half way through the contest i had only dropped a pound or 2.... BUT i was leaning out losing inches and i could tell i had lost fat....

After that i still ended up winning!!!

So, measure yourself by the way your clothes fit and a tape measure cuz the scale will lie to you!! Keep your work ethic up and your diet on point 100% of the time and you'll have no choice but to lose that fat!


Good luck everyone!!!

Not worried that we are coming after your title:p

[Sassy64]

There are a lot of exercises you may be able to do right on the couch or in bed that will keep you moving but will also NOT overwhelm you while you rest, use your imagination.

Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water (since you should anyway and because you are sick) and dont cheat while you are sick/recovering. You can get thru this with no regrets or set backs!
Thanks! I've been doing a little bit more today than yesterday which is good. I plan on hitting it hardcore tomorrow though. Even though I am not 100% I still wanna get started for real. I am sure I will be able to handle it.

[Sassy64]

That sucks :( a few days shouldnt be too terrible tho. I'm sort of on the same boat, my thesis is due on the 29th of march, so there will be no going to the gym for me until after its handed in. I'm going to have to rely on diet and biking to and from school.
Thanks and good luck to you too! Hopefully you can kick it up a notch after you turn it in!

Haha, they aren't awful but the camera has a wonderful way of bringing out every dimple! Oh my. And you know you're no fatty! We all carry our weight in different ways. We also all have a common goal of getting fit and healthy... (and to look smoking hot in a bikini this summer!) .. So at the end of the summer we'll go to the beach and celebrate! :)

Thanks! I've been doing a little bit more today than yesterday which is good. I plan on hitting it hardcore tomorrow though. Even though I am not 100% I still wanna get started for real. I am sure I will be able to handle it.

Oh good, that was fast! LOL. Hope you are healed way quick. A couple people have been sick now, not good! Get better you guys! OD on some vitamins or somethin. xoxo

[MsTropix]

I lost 14 pounds before the contest started, and one pound since the contest started. YAY!!

I have met my first goal. My next goal will be to reach 339, two more pounds to go.

Congatulations!



One week of workouts and cardio in the books. Diet has been spot on, only had a few cravings for fast food and nachos but other than that its been relatively easy. Cardio all five days ftw :D

Hope everyone else's is kickin' bass :D

Congrats!! :)

[andreams1]

BTW, don't weigh yourself daily. that is one of the worst things you can do. Make it weekly at the same time and same day every week....

This is great advice, I'm doing it once every two weeks and using the mirror/how my clothes fit to monitor



Week 1 update: I lifted 4 times this week, this is all new for me :o Did a couple spinning classes during the week and my diet has been really good. Had a couple pieces of candy but alot less than my normal portions :) Looking forward to relaxing tomorro then going to a boot camp class on sunday

i'm starting to see my abs already omg :D

since im on a very intense diet that burns fat quick imma weigh my self once a week and post progress picks once a week

[MsTropix]

I don't get this. I only get motivated at night. This sucks. lol

You know what, you and I are alike there. I cant tell you how many years I went to bed at night thinkin..."when I wake up in the morning I will not be a smoker anymore." Just to wake up and have a mornin cig. It sucked. I was like, where was my confidence this morning that I had last night? I need it back, lol. Come back to me!

But you know what- my day came cause I never gave up. I have not smoked for 4 years now. I started when I was in 6th grade! I figure, If I can kick that addiction, I can kick the lack of proper diet and lack of exercise addictions as well... AND YOU CAN TOO!

Keep reminding yourself of what takes priority in your life and give it all ya got guy.

Appreciate the support, can't wait to see the results. I am in this to win it! So much work to do. What exactly are rep points? Is that the green bar I see next to my name profile name?

Yes. the green bar. I just remembered- I think you need to have so many posts or some other rule before you can get points. Ah well. And good attitude. I am much more excited about this comp and have a head of steam right now too. Hopefully we can all keep the adrenaline going for the extended period of time.

Same. I had exams for the last two weeks so last two weeks have been really bad for me in terms of working out. But I'm done with exams for a while so it's time to go hard starting monday.

Also going out and buying a scale today. Don't trust the ones that my gym has. It's like a 10 yr old doctor office type scale. Don't think it's 100% accurate

weigh in and pic update coming up on Monday, hopefully I've made progress

CONTESTANTS!

There is less than 24 hours left to upload your pictures. I suggest you double check the picture thread to make sure your name is bold. If you have submitted pictures, and your name is not bold, that means they were not accepted.

The only reason, so far, that I have deleted pictures is because they paper, computer screen, etc was not in all your pictures. If you read the RULES, this is a requirement.

I don't want anyone complaining to me that I deleted their pictures. I deleted them because you did not read the rules.

