**Weekend update***
Saturday 11/19/05
Woo HOO!!! I FINALLY broke the 200lb barrier and weighed in Saturday morning at 197lbs and my waist was down another 1/2 inch. So far, I've lost 50 lbs and 9 1/2 inches off of my waist. I'm estimating I have around 47 more lbs to lose and another 9 inches to lose off my waist until I'm in decent contest shape. These are just guesses, but I'm typically pretty close. We'll see how it all works out in the end.. 19 more weeks to go!

Hey Terry, i was just wondering. . . . .is this your first show? Do you normally add this much mass to your frame when bulking? Lost 50lbs and 9 1/2 inches?!! Wow, thats very impressive :DThats over the half way mark of weight loss, its all downhill now to work off that other 47lbs ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png)

The psychological barrier is broke! I'm happy for you Terry… the other 47lbs will be a walk in the parc! (I dont believe this, but i learned this expression in one of my last week english classes ;D so i was anxious to use it)
Hey just for the fun of it… how old were you the last time you were under 200lbs? And what was your last contest weight?
TEAM TERRY 2006 (Can i say this?) ;D

Hello Lux! Thanks again for the interest. To answer your questions, this will be my 2nd contest. The first one I did was the 1988 NPC Teen Ohio on May 7th, 1988. I was 17yrs old(1 month shy of my 18th b-day) and I came in 6th out of 10 competitors. For that show, I dieted 10 weeks and went from 186lbs and a 34" waist down to 143lbs and a 26 3/4" waist. My upper body was fairly lean, but I was still holding water in my legs, so they looked smooth. Hopefully that will be remedied this time. As far as bulking, to be honest, the ONLY reason I was so heavy before all this was due to 11yrs of poor eating habits, plain & simple. I LOVE junk food!!! I NEVER liked eating like a bodybuilder is supposed to & didn't have enough discipline to do what needed to be done. Now that I'm in that "mode", things are back in order. I'd venture to say the farthest I'll EVER allow myself to get from contest shape again will be 25-30lbs at MOST.. More likely I'll stay 20lbs or so out. I figure you can still look fairly good all year round if you don't go much above that. Hope this helps!

And what was your last contest weight? TEAM TERRY 2006 (Can i say this?) ;D Mo A walk in the park? Many walks on the treadmill is more like it.. LOL Glad you got to use your phrase... You did well, my friend! haha Last time I was under 200lbs was in 1994, so I was 24yrs old. I'm 35 now. I had just gotten out of the military and I dieted down to 178lbs for the summer. I actually look leaner in most areas at my current weight than I did back then, though, so I must be doing something right.. At my last contest, I was 143lbs. If I can hit 150lbs and be shredded, I'll be happy with that, even though it doesn't sound like much it should look TOTALLY different and MUCH better. As for "Team Terry 2006", ABSOLUTELY!!!! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Hey Terry, your bodybuilding journey has been an amazing trip! As for lacking the discipline years ago. . . . you sure have made up for it this time! I applaud you for being able to snap away from the junk and redirect you eating habits. Something that i couldn't imagine how hard it has been! I'm going to be very interested to see your comp weight, i think its the size of your legs that make me think you would be a little heavier than expected. But still, to go from the huge guy you once was to being on target for this comp, deserves a lot of respect ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Thanks Lux! Your comments mean a lot.. You're right, it was tough changing the eating habits. I still like that food MUCH better than diet food, but I like the visual results of eating right MUCH better than the taste of junk. Besides, one day a week I eat pretty much whatever I want anyway, so it's not unbearable. It's funny, but the more consistent I am, the less I actually crave the junk. I think it has to be mostly mental... Honestly, I think most people in this game are "mental" in some capacity anyway.... You HAVE to be! LOL As for the competition weight, after the next month or so we should have a pretty good indication what that will be. In my experiences, most people I deal with far OVER estimate how much they should weigh on the stage. Most people can't fathom that if they are 225 or so that they will hit the stage at less than 200lbs b/c they think that's too small. Let me tell you, I've seen guys at 165-175lbs that look absolutely HUGE on stage due to their conditioning & shape. I think weight is a good indicator of progress if you have a significant amount to lose, but I NEVER recommend setting a specific weight in your head unless you are VERY familiar with your body in contest shape. In my opinion, it's far better to be more conditioned & a bit smaller than to try to be a certain weight & take the chance of coming in too smooth. I've seen too many guys compete that have great physiques in the gym but don't get lean enough and end up getting overlooked on the stage. As I've said before, EVENTUALLY, I think I'll fill out to be a decent middleweight competitor(up to 176 1/4), but not for this show. I'm taking things one step at a time and right now, since I KNOW I won't be the biggest, I'd better have my conditioning down or else I'll fall by the wayside. Who knows, I may anyway. This contest is not about placing to me. It's about proving to myself that I can actually get in decent contest shape again, better my last showing, and not embarrass myself in the process. If I can do that, regardless of my placing, I'll have accomplished my goals.... I'll get down now... ha ha ha ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

Thanks Darkman.. I'm still working hard at it..
Update for Thurs, Fri, Sat.... I ate like a normal person. I did cardio for 45min Friday and worked Back & biceps, forearms,& abs as well. Altogether, cheat meals for all 3 days added up to what would normally have been one cheat day, so I should be fine as far as not interfering with my weight loss goals.. I'll weigh in again this Saturday. Sunday I stuck to the normal diet, did 1 hr cardio & hit Delts, Traps, Neck & Calves at night.

In your opinion Terry, which bodypart has the best progression regarding of definition and muscularity? Abs for sure? Chest? Tris? Those are my guest juging by the pics!

Good question, Mo.. It's hard to tell in the pics I have posted currently(I'll be posting new ones in a week or so), but I'd say lately the biggest changes I've seen in my bodyparts(in order) are delts, triceps, calves and abs. The skin on my chest & waist is getting looser due to the bodyfat loss & it's starting to concern me a bit.. I'm hoping it will tighten up as we go along, but everyone's body is different, so we'll just have to see. By the time I hit the stage, I'll have lost anywhere from 93-100lbs. That's a lot of weight to lose and it's hard on the skin. Hopefully I'll have a decent idea of what's going to happen by February or so. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Calves? Dont you already had good muscular and defined calves? Hey Terry, if props are allowed during your routine i think i have an idea for you: Why dont you bring on stage with you a (how can i say this in english…??…Plein-pied) kind of full size picture of you 100 lbs from contest weight? You could come on stage and look at "this guy" and Show him what it is (via bodybuilding poses) to be in shape! People in the attendance could really appreciate where you have been a year before the show… Just an idea ;D ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Yes Mo, my calves were always decent, but now they are getting veiny and I LOVE it! As for your routine idea, it sounds very good.. Probably won't happen until I'm a PRO, though.. Then I can get away with anything... LOL Glad to have you as part of my support TEAM!
