I decided to start one here as well as I'm having my doubts about the other BB forum I belong to, plus it's just nice to hang out with those closer to my age and many of my online friends are here now as well. So here goes, starting it from today.
A little background first though. I started seriously bodybuilding in March of 2000. I trained for about a year and a half before I got serious with my diet. I became serious with my diet after meeting Dr. Pain on Abc. I owe 95% of what I know about diet & nutrition to him. I would certainly not have had the success I've had with my diet if it wasn't for his help. So I've been seriously dieting, writing my own diets with DP's help since August of 2001. I started out the beginning of August at 22% body fat. By about 2 weeks into the diet, I dropped down to 19% body fat and then had some photos taken. By Nov of 2001, I dropped down to 16.6% body fat and had more photos taken (amatuer of course). After that I had a few setbacks in my fat burning with the holidays and all and I feel as if I haven't made much progress since then despite my clean diet, but as DP would say, not clean as I am a protein bar junkie, lol. Not anymore though, as you will soon see!
That brings us up to today's entry, July 2, 2002.
Well, I finally got tired of writing my own diets and being stuck at the same body fat, which in itself, I'm not even sure what the heck I'm at! It's been VERY frustrating to say the least! All I know is that the amount of definition I have has looked the same for months (as far as I can tell). Back in March I had hubby measure me (with plastic calipers) and we came out with 15.8%, we remeasured at the end of May and got 19.8%!
And I KNOW that can't be true since I had started fat burners since March, keeping the same strict diet, didn't experience any loss of definition, still got my 6 pack, added to the fact that 19.8% is about what I was last August! Now I KNOW I didn't just gain it all back while I've been dieting to lose (and still have my abs)! Anyway, then he measured me again about a week ago and got 17.7% so who the heck knows!! My body fat readings are all over the friggin' place! So I don't know what I am! Seems like I haven't made any real progress since my November photos. The bottom line is that I feel I've been stagnant in the fat burning department and it was time for a change. I've been at this since August of 2001 and I finally decided to just give someone else a crack at my diet.
So I am now following a diet made specifically for me by Beverly Nutrition. They've got me on a 2000 calorie diet with the goal to lose fat while retaining/gaining lean muscle.
I will post the diet I'm on in a sec. As far as my training goes, I am lifting 3-4 days a week, depending on how I split it up. I have 3 hour long intense speed skating practices twice per week, and I have added more cardio to get this darn fat burning going again. So I usually get in a total of 4-5 days of cardio (including speed skating practices) at a minimum of 20 min sessions. Besides skating for cardio, I use the elliptical trainer and the stationary bike.

female 5'5" 140 lbs, calipered at 17.7% body fat
Meal 1: 1 whole egg + 3 whites, 3 oz. lean beef or turkey, 1/2 cup oatmeal
Meal 2: 2 scoops Beverly Ultra Size, 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream or 1 tbsp flax oil and 12 oz. water OR 5 oz. chicken or turkey breast, 5 strawberries
Meal 3 (usually ends up being post workout): 5 oz. chicken, 4 oz. sweet potato or 1/2 c brown rice or 1 apple, 1 c green veggies or salad with 2 tbsp low cal dressing
Meal 4: Same as meal 2
Meal 5: 6 oz. lean beef, chicken, turkey, fish, or sirloin steak, 2 c green veggies, 2 tsp flax oil
Supplements: glutamine, 3 Beverly Mass aminos with each meal, 3 Beverly Liver tablets with each meal, 2 Beverly Antioxidants after training, and of course my multi-vitamin. I also take extra calcium/magnesium and fish oil tablets (which help my allergies). I also take extra potassium and B vitamins. Geesh, I do take a lot of stuff, huh, lol.
I will be following this until I stop seeing results. My first evaluation (body fat test) of how it is working will be right before I go to Nationals for speed skating so it will end up being a 3 week time frame. During the week I'm at Nationals I won't be able to follow the diet and will have to get back on it when I get back from Nationals. And as far as the skating goes, for those who may find it interesting reading about my competing in speed skating, I am going to create a separate journal for that.

... Is it ok to post here?
but I'll continue when I get back! Thanks sweetie for the compliment!!!!! Made my day!!! 
But darn, that was nice, eating every 2 hours. No wonder I'm starving so much on this Beverly diet, less calories, MUCH longer to go between meals, I'm hating this starving crap! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! It sucks! If this doesn't get me cut, I'm convinced that NOTHING will! I'd better not be starving for nothing, that's all I gotta say. BPB is gonna be putting up with my grouchiness from lack of food pretty soon, it's starting to drive me crazy and it hasn't even been a week yet! 
It's one huge ego crusher, I want to be strong too dammit! BPB keeps telling me to stop worrying about it, this is what happens when you cut and it's not like I'm trying to be a powerlifter or something and that I am strong even if I think I'm not. He tries to make me feel better, how sweet. 
Hehehehehehehehehe. Boy do I feel silly!
