Hi Velveteyes,
I for one hope that all goes well and you reach your goal.
For what I saw in your photos, you have a hell of a lot of potential.
Actually, you looked really good, so go for it, I hope you do well....![]()
About me:
Age: 32
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 131lb
Bf: 17-18%.. (when last checked) you be the judge, I'll attach photos
Goal: get down to 12 - 13% by October 17th for our local Body Building and Fitness Show. I will be competing in the figure catagory.
I currently have a coach that designs my meals and workouts and she rocks!
I hit the weights 4 days a week with an Upper Body (Vertical Push/Pull) Lower Body (Hip dominant) Upper Body (Horizontal Push/Pull) Lower Body (Quad dominant) split. I do HIIT (12 sets 20sec:40sec) 2 times a week and steady state cardio for 40min 2 times a week (extreme mountain biking).
Starting Monday August 23rd (8 weeks out from the show), I will be incorporating carb cycling and calorie cycling in my competition diet plan.

No matter who they are, they are always helpful and don't ask for a thing from you. Just help because they like to.
My kids, they are gorgeous, they look just like me....![]()
Seriously though, my daughter is thin and my son is a monster (weighs 20 pounds at 7 months). They look mostly like me everyone says, but my daughter is such a girl....just like her mom (Thank God). He is, well, a boy....'nuff said....

Anyway, any time you need help, I'll do my best, although you definitely have me in knowledge regarding how to maintain a great body. Congratulations....Keep it up....![]()

So, how do you like the carb cycling and calorie cycling? Do you get better results from that than from just the same calorie deficit every day?
Only time will tell if it was time well spent!
Yes, It keeps my body guessing and it gives me something to look forward to (high carb days..oats..yummmm) when I'm battling thru low carb day. Plus it gives me more variety in the foods I can eat, while keeping my body from thinking it's starving.Originally Posted by ncgirl21

Can anyone here help me with posting pics to my gallery. I tried to post them, but it put them in the global gallery. Then when I try to click on someone else's gallary picture to enlarge it, it tells me I have to be a registered user to see it...aren't I already a registered user??![]()
Hey you....
Why are you trying to upload more pictures? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?![]()
Seriously though, I was checking your photos, or had the pleasure of checking your photosto see sizes, but they seem to be Ok. I thought that maybe your other photos were too big and took too much space, but now I am not sure...
Maybe at the time, the server was a little screwy..give it another try...
Have a wonderful day, and thanks for you kind comments in my journal, they do make a difference in my day![]()
