Morning Girl!! Hope you had a good weekend.

Skin does respond slower to fat loss. One thing you can do if you notice the skin is still not tightening up, is start working your abs with weights, the minor added muscle there will help tighten up the skin!

when is you contest?

7 Weeks away...it's not that bad, but it may hurt my marks if it doesn't tighten up a bit. Altho, when I stand very tall with perfect posture, I don't see it..however, it may get worse as my body fat drops??? Damn...you work so hard and then something that's totally out of your control gets in the way...Have to find a way around it. I started breaking Vitamin E caps and rubbing it in every morning..we'll see

Man, I wish I had your problem. ie. body fat dropping quickly, and skin almost not being able to keep up. I'm sure the weighted ab work outs & Vitamin E & good posture will work out great.

Rainy and nasty here, b/c of a tropical storm coming through. No biking.

PS - I replied to your PM. Did you get it?

7 weeks is a lot of time to tighten up, you'll see.

**Jill** · 08-30-2004, 07:12 AM

Actually, I'm pretty sure I saw those...very impressive!! Are you going to compete again soon??

wow, you met Craig Titus eh? that's so cool, was Kelly with him?

**P-funk** · 08-30-2004, 08:26 AM

No she wasn't with him when I met her.

I will probably compete in the spring. Want to put on some more size and now I need to rest my knee and not train legs for 6 weeks so I will have my work cut out for me.

Did you just hurt your knee or is it a nagging injury? Are you getting any ART done in the meantime? Hope it feels better soon!

**P-funk** · 08-30-2004, 08:30 AM

ART?

I partially tore my meniscus.

Active Release Theraphy, it's like deep tissue massage...specific to sports injuries. I hear it works wonders!

Educate me buddy, what is the meniscus???

**P-funk** · 08-30-2004, 08:43 AM

The meniscus is a small little "pillow" type structure which sits ontop of the tibial platuea, preventing the femur and tibia from rubbing together. It is not bound down, rather held very lighty in place by fibers. It tears when you have some sort of compressive force and rotation as the compression between the two bones will "blow it out" or make it rip. Rip it totally and you will be in terrible pain. Rip it partially and you hope that it is getting enough blood supply to repair it self, you hope!! Otherwise you get pain because everytime you extend your knee you are gettign bone rubbing on bone...ouch.

EDIT: nice spelling on me!

OMG, you poor baby! That's awful and sounds painful..your's is a partial right? Take care of that! I hope you get better really really soon so you can get back at those leg workouts! That must make a creepy noise too? When the bone rubs on bone...ew ew ew ew ew

**Jodi** · 08-30-2004, 12:23 PM

Your skin will tighten for sure. Especially when you drop water for the comp so don't worry too much about it

**greekblondechic** · 08-30-2004, 03:39 PM

I used to call P-funk "scary lat spread man"
