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

[MikeDC82]

Down 2 lbs this week, i weigh myself every Saturday morning. I have lost 17 since mid January thus far

[ShayZ]

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

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

Just got home from my Sunday Cardio. 30 mins of eliptical. Machine said I burned 460 calories, I was averarging 190 strides a minute roughly as Iended up with 5600 strides according to the machine, did it on 8 resistance, 8 crossramp. Then I did 30 mins of basketball.

I tried ur recipe but used ON Cake Batter Whey, and dont have almond butter. The kiwi doesnt make it quite as sweet as the strawberries, but pretty good.

[getbustered]

Decided to use Lyle McDonald's UD2.0 for this contest, going to see how it goes. Should be hell for the first few days of depletion, but we'll see how it goes.

Nice job bro, keep at it!

[xXJennyXx]

Seems like a lot of you are right on track!!

I had a very good week eating - I lost more weight than I was hoping for, without even working out (unless you count 20 minutes of walking a day + running after my son). Yay water weight! lol

Next week's goal is to GET TO THE GYM!!! =)

[COUNTRYMIKE]

I ♥ these contests and I'm excited to see how this turns out, Good luck to everyone!

[j. ViLLA]

Bout to have my 1st "cheat" meal since starting the contest.......off to Johnny Garlic's with the wifey! 1st time going there.

[rcp197inIZ]

My workouts so far:

5k Saturday morning @ 29 min - first time running 3 miles since getting out of military 3 yrs ago. I was surprised I broke 30 min on a hilly course, especially at 260 :D

Chest Sunday (Max OT)
Bench - 275x3x5
Incline Dumbell - 85x6, 90x6, 95x6
Weighted Dip - 2x45x6

Racquetball for 30 min

Diet has been on point so far. Getting about 2300-2400 cals with 220 grams protein/day

[Husky Bob]

Inc DB Press: 50x12, 60x12, 60x9, 60x8, 60x7, 50x10, 50x9

Dips X BW (210):: 2 sets of 8 reps

Hammer Bench: 225x10, 225x9


CBGP:: 115x10, 125x9, 125x7, 95x10, 95x9

Cable Ext: 100x12, 120x10, 120x10


My right shoulder was a little sore from tennnis on Sat morning and then my back workout, so I layed off any direct delt work.


Cardio: 30 min on T-mill

[gymratluke]

Only gained 1lb yesterday on my cheat day. Ate 800 cals over for the day wasnt too bad. SO that gave me a net loss of 10lbs total for the first week. Im guessing next week will only be about 2 or 3 lbs....

[19again]

I can't believe I lost 4.6 pounds in the first week! WOO HOO! GO ME!
If that isn't incentive enough to keep on going, I don't know what is!

[19again]

Sounds YUMMY!
What did you get?

[19again]

Good Morning everyone, and maybe good afternoon to a few others. :D


I found this in the forums a while ago. I don't know where it came from or who made it but i'd like to share it. It gave me some motivation when i saw it.

Well eek two starts and yet another work schedule as well! I just got a call for a crazy oppertuity of over time to get there Monday morning and not leave until Tuesday evening at 6pm Im going to have to decline because I know that will knock me off on three days of training!!!! I need to train my run big time!!! Im running out side every day 3miles and sprints! Please see my Log for detailed journal.

Week One 216.8 pound
Week Two 211.8 pound = 5 pound loss

Cheat meal today was Chilis southwest egg rolls and dessert...

[kingjameskjf]

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?

You can always try Adipoxil or TT-33! :D /shill

[cawiau]

Yep you guessed it, I am addicted to chocolate and have a terrible sweet tooth:o

Sorry ladies, no pic like that with a woman. I stumbled across that one in a thread months ago and saved it because it's a great pic.

[SheWulf]

Phone maybe?

[DomesticDiva]

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe in this case, a mod or someone else could post for you? It never hurts to ask.

[Free Weight Friedel]

Could be. I'm going to make an exception for him. I do not want to keep someone out, who really wants to compete, because they cannot upload their pictures.

hmmm... might have to get creative and make my own then. Thanks for responding!

