Going into it with a realistic goal will increase your chances of actually staying the course as well. Shoot for 1-2 pounds lost/week, anything more isn't healthy nor sustainable (outside of the...

Week 1 Update:

Posting this early as I am traveling all weekend. Going to be out of the state for a week but should have no issues hitting macros and getting a temporary gym membership (life...

I've seen this a lot and I'm not really sure whats ideal. I know meal frequency and timing doesn't matter, at least in my opinion, but are you saying stick to 3-4 meals a day? Just looking to absorb...

For #4 you just have to decide what is important to you right now. Do you want to drop body fat and realign your way of thinking when it comes to nutrition? Or do you want to cut when it is...

I have never, after leaving the obesity stages, eaten over ~250 grams of carbs in a day outside of a cheat so I am excited to see how my body will react. I will definitely play with the fats a bit....

Officially starting my bulk tomorrow. Here are my Day 0 pictures, taken today. I'm going try to post pictures every Sunday all the way through the end of the cut.

Will check back here on Sunday...

This is going to be trial/error but I feel confident that I will not gain excess fat due to the fact that I am only at a 250 calorie surplus above my maintenance calories.

My current cutting...

I've always been afraid to bulk because a part of me remembers how I felt at nearly 300 pounds 4 years ago, and it's just a subconscious fear that I can't elude. It's apparent that I can keep the...

I lost about 70 of my 90 pounds while deployed to Afghanistan for a year. It is possible, but you have to understand that counting calories is nearly impossible when the food isn't labeled or clearly...

I did the math for you, OP.

1,500 calories consumed for 6 days = 9,000 calories
3,500 calories consumed for 1 day = 12,500 total weekly intake.

(guesstimation on your cheat since you haven't...

I was literally just going to address this, but you beat me to it.

You cheat every Friday. First of all, why? Why not create a more sustainable deficit throughout the week to where you don't feel...

Posted in Losing Fat thread. How do I deplete my body of water in a drastic measure? Wrong forum, you are in.

Can't tell without a picture.

I drove myself crazy over the whole "is it loose skin or fat" thing after losing 90 pounds in 2011/12. I told myself 150% that I had a ton of loose skin, but it was...

Holy titty, I just realized you're SERPENTARIUS! I was used to your old avatar when I first started following your advice in 2011. If you're not listening to this guy, you're dull. He's putting out...

Wait, so subtract 500 calories from your RESTING METABOLIC RATE, don't add in your Lifestyle and Exercise calorie expenditure, and drop your carbs and fat?

Bad advice on YouTube...does that come with a $400 *custom* meal plan??

Look through my early posts on this forum in 2011/12. I constantly asked the same thing as you, "Why am I eating at a deficit and not losing weight?".

The answer: I wasn't in a deficit.

We have...

For sure. No better feeling than being able to work the foods you love into a healthy and sustainable deficit (or maintenance, or bulk, whatever your goal is).

Absolutely not. My greatest reduction in bodyfat came from Intermittent Fasting where I ate 2,500 calories between 3 and 9pm. I would eat my largest meal about 30 minutes before bed.

Remember:...
