Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

You have had one of the most entertaining training journals on here hands down haha. I say go for it, chop off your locks. I've always been a fan of women with the pixie cut. Looks great on Halle Berry and Keira Knightly, not that they were ever going for don't mess with me. But if you can pull off too sexy to mess with that's the best of both worlds right? More power to ya! Thanks for sharing your journal with all of us on the forum.

Wishing you all the best with your upcoming show. I admire your discipline and commitment; I know you'll do well. I was a pleasure working with you, although it was only for a few weeks. Keep me posted on how things are going with your pre-contest training with your new coach.

Love east coast to west coast...i am assuming a head banger is like a skull crusher.

Yeah i used to call them skull crushers until my trainer told me they were head bangers.

Michelle, thank you so much for all of your help this month! I will be reading your journal as well!

1-2lbs a week is pretty good, in my opinion, and anything higher and you're losing hard earned muscle along with fat. Don't get too caught up in losing a lot right now because you're still a while out from comp.

Yeah I guess so, im on pace to be 125 my June if i keep losing 5 lbs per month. Im just inpatient!! also, isnt it easier to lose weight faster in the beginning of a diet? I worry that the loss will slow and i wont get to 125...

As you get more LBM, you will become a furnace. Add in extra cardio those last few weeks...RIPPED. You're totally on track. I really respect your committment, ....i could never bulk to cut cause i cant handle my clothes being tight and freaking even over this 5 i gained....and in process of losing. I feel like i am cutting and impatient as well. Kudos on the loss so far!

The first couple of weeks yield a lot of water-weight loss so, according to the scale, you'll see big numbers lost. However, once that happens, it's a relatively slow and steady ride but, like divamom said, the more you cut down to LBM, the more you're furnace like you're going to become. If you start going crazy over the scale, see if your trainer will let you take a week or so away from daily weigh-ins and just go by feel - you're going to start looking and feeling lean as hell pretty soon.