The PICTURE THREAD will be closed at midnight tonight and anyone who has not submitted the required pictures will not be in the contest. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Thanks!

There have been a lot of pics going up in the last couple days. I suspect some have changed their mind about the contest or forgot they entered at all.

The flu the is the WORST to have while trying to stick to any program, make sure your taking in calories, and drinking plenty of fluids. Get well and get back at it in a week!

Just uploaded photos, and took my measurements this morning.
My goals is to be have a Lean and Cut body at 170lbs. (currently 164lbs)

[Sky22]

Here is my update for the first week:

I lost 10lbs going from 232 to 222lbs. Water weight is gone and now it's time to burn the fat! I haven't slipped up on diet and making sure to lift and get my cardio in. I'm starting the contest out strong and will keep going til the end.

I hope everyone who is sick feels better soon! Everyone else...get in the gym! :)

[bri87]

PC was messed up and had a virus but its fixed and my pictures are going up tonight. I don't get off work till 8 ct. and wont be home till almost 10. So I will be pushing the timeline close... real close. Good luck to everyone!

[PressEnter]

It was a bit of a rough week, but I ended up being down about a pound and a half from a week ago. I'm not sure how, but I'll take it! My workout have been getting better. Today's was the toughest yet, but awesome.

Here is a clean eat Chicken and Dumpling video I made of cooking and prepping it! Tell me what you think?

Looks like a good recipe, was hoping to see the finished product though. Ive been eating Flat Iron Steak and Chicken breasts for the past few days as my protein meals. Its actually really good. You can vew my logs for exactly what Ive eaten.

Oh yikes. That was me just a few weeks ago. I spent a lot of time with my good friends Dayquil and Nyquil for a week or so...

Really hope you get to feeling better soon!! (oh yeah, and those flu dreams are so weird!!)

[rcp197inIZ]

Finally! I meant to do it earlier this week but kept forgetting to post at night. Starting weight as of this morning was 259 lbs w/43 in waist. Taking all my measurements and logging food on fitday and livestrong for a few days, not sure what I like better so I'll use both to figure it out. Would like to like to end up around 225lb at the end of this thing w/significantly lower bodyfat!

[Big Poppa S]

Pics are up.... starting log soon.

[mrkdrt]

Time's almost official :eek:

Get those pics in people!

[trudyelizabeth]

Hey everyone,

I am new here and wanna join in. I bit scared though after looking at your pictures..

Cheers.
Wish me luck.


Don't ever by scared of something that's important to YOU. If you think you can.. than you can. I you think you can't.. then you won't. I bet you've got more 'I think I can!' in you than you realize. Unleash it and embrace it.

The only person you need to impress in life is yourself! Good Luck!!!!!!

It seems like everything has been conspiring against me when I want to get to the gym.

Thursday I was dressed and ready to go, just wanted to upload my music to my iPhone (for the first time). It kept taking forever, for 45 minutes, I sat there saying "5 more minutes, if it's not done yet I'm going without music!" until it was too late to go.

Then Friday, I actually made it to the mall (gym is in the basement), but wanted to buy skates first. They were busy, and once I finally decided on a pair, they said 15-20 min to sharpen them, so I shopped around, came back.. they'd forgotten! So I had to wait another 20 min, and you guessed it.. by the time they were done, it was too late to go.

Now today, I had big plans to go to the gym after my son's nap and leave him in the child-minding area. I just checked the schedule to make sure they'd be open, and as luck would have it, the gym is open.. but the child-minding area is only open in the mornings on Saturday! And even worse, not even open at all on Sundays. Bleh!

On the plus side, a) my eating has been great and I've lost 2 lbs, and b) I can go skating on weekday afternoons now, fun cardio!!!

I"m a single parent myself and i know it can be hard to find the time to get to the gym especially if you have a full time job to go to as well. I have set days every week and it seems to work.

Try and find a set schedule and if something has to be done, it waits till your gym time is done, unless it's an emergency of course. ;)

[Greek_Elite]

hmm trying to figure out thermos n such for this, would like some ppl opinion on it.. what I think I'm going to work with is EC & Animal Cuts, just trying to figure out which when.. Think maybe EC for first 4-6 weeks of my cut, take a 2 week stim break, and finish with Cuts, or use cuts first and finish with EC?

luckily my son is in full-time daycare, and i have a pretty good schedule at school this semester, lots of time to go to the gym providing I actually MAKE it there when I say I will. Unfortunately, this week seems to be a bit of a scramble to get there and do my workout in time to pick him up! I'm chalking last week up to 50% bad luck and 50% bad time management, lol.

This week will be better, since at least now I seem to have worked the kinks out.

No offense, but the iPhone problem and the gym thing seem like excuses. I'm not here to comfort you, Im here to tell you that you could've gone and you found excuses not to go.