My cheat today was a skinnyyyyy slice of fresh pizza from Papa Murphys. I do not have weight gain or water gain when I eat their pizzas like I do Pizza Hut, Dominos, etc...I dunno why, perhaps because its a take and bake, it has less sodium???Not sure, but I practiced portion control.I also cut all my days calories today in 1/2, so the pizza probably fit well into my diet today.

My sister also bought a tub of fresh cookie dough from Papa Murphys....I stayed OUT of it and breathed thru my nose when she baked them too!!

Today was a tough day but I got thru it, NO EXCUSES! and you guys can do it too!

Lights out...

Well, was it worth it???Of course! But not what you are referring to....

Fishing in Port Aransas all weekend. Not very easy to diet and train while you're on a boat all day or at a restaurant on a dock that only serves fried food!

Up 0.4 lbs from my cheat.... time to get back to work!

[getbustered]

Getting ready to head out for a depletion workout, good to see that although the list isn't quite as big there are still tons of entries into this contest.

[blsmith]

Had my first week weigh in. down 3.8 pounds. Good start. Trying to go slow and steady. Definitely going to continue what I am doing.

[beefcake66]

I had a cheat day yesterday... My calories were just a little over but my macro's were totally off... I ate 75% of a pizza :$

I only went up like half a pound on the scale, but I'm not worried about it.. water weight.. it'll be back down tomorrow or the day after.

However I am upset that I forgot my water bottle at home today :(

[ShayZ]

Just weighed myself in:
179.4 this morning
4.2 lb weight loss this week! WOOHOO!

Cheat meals and weekend is over, time to get back to work!

Thanks Major! You too! :D

[Husky Bob]

I use Fitday.com for my nutrition entries. Here are my daily averages for the past week:

Calories: 2255

Pro: 202

Car: 164

Fat: 79



Ave cals burned per day: 2875


However... even though that's an average deficit of almost 600 cals, I haven't lost any more weight!

Still stuck at about 213 lbs.

Therefore, I think I'm not being accurate enough in what I take in or what I'm burning off.

I may have to resort to weighing my food I guess!

[Ndeserranno]

i lost 2.5 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eating @ 3200 last week :)

[slvrwolf1]

I started working on the floor of my living room Saturday ause it was getting weak so I didnt get a planned workout but tearing ooutthe old floor was a great workout. I didnt finish floor till Sunday afternoon and forgot about my usual Sunday morning weigh in. lildude which is in this contest also came over and wanted to workout so we did and had a great workout. I dont have my home gym setup in a good place yet so we worked out on my total gym. I figure hey if it worked for Chuck Norris lol. I actually got it cause I had a rotator cuff injury and after it healed I dont have the range of motion that I used to have and it is helping alot. Anyway before we worked out I weighed and was a little upset cause it said I gained 3 lbs 253 lbs to 256 lbs. I thought about it and
1. I usually weigh first thing in morning
2. I checked body fat and it stayed the same 34 %
so it must have been either a muscle gain or water gain.

Lol I feel like I'm digging myself into a deep hole... I've got a lot of work to do, but I'm determined to make a run for top 5.

[Big Poppa S]

However... even though that's an average deficit of almost 600 cals, I haven't lost any more weight!

Still stuck at about 213 lbs.

Therefore, I think I'm not being accurate enough in what I take in or what I'm burning off.

I may have to resort to weighing my food I guess!

I would have to agree with this, when you start accurately weighing everything you may be surprised at how much extra you're actually eating..... did your fitday numbers include any condiments, etc? Often it's those little things that add up and stop you from losing.

Good Luck!

[MikeDC82]

Happy Monday everyone!

I do

[gymratluke]

I use Fitday.com for my nutrition entries. Here are my daily averages for the past week:

Calories: 2255

Pro: 202

Car: 164

Fat: 79



Ave cals burned per day: 2875

Yeah Im gonna say either you are WAY off on your guestimates for fit day or else you're just in starvation mode. 2200 cals a day at your size is squat! I lost 10lbs this week eating 2300-2800 cals a day and I weigh a lot less then you...

[SexyBack]

I do

I have some equipment at home. a squat rack, an old cable machine, DB's, BB and a treadmill. But I really miss the gym. I miss the equipment and I really miss having others around me, gets me into that competitive edge type mood that makes me work harder. I live in a small town so the gym we did have closed down and turned into a Zumba studio. :(

Those were kind of my thoughts too, those aren't very many calories at all at 213.

