This is the journal for a little comp between Burner, Ian, Roc, Billie and Tammy.

We each have our own goals and will exceed our goals

Arch is our Prez and will judge this little shin-dig.

The thought is that we'll take initial pics and then take pics every week to send to Arch to post at the end.

Not sure on when we'll end yet, or what the prizes will be....we'll see!

Oh yeah, this shibby starts on Monday, June 19th, right guys? We can always start earlier if we wanted to!!!!

Posted by: Archangel

I'm ready!!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I am too!!! I wish we were starting this Monday.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

6/12/06 Monday -- Day 1 of Diet

OK, I've started my diet. I'll have before pics up very, very soon! I took them yesterday.

Starting Weight: 130 (I've obviously gained the 3lbs back that I lost.

Here we go!

Posted by: Burner02

Let's Roll.

Posted by: b_reed23

I'm ready too...I will try to find time this week to post stats and send my pics to Archy, My starting weight is 129, my goals will be nearly the same as everyone elses...lose fat, gain muscle

Posted by: Pylon

OK, I'm in...

I'll get some stats together later. Will be starting before the set date, if that is ok...

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I've already started and so has Billie. And I know Burner and Roc are already working out too.

Come on in Py!!!

Yea! Another victim

You know, it really is amazing how much you and I are alike Billie

Posted by: Rocco32

Alright, this should be fine. But I'm NOT posting my before pics until AFTER the competition LOL. They'll be sent to Archie. And are we taking and sending pics every week or just measurements?

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Arch said pics every two weeks....so I think that's fine. But I think we should try to at least weigh in and take measurements every week. What do you guys think of that?

You don't have to post pics until afterwards -- that's cool with me!

Posted by: Pylon

I think 2 weeks sounds good.

Posted by: tucker01

I am the same as Rocco. I won't be starting till next monday the 19th.

Hopefully I can stick to this. LOL

Posted by: Fitgirl70

You're gonna stick to it, if you don't I'm spankin' your ass!

Posted by: Archangel

Good Stuff, we have alot of winners in here!!!

Hmmmm?!?! that sounds like motivation to quit already

Posted by: Stewart14

hey, how many journals do you have girl???

I'm losing track keeping up with all of them!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I only have one journal......and one competition journal that I share with Py, Burner, Billie, Roc and Ian

What? You want a piece of it too?

Posted by: Stewart14

nahh I'm gonna sit this one out! I change my goals to often to be in a competition, I would get smoked!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Well......roll em if you got em

Posted by: Pylon

Hey, more people in means more bling for me when I win!

Posted by: boilermaker

Can I get in on this? This might just be the motivational kick in the A** that I need.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I think we'd agreed to go through to August.

Posted by: boilermaker

This should be fun. Just what I need to get me going now that the big spring gardening rush is winding down.

Posted by: Pylon

August? *sigh* OK...

Posted by: b_reed23

Posted by: b_reed23

when you discontinue the diet, Tam...will it all come back?? Have you still been taking the MP? I LOOOOVE the Lipo6

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Nope, not if I keep up the good eating habits. I am discovering how my body reacts to certain foods and as soon as I add in fish, turkey, chicken and beef, there will be even more that I discover.

Plus, I'm working out while on the diet too -- so unless I just chow down on mexican, italian and hamburgers after the diet's over....I don't intend on it ever coming back!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh yes, I'm taking the MP...I love it too

Posted by: DeadBolt

Whoa whats all this supp crap going on? Whats everyone taking here? I may have to jump on the wagon and get something to boost me up a bit...got knows my fat ass could use it!

Posted by: boilermaker

You all know I'm in. I'll be with PY and Arch tomorrow. Pics and Measurements to follow on Sunday. Let's rock! The goods are mine!!!!!!!

Posted by: b_reed23

DB....I am taking Lipo6, great boost of energy for about 2-3 hrs

Posted by: boilermaker

I'm going from fat guy to trim guy. Hope you all can keep up!