After 10 mins I would've left my iphone and gone to the gym with no music. Then when you went to the mall you were prepared to hit the gym but instead found something else to do.

Come on, you can do this! Don't make excuses, make results!

It I was in that case, I use cuts first.

But if were me, I might not use any at all. See how well you can do with just conditioning - and then start up one of them when/if you need to

CONTESTANTS! - ANNOUNCEMENT!!

I WILL BE EXTENDING THE DEADLINE TO POST START PICTURES UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY!

I am doing this because of the major storm, especially in the East. Some people have lost power and they do not know when it will be back.

I suggest you double check the picture thread to make sure your name is bold. If you have submitted pictures, and your name is not bold, that means they were not accepted, or I missed them.

The only reason, so far, that I have deleted pictures is because the paper, computer screen, etc was not in all your pictures. If you read the RULES, this is a requirement.

I don't want anyone complaining to me that I deleted their pictures. I deleted them because you did not read the rules.

The PICTURE THREAD will be closed at midnight Sunday and anyone who has not submitted the required pictures will not be in the contest. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Thanks!

[Callie7]

I'm doing well and working hard, despite it being spring break~! :)

[cactusflower]

Oh yikes. That was me just a few weeks ago. I spent a lot of time with my good friends Dayquil and Nyquil for a week or so...

Thank goodness, we can exercise at home no matter if the day gets in our way or not. There have been plenty of times (car breaks down, unexpected company, etc) that kept me from getting to my desination point and had to just walk laps around my own house (not neighborhood, but my actual literal house lol) get on the floor with my hand weights and lift my legs and my arms and whatever to get at least 1 hr exercise in for the day.

Pics posted. Gonna get a log or journal of some sort going soon. This storm is a real bitch, glad I'll be going to Florida next week, but kinda sucks that I'll lose a week of time in the competition. Either way it's not too bad considering I strategically worked out my routine so that would fit nicely as a deload week. Will be nice to relax, totally clear the mind and then come back more motivated then ever and do work.

[MsClickClick]

great video, in your next video when your pronounce your name as MsClickClick could you do the 'click' 'click' part with your tongue...

I'm going down to visit my great grandparents who are getting older and I haven't seen in a while, and I'm taking it as more then just a physical vacation. It's also a chance for me to get away from all the nonsense I've had to deal with lately and just give myself a nice break to recouperate and recover. Just nice to get away yknow?

let me know if anyone wants to team up to motivate each other.

Been keeping my weight steady for now as I'm waiting for a diet program. I'm deloading this week as well because I have been feeling really tired and lifting about 75% of maximum lately. I was on Layne Norton's 5 day a week program, it gets exhausting after a while!

[ShayZ]

you got to be ****ting me:eek::eek::eek:

I mean it isnt that hard to do for someone who hasnt been dieting prior...


GO binge the night before diet starts = ur up 4-5 lbs the next morning.
Start heavy diet that day and by end of week u lose that 4-5 lbs plus 5+ lbs of water weight/fat

Not discrediting him, I just dont want other people to feel discouraged because they didn't see 11 lb weight losses.

[cuse88]

Just wanted to throw in my entry at the last second here. The time for change is now for me and this contest is what I need to return to my old shape. Good luck and stay motivated everyone!

[gymratluke]

you got to be ****ting me:eek::eek::eek:
lol no way!

WOW!!!! Are you eating??? kidding...good job.
Hardly, but yes! My cals digested are a lot lower then the values I get from fitday, so I barely get in maybe 2400 cals a day.

I have been dieting for about 6 weeks now. I did take one week off dieting prior to the start of this contest cause I hurt my back and was laid up. Anyway, yes there is lots of water weight, but still I did damn good this week.

CONTESTANTS! - ANNOUNCEMENT!!

I WILL BE EXTENDING THE DEADLINE TO POST START PICTURES UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY!

I am doing this because of the major storm, especially in the East. Some people have lost power and they do not know when it will be back.

I suggest you double check the picture thread to make sure your name is bold. If you have submitted pictures, and your name is not bold, that means they were not accepted, or I missed them.

The only reason, so far, that I have deleted pictures is because the paper, computer screen, etc was not in all your pictures. If you read the RULES, this is a requirement.

I don't want anyone complaining to me that I deleted their pictures. I deleted them because you did not read the rules.

The PICTURE THREAD will be closed at midnight Sunday and anyone who has not submitted the required pictures will not be in the contest. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Thanks!

[bri87]

Fhewww... just got my pictures up and come to find out theirs a storm that extended the deadline... I just got a workout running from one side of the house to the other trying to get my wireless to work. Upload pics... re create my PB acct and post them... Well. any and all results are now on me. No excuses... what I end up with at the end of this competition is purely what I put into it. Good luck to everyone!!

