Disappointed Not Discourage

I did a 12 week contest of fat to muscle hosted by zidiet vpx nutrition. It was teams of three one guy in my team the heaviest 33% body fat only lost 15 lbs. Long story short WE AINT WINNING! I won't point anymore fingers but towards myself. I went from 265lbs 25% body fat down to 238 lbs 19.6% If you do the calculation some of that was muscle lost too(not good). I did cardio and watched my diet but YES before you comment I could of been more strict! 19.6% is still WAY to HIGH. So 2007 is clean eating and cardio in morning separate from my weight training in the evening. I started hard right away because I want to look decent for the Arnold Classic in March heard it was alot of fun. I hooked up with some bodybuilding trainers and some competitors that just got their pro card. My goal is 12% by april and finishing the year out at 8%

I have always wanted to get involved in one of the body change type contests, where did you come upon this?

I'm in a dieting/fitness contest as well. It's called "Life". I choose to maintain a high level of fitness including dieting so I can do the things that I enjoy. I take a proactive approach to my program because if it's to be, it's up to me.

Good luck to you Bangstun!

I followed a few of your youtube posts. You had some good progress but like you said I think you could have achieved more being more strict. Stick around here and read some you may learn a thing or two. I got into the diet forums and went from 270 20% to 225 11% in about 12 weeks one year ago. It just matters how much you apply yourself.
