Quads: 19
Calves: 12 1/2

Quads: 19.25 (bigger? YES!

)
Calves: 12 3/4 (got bigger?)
Biceps: 10 3/4 (aren't these supposed to NOT get smaller??)

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?

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.

Archangel · 07-21-2006, 04:59 PM

Congrats you guys, lookin good in here!!!

I think he was calling me a big girl for my lack of w/out or progress.

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

boilermaker · 07-28-2006, 11:23 PM

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

Fitgirl70 · 07-31-2006, 08:40 AM

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.

b_reed23 · 07-31-2006, 11:03 AM

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

Fitgirl70 · 07-31-2006, 11:17 AM

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

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

Fitgirl70 · 08-07-2006, 12:21 PM

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?

Pylon · 08-07-2006, 12:25 PM

I can tell you I haven't done jack (for a few reasons.) If I can end the comp in no worse shape than I started, I'll be doing OK. Seriously.

Fitgirl70 · 08-07-2006, 12:58 PM

I'm sure you'll end up better. Anytime you do something differently you end up better.

Don't sell yourself short honey!!!

I would like to lay bets on this thing myself -- my bets on Billie

b_reed23 · 08-07-2006, 01:01 PM

I'm doing good...sitting at 126, but, like fitty, I notice jeans are loose, and arms/calves are toning up...I will post full stats this Thursday, since that is the day I have weight in/blood work for the walking team

Fitty...here is a good one to do on the lower cables....

Fitgirl70 · 08-08-2006, 07:35 AM

Interesting stuff Dev! I don't know about it though...maybe someone can throw that in as a prize for the winner??? LOL Just kidding!

Billie -- maybe you and I will split the prize? Oh wait...don't we have Pylon to contend with???
