I'm aware of that - obviously, I won't follow it to the T. Just make some adjustments using hers as a guide.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, Roony! I took it over to my own.

Ok - great job, I was just worried you were going to follow it to a 'T'

Sorry Roony

You seem to be doing the same thing I am....I linger around 125 and can't get below 123. You seem to be lingering around 121. Pain in the ars!!!

You've made some great progress. Even when you do cheat, you jump right back on and within a couple days you're good to go again. Great job!

So....I've been wondering, what exactly is cous cous? lol

Hey SG...no kidding about not being able to break through that magic number! I'm not sure what to do just yet, but I may be eliminating wheat and soy soon in addition to dairy which I already have.

Cous cous is whole wheat pasta technically, but looks like brown rice. I buy it pre-made at Trader Joes, but you can get packages of it raw usually in the ethnic food section of a regular grocery store.

Back from a weekend of socializing in NYC....lesson learned: I cannot consume the same amount of alcohol at a lower bodyfat than I used to be able to. I was "taken home" from the party which I can't even remember since I seem to have blacked out for a few hours at the end. Argh, pretty embarrassing, but this will make it easier to stay on course in the future and not be tempted to party it up so much.

I sure wish I knew you were going to be in NY. I would've taken a break from packing my boxes. I would've loved to meet you. Where did you go? Too bad you blacked out. I'm noticing that since I've started working out and eating like I have common sense, my freaking tolerance is non existant. Shit, I almost blacked out myself on Saturday, all I had was 2 rum and juice(snatched up my son's). Both of us went to bed at 9pm on a Saturday!!!! Pathetic. Do let me know next time you in NYC or near Jersey City, I'll come hang.

Necia, I'll definitely let you know next time I'm in NYC. It would be cool to meet up and hang. I ended up in the midtown area this time - dinner at Diwan and then we went out to Tonic. Started off as a fun night, but I should have kept to my limits better...as they say, live and learn!

Good luck with the move, girl. Can't wait to see your logs again!

Hi girl..thanks for checking in! I loved your photos from your fab birthday weekend.

The sticky fat is still there at 14-ish % body fat although it has gone down quite a bit. I have used up 4 bottles of YES and am taking a break at the moment. I'm actually going off program for 2 weeks from Oct 3rd to Oct 16th since my parents are visiting and I don't see them much or get to eat my mom's cooking. I'll get back after that full-force with supplements etc.

I'll rethink some strategies as well in mid-October. For now, I'm already thinking of eliminating wheat and soy in addition to dairy since I hear these cater to estrogenic fat. I may also just go with the standard 40/30/30 plan since it seems like most folks have had success with this.

Hey Rooney....14 % is great! Just keep it up and you will be where you want to be. Most people would kill to be 14 %.
You are right about the soy and dairy. I didnt know wheat did the same thing. But I have heard it is not good for your cortisol levels. And a lot of people are allergic to those things. Inclding myself with eggs and soy. Shit..I had no clue. Was eating it all the time. And when you look at labels...soy is in EVERYTHING! URGH!
Glad to hear your doing well. Have fun on your family trip!!