I keep my log here in case anyone is following along: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=120494101

I hit a new bodyweight low this week (182.8) but I'm doing UD2.0 for this duration, and so my weight swings wildly about during the week. Haven't yet averaged it out to see what my "true" weight loss was.

[SheWulf]

I can come over if you want for motivation and competitiveness! :D

Good to see you participating again!

Time to get amped up and kill it on back day. Shot after my morning cardio though.

I would have to agree with this, when you start accurately weighing everything you may be surprised at how much extra you're actually eating..... did your fitday numbers include any condiments, etc? Often it's those little things that add up and stop you from losing.

this is awesome advice.

I don't like taking the time to weigh my food out and track the condiments but it makes a HUGE difference. I use cheese everyday and once I started measuring it out, realized how much over I'd been going on it. Steak is the same way, 6 oz was much less than I thought :mad: Olive oil was another one

[beefcake66]

this is awesome advice.

And I'm going to agree with this weighing & condiment advice. Buying a digital kitchen scale is probably one of the best investments I've ever made. I use it for just about everything (besides items that use ml or fl oz). And condiments, as delicious as they are, can be pure evil on a diet lol... I'm a huge sauce fiend, I had to force myself to cut back/stop. No more bathing chicken in plum sauce :(

[MoEcho]

Everyone must get a digital scale or MoNegReps!!!! Lulz :)

I work out at home. This time around I am not spending any useless money. I wasted many years paying gyms and not using them. So now we are converting the garage into a gym. Got the elliptical in there now and the power rack and cable crossover will be here by the end of May. Until then, it's just me and my dumbbells :) But I am just at the very beginning of this workout stuff, so I am in no big hurry. I got enough weight on me to make the most of squats, pushups, etc.

I think I am going to miss the social interraction as well, but not until I feel better about my looks.

[Sky22]

Well, i'm still at 222lbs after 5 days so i may grab a food scale as well. I was eating around 1800-1900 calories but that just maybe a little too much for me so i'll try around 1700. :(

*Sigh*...less food makes me feel like i'm on a really diet. Thank goodness for keto cuz i'd really struggle on a carb diet. ( i cheat whenever i'm allowed carbs and calories are restricted)

Workouts have been going strong but i missed my last one due to work and a test for my masters program. I'm going to grab some breakfast and hit the weights.


- What kind of diet is everyone on? Any Keto diets?

[19again]

Keylime Calamari (free), cuz they took a long time to get it to me and the wifey, Black N Blue Cheese Burger (whole wheat bun, Kobe Steak) w/ garlic fries. Delicious!

So happy to hear you enjoyed it!! I would love the burger!

- What kind of diet is everyone on? Any Keto diets?

I found that when I cook my 2oz of whole wheat pasta, then add a little bacon, green onions, mushrooms, asparagus, tomato and some RF Parm, it fills a nice size bowl up! It's only 300-350 calories and about 50 carbs. Take the tomato out and there's even less. I love my pasta!

it's spring breeeeeak! yay!

i will be sticking with my diet and workout routine, though. i am meeting up with a friend but instead of doing lunch like we normally do, we're doing cardio. :)

[kudostojen]

And I'm going to agree with this weighing & condiment advice. Buying a digital kitchen scale is probably one of the best investments I've ever made. I use it for just about everything (besides items that use ml or fl oz). And condiments, as delicious as they are, can be pure evil on a diet lol... I'm a huge sauce fiend, I had to force myself to cut back/stop. No more bathing chicken in plum sauce :(

yes, this is soooo true. You might as well have chocolate bar with the macros on some of the condiments out there.

I got a really nice digital scale for really cheap and it's a huge help.

[hope2bme]

Good Monday Morning everyone!!
I hope everyone has a fantastic week full of energy. :D
I am upping my workout schedule from 5 to 6 days a week for OBF....Yesterday was Legs/Glutes at the gym....My bum is killin me today! Woohooo...guess I did something right :p

[RUTHL3SS]

Just realized that we have until July to transform ourselves. I thought the contest ended in June! What a relief...

Anyways, I'm at college so it's hard to diet, but I get out in early may. Regardless, I am DETERMINED and I WILL transform my body, regardless of if I place or not!

