I already responded to u in PM if I'm ever that curious u would be the first to know!

I would have believed you... but then you told us all about your canoli eating days!

Lets get back on track here... who else is gonna do the contest?

ouch, that had to hurt

[ArchAngel]

OK, stats are as follows...
BMI 29% Weight 199 Hieght 5'7" Age 47
Forearm 11.5
Bicep 15.25
Calves 14.75
Quads 21
Waist 39
Belly 42.5
Chest 43

My goal is to reduce the fat,(reduce the mid-section) build muscle (increase chest arms and traps). Exercises I'm sure I'll have questions on, as far as diet especially since I've got diabetes and that's going to change what I can and can't eat. Secondary goals are to controle blood sugar and cholseterol...lol







Let me know what else I may need to list or show in order to get this started.

Thanks, Phil

I'm in for this one! I just started with a new coach and I am looking to lose about 10lbs before January first when I start....

drumroll please...

cutting for Max Muscle Naturals 2010!!

My goals for the next three months are that I'm trying to get healthier mentally and emotionally about food and my nutrition. My ways of thinking about food need to change. I've gotten into some pretty not so healthy habits regarding food and I finally decided that I needed help because I was spiraling out of control.

So not only is the weight loss a goal for me, I want to get to the point where my happiness and sense of self worth isn't ruled by the number on the scale or the weight on my body. I sure don't talk about it much, but I'm sure you all know by my constant posts about being terrified of gaining fat and eating obscenely low calories that I have some body image and disordered eating issues that training for figures has helped and hurt in many ways. I enjoy competing but I need to figure out a healthy mental and psychological balance regarding food, training and body image. My new coach will be helping me with those issues as well as getting me on a healthy nutrition plan that doesn't focus on calories and depleting and cheat meals, etc. The first week has been successful and I hope to be more successful as I progress.

I'll get progress pics up soon! Best of luck to everyone!
