I hope everyone is also making incredible gains as well and out doing their own personal best. I must admit, ain't nothing better than having that feeling that nothing, no matter how impossible it may seem, is out of one's reach.

What's up, Bro? Congrats on busting through your goals! Continue to do so! That Halo is the "truth"! I hope that you continue to shatter your fitness goal and good luck to you in the contest. See you at the end....training hard till then!

I've not been here for a while since I've been busy with lots of work and school. As far as progress goes, there has not been much here. I been fighting to squeeze a workout here and there.

Good luck everyone!!!

That was me on Friday. Pasta did me in...then I figured....might as well have some dessert too! Yesterday I ate too many carbs too. I guess I fell off the wagon a bit....but...I don't think it will hinder my progress too bad! Just gotta get right back on!

[herecumthachamp]

there are no cheat meals my friends so you ate unclean one day or two days its ok think of it as shocking your body. you have been eating clean so long your probably eating less than you need to be so when you eat something that is not clean(NO SUCH THING AS BAD FOOD) you catch up on some nutrients. what iam trying to say is dont get down on yourselves keep your head up its not the end of the world.

My issue is the other way around, my cloth are not dropping rather
squeezing LOL :-) Its worth it, cause it ads to feeling healthy

[funktronik]

Hey is anyone out there doing the Scivation diet? I ran across it and was wondering if anybody has had success with it and/or was incorporating it with this contest. I basically sounds like a super low carb diet with a carb loading meal every three days.

i have done it before, and it works really well. basically i'm going off of that diet with a little bit of improv, and so far so good. their tri-phase workout goes very well with it

[clintfranklin]

Two weeks in of working super hard and eating right. I've seen great results so far. I just posted progress pics. I hope everyone else is still hitting it hard. This is one of the greatest things I have found to join. Everyone is here for the same reason and the support is great. Keep it up everyone. You have to go through the fire to make steel.

What's up, Bro? I commend you on your efforts, continue to make a diligent effort to train where or whenever you can; it will be tough, but you can do it! A little progress is better than none! Keep your head up.

Right on! Thanks for the input.

As Tony Horton of P90X says..."Bring it!"

[rubenramos2]

I will contiue to use the resources that I have. Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. The main thing I am really worried about is getting a good leg workout. Is it possible to gain mass without a lot of weight? Maybe I can drive the 45 miles to the gym on leg day.

[OldManSkinny]

I had a friend ask me how I figure out what and when to eat. It got me really thinking about the "rules" I've got locked in my brain that guide my meal planning. I wrote some things down in my recipe forum, post #19 if you're interested.

Im going to start the Scivation CHA diet (Carb Haters Anonymous). Lots of protein, little (or no carbs), mod fat. If you want, 3 cups of green veggies per day. One "cheat" meal per week (optional).

This will go with the Scivation Antagonistic Training System. Train oppsite Body parts on same day.... ie: chest/back...

Going full force from here on in...........

[kevinvu34]

just checking in with everyone and hope you're all on spot...I was doing a keto diet but now switching over to a cyclic keto diet because I'm losing weight too quickly...I want to sacrifice the least amount of muscle that I can so I gotta switch up a little...One thing I'm happy with though is I'm still getting a tad stronger every week. benched 515lbs and squatted(ass to ankle) 405 for 3 sets of 16 reps this week. hope all is well...

[TRANSMIGRATION]

What's up all!?!? Things are going great on this end. I'm gaining muscle and losing weight also. At least I think I am because the fat is coming off and my bench, leg press and arm curl max is going UP UP UP. Here is a little progress picture - just my arm but feeling the pump. Hope everyone's progress is going well too, I love reading the forum everyday for inspiration.

Man I feel your pain. My gym is about 45min to an hour away depending on traffic. I go twice a week, for legs and back. Keep doing what your doing the hard work will pay off.

[rangelpump]

Start 02/02/09 280lb
02/09/09 271.5lb
02/16/09 270lb

I was hoping to lose more weight this week but only lost about a pound. I'm eating clean and haven't fell off the wagon, nor do i plan to.

Hitting the weights hard, my cardio is pretty light right now. I'm trying to get my knees and ankles used to the new work load. I will step up the cardio a little this week and hope to jogging by next week.

I got about an hour of sparring in on sunday. It was a very humbling experience after about a 3 year layoff from that. But man did i have some FUN.
Everybody stay healthy and keep working hard.

[holly583wood]

Here is the last one...I didn't realize that I forgot this one originally, but as you can tell, it is on the same day

Seems to me it would be profitable to buy your own home gym. Home gym price would be = to the money on gas, gym membership and 45 min of time driving. You two could probably get a nice gym set for that. Is it 45 min both ways too? Just a thought.

Your current is what I want my end results to be, lol. Looking good.

[holly583wood]

Thanks man. It sounds like you are having some great progress too! Keep it up

I"ve lost no weight since I started and stayed relatively around the 198-200pd range... however, my abs are starting to show and I'm seeing muscles I've never seen before! I got rid of my scale and replaced it with a mirror - it is a better way to determine the state of your progress!

[justboo2u]

I prefer the scale/mirror/tape combo...


... cause mirrors don't always tell the truth either!