I hear ya! School takes up so much time and it can be hard to workout if you live on campus and have to follow certain gym hours. Luckily for me, I live off campus so its a little easier - the only thing that eats up my time besides class, work, and homework is my terrible commute. I'm in the car for almost two hours a day just to go to and from classes. Good luck finding your balance!! :)

Regardless, I'm about to go murder my chest and back.

Happy Monday everyone!
Just curious, anyone workout at home?

I workout at home. I prefer the gym cause of the different setups and you dont have to do the upkeep and maintenance on the machines but It got too expensive with that recurring payment and then they added a dance studio and raised membership.
I have an Impex weightlifting machine with 100 lb stack. Not bad for a bigginer but I think I am going to be needing more weight or do lots of reps. I usually use it just for a quick workout.
I have a Total Gym that my wife just had to have but I seem to use it more than she does. It works better than I thought it would but instead of the 20 minute workout they suggest I usually go for about an hour to hour and half. It is really good cause it stretches the muscles while you are working out.
I have a treadmill and a Gazzelle I use for cardio but when I want a real challenge I do run walk intervals outside for about 2 - 3 miles
I also have a few Dumb bells and free weights that I use also.
Most of this stuff I got for presents from inlaws or the church.

LOL, yup!

[MsTropix]

I had a cheat day yesterday... My calories were just a little over but my macro's were totally off... I ate 75% of a pizza :$

I only went up like half a pound on the scale, but I'm not worried about it.. water weight.. it'll be back down tomorrow or the day after.

However I am upset that I forgot my water bottle at home today :(

75% of a pizza??? holy "macros" lol.

Ok great to have you on board! I assumed you were not in the contest, but cool! I tried to visit your link, but it took me to internet space. Did anyone else have a prob with his link?

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn274/lovingmyhero/GreatJobIcon.png

I was so peased to sign on and see that so many of you have lost some weight! Great job everyone. Keep on keepin on.

Also if you see peeps tryin to make excuses or tryin to fade out of the contest, encourage them/grab them up and dont let them go!

[Rozlyn27]

Well, after my wonderful weekend, I had a fantastic workout in the gym!

I feel like I purged all the alcohol out of my system! 1000% times better feeling now!

Now I'm having some coffee with my tuna for breaky!


Have a great day all!

[xXJennyXx]

I work at a gym but I workout at home!! Pretty funny :D

lol, I know where you're coming from.

Why do you prefer working out at home?

I used to work at a gym (serious!), and I found that after an 8 hour shift, I did NOT want to be there any longer than I had to.

I realise I could have easily done a set here and there throughout the day, but I was so paranoid that someone would find out that I was probably the most inexperienced personal trainer ever, and it would make it's way back to my boss! haha... :eek:

[andreams1]

Its great to see all the weight loss! :)

I've lost about 2 lbs but I can't say for sure until next week. Doing it every other week to adjust for water loss and things like that. Cardio has been good, do 15-20 mins after I lift and then spinning classes on the two days I'm not lifting. I'm sooooo jealous of you all that workout at home, waking up at 4:30 to go to the gym is serious business lol I am starting to get a little stronger already, its been a long time since I lifted weights

[Fightingenetics]

Glad to see we can help with motivation in return for all of your hard work coordinating for all of us FWF :)

Looks like a digi scale is the way to go. I have a traditional scale but never use it. Looks like it's time to trade up!

PS - I've lost 1" on my forearms in one week!! It may not seem like much, but that's such a hard area for me to lose from that I couldn't be happier!

[Striver]

Week 2. International chest day. Had a good 'un! How about you all? :)

[PressEnter]

My diet wasn't so great this weekend, and I had a few beers last night. I paid for it with a very rough workout today :(

I am encouraged to be benching a little better. I did 155x3 today...which might seem pathetic at my size, but it's the most I've done since I injured my shoulder a couple of years ago, and it was pain free.

[Sassy64]

Well I am still sick and it just won't seem to go away. It's starting to get on my nerves. Lol I did start my diet this week which is good! And a bit harder than I was expecting. Lol once I get fully better I will start my hardcore workouts! I can't wait! I've actually already started losing weight just by fixing my diet which is pretty cool! So overall I'm doing ok, I just need to feel better asap. I hope everyone is doing well! =)

Whats up gang. Hopefully everyone is on their way to reaching their goals.

