Nice! I can really tell a difference in your abs. Keep it up.

**SteR-** · 02-15-2007, 02:33 AM

yup ^ you can definately tell you've lost fat there...

**chris-warrick** · 02-15-2007, 04:00 AM

Good work WARBIRD00. You are getting that six pack. Keep it up.

**SteR-** · 02-15-2007, 07:57 AM

Argh, what do I do?!

I'm nearly 5 weeks into cutting and I'm struggling. I haven't touched any alcohol in this time and my friends are all out this weekend.. God knows I could do with getting drunk! I know I can minimise the damage by having the alcohol as my cheat meal and sticking to straight spirits/diet mixers but I just don't know

Half of me is saying to stay on track and stick it out.

But the other half of me is telling me I'm going to collapse if I keep holding out like this.. plus I'm not training to compete in the Olympia.. just be healthy.

My problem is I'm a perfectionist. At the start of the cut I acknowledged that I would indeed get drunk a few times during my cutting but now I'm here, I just feel like it's a failed cut if I do (which is ridiculous).

Oh what do I do?

**warbird00** · 02-15-2007, 10:49 AM

what do you guys think my bf% is?? im thinking (or hoping) between 11-12. also my back is much leaner than my front. im gonna be getting dipped to test my bf% at the end of my cut.

**AF Pumped** · 02-16-2007, 05:42 AM

Hello everyone! Time for my weekly update. Weight only this week as I only do BF% every two weeks.

Start: 1 Jan 07: 185lbs

Now 16 Feb 97: 175lbs

Only lost a pound this week, so it is a little slow going, but it is kinda of what I am looking for. Hope everyone else is keeping the course! Take care!

One pound is a good loss. Zero can be a good loss if the inches of the beltline keep dropping.

Keep on keeping on. Good job so far...

**ctjacket** · 02-16-2007, 06:11 AM

Just weighed in.

Weight - 237 Down 10.5 lbs in the first 4 weeks! Couldn't be happier

BF - Dropped another .5%

This was another tough week because I had this awful ingrown nail which disabled me from working out for one of the days, but snowboarding all last weekend helped out a lot.

**JaeGee** · 02-16-2007, 08:13 AM

My stats for the week are as follows:

New Stats:
bf%: 15.98% (-.32%)
weight: 225.5 (+.5lbs)
LBM: 189.5 (+1.175lbs)
fat: 36 lbs (-.675 lbs)

neck: 16.5in
chest: 42.6in
bicep:14.25
forearm: 12.75
Stomach: 38.4
Quad:22.5
Calf: 17

Gained weight but lost fat so I am pretty damn happy about that. I wish these were my stats every week

Thanks, that is true, I measured my mid section and lost another 1/4 inch to put me at 33.5. Not bad. Keep up the good work yourself!

**SRLift** · 02-18-2007, 09:45 PM

Today was my first weigh-in in the last 2 weeks since I didn't have access to a scale last weekend. I weighed in at 269.2 lbs this morning, which is down about 6 lbs in the past 2 weeks. Everything is going pretty well so far! Also, I measured my body fat tonight at about 26%, down from 27.5% when I first started the contest(I measured myself using the electronic calipers from bb.com so I'm sure there is a little error.) Hope everyone is still doing well!

**SteR-** · 02-19-2007, 01:53 AM

balls, I weighed myself after another week and my weight still hasn't budged in 2 weeks! This is getting stupid.. I must either be missing calories somewhere (which I doubt) or my body is getting too used to my routine.

I think I'm gonna drop my cals even more and see what happens.. sigh this is so frustrating!

Weekly weigh-in

**synthetic54** · 02-19-2007, 02:53 PM

Weight: 158.2lbs.
Bodyfat: 13.5%.

Think my bodyfat is going to go up. I cheated on The Cut Diet. I ran 12 miles yesterday and had some oatmeal to replenish the glycogen storage. Didn't feel too hungry or fatigued aftwards. However today, after 1 hour of lifting and 30 minutes of cardio today, I was hungry like a beast. I devoured any clean food in sight. I think it was around 800 calories. My first "cheat" meal in 7 weeks. I went on 2500 calorie then slash down to 2000 calorie intake. I lifted almost everyday followed by at least 45 minutes of cardio.

I scarfed down:
1 Cup of Kashi Cereal
1 Cup of Skim Milk
1/2 Cup of Oatmeal
1 Apple
1 Pear
1 Banana
3oz Yam
30g Walnuts
1 Tbsp PB
1.5 Slice of Naan Bread (360 calories, sheesh)
4 oz of Chicken Breast
4 oz of Lean Beef

- Synthetic54

Edit: Will upload pictures later. Also, I think I am changing from Cut Diet back to a standard 40/40/20 diet. I can't run 8-12 miles without carbs.

always add cardio if possible before cutting calories.

2nd that...

**SteR-** · 02-20-2007, 04:54 AM

well considering I do nearly 3 hours of walking every day and an extra 1hr running on cardio days.. adding any more is going to kill me

little update
DAY 41
180.6
11.8 bf

**-J.HiZ-** · 02-20-2007, 07:30 PM

F'ing flu season.... I was doing well since my last post, down 3% BF and going strong. I decided to treat myself to a night out of drinking with my buddies and got bit by the flu bug... I was out for 3 days of work and havent worked out since. This was on the 13th. I have been feeling better lately and am going to attempt to workout tonight to see how I feel. I havent weighted myself since my last weigh in at 221, but ill wait until this coming sunday to do so.
