I really hate when I see guys lifting less weight than me on leg day. Makes me a sad panda. One guy had 2 plates on the seated calf and I asked if he was going to be done soon and he's like sure do you want me to strip 1 plate off for you? I was like no, I need to add 2....

Go get'em!!!

Speaking of legs, I'm offering my calves free to a good home, they are big, muscular and have a habit of breaking zippers on boots. Iv tried loving them unconditionally and accommodating their needs but ultimately they've just become too expensive to maintain, and I worry they'll be a liability if I ever need to borrow my friends boots or skinny jeans. They will make a great addition to anyone whose big on top and is having trouble building up their bottom half. Or anyone who just has a desire to have giant calf muscles

Ok so I just broke down and installed myfitnesspal on my iPhone. My weight isn't moving like I really want it to and now I see why LOL!

Thanks to those who use it. Reading your posts made me give it a try and I'm glad that I did.

I would be lost without myfitnesspal. Seriously, I would not write my food if I had to track it on paper.

Well my scale did not show any progress this week. It showed I am up one pound from last week.
But I know the rule of the scale (don’t fully believe in them).
I kept diet pretty good. Not my best but for sure a lot better than I had been. Hit the trails 3 times this week and just tried to keep my “stuff “ moving.
Hope all have a great weekend!

Any news about the OBF T shirts?

[nicscoffee]

bad wings last night.the garlic sauce made me ill. No protein load this am. My stomach says no. What a mess up ate out and felt ill. I'll stick with my own kitchen.

[MoEcho]

Your fun fact of the day:

"If the world population consumed as much as the average American, we would need the resources of five Earths to survive' LOLOL

Not enough interest to place an order.

This made me laugh out loud!

Well I figured I would post up some pics at the half way mark. "Father Time" seems to be catching up to me since it is certainly more difficult to get rid of the "spare tire" around my waist then before. It is a little embarrassing to look at my before pics and realize that I let myself get so far out of shape over the past couple years. And these 16 weeks is just the beginning of a continued transformation. I dropped about 10 lbs so far (I expected a little more) but my waist is down, clothes fit differently and co-workers are commenting about how it looks like I am losing weight-so it looks like I am on the right track.





Chest has never been a strong body part for me and have always had a tough time to build.......Plus unfortunately that seems to be the one area which seems to atrophy as men get older.......SO I am not really happy about these pics

This is a comparison shot of one of my better body parts


Seems to be a little more separation within the muscles. And less area hanging over the belt line LOL

Still got many weeks to make some changes so I will do my best. I see progress (hopefully others do too) and once again it is not where we start but where we finish that matters. And I am not gong to stop the transformation process until I see another 20-30 lbs off this body.

Keep working hard everyone.

You're looking good sir. You can definitely see some cutting going on and muscle definition coming into play. Keep on the track that you're on because it is clearly the right one for you.

Proud of you my friend!!!

[mom2e3]

Speaking of legs, I'm offering my calves free to a good home

Let's talk terms. I'm in need of calf help (thank you genetics). I don't want all your calf muscles. I think 1/3 will do me just fine.

YES! You definitely look much tighter now--no doubt about that. I think you're doing fantastic work!

You are doing great!! Keep up the awesome work!

I got all my workouts in this week, but they were nothing to write home about. I have had this nagging, irritating cough that gets much worse at night, making it difficult to sleep, so I have been dragging my ass in the gym....but better than not at all, right. I have not had much of an appetite the last few days either, making it difficult to get in my necessary bulking cals. Hopefully this week will be better.

In other news, I went to see the Provincial BB comp today and there was not one female physique\bb competitor. NOT ONE There were a million figure girls and a million bikini girls but no bb girls. Kind of disappointing..but it seems like womens bodybuilding is slowly becoming obsolete.

[DomesticDiva]

Great session today! No slacking for me. I shall feel it tomorrow and I won't complain a bit.

Guys!!! is 8 out of the 50 competitors.. nearly 1/5 of all the individuals and this is half way through! PLEASE PLEASE update just once a week and see this through!

Just doing a check up in here as well being a judge, and so far after lurking some of the logs on here i am impressed by the work being put in.

Keep fighting, keep grinding, and most of all keep that prize in the picture. See the light at the end of the tunnel and keep focused! It will be here before you know it.

[Skullster]

Ah Sunday morning is here. It's time for some rest, football and homemade pizza!

Wow a little shocked at how many people just got DQ'd. Determination and consistency are so key to accomplishing anything in life.

Stick to the program folks and you will win in the end because no matter what you will be better than you were before you started.

[ShayZ]

well, weight stays flat but a belt which didnt fit me a month ago fits now, so I guess that something. Every have a greta week, and happy veterans day!

Come on guys, no more disqualifications. Get those posts in!!!! You can do this. We are almost there.

Happy rememberence day to all Canadians.


Last 3 days have been bad.. Hard trying to balance weight lifting and a social lift all the time. Didn't indulge as much as I normally would but I'm still somewhat disappointed in myself.

[ellybelle]

I have a confession: I know this is a body transformation contest and it's all about how our body looks with nothing on BUT I LOVE the way that my clothes are fitting me. Maybe I'm a little backwards...especially since I have a goal of doing my first show in the Spring of 2013 and I'll wear only underwear LOL the change in the way that my clothes fit is AWESOME! Am I the only person that feels like that?

Iv been on a total shopping spree this wkend, even though we're only half way through I'm totally enjoying the changes in my body, my silhouette in clothes looks pretty good right now, got a whole new wardrobe of tight pants and figure hugging sweaters, happy days

[crownroyle]

post for the week......

this

I guess I'll add something else though... I feel like my motivation is starting to slip because I've seen some results. This is what tends to happen with me. I start to make progress and then I get content with where I am. I know what i should do but I'm having trouble doing it.
Maybe just the fact that I'm admitting it this time will help in a way. Anybody else? Thoughts?

[tjwoody]

phew rough not feeling well and eating to much weekend!

[beefcake66]

home renos - tough shizzzz

[cyanotikat]

Great workout this morning. Hit deads and abs a little bit after... Feeling wonderfullll!!
