Most people (women) seem to be able to get down to 15-16% pretty easily (with clean diet and training). After that point, it can get much harder, but still possible.

Anyone have any suggestions here? I think I need to add more cardio now, but what about diet? Is there anything I could do to help (other than eliminate the occasional sweet and condiments)? Can you look it over and tell me what you think, please? you all!!!

I'm sure someone will suggest carb cycling. Sassy has a few good posts on how to do a 3 day cycle on this. Another alternative is also calorie zig-zaging. I think Jens did some variation of this while she was in competition mode. Your body has probably got used to your current regime, so any way to shake that up, may be what you are looking for right now.

Great going, SG, on reaching the 14% mark and staying there. I'm kind of hovering for a while until I can get all these holiday festivities out of the way before I attempt to go hardcore again.

OK, here it is.....taken this AM after Thanksgiving and cheat meal last night!!!!! lol Looking a little smooth today, maybe later in the week I can post a pic after a low carb day so everything pops a little more.

I have some estrogenic fat on my inner thighs, as you can see, and I'd like to dial my quads, hamstrings and chest in some more and loose a couple more % bf.

Sorry about the background! I was laundering the bed clothes this AM! lol
