Veteran 250  | Subject: RE: Team "Get Ripped" - Need People! I still have some work to do, but I have at least achieved a portion of my goal. Here are the pictures (excuse the acne, I am still technically a junior):  My abs are finally showing.  There's a picture of my upper body. I am really sick of that belly fat, and the remnants of the man boobs. Oh well, more work to be done! At around 5'8", there's not that much space for fat to hide, so I think the majority of the fat that I will lose will be those two trouble areas and my thighs. |

Expert 1773   San Gabriel Valley, California | Subject: RE: Team "Get Ripped" - Need People! I did weigh in yesterday at 141.9 which is wonderful, I am ecstatic, and am dancing in the streets. The problem is that I don't believe it. That is too big of a drop since Wednesday so I was probably dehydrated or something. I didn't weigh myself this morning before my coffee/breakfast and so will need to do it tomorrow. If the scale still shows me down by that much, I will use the number, otherwise... I am not sure. The body fat percentage was still mid-30's and I am not sure I believe that either. A poster above said something about going to GNC to get calipers. I didn't know they carried them. Can you use them on yourself accurately? If so, I will get some today just to get some confirmation as to how accurate my home bf scale is or is not. Thanks. |

| Veteran 152 Brownstown, MI | Subject: RE: Team "Get Ripped" - Need People! I purchased some electronic BF calipers from power-systems.com last night, i'm waiting for them to arrive. I think the scale is lying a bit and my BF is probably in fact a slight bit lower, we'll see when they arrive though  I will let you know how they work. |

| Regular 99 Augusta, Georgia | Subject: RE: Team "Get Ripped" - Need People! Can I join y'all now? I know its a project already in motion for you all! but, i'm 5'10, 155lbs...bf hovering between 19-20% (depending on my level of dehydration). i'm training for long course races (HIM, IM, and 26.2) for the fall, but my real goal is to lose body fat and gain muscle to get back to my short course speediness from high school and college. I'd really like to get my bf around 15%... |

| Expert 1123 Falls Church, VA | Subject: RE: Team "Get Ripped" - Need People! Well life has taken priority to body comp/fitness goals for now. I just went on vacation, so I wasn't too concerned with losing any weight, but I did get in a few workouts (and mountain biking in breckenridge!) and now that I'm back I'm having to deal with some issues with getting my condo remodled and don't have the time for workouts. I'll probably just participate in part two since I think I'm going to wait until September to try and lose anything since I haven't lifted in 2-3 weeks and last time I tried to lose weight after that kind of a layoff from lifting, I lost all sorts of strength since it's very hard to regain any while on reduced calories. At least my weight is the same though, so I didn't gain anything while on vacation. |

| Extreme Veteran 371 Jakarta Selatan, Unknown | Subject: RE: Team "Get Ripped" - Need People! I have been receiving PM on how to calculate calories and choosing what food to eat to be lean. I have posted an article on how to set a diet, you can see it here http://blog.bodybuilding.com/otongki/2009/08/05/you-are-what-you-eat-easy-way-to-measure-your-daily-intake/ Just a question, how many here have food scale in their kitchen cabinet? |

| Member 20 SF Bay Area | Subject: RE: Team "Get Ripped" - Need People! Hey did 2.0 happen yet? I see you guys started a month ago and I would love to jump on board. I started losing weight in 2006 and was well over 40% BF --I lost close to 40lbs, and was down to 27% in March, but also put on 11lbs of muscle. I need to get on a better plan for my next HIM in March - just finished my first HIM a few wks ago. I would love to join the group let me know if its too late! |

| Extreme Veteran 535 Central New York | Subject: RE: Team "Get Ripped" - Need People! I've been MIA from getting ripped for the past week or so--I'm actually up 2 pounds. I'm having some problems with my foot, so I took a little over a week off of running, which is never good for my diet. The less I train the more I eat for some reason. Anyway, I'm trying to turn it around, and am toying with the idea of going Paleo for a month to see how it feels. Does anyone have experience with this? |

| Veteran 152 Brownstown, MI | Subject: RE: Team "Get Ripped" - Need People! How is everyone doing? I'm down to 181.2 which is around 3 lbs down from the start and i'm really beginning to notice some definition changes. I have been slaving away in the gym with strength training rather than focusing on cardio and i have been noticing more results than usual. Let's buckle down and finish this up! We need some great progress this next week, then it's time for V 2.0! -Jono |

| Veteran 351 | Subject: RE: Team "Get Ripped" - Need People! I have a food scale!!! (you didn't ask who *uses* them :-p)
Anyone have tips on dealing with an insatiable (sp?) sweet tooth??? I know you're 'supposed' to start losing the cravings after 2-3 weeks of no sugar, but I don't know if I will ever be able to make it even 1 week without giving in!! |

I know you're 'supposed' to start losing the cravings after 2-3 weeks of no sugar, but I don't know if I will ever be able to make it even 1 week without giving in!! Gum really helps. And I wouldn't do no sugar, just reward yourself with one serving of sweets a day, or save up for something bigger less frequently. |

Eat more fiber and drink plenty of water... You can opt for aspartame for your dessert and coffee/tea. Gum is also helps a lot not just for the sweet tooth, but also with hunger. It's like wanting to pee in the middle of a race, just think of something else Question for you: do you measure your food regularly with the food scale? gymgirlx - 2009-08-11 12:11 AM post pics. later.....

Show everybody your curves! Keep it up! |