Posted by: b_reed23

oh yeah?? Well, well...um...I'm going from HOT to HOTTER!! top that Boiler!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh yea....well...well, um...I'm going from fitty too hottie to fitty soooo hottest!

OK, boiler, DB -- let's get this show on the road! Where are the stats???

Posted by: Rocco32

Tried to take pics this morning, but batteries in camera were dead. I'll have stats at least up tonight!

Posted by: boilermaker

I'll get my stats posted tonight as well. Pics to Archie, right? When does this little shindig end? Oh, and Billie, I could never top that. Hope everyone does great and makes it tough for Archie to judge.

Posted by: Rocco32

Well I'm going from Chunky monkey to Hunky

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Chunky to Hunky, huh? Well I already think you're hunky...how dare you think you can make me wanna use you as a slip and slide--anymore than I already wanna do!!!!

Steve...I am in no place to give advice...but it looks like you need to build up your lower half to balance out your body...my thighs are much bigger than yours

Uh...... O.K.

4" above the knee, correct?

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Actually, shouldn't that be right in the middle of the quad? If you only get 4" above the knee, you're barely getting any quad at all -- and then it really depends on how long you are from hip to knee......right?

Posted by: b_reed23

I measure mine at the fullest part of the thigh area...I guess that's different for everyone

Posted by: Rocco32

Alright...time for the most embarrasing!!!

Weight- 220
Calves- 15.5
Thighs- 25.25
Waist- 40
Bi's- 15.5
Shoulders- 55
Chest- 45

Everything cold.

I measured myself so there is room for variance...however I did them all twice and came up with the same numbers, so when I do it again if I'm messing it up...it'll be consistent

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Good idea taking them twice Roc. Good morning sexy -- by the way!

I didn't take any of mine twice except maybe the waist. I probably should've. Oh well!

Posted by: boilermaker

I'll remeasure at mid-thigh so I'm on the same page as everyone else. I thought I read that 4" thing somewhere. Maybe not, maybe I'm just looney.

Posted by: Pylon

Ok, stats are up...all cold and unflexed

Calves L 18 R 18.5

Well, some thoroughly depressing numbers. But I figure it will make winning that much easier!

Hope you all don't mind me watching this comp from the sidelines.

Plus I wouldn't want to miss comments like these

Posted by: b_reed23

it's not a huge accomplishment...but I waled 31.70 miles last week

Posted by: Fitgirl70

STOP!!!

So, this is the week for pics right?

Posted by: Archangel

Hope all is well for you all!!! Got Brother Pylons and Boilers pics!!! Everyone................................Start your engines!!!

LOL, I always wanted to say that!!!

Posted by: Pylon

I'm up and running...or riding, at least.

Hey, did anyone catch the article on running in men's health this month? Interesting stuff...

And I'm voting for weekly weigh-ins, but I suggest we pick a day. I'm thinking either Tuesday or Friday. (Tuesday because I do a cheat meal on Sat or Sun, and that gives it a day to clear out, or Friday because it may change your eating plans for the weekend.

)

Posted by: Seanp156

Hrmm... So is it ok for me to post stats/measurements? DB did

Posted by: Fitgirl70

This is the line-up of competitors - there are 8 of us:
Billie
Fitty
Burner
Ian
Rocco
Pylon
BoilerMaker
DB

BTW, I'll be on the road the rest of the week, so posting my weigh in now. (Even if I'm the only one posting weekly, it will help keep me honest.) Came in this morning at 261 (down 4 this week.)

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I'm posting weekly too Py. Be good while on the road!

Good job on the 4 pounds!!!

Posted by: naturaltan

Speaking of songs, have you heard the new cut off of Christina Aguilera CD

Posted by: b_reed23

so we are posting stats and sending pics tomorrow then??

