It looks like I've missed a lot of arguing...so now here's what I have to say...especially considering this is MY journal.

I don't remember if I ever mentioned doing a competition... However, once I get into shape and look decent/competitive, sure I wouldn't mind doing a competition. I don't plan on doing a competition until next year or the year after. It all depends on how well I discipline myself.

Just because I mentioned obtaining gear, doesn't mean that I want to do it right away. I know that I must get myself into as good of shape as I can naturally before I decide to use gear. That way, at least I will be able to see the changes by using gear.

So save your breath and stop lecturing me.

I will be checking my bodyfat percentage tonight - so be on the look out for that!

Guess what. I did 6 reps of chest incline press by myself with 45's!!!

good job.

how are you feeling otherwise? any concerns or sides? sounds like all is well.

is this your 3rd week?

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

Or not.

elitist

great set mouse.......now stay with that weight, and keep moving forward! Remember, you got those 6 reps. You did that. Now go for 8!

" If the day ever comes when you are satisfied with your physique, leave this sport."

mousie

I'm feeling pretty good, and I haven't noticed any side effects.

Actually, this is the end of my 3rd week! Only one more week to go!

<8(__)~~~~

mousie

Got my stats for the end of week 3...one more week to go...

Weight: 168.6 lbs
BMI: 29.9
BMR: 6601 kJ, 1578 kcal
Impedance: 462
Body Fat %: 32.3%
Fat Mass: 54.4 lbs
Fat Free Mass: 114.2 lbs
Total Body Water: 83.6 lbs

So it looks like I lost a little more that 1 percent of body fat...lost over 2 lbs of fat...and gained almost 2 lbs of lean mass. =O)

mousie

Well, bad news...

I am starting to notice the side effects... I just noticed in the shower a while ago that my nipples are very tender. In addition, I have started some acne. I thought at first it was because of my period coming soon (if I get it), but now I'm thinking it's because of the Methyl-D.

<8(__)~~~~

elitist

mousie...first, and foremost, calm down. Everything is OK. The acne is expected at the dose your taking, and if its only mild you should even consider yourself lucky! Secondly, tender nipples are nothing to worry about. If you were a guy, and you were using an aromatizing androgen, then yes, you would have good reason for concern. But you're not. I would attribute the sensitivity to your natural monthly hormonal fluctuation(menstruastion) coupled with the abnormal levels of synthetic androgen in your body. You're almost done! Stick with it. It's crunch time.

I haven't stopped, and don't plan on stopping. Well, I actually have to stop since Saturday is my last day of my 4-week cycle. I will then take 4 weeks off, and then begin again. Oh, I weighed in this morning at 163 - I was 165 yesterday!

After noticing side effects - I thought that my body could handle .50 mgs twice a day due to my weight, I decided to drop the dosage back down to .25 mgs twice a day.

Babs, that's okay that you haven't been able to get around to my PM...I'm been very busy myself!

hi mousie - have you had any throat irritation?

"Note to self: dubs do not equal doves"

...one of the best sayings I have seen thus far Nike. makes me smile everytime i see one of your posts.

" If the day ever comes when you are satisfied with your physique, leave this sport."

nikegurl

glad you smiled. my dumbass thought someone was saying "rolling on doves" (b/c doves is a slang for ecstasy) when they were really saying "rolling on dubs"

i made quite the fool of myself.

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

Or not.

PreMier

Ok, I have been following the whole time, but havent said anything. You have been gettin good advice, and I was curious as to how a female would react to methyl-d. But PCT should be counted as ON time. So however many weeks you decide to do PCT, that should be added to the 4 weeks on methyl-d. Time on, usually=time off. I dont think 4 weeks is enough. (thats for men) See if Power Rabbit has anything to say.

hey Premier - I don't think (but please everyone, correct me if I'm wrong) there is any PCT for women.

dude, don't take any offense at that. like you said...'twas funny. hey man, i'll be learning this shit till the day i die, as we all will,so no worries mate.

PreMier...it's a lot less funny (and a lot less embarrasing) than dubs and doves - so don't worry 'bout it.

(laffs) tru tru nike...but I give you credit for coming out and admitting the err of your ways! .....screw it...I'll come clean too....I thought at first it meant: dubs = 20 inch arms, not chromed out wheels as it usually does....this being a bodybuilding forum 'n all...oh well ........there...so now we all feel nice and stupid! We're all equal here!.....good deal!

" If the day ever comes when you are satisfied with your physique, leave this sport."

mousie

No, I have not had any throat irritation - why do you ask? Worried about me getting a raspy voice? I don't think Methyl-D (especially at my dosage) could do that to me! Then again, I better not jinx myself!

Well, tomorrow's my last day of my 4-week cycle on Methyl-D - and I'm kinda sad. Oh well, I'm sure I be able to live for the next 4 weeks until I can do my next cycle. That's a good idea, right? 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off? I guess it's best that I do that so that my body doesn't get used to it!

I weighed in this morning at 163. I was supposed to go get my body fat tested today, but I "got caught up" and I'll have to wait until Saturday or Sunday - probably Sunday.

TrojanMan60563 measured my biceps - left is 13.5 inches and right is 13.75 inches!

Well, I have 4 weeks to plan out my next cycle - ie. how I'm going to do my dosage. Not sure how I want to do this... I went up to .50 mgs for a week this cycle and noticed side effects...so I'm not sure.

Please tell me your thoughts!

Anyone wanna help me with my diet?

MarcusMaximus

what side effects, apart from the tender nipples and the acne? How bad was the acne anyway? is the acne unusual for you? is this all you noticed?

seems to me that you are doing well on your own.

mousie

No, acne wasn't unusual for me. My Methyl-D cycle is over, so all of the sides are going away, and just so you ladies know...I got my period this week (week after using Methyl-D). The acne wasn't bad, but now it's worse because I'm menstruating.

<8(__)~~~~

mousie

2 weeks and 2 days until I can start another Methyl-D cycle...
