I peak for , lose for & taper for our state meet in the month of April.
Since the start of S C season in Oct. I have managed to lose 20 lbs.
Now I'm down to only 1/2 a ton.
I wish I could keep it off during off season!

If you get a chance - watch the movie FatHead . Eat more fat, less carbs (not zero carbs) and you'll notice a difference. If you actually put a little time into looking at your options, there are plenty out there. :) It's worth it.
I watched this. Thanks for suggesting it. It is a good movie, almost a centers around disproving "Super Size Me." I was on a lower cal, diet, watching my fat more than carbs. I did good dropping the first 20 or so pounds, but then leveled off with almost no weight loss in a couple of weeks. I kept the lower calorie diet, and eliminated a great deal of carbs (try to keep my carbs under 75g a day). I lost 7 more pounds the week I started doing this. I am still keeping it up, and I enjoy it. I haven't eliminated carbs, and allow myself to eat SOME foods that are considered "higher fat" and it seems to be working and I feel great. I don't know if I can ever give up carbs completely - I love sandwiches too much.