I have a suggestion...you know we were all thinking of what the prizes could be for this comp?? I was thinking we all send $5 or $10 to Archy, and the winner takes all...we could also send some samples, or each chip in some kind of supplements to send to Arch, and the winner gets all the supps...how does this sound?? Anyone have some other suggestions?? I know that Money and free Supplements motivate me!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Sheeeesh....they motivate me too!

All sounds good to me. Maybe we could all just send Arch a little care package (including the $5 or $10) and then winner will take all!

Posted by: Archangel

Hey BRother Pylon, Congrats on the weight loss, keep at it my Friend!!! I like the idea of the care package and winner takes all!!! Hope everyone is doing Great on their routines, GODspeed you all!!!

Posted by: Pylon

waitaminnut...we are supposed to send pics each week? That sounds like a cruel thing to do to poor Archie!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Actually, aren't doing pics every two weeks and doing measurements and weighing in every week???? I'm confused

But I guess it gives him a good idea of how we're progressing

Posted by: Pylon

I think 2 week pics are a much better timeframe.

Posted by: b_reed23

what does everyone think about the money/care pack idea??

Also...I forgot, but when is the end date for this thing??

Posted by: Pylon

I'm ok with it.

End date? It never ends!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

No, no....competitions all have to end some time! Didn't we say end of August?

Posted by: Pylon

Bah! Let's go forever!!!!!

Ok, end of August.

Thanks Burnsy...the plus side of living in the south is, people keep telling me to quit losing weight..."you are getting too thin" and "your whittling down to nothing" have become every day things for me to hear at work and at home (sometimes more than once

) I can't beleive that I lost almost a whole percent already!!

Ok, officially weigh in day. Came in at 259, down 6 from last week (Sunday). I will get pics this weekend before heading to San Diego.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I still need to take pics Arch. I will get the hubby to take them tonight for me and will send to you in the morning.

I'm getting my "care package" off to you today too.

Billie, you are doing awesome!!

I need to get measurements today too. I think I'm leaning out more now, rather than obtaining too much more muscle. You can really see my muscles now though!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh, by the way, I've finished my program and I'm down 10lbs and down 2 pant sizes.

Ok, for measurements:

BEFORE
Waist: 29
Hips: 36
Chest:38
Quads: 20
Calves: 13 1/2
Biceps: 11 1/2

NOW
Waist: 28
Hips: 35
Chest: 37
Quads: 19
Calves: 12 1/2
Biceps: 11

I'll try to go downstairs to our health departement and get my bf tested in a little while.

Posted by: Archangel

AWESOME, looks like everyone is doing great, keep it up my Friends!!!

we were at the lake this weekend, and the missus flagged down a group of gals with a fine set.

We had a few beers, shared a few stories and then they were on their way. Had it not been a family outing, who knows where the stories would have lead.

Posted by: Burner02

what? No pics of the new friends???? NT...u are slacking, sir!
Dang...are all Canadian women that hot-n-horny?????

Posted by: naturaltan

Posted by: Burner02

(and..I've been to the gym twice in a month....)

besides...I never do 'contests'....I was merely working on a friendly 'push' for both Rocco and myself...we are both at about nearly the same place, healthwise.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

So is it really only the three of us?

I'm going to find Rocco

Posted by: b_reed23

Yup. Might not even mind if I lose...

And yes, Tam, I will get you hooked up with a tank while here. PM me your address and I'll take care of it.

Anything for you, Billie?

Posted by: b_reed23

ooh, ooh, ooh!! I want a tank too!! Do they have green, or pink?? your the best PY!!

Posted by: Devlin

Hey all...just wanted to cruise in here and say those of you that are still in this are doing great. Burner

don't count yourself out of it just yet or I'm going to have to cut you off on pics

I'm just observing this friendly comp, but sitting here I'm thinking I need to pick up a few things and send them off to Arch for the winner. I may not be in the comp, but I feel I should toss something in for all the hard work, a "great job" just doesn't seem enough. You know, it almost doesn't seem fair, you all should get something for working so hard.

