Are you taking any new prescription drugs? Esp birth control products.

It's possible that you're losing muscle---but creating more definition (resting tension with heavier weight), perhaps taking in too many calories that you have less muscle to support.

Even with that, why your stomach is the first to be hit I don't know.

Are you absolutely certain that it's not water retention of any sort? For all of this to suddently happen, something isn't right.

Know what? I think I know the answer now that you mention it I was thinking it was the 7KETO, but I dont recall reading about bloating with that.

I went off the pill in August and just started my first new pack soon after Vegas and finished it this weekend. Though I didn't get my period, this MUST be water retention? I have never exp bloating with the pill before and I have been on for 10 years....My measurements do not indicate much muscle loss or fat gain, so it has to be water?Nevertheless I still hate it

UPDATED MEASUREMENTS

...............Nov18.........Nov26.......Dec9
BW ............168..........165.5........164.5
Chest. ........40..............40............40
Bicep ~
*Unflexed...11 3/4......11 1/4........11
*Flexed .......13............13............12 2/3
Waist .......27 1/4.........27............26 3/4
Hip~
*top .........36 1/2.......35 3/4........35
*butt ..........38...........37 3/4.......37 1/2
*Under..... 37 1/2.........37...........36 1/2
Thigh....... 22 1/4..........22.......... 21 3/4
Calf .........15 1/2........15 1/4........15

Numbers are going down. SlowlyI have only lost a pound but 1/2 inches around each butt area. Which is always good. Losing some bi's though.

I am thinking all the cardio is helping with the fat loss-which is not good. I wonder what my measruements would be without the running?? This plan seem to be working slower than I would like. But for the holiday month its working out really good. So I will continue it thorough Dec, possibly reducing the Saturday refeed to only 6 hours instead of 24....I have a feeling TP's carb cycle will resume in Jan when it will be easy to be a little more strict then.

I gained 3lbs when I started Depo last month. The Pill I CANNOT use or I would gain an EASY 10-15lbs The pill really screws up my hormones.

 

[atherjen]

Les the updated measurments are looking good! slowly coming down, thats how you want to do it!

 

[nikegurl]

one thought...there's a newer pill called yasmin that doesn't cause me to hold water (the others ALL did. i swear i've used at least 7 or 8 different ones)

yasmin has been perfect! (for me at least) you might want to ask your doctor about it.

[Jill]

Id never be complaining if I had your measurments! A 26 inch waist, Id be in heaven!

 

[Dante B.]

Congrats.

 

[atherjen]

Les youve made awesome progress! you should be very proud of yourself, takes much time to finally build that physique we dream of.

 

[Leslie]

Thanks Jill, Dante and Jen
Its really neat to see the progress. I was feelign very bad about weighing 164 because I knew that is how big I was last year. I was afraid I looked that big too.

Next year I hope my ass is even smaller
And whats great about implants is your chest measurements never change

Hey Jill, btw before I started weight training my waist was 24 inches! But all the lifting thickened me up some

 

[naturaltan]

Great work Leslie!! I did not think you looked big at all ... I thought you had it all going on

If you were my girlfriend, I'd specifically request that you did not lose the weight, or size.

But I'm retarded like that.



Now get me my fucking IM droolplate and crash helmet.

I suppose the comment would mean something nice if a non-weetard thought it.

 

[Jill]

Nice avi and new pics!

 

[Stacey]

Leslie I think Your measurements look Great!!!!
I love your new avi!

I really admire you sweetie--keep up the great work!

 

[J'Bo]

Les.
I am just wondering why you want to downsize
Do they like small girls in NPC?
Cause i think you look like a good size in the comp pic.
In my federation they like us twice your size.

 

[shortstuff]

Hey Les- Been watching this and I think you look amazing

Me too! Of course she considers me a retard also!

 

[naturaltan]

hottie avi alert!

 

[Leslie]

Thanks for the compliments guys

J'Bo, I don't necessarily want to downsize everything. I would like to maintain my upper body and tighten my buttocks. Bigger shoulders never hurt anyone either I want the downsizing to really come in on my legs. I am hoping to reduce much size in both my quads and calves. This I feel will balance out my physique even further.

I do not desire these changes because of what any federations are seeking. As I could careless what the NPC wants.These are the changes the will make ME happy. I have no desire to go professional. Figure shows for me are simply a goal and motivation while trying to get to my next level.

Today has been hell so far, as a leaking roof+computer almost set my apt on fire. Thank god my lil doggy barked like crazy at the orange glowing monitor and woke me up before there was a big fire. My monitor is dead Luckily I had a new one on the closet:whew:

On the diet and training side, I am S T A R V I N G today. Its all I can think about. Whats scary is I usually dont feel this way until late Friday.

Well last night was the same as every Friday nite before my Saturday refeed has been. I could not sleep at all.
