    Sure did! It wasn't pretty. There was a couple of nice pedal suggestions like the Boss CE-2 or Ibanez CS-505, but mainly a bunch of guys covering their mouths with oone hand and pointing and laughing at the guy who suggested possibly using a chorus in front of an amp.

    Most of what I can recall was fun . . . We went to Niagra Falls for the trip. Brazillian steak house (all you can eat meats), casino, and strip club made for a fun evening. I think that between the ten of us we polished off 3 40s of rum and at least 12 beer . . .

    Well thanks man! There were a couple things in there I haven't thought to try yet. Did you have fun at the partay?

    Kind of a continution of 1 and 3:
    Eat before you exercise - don't go for a morning job before a meal of some kind, and don't do a heavy workout on an empty stomach. You're just asking your hungry body to tear apart your muscles for food.

    That's all I've got off the top of my head, hope that helps!

    3. Eat many small meals in a day - This won't help you lose weight faster, but it will help you lose less muscle. You know that starving feeling you get just before lunch? Like your stomach is rumbling, and you're dying to get some food? That's your body in starvation mode. It means that not only are you more likely to overeat, but that your body is more likely to break down your muscle for fuel. By eating littel snacks (with a carb/protein mix) throughout the day (about every hour or so) you will be able to keep yourself from reaching this state. Eat stuff with protein like nuts (unsalted), low fat yogurt, cottage cheese, edamame (soy beans) . . . but also stuff with fiber (fruits/veggies of all sorts).

    2. Change the way you exercise - All aerobic exercise will burn away some muscle. It's a balancing act trying to keep yourself in good aerobic shape while trying to maintain muscle mass. I try to reduce the amount of time spent exercising (don't do more than two hours a day) but ratchet up the intensity of the exersise.

    When jogging for example, sprint for 30 seconds, jog for a minute, sprint for 30 seconds, then jog for a minute, etc. This seems to encourage the muscles to maintain some mass while still getting great aerobic exercise.

    Different types of weight lifting routines are supposed to be good for building mass. I actually try to reduce my muscle mass while increasing my functional strength (that way I'm strong for my weight class), I tend to do fewer, quicker repetitions. If you just want to bulk up do your weight lifting more slowly and with more repetitions. Rather than pushing it up, bringing it down and saying 'One!', take 5 to 10 seconds per bench press.

    Sorry man, I was away at a bachelor party all weekend and didn't see your message until this morning. As to your query - this is a particularly tricky question. Losing weight without muscle is pretty much impossible, but there are a number of little things you can do to reduce the amount of muscle being lost.

    1. After a hard workout there's a window of a couple hours where your body REALLY wants energy. By default your body tries to pull this energy out of your fat and your muscle stores. If you eat something with protein and carbs in it immediately after a workout it will not only help you recover faster, but will keep your body from consuming as much muscle mass. You still lose fat overall, but you're helping your body from going into that post workout catabolic (muscle consuming) state.
