For the Challenge

Jane · 05-28-2002, 03:36 PM

This isn't a real journal.

It's more of a little progress-tracking sort of thing that I'm using for the body-changing challenge that ends on July 30th. I'm starting really late, but I hope to make decent progress anyway.

I've just come off a long bulking phase during which I gained about 60 pounds..(From July 2001 to May 2002)...I started at 5'7, 85 pounds and now I'm at 5'7 145 pounds. While my bodyfat did increase from approximately 10-13% to around 20%, I gained a lot of LBM and a ton of strength.

Before July 30th I'd like to bring my bodyfat down as low as I can while maintaining as much muscle as possible. Muscle takes precedence, so if it takes longer than I'd like that's fine.

Miss LeDix she wanted to join the challenge and Twin Peak said it was OK. He is a judge.

You do know that this entire challenge is based on improvement, right? From what I can see you don't stand a chance. You've got no room for improvement, you're already stunning!

Miss LeDix · 05-28-2002, 03:58 PM

Good luck in the challenge!

w8lifter · 05-28-2002, 04:02 PM

Welcome to IM Jane, good to see you here

Jane · 05-28-2002, 04:19 PM

Thanks for everyone's support!

Albob, thats quite nice but I'm afraid you havent given me a chance to post my 'other' pics. Clothes do hide a lot....here is what 20-21% body fat looks like

Jane · 05-28-2002, 04:20 PM

Err, scary face, yah.

sawheet · 05-28-2002, 04:21 PM

I think you look great in the scary hair pic

Robboe · 05-28-2002, 04:53 PM

Hey janey

Robboe · 05-28-2002, 04:55 PM

Are you here to fight for the cause?

Jane · 05-28-2002, 04:56 PM

Thanks sawheet

Hey Robboe! What's up? Damn, why you gotta go find these scary photos? The whole point was for you NOT to see 'em.

edit...ah you add a second post. Yes, I'm here for the cause. I'm also here to kick serious ass in this body changing thingamajig.

Robboe · 05-28-2002, 04:59 PM

Great, ever since ActionMatt got banned i've been a lone ranger.

Now i have a new partner in crime muwhahahaha....

Jane · 05-28-2002, 05:02 PM

*high five*

Now I must leave in order to complete what must be the dumbest assignment in the history of education....not only am I required to design a house based on the principles of Feng Shui, but I get to BUILD it, using cardboard, paper, mini furniture, etc....all for an AP World History class?

It would be quite amusing and ironic if I didn't have to DO the DAMN thing.

Have a nice day.

Twin Peak · 05-28-2002, 05:07 PM

Welcome! So I have a few questions, first, that first pic and the later ones are NOT at the same time right? What is your weight and BF% at each of them? When were they taken?

Second, how in the world did you almost DOUBLE your bodyweight?

Third, how could your BF% be 10-13% if you only weighted 85 pounds??? Wouldn't it be more like 1%?

anyway, welcome and goodluck in the challenge!

Twin Peak · 05-28-2002, 05:09 PM

Just checked out your profile -- nice job!

dvlmn666 · 05-28-2002, 05:10 PM

Good luck in the challenge, but have to say your already great lookin. Looks like your focused and gonna do awesome.

Welcome to the board.

Jane · 05-28-2002, 05:14 PM

Twin peak....Actually all these pictures are from within the last week. The second two are just today, actually. The first was something like last Wednesday. Like I said, clothes cover a lot.

I'm also bloated from my CKD carb up yesterday, so that might have helped. But hey, the worse the before pics, the better the after pics.

I'm 5'7, ~145 pounds, ~20-21% bodyfat.

At 85, I was probably closer to 10%, you're right. Possibly less. I didn't get my bodyfat checked accurately until the early fall, when I was up to 100 and about 12-13%. So I'm estimating 10% for the summertime. At that point I had dabbled in weights but never really discovered bodybuilding...just wanted to lose weight...yes, I was quite stupid. And quite sick. I was hospitalized briefly, but now my goal is to weigh as much as possible while keeping a healthy bodyfat level, which is quite a turnaround.

Gaining weight was pretty tough, yeah, given my mindset at the time. Mainly I ate over maintenance pretty consistently and trained. Just the basics really. If I bulked 'cleaner' I could have avoided some of the fat gain, but after spending over a year living on salad and whatnot, my body rebelled.

Thanks for the support everyone!

sawheet · 05-28-2002, 05:21 PM

It is very possible to be 85 lbs and 10 % or even more BF. You loose mostly muscle with an eating disorder or severe training and calorie resricting. I have seen marathon runners weigh 120lbs with a bf of 25%

Jane · 05-28-2002, 05:29 PM

Yup, you're right Sawheet. At some point I probably just started eating strictly right off my muscle mass....Stupid stupid stupid.
