Hey there, LadyJ! Ahhh, that never ending pursuit of the slim waist. lol You can do it! Did you find a swimsuit last night?


ETA: Oh and great idea about reposting the "after" pics from the last thread. I figured there was no reason to have a start date a few days out. There's no time like the present to get started.

[barbrox]

Starting this new transformation thread with a tailbone injury is not how I saw this going, but that's how things go sometimes. All lifting is out for at least a week. I want to rest my back as much as possible to let it heal. The quicker it heals; the better I'll be off in the long run. Right now, I can walk just fine, but any bending, squatting, or lifting my legs brings on a lot of pain. After a week, I'll see which exercises I can manage. Controlling my diet will be key to sticking to my goals.

Starting: 112ish lbs (I'll update tomorrow.)
Program: ICF 5x5
The Plan: Cut, cut, and cut some more. Sans injury, I would go for 105, but I need to be realistic now. I'll be satisfied if I'm in the 108-110 range.

The Viking has entered the fray. I know exactly what you mean about color pics. lol

[kpro729]

Id love to be in this! Been working at it a while and currently 228 lb at 5'8. It would be nice to have a sense of community with this goal!

[MrM27]

Every time I'm feeling happy with my progress along comes a damn Viking to pillage my pride.

Znik, amazing pics. How much better do you think the lose skin will be compared to last summer. Maybe it's just me but I can already see a big improvement in your pics.

I'm sorry, kpro729. This thread is limited to LF Chat regulars only. Please see OP.

I would suggest you joining the February 1st to May 1st Transformation Motivation Thread:

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=159786711

You can join at any time. Although it ends in a couple weeks, NitrogenWidget usually starts a new one right after. There's a great group of people in there with lots of support and motivation. It might just be what you're looking for. Good luck to you.

I have absolutely no idea, I feel like it's worse this time. But I think that might be due to fat being burned differently this time so there is pockets of skin that was filled before and now it's not while other parts that usually been empty are fuller so there is a worse drag.
Will see how it turns out when I am finished cutting, hopefully getting rid of all the fat and staying that way through the summer will make a impact on it.

[Virten]

Is it too late to join? If not, I'm in.

Sorry, Virten. This thread is limited to LF Chat regulars only. Please see OP.

[lucksterx]

Took photos this morning, will post when I'm back from work. Just started ICF 3x5 today, this is my first time doing this routine. I was pretty pumped to be doing new exercises, it's got me excited again :-)

Can't scroll up atm to look at starting pics, might get strange stares with Znik's half naked self covering 90% of my screen.

[stingray72]

Ive eaten two meals out of 3 already and im only up to 1070 calories and I usually eat 1900 - 2000 on my cut. I might just eat less today if the trend continues.

[cunfewzed]

Yeah, sorry for my slacking. I need to take photos as well.

[EjnarKolinkar]

Yoplait strawberry cheesecake and apple pie 100 Cal Greek yogurts. Decided to give these a try today. Should have stuck with my fayheaa 2/blueberry blended combo.

Both the new yoplait tasted like chit.

Bought a walmart store brand southwest spicy mustard. Food of the gods. 60 cals for 6 tsp made the lunch wraps into cash money. Nice ingredients list too. Mustard sugar bell pepper paprika turmeric.

I tried the Yopplait strawberry, cherry and vanilla flavors and did not like them. However, the Mixed berries one was my favorite. I ate plenty of that one. Especially if you put it in the freezer for 20 or 30 min first. Really awesome. You should give it a shot.

Yes, mixed berry was a winner for sure. It is the only one I liked so far as well. The Dannon 80 cal greek ones have fared a bit better, I think most were OK, except key lime, it was weird. I usually get one to mix with a 7 oz F_A_G_E 2% just to give it a little sumtin-sumtin

EDIT: Just looked it up it was the cherry chocolate dannon greek light and fit I liked best.

[Galindo62]

i store most of my fat in my back. goal again is to lose 5 lbs and not be pale.




rezied the pics to be smaller. hopefully photobucket will adjust accordingly soon
