weigh in: 61.5kgs electronic scales, 60kgs manual scales

Do you do girths (measuring waist, hips, biceps, quads with tape) at your weigh-ins?

Do them, and trust them before you start sweating the scales...otherwise it's a total mindfark!

[biggurl27]

Babe don't worry about your weight, as TFB says its more about your measurements and how you are looking, scales are dumb :nod: Bet you are looking fabulous, don't stress, you are doing everything right :wink:

[Small]

thanks guys.

but fo real, jus been looking at all sorts of resources, contest preps etc farrk i got shit loads of work to do. il b (hopefully) taking and posting pics this weekend.

mind iz the biggest obstacle at this point...

O and the 8ish kgs to looooooseeeee......

[biggurl27]

How many weeks you got now? Why 8kgs, do you have to be under a specific weight category or is that your weight last time? If not you may be a bit heavier this time with more muscle? 5kgs pretty much goes in the last week though aye, piss it out haha sorry I must be tired! D

[poos_n_wees]

Agree with what TFB and Biggurl have said.. stay off the scales! :naughty:

If you must.. weigh once a week :nod: It'll just screw with your mind if you focus on it. Especially with us girls.. water weight fluctuates from day to day, and all the scale tells us is how much we weigh in TOTAL, not how much muscle we have :nod: Go by the mirror, measurements and clothes... and compliments! Remember.. the judges don't care how much you weigh petal

How come you couldn't get to sleep?

For gawdsake don't focus on weight - muscle is heavier than lard and if you start fixating on the scales you'll only freak yourself out. Hell, I do that already - and I'm not competing this year, so I imagine I'll be spinning out like a DVD every second day when I get close to my first comp! :pale:

Eat clean, train to the plan - if you start second-guessing yourself you'll just make things worser...

[Flamer]

Hey Small, if it's any consolation I'm in the same boat. F@%*ing scales still saying 60.9kg!!! What - with all the cardio and training - how is this possible??? But, pants are looser! :? :?

[biggurl27]

Exactly..... your body composition is changing, you are gaining muscle, cms are going and loosing fat. Stay off those freeking scales! Do your measurements and weigh yourself every Friday only and you will see increases in your bi's, quads, calves, back/chest and loosing cms on waist/butt. Weight loss may be minimal but at least you are loosing fat and gaining muscle.

ive got 7weeks and 4 days, um yeah i gues 8kgs is a ball park figure from last time, i was 54.4kgs at last weigh in b4 i dropped the rest of my water and weighed in the day of a comp at 52.6kgs (however the next comp was 49kgs but looked shit, was prolly fatter - uno lost muscle definately from over dieting) so 8kgs is just a figure ive materalised :? i hope i have more muscle - but with the injury and no proper training for a while i thought muscle wastage probly wouldve occured rather.

Oh TFB big whoop I am too, I'm 35 but aint no way I'm competing in O35yrs!

Haha dream of burger king classic! Already trained this morning very cool! I'm still not out the house!

[teamfatboy]

haha classic! And how old is TFB then? Beat not much older than me

If it'd make you feel better... I won't see 46 again :-)

I try not to make a deal of it, but I keep reminding myself I've got gym socks older than Small is :grin:

Impressed to see you've trained already today - well done!

[teamfatboy]

Oh TFB big whoop I am too, I'm 35 but aint no way I'm competing in O35yrs!

Haha dream of burger king classic! Already trained this morning very cool! I'm still not out the house!

Well done - trained before sun-up! Dreamed last night that legs still worked...woke up this morning and it wasn't true :grin:

[poos_n_wees]

OMG its hard enough getting outta bed to go to work, let alone TRAIN. Kudos!

I'm digging the DreamMeter If you were dreaming about Burger King, it must've been a good one... Free upsizes, extra seasoning, extra bacon and cheese and mayo...

[biggurl27]

Filthy, go wash your mouth out with soap! BK is gross and makes you feel like shite and sleepy!

[poos_n_wees]

BK is gross and makes you feel like shite and sleepy!

Blasphemy! BK is my kryptonite.

But yer right.. it does make me sleepy :?

[poos_n_wees]

mum told me "your father and i were talking, saying how we should do what your doing...we can definately sea difference"

Awesome that your parents are behind you 100% :nod:

I come from a culture where big = beautiful, so when I start losing weight, my parents are all like when they see me and bring me lots of foodz.

[Small]

...and now im on nzbb at skool. haha adikt!

yeah trained this morning fasted, not ideal but meh, it feels super knowing i dont hav to go back to gym tonight after school, only go 4 an hour or so cardio round my area.

Filthy, go wash your mouth out with soap! BK is gross and makes you feel like shite and sleepy!

! leave my journel immediately i cant stand these lies!

jokes, stay stay but B.K is yum =P~

I'm digging the DreamMeter If you were dreaming about Burger King, it must've been a good one... Free upsizes, extra seasoning, extra bacon and cheese and mayo...

no my dream aktualy was more like i was in the car with my mum n cousin and my cuz wanted B.K which was nowhere near where we were and it was raining and my cuz demanded it so my poor mum drove in the wet to go get it for her, BUT she did drop me off on the way to walk home in the rain...

i figure dream meter is here to stay theyr getting more and more unusual as time progresses

Awesome that your parents are behind you 100% :nod:

I come from a culture where big = beautiful, so when I start losing weight, my parents are all like when they see me and bring me lots of foodz.

well sorta, mum and dad dont pay for anything for me (last year they didnt even pay for my chicken) so wen u are unemployed it gets hard. they also dont support me wen im fussy and moody :wink: but thats good.

yeah! i no wat u mean - i was glad {recently} ma nana's funeral wasnt a fullblown tangi...i was in the kitchen scoffing all the mini mince pies as quick as mum was cooking them hahaha...(o 3weeks ago...seems like a lifetime ago now..good old mince pies !) so imagine the deal if we had hangis and the works !!!
