I catch people in the mirror quite a bit watching me lift... but I assume its because I'm a girl and I've ventured beyond the limits of "cardio island" or the numerous cybex ab/adductor machines... A...

I take shred matrix too - once I took it and got sidetracked before I started cooking and ended up not eating for an hour or so... I felt like I was going to die, light headed, sick, weak, miserable....

Hey - My first figure show is exactly 8 weeks from tomorrow - and I am SO excited! I know that my posing is my weakest aspect right now. There are a few girls at the gym that have done a couple shows...

In prepping for my first contest, I have learned that there's a BIG difference between eating HEALTHY and eating CLEAN. I always thought of myself as a healthy eater, always whole grains, high...

crackers and whip cream? never heard of that combo... gonna have to say that a skinny cow would taste better :)

I'm definitely going to whole foods tomorrow to find some arctic freeze! Thanks!! The weightwatchers bars look great, but I would definitely eat the whole bar. The ice cream I will be able to just...

I feel like if it still makes your face tingle, it still works :) loved jack3d... just bought Assault to try... not a fan. I'm sticking with Jack3d.

I always thought to avoid milk at night... high GI.

I totally understand the financial constraints... I am a grad student training for my first figure show in July. I started networking with the local girls that had competed before, and was referred...

I have read through quite a few pages of stories on this thread, and I Love it! I have always been athletic, but weighed in at 150 lbs and 5'3... but I was a division I athlete, so not unfit by any...

I do a LOT of interval training... 20 minutes on the stair master, at a difficult level for 30 seconds, then an easier rest level for 30 seconds. It makes the time go by MUCH faster, too.

I'm going to minorly thread jack... I am also interested in taking a fat burner (I've been researching the lipo6 and animal cuts), with my first figure show 12 weeks out... when would you all suggest...

1 scoop of whey
2 egg whites
1 egg
1/4 cup oats

delicious with spray butter :)
