-1#, -.7% BF

Went from 209# to 208# over the course of a week.

But I also went from 22.1% BF to 21.4% BF. I passed a major exam earlier in the week, and went out for a Memorial Day Barbecue so I decided to "put some stress" on my metabolism in the name of celebrating.

Still got a downward trend going on BOTH metrics, so I'm happy with the results.

Keep on trucking, guys.

I'm ashamed of my neutral progress over the past 7 days. I started off strong and spoiled it. I've had coffee all weekend because I started my new 3rd shift job. This weekend I had Buffalo Wild Wings and ice cream. I hit the gym hard tonight and had a killer chest workout and 25 minutes of cardio. As the OP, I want to apologize to everyone here for being a bad example. I'm commiting myself to cut 2% off my bodyfat by next monday. I have to stay focused one week at a time instead of looking down the road in august. I need some motivation right now guys.

Hey man, it happens. We need to have a cheat meal just to keep our sanity, but did you noticed what happened? The guilt and shame you feel will drive you to push even harder than before. Just don't make a habit of it and you'll be fine. I bet you will think twice before doing that again. Baby steps, you have to learn to crawl before you can run. It's trial and error, there will be mistakes along the way. Keep your eye on the goal, you're OK.

Pwnishor · 05-25-2009, 10:32 PM

yeah about the lipo6 it works great for what i want. i have massive amounts of energy and can feel my self not loosing apatite but losing the want for carbs. Dunno if it supposed to do this but it helps me out. Ill see if this is helping by Saturday giving it a full week. One more thing is this has been the only fat loss supp that doesn't give me jitters or bathroom probs eheh.

Ay man It happens. You can still be a good example to show people how to get back on when they take a step back.

b0bbles · 05-25-2009, 11:32 PM

Update from me:

My diet is working well, I've gone from 237 to 223 in about 2 weeks. Considering my inability to exercise I think I am doing pretty well. I had a cheat day today... pretty dissapointing if you ask me, I had 2 cookies, 1 brownie, like 12 gummie bears, and ribs for dinner. Pretty lame lol.

Back at it tomorrow! Keep up the good work guys/gals.

njdramaking69 · 05-26-2009, 04:04 AM

question: i do full body workout twice a week and finish it off with 20-30min cardio - 15% incline 3mph on the treadmill...so far i've managed to lose a lb or 2 per week *10lbs the past 5 weeks*...but i can't really see much difference in my body...

so my question is...do i have to do cardio 5 times a week in order for it to be effective? doing workout twice a week - is it just being committed half assed to it? If so i would really need to rearrange my life in order to add more sessions...

ShanksForte · 05-26-2009, 04:14 AM

When is our weekly weigh in day?

I will have a new weight and measurements today finally.

As for the Lipo6: I thought it was a big waste of money, personally. A whole lot of caffeine and placebo wrapped up with a $20 price tag. You might as well buy a cup of coffee and eat the change... you'd get the same effect =P

hartaar · 05-26-2009, 05:52 AM

So I was sick all weekend. Food went straight through me and I couldn't eat much. I lost more weight that way than I would like. I'm sure I'm going to spike back up here this week. Hopefully I can keep it off, and didn't lose to much muscle. I managed to make it to the gym Monday to do legs. I skipped it this morning, already feeling guilty, but I needed the sleep. Hoping the stomach settles today and I can start holding real food again, and can pick back up tomorrow with the workouts.

5/19: 220.5
5/26: 215.5

PoRco · 05-26-2009, 06:05 AM

Around 155-160lbs

Gonna buy food/supps today

biggerthanlavar · 05-26-2009, 06:13 AM

hey guys, just a quick update. I don't know if the holiday weekend (here in the states) was a hard for all of you as it was for me but unfortunately, I really let myself go for a couple of days. Food is always tied in with celebrations in my family and I hate that mentality.

Oh well...I didn't do too much damage luckily. I was at 223 last night before bed so I know this morning I should be a lb or two lighter. I'll weigh in again a few days after this salt bloat and water weight subsides. For now, it's time to get back on track.

Thanks to all of you for the motivation. You guys, and the accountability WE OWE EACHOTHER AS WELL AS OURSELVES is what keeps me going.

I was hit hard by memorial weekend and the LA Marathon. I live within the course route and my gym was in the starting point (downtown LA). I was unable to go anywhere.

I'm sure you will rebound and come back stronger.

The workout you are doing is geared more for fat loss. A full body workout does not put enough stress to increase muscle size. You are losing fat evenly around your body that is why your not seeing a change. If you want to really see a change quicker, train each body part weekly and do hiit cardio. Make sure you don't miss your recovery meal/shake after.

train each body part weekly...as in doing splits and working the same muscle group only once per week?
what about the hiit sessions? how many times a week?

the fullbody workout i'm doing is rippetoe's 5x5 starting strength along with some additional workouts.

Hiit 5 or 6 times per week. Yes, each body part weekly. One major one minor, if you do it right believe me you will need the whole week to recover. Besides you will already be using some of those muscles during other excersises. I am not trying to change your workouts but merely making suggestions, maybe you can incorporate with what you are already doing. I am going by what I have experienced and it works. You are hearing it first hand.

wildhalf · 05-26-2009, 08:41 AM

Was going to keep updating day in day out but just cant keep up with it so i will update every other day from now on.....

Training is going well getting the cardio in as much as possible and the weights training every weekday.

This is pretty similar to the approach that im taking in my transformation. Diet is also essential

Diet is absolutely essential! A workout lasts a couple of hours, diet is 24/7. Diet is where most people will fail. You cannot outwork a bad diet.

No u can't that is why i put it before everything.

RUfootballDE · 05-26-2009, 12:05 PM

went from 229 1/2 -> 230 1/2

ate like a pig this weekend, but was still active (running, swimming, playing football), so im not TOO upset, but it does suck. this should be the only gain i see hopefully. my only concern comes next week when im doing orientation at my school for a month. not sure how much access ill have to the weight room, but i should see my cardio go up, but we'll see
