    The Drop Zone is Nearing!!!!!

    Since there are several of us that are closing in or are already in what I call the Drop Zone"weeks 4, 3, 2,". I think that it is only appropriate to post what we use to kill those hunger and phsycological pains.

    For me when I enter the "Drop Zone" I start to think I'm not lean enough and that I 1) either eat less or 2) do more cardio. This type of thinking often haunts me because I end up F***cking up and do too much cardio and eating to little. Now I ask another BB, or the guy who helps me to take a look and see how I'm doing. To kill the hunger pains I freeze crystal light and eat them like popsicles, one after the other. I have also frozen diet root bear and diet orange drinks and ate those like Ice pops. If your still using protien powder during this time I would only mix a little water with it and stir it up and eat it like pudding. You can also add cinninnmon to it to spice the taste. Anyway enough from me lets her what helps other BB use too keep themselves in check.

    I do the same popsicle trick tangerine-grapefruit is my favorite...i still have my protei drinks with a bit of flaxseed oil so that thickenss it a bit...sometimes if i am really starving and craving i will put a teaspoon of Light Jam into my cottage cheese and pretend it's cheese cake....ohhhhhhhhhh cheese cake...anyway...i am constantly looking into the mirro thinking i will never be ready, and as most of us when i panic, i reduce my calories and endup burning more muscle then fat and looking even more like shit...so this time around i am relaying on other peoples opinions and if they say I am looking good then I am looking good, I must say it’s one of the hardest things to do, is to keep believing in yourself when you get this close…

    What kind of calories are you guys taking in during the last
    4 weeks or so? I tend to ramp up a bit. First my current scale weight is 185#. I'm eating right now 2600 to 2700 calories a day.
    Counting in the flax oil. My cardio is 5 morning for 30 minutes at #4 speed. Then some time during the weekend I'll do a bit more.
    OK lets just call it 7 days a week for 30 minutes. I eat animal crackers as my night time snack. Up to a few weeks out. Then I just do my best not to overly cheat. I find some cheating keeps me from getting to goofy and becoming a prick to others.
    Tell me what your stacts are and your intake of calories.
    O'yea I also enjoy some low fat mint choc chip icecream. Again it keeps me sane.
    good luck,

    Well I am kinda like the Dr. and mike i think i look like shit do more cardio, cut more carbs etc.. you know the drill, but what i try to to is picture how i want to look on stage. That keeps me focus and out of the junk food. I am eating about 2000-2600 cals per day, carbs go between 40-120g per day with one day around 300g, protien is always between 300-400g ED, and fat is coming from flax oil right now and whatever i get in the meat i eat. 6l of water per day. Cardio is 45-60min. in AM then after night workout 30 min. again. Only day i do none is on leg day. Have come down 40lbs since Jan 7.

    kdt primo is going to come kill you.. I would not tease her like that. Anyway my calories right now are 4100 over 9 meals spaced 2 hours apart. I'm eating around 400 grams protien, around the same in carbs and 60 grams in fat. I don't get to eat animal crackers and ice cream though, I only dream of it. My scale weight can flucuate anywhere from 245-250 depending on the time of day I weigh myself. my BF is in the vincinity of 8 to 9 percent right now.

    anyway primo stick in there girl... bet your looking good about now.

    My weight is down to about 182 lbs, 3 weeks out, got omake middleweight at 176 lbs or i am as good as dead, i usually gain about 12 pounds from carbing up and loose about 10 lbs by droping my waterso net gain is about 2-4 pounds, so i really got to get down to about 170-172 pounds to be on the safe side, time to add some more cardio after the workouts. So my calories are down to about 1800-2000 cal. a day, i increase it to 2700 cal on saturday and 2400 calories on sunday and then back to low carbs...on weekdays protein at 300gm carbs at 110 most of them first thing in the morning (45 gm) and after work out about (45 gm) and the rest 20 gm of carbs throught out the day....

    Hey primo keep going just like Dr.Derek said, you must be looking real good about now...and to all you guys GOOD LUCK AT YOUR SHOWS...i am going to get me some...food after...

    Hey I'm not into carb bashing. From my experience I loose to much muscle if I dont keep my carb intake up. I hate losing muscle. This is my total carb intake for the day-1 cup oatmeal- bananna- 2 potato's- 1 1/2 cup wild rice- 1/2 sweet potato- 3 cups peas 2 cups corn- and celltech after workout. hummmm am I forgeting anything, this is the way I've done it for years. I tried to drop my carbs one time and fucking freaked out. Anyway maybe now that I'm here to stay. you guys can teach an old dog new tricks. I will have to post an updated photo soon, I woke up last nights and saw a vein running across my glute. when I got up to go to the gym it was gone-shit where did it go. I wish they had shows at midnight, thats when I look the best-get up to take a piss and end up in the bathroom for a half an hour hitting most musculars, veins popping out all over-go back to bed get up in the morning and they are all gone. shit...............sorry to bore you guys I'm starting to lose it now-----