Posted by: Burner02

good morning!

Posted by: b_reed23

will post stats this Friday..thought I'd skip a week to see what happens

Posted by: Burner02

what happens???? U are leaning out so much...you are flying out of your clothes!

Posted by: b_reed23

I think I just hit the water too hard...

Posted by: Burner02

either way....the view must have been spectacular.....

Posted by: Pylon

OK, back from the road. Well, I've been back a couple of days...

I've hit a bump in the road, led by a couple of things. First, I somehow managed to come back 5 lbs heavier than when I left. I have no idea how it is possible, given all the work I did. I did increase my intake on Friday, but Saturday I ate pretty light (I spent most of the day on a plane, then made veg soup for dinner.) Not sure what happened, but it really put me back a bit.

The other thing distracting me is work. I interviewed with a consulting firm this week, so there may be changes in my future. The nice thing is I don't need to jump into something that isn't right for me, so I can be choosy. Still, its a heckuva distraction.

Anyway, got to the gym to lift, posting in my journal. Girls, I'll send your swag this week. And I'll try to get my avi changed for you (even if it is only temporary.)

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Well if the consulting job is good for you and if so, I hope you get it!

I SERIOUSLY LIKE THE NEW AVI....YOU SHOULD KEEP IT UP.

Glad you're back.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Billie and Py: When is our last day? August 31st, right?

Posted by: Archangel

Brother Pylon, sorry to hear about the distractions, you'll pull through, I have confidence in ya!!!

Looking good ladies. Remember our chests tend to be made up of fatty tissue so it not uncommon to drop an inch or more there.

You've dropped some fat and leaned out....do the arms look more defined? As in...some of the fat is missing?

And I would just like to make a blanket comment that all three of you lovely ladies are doing a wonderful job since you all began this "competition"

you all are looking noticably better and I can only say keep up the good work, if the final products are anything like what we have now, then look out everyone, you guys will be looking stunning!

Minor correction..Billie and Tammy are in the comp. I'm observing since I've actually been bulking. At this time I'm holding around 122lbs. The beginning of Jan 2006 I was down to 113lbs. I'm planning to start cutting in about 2 weeks and would like to drop atleast 7lbs.

Posted by: Archangel

Congrats you guys, lookin good in here!!!

Of course, with the ladies around here, that's probably more than I deserve.

Posted by: boilermaker

Apparently, you all have been doing very well. Congrats

You are better people than me!!!!! I'm in for the gift bag, if nothing else. Been busy with work (lame), had a strained tendon in my big toe (lame), having surgery for an ingrown toenail next wednesday (kinda lame, but it hurts like a mother stretcher), planted a lot of flowers (lame), ran electricity and water out to my "man house" as the boy calls it (shed) (lame). So, starting this morning, I'm going to try and go to the gym and turn it around. Do you want current stats and pics? Not much has changed except for waistline (41.5") and weight (203"). Both personal bests on the wrong side. I'll slug it out until the end of August, and proudly send a gift pack the the winner since I committed to this at the beginning

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Just checkin in to see what's been happening in here. I"m slackin' Arch, sorry no pics, but I will get those to you either today or tomorrow okay?

Looks like everyone is doing great.

Posted by: b_reed23

I think I will post stats either this week or next...one more month peoples!!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Yep..only one more month!! Let's get rollin'

Rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin'
Keep Rollin, Rollin', Rollin

Posted by: Fitgirl70

OK, why hasn't anyone commented in here yet??????

There are serious updates that need to happen! I know, I need to practice what I preach...but come on, check in!!!

Me: I'm still sitting right at about 119. Not dropping any pounds, but I can tell I'm losing inches. I can also see more of the definition in my arms lately.

Here's a question: I know there's no such way to "spot reduce", but what can I do to help lean out my inner thigh -- actually closer to the inner knee area???

Maybe Arch might have some advice?

C'mon dude, Lift It! Lift it...That's It!
