~> 3 MONTH SANTA SHRED <~ [Oct 1st - Dec 31st] FAT LOSS CHALLENGE

[FatGymRat]

I was just browsing this site again, and came across this challenge.
This is my first ever post on the site after lurking for quite some time w/out a login.

H: 6' 1"
W: (I will add as soon as I get a higher capacity scale)
Goal: (short term) to be able to weigh myself on my bathroom scale again!
(longer term) to fit into the suits and closet full of clothes stored in boxes in the basement.

Good luck all.

[cBurN]

Goals (IMPORTANT) to get down to 10 - 12 body percent
Anything else you would like to share such as supplements, diet, etc. about 1/4th of Meltdown left

[DopeEfX]

Im down for this.

Pictures (front/back/side): Bodyspace
Goals: I want to be under 20% while still maintaining muscle mass and be around 220lbs.
Nutrition: Palumbo Cut diet
Training: FST-7

[cfh1973]

I'll definitely drop in from time to time. My bulk is going well and I'm not ready to leave it yet. Keep up the great work everyone and for you new guys/gals, listen to the vets in here, they've made leaps and bounds in these last few challenges. Good luck to all.

[wings_unhinged]

LOL @ name of challenge.

I'm glad for this group. I could be 300 lbs. by New Year if I don't get in on this.

Weight
265

Bodyfat% (if you know)
33-35%

Measurements
Don't know.

Pictures (front/back/side)
I will post my most recent pics on my BodySpace.

Goals (IMPORTANT)
I participated in the April-July challenge but gave up in the middle of the Summer and gained back nearly 40 lbs. of fat. These next three months will be not just a period of training, but a change of life as I'm starting a new job and it's very physical and requires a lot of energy. It's for four months. So my goal is to improve in this job, to get in working shape, and to lose 30 lbs. of fat by the end of the challenge. But ultimately I want to get back to the shape I was in a year ago, which was a solid 200 lbs.

Anything else you would like to share such as supplements, diet, etc.
ON (chocolate) protein powder, Xtend, Controlled Labs OT multi, and fish caps is all I use. My diet will consist of clean eating and a lot of water. I don't count calories but maybe down the road, when I hit that next plateau and need to tighten up to reach the next level I will.

Noooooooooo lol, not very good public relations to neg new members..lol. I'm on rep recharge and owe alot of people reps so will make daily rounds and come back to you and do it right this time. Plus I'll enlist some more help in another forum I belong to. You'll be in the green before you know it.

Yes, thanks to all of you that repped me.IDK how it made me red i think its your power.

and although the challenge hasn't started I thought I'd let everyone know that last monday I weighed in at 247 and this morning I weighed in at 239

[SophieM]

I'm in! I'm going on a cruise December 6 (to the Bahamas) and I don't want to look at pictures years from now and regret not being in better shape.

Stats will have to wait until Oct 10-11, hope that's okay. Not a good week to take pictures or measure (TOM) and I'll be out of town next week. Hopefully next week doesn't cause too much damage that will need to be reversed.

Goals
Lose 10-15 lbs (depending on what I weigh in at) by the cruise. I'd like to end up at a lean 115-120 lbs for the cruise.
I also don't want to lose much, if any strength. Since I'm trying to hit 225 lbs on the SLDL by the end of the year, if that starts decreasing, I'll probably stop leaning down. That goal is more important to me than being lean.
Anything else you would like to share such as supplements, diet, etc.
Diet - I'll be going back on the Anabolic Diet starting Oct. 12 and plan on keeping the carb ups cleaner this time. No cookies or candy LOL.
Supplements - I don't have any spare $$ at the moment so I have make my supplements last and will probably use them sooner rather than later since being out of town usually means eating like crap. I have CLA and carnitine as well as 5-HTP. I'm almost out of carnitine though.
Routine - Currently doing and upper/lower split. The week looks like this:
Mon - Lower (quad focus) + HIIT on treadmill
Tues - Upper (mostly BB)
Wed - Lower (ham focus) + 15 mins on 10% incline on treadmill
Thurs - Upper (mostly DB)
Fri - Deadlift day + HIIT on elliptical (working to get my grip back sine I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist so no hooks on this day. I do 10 sets of SLDL to grip failure and plan on increasing the weight used by 5 lbs every week)

[karoline8]

this just may be what I need to get the last 11 lbs off...I'm down 52 lbs over the last 18 months and struggling with this last bit
5'6 ,141 lbs
