Missin Zack
On the 21st I found out that my roommate, who’s also one of my best friends drown in the river. I’m just glad that before he left I told him I loved him and that he was my favorite roommate (sorry Margie). I had just started dragging him to the gym with me since he moved in my house. He’s the dude in my picture right now. He was probably the best guy I knew. He never said anything bad about his mother, he loved everyone, respected everyone, and stuck to his beliefs and never let people get the best of him. Zack.. you f’ing rock.. I miss you so bad. Now who am I going to call to fix my computer when I can’t figure it out? Who man?? Guess I’m going to have to get back into gaming and stuff… I am still proud of you that you did your best. One of the few people I can trust.. I miss you Zack.. ..
I’m sorry guys.. I don’t know what to do… I guess I just write to get things out there… He was awesome. He actually started dieting and working out when he moved in.. and I think he really enjoyed it.. he made some dam good chicken too.
Pray for his family and friends.. thanks..

Interview: 4 Questions with Tiffany Forni

4 Questions with Tiffany Forni
Tiffany Forni has made an amazing transformation. Her blog states that she is a Fat Girl Turned Fitness Nerd. But there is more to the story then that. From blogging to photo shoots to writing a book…Tiffany is working hard to inspire others…and is a true inspiration for anyone looking to turn their life around. Fat girls and boys alike.
Tiffany was recently chosen as bodybuilding.com’s Transformation of the Year. Congrats!
For more information on Tiffany Forni, please visit her website, Tiffany Forni dot com.
Muscle and Brawn. Tell me about your transformation. How was your life before the change, what inspired you to change, and how does your life differ now?
Tiffany Forni. Life before the change… Well, to be honest I haven’t always been fat. But I was fat for a long time! When I was in high school I played ice hockey and kept in pretty good shape. I definitely wasn’t one of the popular girls, but I had a good group of friends. I have been told that people thought I was a tom boy… But I cleaned up well and still went to dances. I got fat when I went to college. During the fat times I was down on myself about being so big… But I didn’t feel like I was that grotesque of a fat person. I still had friends, but you can tell when people don’t want to be around you because you make them look bad. That REALLY hurt… funny thing is… Those people are asking if I want to go to parties and stuff now.
What inspired me to change… Well, I saw my sister and mom lose weight through a fitness boot camp and figured if they could do it I could. I made the change for myself because I wanted to be healthy. I wanted to be the girl with the body for once… not the fat one.
My life is SO different now. Going shopping is WAY more fun now. I have more than two stores to choose from, and I can actually wear the “cute” clothes! I still feel like a fat girl, but I keep trying to tell myself that I’m not that big anymore. When people look at me it’s hard for me to believe that they are looking because they LIKE what they see and not looking because I’m so disgustingly fat. People seem to be way friendlier to me… However, some girls get all up tight around me. I find that so funny. I used to get so nervous around good looking women. You always think that they’re out there to intimidate you… but I’ve found that they usually are more insecure than the normal looking people. I feel like my family is proud of me for once. I’m still afraid to wear shorts in public but I’m getting over that fear too. I’ve started modeling and writing about my experiences in a book that I will have out within the next year or so. I don’t fear getting into small cars… the downside to that is when I’m with a group of people instead of getting the front seat (to accommodate my formerly huge behind) I get crammed in the back because I’m “small” now. Hehe… oh well. :)
Muscle and Brawn. Tell me about your workouts …what did you do while losing weight, and are your workouts the same now?
Tiffany Forni. My workouts were no walk in the park. Before cardio I lift. I don’t do any of those three pound dumbbells like they show in pictures, I go as heavy as I can with perfect form to failure at the 18th or 20th rep. I listen to my coach and do what he says. I also get in at least a half an hour of cardio in per day… sometimes up to two hours. When it got close to contest time I would do around two hours per day.
My lifting schedule is like this… Leg day, Back and Biceps, Shoulders and Triceps, Chest… two days off.. then repeat.
The workouts haven’t changed for the past 7 months or so. I am still seeing results though. On occasion I change it up a little bit. If I am on vacation I do what I can with the equipment available.
Muscle and Brawn. Now the important question…Tell me about your diet or eating plan. What did you eat during the time you made the fat loss changes, how long was the diet, and what was the hardest part?
Tiffany Forni. My eating plan… wow… well, my diet has changed many times during my transformation. Part of my success is changing it up at every plateau. In general I would eat 4 ounces of lean meat and 3 cups of vegetables for meals. Between meals I would have a protein shake with 35 grams of protein in it. For breakfast it was 6 egg whites and one whole egg with a quarter cup of oatmeal. I was allowed more carbs in the beginning of the diet like brown rice and yams.. but those got taken away eventually… so did the peanut butter… I really do miss peanut butter! I dieted for about a year to lose the whole 100 pounds. The hardest part was resisting temptation. Cookies, cake, brownies… I have a sweet tooth that won’t quit!
Muscle and Brawn. Generally, when you make a dramatic change in lifestyle and physique, someone is there to criticize you, or accuse you of taking shortcuts. I see from a blog post that you’ve received some of these attacks. Tell me about them, and how you handle them?
Tiffany Forni. I would like to thank the people from the (bodybuilding.com) MISC forums for keeping me thoroughly entertained with new rumors and fantastic things that I didn’t even know about myself. I have been accused of everything from liposuction to steroids, and even the occasional nose job post. I will get a few furious emails every week telling me what a terrible person I am for having two “distinctly different” people in my before and after photos. It’s easy for me to send them a link to the timeline of my progress pictures and they will usually send me an apology note. It’s amazing what losing 100 pounds, getting laser eye surgery, a tan, covering yourself in Pam and learning how to pluck your eyebrows can do.
By the way the rumors are fake… But I did get me some big fake boobies! :)
Muscle and Brawn. Thanks Tiffany. Keep us updated on the book.

