Yeah I noticed that my skin wasn't as swollen and tight like I could move and pinch the skin around my tri's. I pinch myself all the time now. I can tell what is water and fat by feel because my trainer was showing me. He was pinching my calf and told me that it was about ready to drop.. and I was asking him how he knew. He said it's a feel it gets. I can't tell that. The skin starts tightening up though. I have also been using the yohimburn lotion. Are you using that stuff yet?

I think I know what your trainer feels...When I pinch myself I can feel small gel like tabs in the area I am pinching...DaHHHHHHHHH!
I can just picture them as small pouches full of fat....kind of like morsels...Yeah...ah ha...chocoalte chip morsels in the process of melting...
I am one imaginary person!
About the Yohimburne and thermodextrin...I ordered them and have arrived to San Antonio Texas..- I live in central Mexico. and did not want to risk loosing the merchandaise at customs...Not a good thing to say about my country, but true...sometimes it happens sometimes it does not.
So I will be going to SAT soon, it may help I will be a bit leaner, and learn patience comes in different ways...this time in a bottle, ja ja ja...
Have to go cook now, BF is having a friend over for lunch.
Will check on you later you hot mama

Yeah I wouldn't count on customs either if I were you!
There are some shady people on both sides of the border.
I know.
Have fun at the luncheon
P.S. NO Chocolate chip talk!!!

Treilin:
Another question...My calories for lowering BF are 1320...because I was 120 lbs. X 11 cals per Lb....So now that I am 116.6...should I lower the cals to 1283?
Dang it! I wish I was that good at picking out winning lotto ticket!

Im saying that in spice mixes..you arent really sure of the minerals that you might be getting.

I would drop all dairy, added spices, salt, artificial sweetners and fruit(I'll get flack for that one) 4 weeks out

S I don't know who would be giving you flack for that, I totally agree with you, that at 4 weeks out all of the above should be cut out.

Just to make things clear, I don't think fruit should be cut from 1s diet unless they're competing and for a short period of time. Ladies fruit isn't bad for you, you just need to know when to have it and which kinds to have.

Splenda and other sweetners like S said are known to increase insulin levels and some girls hold on to water because of it. I know a few that the only thing they changed was removing the splenda and they dropped a few pounds.

Here the thing is that you don't know how your body really reacts to anything on your first go-around. I'd cut out ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that isn't specifically on your diet. If you are going to do a show, do a show! You can always cheat later. But right now keep it as simple as possible so you aren't sitting there the nite of the show going "damn I wonder if that splenda is what's making me look watery..."

THANK you for the added info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe that's what is my problem with water retention right now?? I cut the splenda from my oatmeal as of today. I still have some artificial sweetners in the diet but I'm going to phase them out this week.

Yeah I'm phasing those out too.... Do I have to get rid of mustard... Yeah I know stupid question.
You are just reminding me of the other things I should cut out at the same time.
Crystal Light has been cut, I haven't had ketchup in I don't even remember when, I am cooking up a new batch of meats tonight (ran out after today).... I am not BOILING those.. What I think I'll do... is I have a convection oven I will place the chicken in there and maybe put rosemary or spices in the water (chicken won't even touch them) and cook them that way. What do you think? I'm not actually eating them... just kinda infiusing the aroma.. maybe. Diet pop/drinks will be phased out too.... Just not yet. I'm decreasing them though!
