I think I might end up raising my cals a little bit. I'm not hitting protein every day, and I seem to be losing weight a little faster than I should. Worried I might be losing some muscle too. This morning I weighed in at 208. 3 weeks ago I was 215.5, 2 weeks ago 212.5, last week 209.5. So the scale is moving, which is great, but may be moving too fast. Currently at 1800/day. Think i'll set an upper limit of 1900 or 2k. I'm not going to hit it every day, but just so I can get enough protein in.

Who would have thought us former fat boys would ever be worried about losing too much weight, too fast lol.

Great work man... Do you measure yourself to track fat loss? I found it kind of helps for tracking centimeters lost in certain areas. Some weeks I also drop 4-5 pounds and wonder myself as well...

Haha, yea, thats funny. I do measure like every month. Bb.com is good at reminding you to update every so often. Its nice cuz sometimes pics dont tell the entire story. Especially if you lose weight equally across your body.

That's the truth; just gotta keep chipping away until the mirror reflects something you like.

Raised my cals from 1800 to 1900 per day. Should still lose about a pound a week, protein target is 166g per day. Really going to focus on hitting that number every day. I think i'll go up to 2k per day on gym days, get in some extra protein.

Are you quite sedentary?
I'm not trying to be rude but you're eating approx the same as me and I'm loosing a pound a week.

Not rude at all. I work M-F at a desk, and S-Sun I drive, so im on my ass alot. I do walk around some on the weekends while working, and i go to the gym 3x a week. I was running too, but havent in a couple weeks since my time has been even more limited.

I was losing very quickly so far this month, so I figured I needed to eat a bit more lol.

Ah fair enough.
Good to see you grasp that losing too quickly can have a negative impact.

[Gatorrr]

Great job man, keep up the hard work

Well i was happy to lose, but I wasnt hitting my protein everyday, and I felt a bit weaker in the gym. MY GAINZ!!

But srs, in 2-3 weeks i'll see if i want to raise or lower cals depending on progress in the gym and on the scale

Great job man, keep up the hard work

Thanks man. U too!

[aidenhardcore]

Hey man. Great job!!!!!!!! You seem to really be killing it at the numbers and thats awesome. Keep up the good work. I will to be looking out for the pics too. I wanna see how you look. Im at 221lbs now so Im hoping I can get to your weight soon. Congrats!!!!

[biggoron]

Thanks. I mean as of yesterday i was down 7.5 for the month, which is awesome, but at the weight im at now im afraid its too much.

Keep it up man, you'll be down here in no time

Thanks, and your welcome. 7.5 for the month is great but with that loss now, you could lose muscle like you said. Thats what I'm afraid is happening to me . I wanna lose fat but not muscle. So thats why Im really focusing on weight training as much as I can and going hardcore on it.

Exactly. Upped my cals, and today went overboard and had almost 200g of protein. Lol. But extra is better than not enough lol

Yeah better having more then you should then nothing having enough.

How are you getting 1,800 to 2,000k calories a day in food? I know that might sounds dumb but Im only eating about 1,630 a day and I think its really hard just getting to that. I wanna get to 1,800 a day but I feel like I would have to stuff my face in food. Im not hungry at 1630 so Idk how Im gonna get more in me you know?

You drinking shakes? I drink at least 2 scoops of protein per day. My proteins are between 130-200cals per scoop. Theres an easy ~300cals right there

You know what, I am not. I have a big tub of this amazing vanilla flavor but just haven't taken it in awhile. The reason is cause I have protein with every meal mostly and I feel like if I have a shake, that will give me even more protein. But like i said in the early post, I rather have more then not enough so I guess I should have some. If I did that I could easily get to 1,800. I haven't really thought about it cause its buried away somewhere in the kitchen but I'll have to take it out and have some. Thanks for reminding me dude!!!! My mind doesn't work well lol. When do you take it? Before or after your workout? Thanks again

I used to take it after my workout, but timing is bs. You can take it whenever. Ive been taking it after dinner, before i goto the gym.
