I've been cutting for 9 weeks now and I'm only down 10-13lbs, my goal is to lose a total of 25 and by the looks of it it will be nearly 5 months by the time that is all gone spent cutting. Is it this slow for everyone els?

I've been cutting since July. It's been the slowest cut ever because I've allowed myself to not give a single fuk for birthdays, vacations, and family get togethers. Still, down 20lbs in 4 months isn't too bad. I'm in full steam ahead mode till Thanksgiving right now and trying to drop 2lbs per week.

This is me now. I always used to try to cut at a normal-fast pace, but I realized I shouldn't have to restrict myself during big social events. Been cutting since Aug 31, and only plan to for about another 3 weeks (I'll still probably be the same bf ). I have dropped from 20% to 13% and have dropped 20 lbs, so I'm content. To be honest, the reason I want to stop my cut is because 1. I am realizing my lack of muscle mass and 2. I miss eating 2800+ cals a day

one of the absolute best things I think is to increase activity. I used to not do much and losing sucked d!ck, my activity has now substantially increased - and in turn so has calories and it honestly doesn't feel like I'm cutting, in fact I feel pretty much as good as I did while bulking!
I do 60+ mins of LISS cardio (usually just high incline walking on the tready) and use the time to catch up on uni readings, it's awesomely efficient

20 pounds in 6 months. Thinking back on it now I'm dreading a cut again come Feb/March, but it will need to be done. Will be looking to shed 15 pounds in 4 months

I just started cutting again (10 to go) because I decided I'd rather drop the remaining fat now over post-bulk. I'm aiming for 1 lb / wk too so yes - forever lol.
Cut 60 in 7-8 months this year. I was a fatty. Willnotdoagain/10Clear eyes, full heart: can't lose.

Goodnight sweet muscle/hormones/sanity.
I'm pretty strict calorically except when I have a planned event. On my bulk I've stayed ~30 calories of my target and on my cut it would usually be under 10.
That rigidity isn't necessary or even good for most, but it does create pretty linear progression and easier adjustments

Depends....if I'm just trying to tighten up, it takes a couple months and I drop maybe 5-7lbs, if it's a cut then 1lb per week, maybe more at the very beginning....I just started a cut till Christmas time and for holiday times I'm just going to go with maintenance or high/low days to accommodate all the parties and family time.

First cut was 32lbs in 6 months and my current cut (I'm in my 6th week) I've lost 10lbs. Feel like this is never going to end but I'm planning on it all being over in May. I hope.
