Well, I emailed the guy who's promoting the show. Maybe he can hook me up with someone.

Are you allowed to wear glasses in a competition??? I'm not allowed to wear contacts.

You can wear them if you need to. Can you take them off while on stage? The reflection off them can be distracting IMO. But you do what you gotta do too. (DOn't want to walk off the stage & into the judges ...)

I'm completely blind without my glasses. I couldn't see where the stage would be if I didn't wear them. So I have to wear them.

I've just never seen any figure women wearing glasses. At least Stacey Hylton cut her hair short -- so there's 1 woman with short hair out there.

Damn, I always miss the good threads when I go home.

Jen, I think you should go for it. It's great practice for the next competition. I am definitely routing for you!!! Is it in Wilmington? Oh, another road trip - your only 2 stops away from me. If you do it, there can be at least on EF member there supporting you.

Yeah, it's at Kahunaville, which is right by the train station.....

I looked thru the site I posted (1st post) and was looking at last year's winners, etc....the girls look like they are wearing regular bathing suits, IMO.

I'll definitely post up what I decide to do....

Just in case you missed my point....while 97.8 is optimum in general...its may not be optimum on an individual basis......


Hence the bit about tracking then looking for a dip

But you didn't SAY that. You said when it falls below this set number (97.8) then you need a carb up. You cannot give that set number until you know what her temps are tracking at. You did not say that 97.8 is optimal for the general pop - but she needs to find her normal. You just gave a set number and told her if it falls below this, to carb up.

You might have MEANT that, or implied it, but it did not come out clearly in your wording. You wording was very cut and dry - and easy to misinterpret.

If I had started this thread, and you posted that number - it would have been completely useless to me. As my temp is almost ALWAYS below it.

Not trying to prove you wrong, or question your knowledge. You know I wouldn't do that.

So, basically, track my temps for a while to get an idea of what normal is for me. So, say my normal is 97.8 -- if one day it's 96.8 -- then that's when the carb up would occur??

LOL @ me using "normal" in anything pertaining to me....

 

[Sassy69]

Capture your waking body temp for a week and note if its "that time of the month" or any changes to your general body state and that should give you a feel for what YOUR norms are.

LOL "normal" is relative

what sass said....


track it....it wil fluctuate a little during ovulation(if not on OC) etc...


but you will see a general trend that wont vary more than 0.1 - 0.2 degrees....



when you see a general drop every 4-5 days - then diet manipulations need to happen

 

[Daisy_Girl]

Temp for women NOT on BCP will vary throughout your menstural cycle (as previously mentioned)

General trend ....

During Period - high temps, due to high progesterone
After Period until Ovulation - lower temps, due to high estrogen
After Ov until Period - high temps, due to high progesterone

it is hard to make the general temp call in a week as it depends on where i nyour cycle you are. But you should be able to see trends over the weeks. I would temp every AM upon first waking, before you get out of bed, before you move.

I've been temping every AM for about 7 months now - it is awesome to see.
