Besides getting enough clean calories in your diet, how about upping your cardio... maybe 3-4x week 60 min a shot. And I agree with Dr., those super high reps are great! I did them for a year and it totally kicked my butt. Also did super-sets for almost every body part. Literally ran from...

I doubled my calcium intake (yummy chewables that I considered a cheat treat cuz they have sugar) the entire time I dieted. I havent had my period in almost 2 years now, but speak with my OBGYN every year and he says Im ok. Just wish i didnt have the PMS still. Also took 5,000 mg of C eveyday...

Bump for what Sassy and Fit said. Same went for me.. for my competitions, its the last to go and the first to come creeping back.. guess that happens when you have ovaries to protect.

Sassy, I totally agree! It is soooo worth it! So damn exciting. Who cares that youre about to pass out on your ass? You're up there and there are hundreds, maybe thousands of people watching you and the adrenaline is flowing!! oh, the distilled water thing works for me. That combined with...

Since i am such a piggy piggy.. during winter I can get up to around 18%. Still only takes me 8 weeks to get back down to contest weight and BF. It helps me lift heavier on those of season months.

Spanks Ann!! I feel a little better now, went and blew out a ton of H2O doing 75 minutes of cardio.

Im so bloated today, the following steps should be taken: Full body massage with Prep H, wrapped into an old fashioned metallic jogging suit, a couple of water shunts installed in abdomen, arms and legs, then placed into a sauna for approx. 2 hours. Maybe, then only maybe will I get rid of...

Another woman working her butt off and showing great results!! Good for you, you look great!

Hi HG! What a great post! The older I get the more I realize that women truly inspire other women. It can get so frustrating looking at the muscle mags and all thats in there is men! Girlz rule!

Being a card caryying member of the Itty Bitty Tittie Committee, I understand the desire for the fake bags(as my b.friend calls 'em). When I first lost a bunch of bodyfat I was kinda freaked, Im getting better now, through weekly meeting at the IBTC.. heeheee... heres side pic.. no boobies, but...

I was trying to get these up for you, but Im a dunce, sorry.. cant even get my own pics up. Anyway, you look great! Good to see another couple workout together!

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness usually occurs more than 24 hours after a workout. Carbohydrates immediately after a workout help the severity of this. Mine starts at around 36 hours, then lasts for up to 4 or 5 days. Cant sit down to pee without being in pain, going down stairs makes you feel...

You should do it!! The Womens Extravaganza was near here last weekend, and it had all diff. types of lifting divisions for women. Wanted to go, but didn't get a chance. Keep us informed about it.. I love it!

Ive found that the whole "body shape" thing doesnt apply when you become very lean. Eventually, all the fat comes off. Earlier this summer I cant even remember how many women told me that they eat "Clean", yet still have fatty deposits in certain areas they cant get rid of. Eventually, all...

Hey, Im not knockin em. I eat em all the time, and did 3x a day for 8 weeks before my show. Its the shit to get rid of bodyfat. But my pre-contest diet was so limited, it took me awhile to get back to eating them again :fro: Heehee. love that fro
