I forgot to post yesterday. Somehow I lost 1.2 pounds in 2 days... So I don't expect any major loss for next week while my body evens out.

1/3/2020: 200.8

These are some great goals. It looks like 2019 was successful for most and I hope we all carry it into 2020 and beyond.

The first thing is to start tracking calories. Everything else kind of builds on that. You understand the concept of a calorie deficit, so I won't get into that. It can be hard to eat below...

The year has officially started. Time to record where your weight is and set some goals for the year. Post your Jan 1, 2020 weight here and add any general goals and/or accomplishments you are proud...

Starting weight for 2020: 202.0
Goal weight for 2/28: 190

I kind of unintentionally went to maintenance for the last few weeks. But I am recharged and back on track to where my original goal was for 1/1 before I had a couple whooshes. So I am back to the...

Looks like this week and last week's numbers decided to reverse themselves. I should have been 210 last week and 208 this week. But I think I am retaining some water that I whooshed last week. Things...

I would only advise reverse dieting for coming off of a cut, not for trying to break through a stall. If you are not losing weight at 1500 calories, then you are either not measuring correctly...

I think the question should be less about losing 10% BF, and but more along the lines of going from a high BF down to 15% or lower. If you are at 40% BF, then going to 30% in one cut is pretty...

Made it to 208.2 today. For some reason this week was very strange. By Friday of last week, I was showing 208. Then things fluctuated up and down (even below 208) and back up again. So the scale...

So the day after Thanksgiving was a fluke. That weight came off quickly and I have been steadily going down since. I have adjusted my timeline because I was a week ahead and this week confirms it. So...

Great job John. I remember those days a few years ago when we got below 200. Glad you got there. I am looking at mid January to hopefully get there myself. Hope you keep it up!

Yeah, I meant without flexing, but good to know you have some muscle weight too. One thing I forgot to mention is that it is very common to have constipation when cutting calories. This is especially...

I think you have the right idea with weighing the food for a couple weeks, then dropping calories from there. I don't think all of the calories you drop needs to be carbs though. As long as you get...

Good job everyone. I know a lot of us gained some water weight back so these numbers are really impressive. I have decided to adjust my Jan 1 goal to 202.0 in honor of the upcoming year xD

It was definitely touch and go with Thanksgiving last week. But I managed to make it to 209.6 and am finally below 210 again. I estimate my BF to be about 25% now. I have now adjusted my goals to...

The problem is that with 100 lbs to lose doing a recomp is going to make you worry too much about potential muscle loss and keep you from ever getting down to a body fat level that will show off the...

I would like to verify that when you say you are eating 2400 calories, you mean that is the amount consumed in a day. Not the amount consumed minus the calories burned at the gym. Are you weighing...

Tommy is right. You just have to get down to a decent weight before worrying about muscle. That said, you don't want to lose more than you have to and should continue going to the gym. At some point...

If it gets you to the gym, then just about anything is fine while cutting. I can't say the same for bulking as I am far from an expert on that subject. I would say that your energy could be low if...