I had a good amount of carbs for dinner last night for the first time in over a month. Felt great when I got to the gym, looked a lot fuller and had some energy.

Tonights dinner:

Chicken breast, red & green peppers, jalapeno's and broccoli. A potato, some cottage cheese and milk. Was delish.

Made enough for 3 meals and cooked up 3 supreme lean beef hamburgers as well

[krush777]

What a great thread! You guys are full of love and support! This is going to be fun and there is going to be a LOT of "transformationing" going on! All is going well so far and I am having fun! Thanks Everyone!!

[anti-bonk]

It's good to see so many posted pics and made it through the first week. I always found just making it through the first week of any diet or workout plan is the hardest. After that it starts to become more routine. Not necessarially easier but the first hurdle is always the toughest.

[all_american]

made it through midterms, rough week little sleep. Ready for this now though i finally got my schedule worked out and ready to hit it full speed. good luck yall lookin forward to it

[MsTropix]

Went to the gym tonight. Going to bed now with a headache and have a Drs appt in the morning. Good night y'all.

Week #2 runs from 3/15-3/21. You must post at least one time by midnight on 3/21. If you miss 2 weeks of posting, you will be disqualified from the contest.

[ASK.]

So much motivation and support from everyone. Too much love in this thread!
Let's all have the mindset of finishing, rather than trying to win. Of course we all want to win, but we should think about that as the end date approaches. For now i say WE ALL FINISH WHAT WE HAVE COMMITTED TO DO!

Good luck everyone and happy lifting!

[hardy the body]

New detailed post in my log entered in today. More small changes to diet and new workout program starting today. Im breakin my neck in the gym but I feel so good afterwards. Tired but good, Im more serious now with bb than any other time in my life and i cant wait to see my progress at the end of the contest.

Come by my log and critique if you like. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hopefully ill get back into the swing of things. hope everyone is gettin further than i am in this competition right now!!

on the plus side, im down by about another pound so thats a start.

[cawiau]

Today was good, did cardio and workout.
Diet was good:D

Glad to see everyone had such a good week last week!

Got some big news at work today. It's going to be a long, busy, and exhausting next few weeks at work. Very interested to see how I do with it all. This is going to take alot of prioritizing, planning ahead, and packing! Time to test my time management skills!

HELL yeah!! Big big things! Youll do just fine with everything just keep on a truckin!!! Congrats with everything it's all very very exciting!! Moto!!!

Good Morning everyone.

Woke up this morning to a coffee machine that's broken. Lights on but nothing's happening. Good thing there's a gas station next to my apartment building. I just about cried when there was no coffee waiting for me when i woke up.

Checked weight this morning and it's up 1lb. Not worrying too much because my body looks like it's lost, so i'm not sure what to make of it. Water? Maybe, but i was in the washroom every 30min last night from 5-11 ridding myself of water. That was a little annoying.

Using Double T CreaDyl and i've found some of those little zip lock bags so i can make individual servings and take them with me to work and the gym. Getting the tingle on my neck and face when i drink it. Haven't noticed anything with my lifts but i did notice that my cardio intensity went up. A little too early to tell so hopefully in a week i'll see more of a difference.

[cawiau]

Morning Everyone

Sorry to hear about the coffee machine and electricity kudostoJen, as for the 1 lb, don't worry much about it.

Have a great day everyone.

[Spacehead]

Have a great day everyone.
thanks, you too

I started my day with oatmeal and little less syrup this time :)

I've always told people that the scale doesn't tell the whole story, it's more what you see in the mirror and how you feel. I know for myself that I can fluctuate up to 10lbs in a single day through food intake and water consumption. This is why I prefer to weigh myself only once per week, Saturday mornings at 8am prior to eating or drinking anything, it prevents me from focusing on any one single day.

Good Luck!

I don't weigh myself everyday. I'd go nuts if i did. :eek: I pick one day, and one time a week to weigh in. Does it tell me everything? No, absolutely not, but it is noted.

Unfortunately, I like to see numbers. Most people do. It can be difficult to disregard those numbers but it's easier to do so when actual body changes are seen. I'm lucky that i have seen body changes.