Temptation
Ooooooh as a fat girl I struggle with this all the time. Temptation. That's a tough nut to crack. Today I'm at work, bored... loooooking around. I see a small package of oreos. I sayto myself..
"Hey Tiff, there are only six little cookies in that bag.. you can eat them."
Then I must stop myself and say "No you will be fat.."
"No you won't there's only six, you'll burn that off in no time"
"But I don't want to be fat.. I don't want to set myself back.."
"FINE.. don't eat them"
"Ok I won't"
"Well FINE!"
"FINE!"
And then I am nolonger tempted.
I know that eating those cookies in the middle of my contest diet won't kill me or make me puff up all big,.... but it sets me back. I know that all of this hard work has paid off and to diet again for my next show I need to be right on it. I don't see the cookies as something I HAVE to have... they are just cookies.. they'll be around when I'm done. I can look forward to different things.. like eating my fancy feast every two hours.. (by fancy feast I mean canned tuna)... I know it's not the most exciting or delicious thing out there.. but the results make it so worth while.
I am not going to have another cheat meal for four weeks. That's a long dang time! I'll have to go through a week in Hawaii with NO CHEATS... what the heck? I can do it. I'll bring my forman grill and my lunchbox to be ready for that week. Those will be some interesting blog posts.
Wish me luck, I may need it!

Shrugs and Laughter Don't Mix

Yeah.. all seemed fine and dandy till my roommate (Margie) made a face that I can't even describe here.. and I laughed. I laughed and managed to mess up my neck. OUCH.. Jeeze. After that I was like.. ok I'm done. I had a great shoulder workout around midnight.. then .. why shrugs.. why.. what the heck.. I never do those.. then oh yeah.. greaaat idea Tiff... bah! I should just concentrate on music and doing what I'm doing and try not to notice any funny facial expressions. ... this has been.. my first.. official.. gym... injury. Nothing some tylenol and food can't fix! :)
