You can freeze your chicken or whatever, and you can take frozen freezer gel packs. On the way back - if you're not able to re-freeze them, toss em, or take them out of your cooler through security....

I DO believe heavy chest work has affected the placement of my implants they are lower and wider

I am back after an off season gain/bulk cycle. It was hard on me mentally to take the fat with the muscle. By the end the only thing that fit me in my closet was my birthday suit! 2 weeks into my...

I know there must be others out there dieting through the holidays...

I've been thinking about this lately too. A friend's mother had it done 10 years ago and loves it. She's a redhead gone white and it looks great. Scarey commitment though...

These "circuit" suppersetters drive me crazy. And they are usually working thier mouths more than anything. I don't think you did anything wrong. If you look around and nobody seems to be using it,...

And a client is much different than a coworker. Those small changes will set her up for success. That feeling will have her wanting more.

I think about other competitors, who are already up doing their cardio without whining about it! I also think about being on stage - if you don't do what you're supposed to do...you're the one up...

This is a tricky one. People at work see your progress, but they have NO idea how much work it is. And a bodybuilding diet isn't necessarily a good plan for an average person. It's important to make...

I ended up having to work most of the day the Friday before, which was a good thing. Because I would have just been antsy, and nervous. I traveled to my second show, so I had Thurs-Sun. But I...

You know you're lean when your boobs look like the implants you held up to your skin trying to picture what you'd look like with them. And boy was I thankful when I got a bit of fat back on...

I'm with you on this one! Diversion is the only thing that works for me. That's actually what I'm doing here, now. I wanted to get the peanutbutter jar out and have my way with it...thinking of a...

She might try an acidophilus supplement too, just to keep some good bacteria around. I was using psyllium fiber during prep, and I swear I must have been full of the stuff from head to toe. I was...

I'm with you! I could eat my weight in sashimi...hmm I wonder what a 130 pound tuna goes for?...:D

Beautiful!

All great suggestions. I'm doing all the right things...

I see some beautiful shoulders on you ladies. Anyone willing to share their shoulder workout routines and secrets?

[quote=stephaniewicked;380075]I always tell people that I have a little fat girl living inside me. They don't believe me, but if I don't keep that bitch in check, she'd ruin my life! ;)

I think silicone is more expensive because they've only recently been approved. I'm 400 and 410 (I think, I'd have to check my file...) saline, under, teardrop, in 2005. They do move when I flex, and...

There was a gal like that where I used to work she'd be on the elliptical for an hour plus watching it. She consistently was about 12% body fat...she eventually became a pastry chef. Go figure?

I'll second that, and nominate myself as well! Who says we're self centered?!

I really appreciate you re-posting the article. Even when you know what to expect, have a plan, and follow your plan, you still struggle inside your head. I weighed in at 114 for my competition &...

I eat 6 meals, 2-2.5 hours apart. I'm eating the same base plan "off season", with a little wiggle room. Today I'll eat a cheat meal with my husband who's dieting down.

My training was amazing, my compliance immaculate. I placed well in my 2 shows for a great first season...

Thank you Krissy! I love your show!:D

Thank you for the feedback. It was hard to think about doing everything at once. But I did have a blast, and I just may be bitten! I'm really happy with my first, and I can't wait to see the DVD...

I laughed at your comment about sore tail bone...I took my yoga mat to work and I lay down in my office at lunch time, but it hurts! I do the same thing with non-food treats, lipstick. I'm hanging in...

I've been to that bird preserve in Kauai, random but true. I love all vegetables...even beets, cooked, raw, pickled.

I'll tell you, the last 2 are getting hard! I forgot what else I was gonna say... :)

It's amazing to do something you never thought you could. The formulas, the structure, and it all works if you just do it. You are accountable only to yourself on contest day. As a first timer, I've...

Started in high school with aerobics, there were legwarmers involved...started lifting seriously about 14 years ago. I'm 39 and I'll be competing for the first time in 15 days. Yes, I'm counting :)

My life is simple by design. I work full time, which sometimes requires travel (that's a challege). We shop/eat the same every week. Food prep happens all at once usually on Sunday. I use my...

I started cleaning out my diet, and my head 20 weeks out, and prep is 16. This is my first contest, but I'm on track and have responded really well.

I'm in, this is a great project. Thanks for the opportunity.

Fancy finding you here! I found out later that the date, was a test. I passed :D. He's right, it's a perfect fit. I actually can't imagine not working out together, it's who we are.

I'm curious about this. I am chewing gum like a crack addict. I know I need to reduce it, it's not calorie neutral (5kcal/stick), plus the phenalenaline (sp?) makes you all gassy. So, eventually I...

Elise,
This is a funny question to ask, but do women put vasaline on their teeth for the stage for an easier smile?

When you bake with it, is it dense like a rice flour, or does it act light similar to a wheat flour?

I'm eating 2.6g per kg of body weight (55kg). It's a high percentage of my macros, my fat is high also, low carbs. I'd say I'm carb "sensative", lol. It's working in terms of steady fat loss, and...

I'm competing in April for my first time, and I've decided to cover mine. I've got a big indigo blue flower on low back. My suit covers a lot of it, which takes it out of context artistically. I've...

How does that relate to those of us who have had uterine ablasion? Pretraining I would have a day or two of light bleeding per month. My body fat is low enough that I haven't had one for a few months.

These ladies drive me crazy at work. If everything they eat has zero points, you'd think they would begin to wonder why they are still fat! Any diet works, as long as there's a calorie defecit, and...

I realized right away that I'd been too literal. I talked about it with my stylist, and since I'm fair and blue eyed (which tend to get red when I'm tired and dehydrated) and her suggestion was green...
