I don't remember below 120 before? Real weight or just water? How are you feeling?

I decided to bail on my flag football game this afternoon and take it easy

Flag football huh? HOW FUN!! I am so jealous...is it a co-ed team or just a womans team? How long have you been playing? (sorry for all the questions, I am just curious!)

I am so glad to hear that you were able to rest on Saturday as well as some RT pampering time!

Hi IP! It is a lot of FUN! It's a co-ed team - 8 team members on the field the entire time with a minimum of 3 women. Every third play has to be a girl play, so yes, the girls' have a good bit of pressure on them. It's sponsored by my gym which is how I was coerced to sign up ("it's great cardio" ). We however haven't been great at coordination and haven't been able to win any one of our three games yet. The guys are all huge (being from the gym) and almost too big to move around quick enough in the limited space we have for flag football. Last week, the other team told us that if it were a bench pressing competition, we'd totally have them beat after they knocked us out 40-0!!

Thanks, Mermaid! I saw under 120 a couple of times last weekend right at the end of my 20 day dry/cheat meal free spell too. Not sure if it is real weight or water weight, but overall, I think I've definitely dropped 1-2lbs. These clean eating stretches definitely seem to be working better than my one cheat meal/week that I was doing before. I'm sure you'll be seeing that on your end too. And I do feel good.

I may be changing up the diet in a week or so. I think your motto of "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" is finally sinking in. I haven't been thrilled with the lady who has been giving me my eating plan. To her credit, she got me down from 23-16% bf fairly quickly with one binge meal a week, but I really need to budge from this 15.5-16% range that I've been stuck at for four months now. I haven’t been able to match up her logic with what I read on here, so I’m losing some faith in her credibility.

So after some research, I may be going with a Beverly Int'l plan. I know a few ladies on this forum have had luck with it and Slat1 was kind enough to point me to them a while ago. It’s expensive to buy their supplements, but I figure I will give them a shot for 4-6 weeks to see what happens. I feel like I’m so close to the end that I can’t give up or hover at the same spot for ages. Details to come....if anyone has any comments on Beverly Int'l, I'd love to hear them!

Congrats on getting below 120! Nice work!

Good luck with the new plan as well. I have a friend who competes and they use a Beverly Intl resource for their diet. It has worked really well for her!

HIIT on the Philly Art Museum steps in the spring...you really are trying to make me jealous! haha!

Have a good Monday, Rooney!
