heeheehee...don't take it personally B Fold...my husband told me for YEARS what I "discovered" here on Elite.........I just didn't listen to him for some reason although he is a very gifted and intelligent person and obviously knows a lot about nutrition/excercise (check out his pic on the member forum )

Good luck this weekend Night Fly - take pics and let us know how it goes!!

NO offense to you, VDL...but it's not that I don't listen to him....I listen to him a lot because I KNOW his advice is good... There was no need for him to take it personally...because I didnt' mean it that way.

Thank you for the good luck! I am going to need every ounce of it I can get.

I know that I have 20 lbs to loose...but if I dont' loose exactly that much...I will be okay with that. I am not going to obsess over the scales...I am going to go by how I feel, look in the mirror, and how my clothes fit. 20 lbs is just an estimate.

Kick butt & have FUN this weekend!

WOOOO HOOO! GREAT dieting philosophy! Personally I don't know my bodyfat % & don't WANT to know! I'd rather go by look & feel too.

I know what my sister (VDL) means that sometimes you just need to figure things out for yourself. It's not that you don't listen to what you are told - but, well, discovering it for yourself & making that journey to discovery makes you really COMPREHEND the info in a way that can't be replaced. If that makes any sense...

Night Fly, I'm the same way with variety! It was easier for me to have a 'spreadsheet' to stick to & just plan --- & stick to the plan! Here is my diet:

I had the 'alternates' in case I forgot to bring something to work or was out of something. That way that scenario was not an excuse to totally eat crap!

As for P/C/F ratios - I use fitday.com. It is wrong on some things - but I just double check it & then type in 'custom foods' for things it's wrong on.

Could have swore that someone I know spent lots of time putting together tons of information for you about this very subject a few weeks ago....

Always remember young skywalker...when you share information with someone they are under no obligation to use it. You cant take it personally...even if it is someone you love. Do you remember how you resisted my ideas when I first tried to help you with your training...even told me I was crazy. But you talked to OTHER people....tried different things..and found what worked for you...it just happened to be what I had recommened.

If Flygirl is successful...it doesnt matter where her inspiration comes from. And if she doesnt heed your advice...it is no reflection on you....people have to find their own way. And if you care for them(which I know you do)....as long as they are successful and happy...it doesnt matter how they got there.

My yoda like advice....support her even if she follows someone elses "plan". In the course of trial and error she will find what works for her. REMEMBER...you didnt stick to my EXACT advice even when you decided that you agreed with me. If I would have gotten offened...I wouldnt have been able to further help you.

Flygirl.....your mind should NOT be on diet right now. Got the contest to Kick Ass at. After that then you can get the diet in order. Dont lose focus dear....
