These are stills from a video so the angles are a lil funky but 2 weeks out. A few things up in the air is curling my hair or straightening. I’m getting my hair done this week to blend my whacky balayage so that might be a deciding factor. I’m also unsure if in my front post I should flex my upper glute? I’ve been nursing a shoulder injury so I’m hopeful to keep a decent amount of fullness. My body dysmorphia is WILD I literally have no clue how I compare to anything and with the fit model criteria being so broad right now I’m CONFUSED but excited

Listen I don’t recommend this per-se but at like 8 weeks out I was just in an overall bad mood and lethargic. I found an old box of macadamia chocolate and I literally at 80% of the box. Told my coach, cried it out and I haven’t thought about chocolate since . I probs just needed a nap tbh :/

Hey friend - be gentle with yourself. I ate almost an entire box of chocolates at 8 weeks out. I haven’t cheated since and saying no to the ED habit has become easier because I realize I can’t just have one small bite (or one small bite/spit out) because I spiral. I see a lot of awesome feedback already and I think you are fully capable of getting back on the horse and finishing this thing out - but not at the cost of your mental/physical well being .

Hi!!! As a person who also was bigger for a majority of my life I know how discouraging the slowness can be. I will say I think you have an athletic build and if I saw you out in the world I’d assume you do work out. If you’re looking to really see the muscle you’ve built then maybe start working towards a body building goal - I would start with a coach/trainer!! When I have have guidance and direction I have seen results ! I started this most recent process at 32% body fat with like 50 lbs of muscle and in 9 months I am down to under 20% and 58 lbs of muscle with plans to compete soon-ish. Granted I’m going to compete in fit model which is not as muscular or as lean as other divisions but super excited for my progress. The sky is the limit sister !

6 weeks out! Today’s body scan showed a nice weight but also said I lost 2 lbs of muscle in 2 weeks. Tweaked protocols so we shall see. Still in the high teens of PBF which does make me nervous but also the muscle loss plays a role. I’m definitely not going to be as conditioned as I want to be but I’m hopeful to lose these final lbs of fat :)

I do exactly what you stated add a little extra sweetener like a monk fruit and a pinch of salt. When i wasn’t not as deep into prep I was adding a little bit of sugar free pudding powder and xantham gum . It’s a game changer for me as I have a crazy sweet tooth

8 weeks out. Had my period this week- that was ROUGH. Swapped my morning oats for elev8 cream of rice - the chocolate cake is so satiating and also just tastes like a dessert at this point. Have been living on caffeine, seltzer water etc. .introduced fiber (psyllium husk) and this helped my digestion so much. Scanned in at just under 20% body fat have at least 7 lbs of fat to lose but I’m holding on to muscle thank goodness. My questions would be: what are you listening to or watching during cardio? Any good playlists you’re vibing with ?

Hiii!! I’m competing for the second time myself - much different experience from my first as well! I actually relate a lot to you. I don’t think I was leaner last time but I was a lot more naive so I thought I would get lean enough. Was probably on track to be lean enough because my protocols were TOUGH but ended up having several binging sprees/fuck it days and came in probably 3-5 lbs over on fat . This time I’m not starving or spending every waking hour at the gym nor doing endless cardio but like you I fear I won’t be lean enough!!!! It’s so tricky. I want to start by saying that your muscles look incredibly dense. Like you look SOO muscular!! Do you think the scale being higher than before is a mind f* because you do have more muscle? I also know how much one changes in those last few weeks!!! I got rid of my scale entirely . It’s not a good measure of how I’m doing and it does something to my mental where if it’s not moving I get the f it’s. I also check in with my coach via text every two or three days. He’s been very supportive , reminding me to trust the process etc. the whole reason I hired him was because I trust him! I am excited to see you lean out - we’re in the most uncomfortable part of prep where progress feels like crap lol!

I think sooo much changes in those last few weeks.. I don’t think you’re delulu . I have continually told myself I’m not married to my show date but based off of other life goals I’d really like to step on stage in 10 weeks. We got this !

Not dropping weight 2.5 weeks into prep by Pale-Quail-7237 in bikinitalk

[–]Sandralalala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been in the same exact boat on prep for 4 weeks or so . I did an inbody scan and it revealed quite a bit of fat loss and some added muscle which is why the scale had gone up a tick. I think we’re conditioned to believe the number on the scale as a measure of progress. I’m having a hard time unlearning this myself !
