Ok, sign me up for "best before and after." I'm trying to get ultra lean/low body fat % prior to WMC (particularly on the abs). I'll get a "before" pic in a little bit.

In the spirit of sportsmanship, give me some tips. Should I fast? Eat little, or eat a lot of low fat stuff? I'm gonna be running/weight lifting daily, but should I do anything in particular?

We starting right away?

Your workout regiment destorys mine. I like to work out, but I simply dont have that amount of time to dedicate.

Still will enter for a bit of motivation

Yep, starting straight away.

The best way to lose weight is to exercise in the morning before you eat.

The scientific basis is that with an empty tummy the only way you are going to get energy is to burn fat.

So if you were to do 40 minutes every morning and then follow that up with some wheat biscuits and milk (no sugar) or Special K cereal (no sugar), you will drop weight really really fast.

You can jog, ride a bike, jump on a cross trainer, it doesn't matter.

Do you visit a gym?

Im not gonna type up my week of working out, what a pain

and id eat lightly, 70/30 protein carb split and do abs daily to bulk, then taper into a 3 day fast starting the 25th .

my little recipe was 3 days a week run a hilly 3.5 mile course to the gym, and work out 2 hours, and then run back. Eating about 1200 calories a day. Was losing a lb a day after that.