[hyacinth30]

Egg mcMuffin, coffee and .5 a grapefruit to start my day. Home made of course! mmm

Good Morning everyone.

Woke up this morning to a coffee machine that's broken. Lights on but nothing's happening. Good thing there's a gas station next to my apartment building. I just about cried when there was no coffee waiting for me when i woke up.

Checked weight this morning and it's up 1lb. Not worrying too much because my body looks like it's lost, so i'm not sure what to make of it. Water? Maybe, but i was in the washroom every 30min last night from 5-11 ridding myself of water. That was a little annoying.

Using Double T CreaDyl and i've found some of those little zip lock bags so i can make individual servings and take them with me to work and the gym. Getting the tingle on my neck and face when i drink it. Haven't noticed anything with my lifts but i did notice that my cardio intensity went up. A little too early to tell so hopefully in a week i'll see more of a difference.

Well, that could be it right there! Were you using creatine before? The different types of creatine are still a bit of a mystery to me, and CreaDyl says it doesn't cause bloating, but could it be possible it's causing you to retain a tiny bit of water? I've tried different types of creatines and I've noticed that each of them (even the ones that say no bloating!) has caused me to not lose any weight in the first week (or gain a bit), but when I take a week or two break from it after I finish the bottle/tub, the extra bit of weight seems to come off on top of what I would have lost anyway.

I'm not an expert though, so if anyone else wants to chime in..! lol

Not corny at all. When I finished my first 5K last week, I pretty much cried because I felt like I accomplished so much even though it was a relatively short race.
Nothing can hold you back, carl! You got what it takes!

...and good job throwing that stupid cake out! Feel the power? 'Cause it took power to do that. Im glad you didnt wait to share this with us, what an inspiration you are to me!

As for me, I had ONE english muffin with coconut oil on it and my reg pro shake mixed with cocoa mix, alive mix, vanilla soy milk and gelatine mix.

I am taking the gelatine joint mix for my knees. I have also been working on leg/muscle strength to help take some work out of my knees to carry me upstairs to the gym- or anywhere for that matter. Its 3 flights of stairs to get to the gym floor. TERRIBLE for people with damaged knees. I just hope I get all this weight off BEFORE permanent damage is done to my knees.

[ossumday1]

Hitting the gym this afternoon for a full body workout then taking the rest of the week of for a deload. Start my new program Monday!

Way to freakin' go man! That's awesome...congatulations!

get that 5k, those are the funnest races for me

I went out for my first run last night in a while and made it 1.8 miles before stopping. Running is great in that, if you make it past the first 2 weeks or so...your ability to run longer and further skyrockets .

I would bet its the Creadyl if your seeing good changes in the mirror. There was a lady logging it a while back that reported bloating and water retention. Not sure what it would be from in the product, could be the monohydrate

[MsTropix]

It's good to see so many posted pics and made it through the first week. I always found just making it through the first week of any diet or workout plan is the hardest. After that it starts to become more routine. Not necessarially easier but the first hurdle is always the toughest.

Yes, I agree.


So much motivation and support from everyone. Too much love in this thread!
Let's all have the mindset of finishing, rather than trying to win. Of course we all want to win, but we should think about that as the end date approaches. For now i say WE ALL FINISH WHAT WE HAVE COMMITTED TO DO!

Good luck everyone and happy lifting!

GREAT attitute and encouragement!

Do you swim?

[FrmrHoss]

Do you swim?

Pool = good idea in general for bad knees. When I tore my MCL, this is where I spent a lot of my rehab work. You can find a lot of ways to use the water for resistance exercises that are pretty easy on the joints.

[FrmrHoss]

Well, that could be it right there! Were you using creatine before? The different types of creatine are still a bit of a mystery to me, and CreaDyl says it doesn't cause bloating, but could it be possible it's causing you to retain a tiny bit of water?

I'm not an expert though, so if anyone else wants to chime in..! lol






This for sure - there is a difference being causing bloating and retaining water imo. If you haven't been using a creatine product before it's definitely going to cause some additional water retention.

Also, I definitely understasnd the need to see some numbers but as long as you realize the scale isn't that important. I kind of have the compulsive need to weigh myself everyday too, but I use that scale weight to calculate a weekly average, and the average is the only thing I care about. That, and the most important thing in my eyes, which is my waist measurement, which I only take once a week.

