Hey elixir...I LIVE in Columbus, OH. What are the details of your Columbus fight?

Can't help you with the weight loss, really. My high school wrestling days are a l-o-n-g time ago...that, and I refused to play that emaciate-yourself-so-you-can-wrestle-one-class-lower game. Such an asinine thing to do for a growing, high school kid to do!

I dunno man, 7 pounds in under a week?

Lots of lean foods, lots of cardio, if you hit up the weight training make sure you keep the weight low & reps high.

It look me 2 1/2 months to lose 15 pounds...so I don't know if losing that weight is even possible. I was really watching what I ate & going to the gym 3-4 times a week.

any other health buffs out there?

WWM sounds like you're a hard gainer, I'm kinda jealous. If I don't excersize on a regular basis I'll put on weight like crazy.

no carbs, no salt, lotsa running in a sweater and sweat pants....that should do the trick. Not real healthy mind you, but it should work

Hey man do what all the pro boxers do, dump all the water in your body that will take you down like 10-15 pounds I have herd, but yeah there are pills that will bo that for you and then you just rehydrate afterward!

You can try one of the non-ephedra thermogenic weight loss supplements like Xenadrine, Metabolift, etc. They curb your appetite and boost your metabolism. I am not a big fan of these and think they are a little sketchy.....but a lot of people like them. HOWEVER....even though they do not contain ephedra....they use substances that are similar...so BEWARE.

Basically, those thermogenics are loaded w/ herbal sources of caffeine - not much more than an herbal Dexatrim

I use them simply when I want to wake up and don't feel like drinking coffee.