[jkliveng]

So here I go, about to make an @ss out of myself here on the thread..

I decided to try out Eviscerate for the first time tonight. After applying it I was walking to the bathroom to wash my hands and my eye started to itch(darn allergies starting) And, well, you can guess what happened next! OH MY!! the PAIN! I flushed out my eye for a good 5 minutes and now have a cold washcloth and ice on it to try and numb the burning. Easily the most excruciating pain I've ever been in!! My eye won't open at this point, maybe tomorrow!

On the bright side, I barely notice all the burning on my thighs.

Good night :)

[MsTropix]

I'm going down to visit my great grandparents who are getting older and I haven't seen in a while, and I'm taking it as more then just a physical vacation. It's also a chance for me to get away from all the nonsense I've had to deal with lately and just give myself a nice break to recouperate and recover. Just nice to get away yknow?

Have a great time in Florida! Hopefully the weather will be good to you.


maybe u just need one of these:

Oh yeah, good thing you didn't feel the burn on your thighs huh? You might just wanna scratch that itch at every application! :)

[HappySnowBunny]

Thats simply amazing man, I have seen you post for quite a while. Your going to kill the competition, I remember you posting some lifts and being blown away. I have never really lifted and am straight up weak. Maybe in a couple of years I will catch up to you, but everyone has got to start somewhere.

It was one of those things that it hurt soo bad that I had to just laugh at myself. Figured you all could get a little laugh at my expense as well. Definitely the kind of mistake you only make ONCE!


This ^^^ Excellent visual!


Hope that eye opens up tomorrow. :)

Thank you! It's all opened up now, just a little puffy.

[cactusflower]

Happy weekend!!

I've decided not to step on the scale for a while...I find that it can be a deterrant .... so I will use clothes, the mirror and maybe a tape measure....but that again will be later on. Im excited at the idea of stepping on the scale after some time and seeing a number I havent seen in a while :)

Sounds like a lot of you are doing awesome so far! -11 lbs! Wholly cow!

Talk soon.

[PressEnter]

No significant loss for me this week...but I am deternined to be under 200 lbs by Friday! Which means I probably better quit whining aout the weather and get outside for some jogging :p

[GettingfitAgain]

AWWWW sh*****************t! You just made it so Im totally gonna make sure I BRING IT in the last few weeks to make sure that dont happen! ;)

But no really, I didnt expect this kind of weight loss, and Im sure I will most likely be up in weight tomorrow but we'll just have to see....

So what kind of insane workout you do this week? Do tell! 11 lbs is insane. Grats!

[Fightingenetics]

Still here! Daily updates (or nearly daily) on my blog. Working out like a madman this week and saw a few losses in measurements today :) I'm pumped for this week!

[rcp197inIZ]

My stack to start this contest:
ON Chocolate Protein - have Myofusion ready to go when run out
Lean Xtreme
Fish Oil
Animal Pak
Purple Wraath
Xtend
Green Mag - have Sizeon ready to go when run out
Thinking of adding VPX Meltdown

[King 13]

Good luck everybody. Whats your plan of attack diet wise? I'm going to be eating about 500 cals under maintenance to start out, and then plan on lowering carbs as the weeks pass.

[SexyBack]

well first week down! I didn't do as well as I wanted. Didn't get as much cardio in as I wanted, but the scale went down a little bit :D:D:D

Hope everyone else is doing well!

[svmoney6]

2 scoops xf chocolate whey
about 1 cup milk
about 2 tbsp almond butter
1 banana
1 kiwi
blend together
???

it seriously tastes amazing. so far no weight loss but i don't expect any till i change my diet

[ShayZ]

^^^^^^^^^^^^
lmao, I typed this without seeing your post! Ill try yours tomorrow, you try mine too :)

If anyone wants an idea for an AMAZING pre or post workout smoothie use mine :)

1-1.5 scoops of Your favorite Vanilla like whey protein
1/2 cup of frozen strawberries
1/2 medium banana
4-6 ounces of Skim Milk or whatever milk
Blend it with 4-5 big cubes of ice

300 Calories, takes me 15 mins to drink slowly, and taste amazing!

[PressEnter]

Good luck everybody. Whats your plan of attack diet wise?

I've been slowly cutting since the beginning of the year, so I'm not changing anything up dramatically. I'm aiming for 1,800 calories per day, including 150 grams of protein and 25 grams of fiber.

Today was cardio...I had a nice 30 minute run and my slow, shuffling pace.

I hope everyone who signed-up get those pics in and sticks it out to the end

Got in some great training yesterday. Scale is moving down, even as my diet is still out of whack from moving. Must do better. Planning to head back to the gym tonight.

[Ripnlean]

Now I am 3 lbs away from having lost 100 lbs.:)

Sounds like you'll hit the 100 mark approximately next Monday;)
