Some possibilities:

Daytona Beach (friend at Embry Riddle)

Miami (some sort of package deal)

Pompano Beach (friends condo if he comes with)

That is a nice range of places. I am headed to Daytona/Ft. Lauderdale March 4-15th, I can't wait. I have really been dropping the weight for this one.

greekblondechic · 02-03-2004, 10:43 PM

using any special tricks to drop that weight?

**Dale Mabry** · 02-03-2004, 10:54 PM

Yeah, vomitting after every meal.

Jus playin. Actually, I have severely restricted my calories since January 1st and been doing cardio 4 times a week. I have dropped 20 lbs so far and will drop another 10 before I leave. The first week I lost like 10 lbs so I threw in 2 cheat meals a week, one on Thursday and one on Sunday. The only supps I am using are flax, a multi, micellean MRP, and Phosphatidylserine. I used absolved for a week, but took it out so i could use it at the end when I plateau, which will prolly be at around 210 or so.

Weight loss can be quick (muscle, fat and water), but fat loss is not. To lose fat and retain LBM you're looking at around 1-2 pounds per week maximum, and that is if you do everything correctly, i.e. diet, nutrition and training.

You have to burn an extra 3500 calories for every pound of fat above what your body requires. So, by calorie reduction and training (weights and cardio) you're looking at 500 calories per day to lose 1 pound of fat per week.

Hope that helps, or at least gives you some perspective.
