[pyrojeff]

I'm already several months into a cut (went from 213 down to 183 currently), but I'll still join in just to keep the motivation up.

Don't have any pictures or stats, but:

Current weight: 183

And as a goal, I'll say 170 to be conservative. I'd much more prefer 160-165 though.

Good luck to all!

[euclid]

I'm in. 3 month goal = abs. Let's see if I can go through with it this year. Will update with photos/stats tomorrow when I weigh in.

[webgodess]

[rollen]

I'll join in. I have most of my stats on my Bodyspace although I need to update them. I will update all my stats tomorrow. I like to weigh and measure myself once a week in the morning to stay consistent. Its finally warm enough to start running outside again after taking a lot of the winter off . I did sign up for a 5k in the beginning of May.

I'm around 207 lbs right now with a goal of 185-190.

Hey guys! This is my first post here on BB. I've been VERY unhappy with how I've let myself go and have been hitting the gym for the last few days. I'm glad I found this thread as this will serve for some serious motivation from here on out.

Height: 5 ft 8in
Weight:195 lbs
Bodyfat: Unknown
Goal: To lose as much body fat as possible - hoping to see myself at atleast 175lbs by June.
Measurements: Will up date once measurements are made.

IN FOR SURE! this is just the kind of motivation i need with the summer months fast approaching...

Weight: 84kg
Bodyfat: 17%
Measurements: 33' waist
Goal: Get to under 10% BF by mid to end June and get to 7-8% by the end of summer!

[jGalt88]

Just a headsup you guys are already laggin behind! just got outta the gym - 1.5 miles warmup, lots of flys, lots of dips, lots of presses, and lotssss of rows. 1.5 miles cool down.

[skateme]

161.8 now with a goal of 150 lbs

Haha same..

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 164.4lb as of March 28 (I weigh myself Sunday mornings)
Bodyfat %: Will find out on April 11. Going to kill it until then
Measurements: All I know is I used to wear Size 36 pants when I was 210, but they're loose as hell now and I had to drill a hole in my belt to keep wearing the belt and pants.
Goal: 150lb or 9-10% BF and abs - whichever one comes sooner and then bulk. Idk if I wanna keep my six pack until summer ends though :/
Supplements: whey, sustained release protein (Nitrocore), MM, multivitamin, fish oil
Workout: Max-OT style (https://ast-ss.com/maxot.php) with 16-20 min of HIIT afterwards
Diet: 1425 cals a day, but it ends up being closer to 1500ish as a result of disparities in my measuring tools; I eat chicken, broccoli, oatmeal, and lately have been experimenting with Shirataki noodles. I love to make spaghetti, lasagna, and pad see ew, especially when it fits within my diet's caloric deficit!

[SophieM]

I'm tempted to join, but fat loss isn't my main goal right now. Can I join if I'm doing more of a recomp, not strictly fat loss?

[webgodess]

Welcome everyone

I'll join in. I have most of my stats on my Bodyspace although I need to update them. I will update all my stats tomorrow. I like to weigh and measure myself once a week in the morning to stay consistent. Its finally warm enough to start running outside again after taking a lot of the winter off .

Ooo that's going to be a challenge, but only at first. You'll get back at it.

You know I'm in on this.....

Welcome back ! Do you know what your ultimate goal bf % might be or are you just playing it by ear? Let's just go full boar on this one! Peel back the fat.

Welcome to BB.com ! It's a great site, bookmark it and subscribe to the thread then come back regularily. I've dropped about 40 lbs since joining the site, the support and people here are awesome, just stay out of the Misc.

Just a headsup you guys are already laggin behind! just got outta the gym - 1.5 miles warmup, lots of flys, lots of dips, lots of presses, and lotssss of rows. 1.5 miles cool down.

I think we've been challenged people ! Let's get at it.

I did a huge routine today including triceps, quads and hams all supersets.

I'm tempted to join, but fat loss isn't my main goal right now. Can I join if I'm doing more of a recomp, not strictly fat loss?

Of course you can

[steve38]

Lots of inspiration in this thread, especially our hostess. Wow, you have come a long way! I've never done one of these things, but hopefully this can motivate me to reach my goals.

I've eaten clean for the past few days and updated my 'before' pics today for some that more accurately represent the rotundness of my physique. So I guess it's time to get to work now and get my old body back! Good luck and happy training, everyone!