[MsTropix]

Do you swim?

Yes ma'am, I swim often. There is a pool at my gym (which you still have to go up 3 flights of stairs, then down three flights, lol, to get to it. Which is stupid, because I park my car at the door of the pool, but they require that you sign in and go thru the building to get to it.

I also have a free pool 8 miles up the road, but they piss me off. They always have a reason to make you come back later because of weather, or get out and wait for routine pool maintenance, or change which side of the pool you are on for swimming classes, etc. Pain in the butt.

WHY do ya ask?

Yes ma'am, I swim often. There is a pool at my gym (which you still have to go up 3 flights of stairs, then down three flights, lol, to get to it. Which is stupid, because I park my car at the door of the pool, but they require that you sign in and go thru the building to get to it.

I also have a free pool 8 miles up the road, but they piss me off. They always have a reason to make you come back later because of weather, or get out and wait for routine pool maintenance, or change which side of the pool you are on for swimming classes, etc. Pain in the butt.

WHY do ya ask?

Oh, was just asking because like Mr FrmrHoss said, it's great for the knees!

Some gyms just put absolutely no planning into their setup, it makes me wonder who thought up some of the configurations. Certainly not people who work out! lol

The first gym I checked out was the one on my campus, and.. I have NEVER seen this before.. their "weight room" and "cardio room" are on opposite ends of the building! It was like a maze to try and find my way from one to the other.

Then, the second gym I was looking at is in the basement of a mall, and the only entrance to it is a stairwell in the middle of the food court. :o

Have an appointment for a tour of Gym #3 today.

Then, the second gym I was looking at is in the basement of a mall, and the only entrance to it is a stairwell in the middle of the food court. :o

Have an appointment for a tour of Gym #3 today.

Dude..I get confused by some gym setups as well. Any place that puts the weight room on the 2nd floor and the cardio on the bottom floor just boggles my mind. You'd think with all the weights slamming around upstairs it can't possibly be good for the floor!

Hope everyone is having an awesome Tuesday. :) I've finally managed to bust through my 142.5 lb. plateau (down to 141.8 this AM!) and things are looking great! Plan on getting a run in this afternoon..

I threw out 3/4 of a Chocolate Fudge Cake this morning:eek:... chocolate is my favorite and I just can eat sweets morning, lunch, snack, dinner and souper. yes, my dentist made a fortune off me growing up:p

I have a big sweet tooth, I admit it and I love eating sweets. It makes me happy.

But this morning I weight in at 235.4 lbs and no candy, cake, or food in the world ever made me feel as good as I felt this morning.

I'VE LOST 100 LBS Y'ALL:D:D:D

I wanted to wait till Sunday at weight to make sure and just in case I cheat... but damn it I could not hold it in anymore and the heck with cheating. To motivated now to stop


Congrats man!

Yes ma'am, I swim often. There is a pool at my gym (which you still have to go up 3 flights of stairs, then down three flights, lol, to get to it. Which is stupid, because I park my car at the door of the pool, but they require that you sign in and go thru the building to get to it


That's crazy!

If you're going to the gym anyway, definitely try swimming and resistance in the pool. It works! Getting in and out can be a pain, but the results and the decreased stress on the joints is worth it.

Oh, was just asking because like Mr FrmrHoss said, it's great for the knees!

I just can eat sweets morning, lunch, snack, dinner and souper.

That is so me! Glad to see I'm not the only one with the sweets problem! Congrats on conquering sweets and losing weight!!! I've been on a super strict diet for 3 weeks now and I really miss the sweets. I haven't cheated at all, though, even when my boyfriend was eating girl scout cookies in front of me (curse those damn delicious cookies!). Thus I'm on a quest for delicious protein shakes. So far I've found that Nitro Core Sensational Cinnamon Roll, Syntha-6 Vanilla Ice Cream and Syntha-6 Mochaccino are all pretty good.

I'm pretty full up on protein powder for now, but does anyone have some super delicious suggestions for protein powder when I need to buy more? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

Well, that could be it right there! Were you using creatine before? The different types of creatine are still a bit of a mystery to me, and CreaDyl says it doesn't cause bloating, but could it be possible it's causing you to retain a tiny bit of water? I've tried different types of creatines and I've noticed that each of them (even the ones that say no bloating!) has caused me to not lose any weight in the first week (or gain a bit), but when I take a week or two break from it after I finish the bottle/tub, the extra bit of weight seems to come off on top of what I would have lost anyway.

I'm not an expert though, so if anyone else wants to chime in..! lol







I would bet its the Creadyl if your seeing good changes in the mirror. There was a lady logging it a while back that reported bloating and water retention. Not sure what it would be from in the product, could be the monohydrate


I suspect you're both right. I didn't even think of that and i should have. I've taken creatine before and that's what usually happens.

This week hasn't started off too well, I have a test today and 2 tests tomorrow, that I have been studying a lot for, which means the gym was sacrificed. It sucked. :(

I'll probably only be able to go on Thursday, but I guess since my body hasn't taken a break in a while, this rest will help.

Good Morning everyone.

Woke up this morning to a coffee machine that's broken. Lights on but nothing's happening. Good thing there's a gas station next to my apartment building. I just about cried when there was no coffee waiting for me when i woke up.

Checked weight this morning and it's up 1lb. Not worrying too much because my body looks like it's lost, so i'm not sure what to make of it. Water? Maybe, but i was in the washroom every 30min last night from 5-11 ridding myself of water. That was a little annoying.

Using Double T CreaDyl and i've found some of those little zip lock bags so i can make individual servings and take them with me to work and the gym. Getting the tingle on my neck and face when i drink it. Haven't noticed anything with my lifts but i did notice that my cardio intensity went up. A little too early to tell so hopefully in a week i'll see more of a difference.

It's the CreaDyl. I'm having the same fluctuations. I'm assured it will level off in another week or so. OMG, I just logged about my tingle experience this morning. Stellar! That's some interesting stuff right there.


Oh..and I do have a log..

And this is week 2 we're in right now, correct??

It's a right nice lil place, too, our log. We hollowed it out, put up some curtains, and there's even a bbq pit outside. No indoor plumbin' though. We're hardcore. :D (said in best cheesy accent that would be heard in movie remake of Dallas)

Congrats on the loss Heather!


For me...skidding full speed into week 2 and about to head to the gym to make up for yesterday's total waste (but i did find very cool new couch...and a ton of other things i want. *sigh*).

only one I buy right now is Xtreme Formulations

the lemonade whey is freakin' amazing :D

then they have UP1.0 and UP2.0, only had the 2.0 and every flavor is awesome.....they have a sale for $80 you get 6 tubs of either strawberry or vanilla...the choco pb in up2.0 is ridiculously good

that about sums up how awesome XF is :)

I also have a free pool 8 miles up the road, but they piss me off. They always have a reason to make you come back later because of weather, or get out and wait for routine pool maintenance, or change which side of the pool you are on for swimming classes, etc. Pain in the butt.

WHY do ya ask?

I actually have bad knees and I water run in the shallow side a lot. It keeps a lot of the weight off my knees, but also provides really good resistance. Apparently a lot of marathon runners also train like that...but I'm not completely sure on that one.

Although not going to lie....the pool that you go to sounds utterly ridiculous...3 up then 3 down??? Thats going to kill your knees before you even get to the pool.

[swindled]

oh no why did you have to remind me!!! lol

No drinking for this kid this year :(

... I'll figure something out.... lol

Soda water with a lime...tastes close to a gin and tonic. Plus if you're in a blacklight room, it picks up the light and glows a crazy light green :D

May not be the traditional St. Patty's beer, but it still tastes pretty good.

Most excellent idea... probably gonna end up with something like sprite zero and some green food coloring haha. I'm not going out (poor + temptation) but I'll be sure to have one at home while my friend has green beer lol

I tried Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade and I must say I was disappointed... I love lemonade flavored things, but it was just too... whey-like lol. However those silly gimmic Slim Quick drink mixes... the lemonade flavor is awwwweeeeeeessssssssoooooommmmmeeeee

I just tried Controlled Labs Lemonade Purple Wraath last night and it's probably one of the best lemonade flavored supplements that I've tried. It tastes WAY better then the grape. I highly recommend it along with Purple Intrain.
