Hah! My friend and I were JUST discussing this. You should see what the overachieving moms are doing at school. It's f8cking Halloween!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I just wanted to let you know I started a PSMF log in the Nutrition Logs section (link in my sig) and the diet in general is going insanely well. I look forward to crushing weigh-in tomorrow.

My favorite pair of jeans are basically too big now. It's kinda sad, the gf thinks she can take them in but I may have to put them in storage.

In storage? You plan on fitting into them again?

Worst Valentine's of my entire life.

Hey, at least you've got it out of the way. The rest of your Valentine's Days should be awesome now. Besides, it's not a real holiday anyway. xo

Spend the day at the beach...me, my congestion and my youngest kid. It was nice. Diet is okay.

[cbrent1]

Low carbed today, ready for weigh in tomorrow morning!

[MilSpec4Life]

Ate like crap all weekend and I am down to 233.4 AFTER work! We'll see how t'morrow goes

[workinithard]

Ate like **** today. Im going to blame it on because I got kicked off a course for some paper work not being filled out right. No saying it wasnt my fualt but I had no idea what I was doing. Anyways gor real depressed and pissed and stressed so i binged at taco bell and ate 2 valcano burritos, 1 taco, 1 bean and cheese, and 1 chicken quesadilla. was looking at 3 pounds lost but I think Im going to be at 205 again who knows really depressed. did go to gym today though and did arms boy do I feel good for that atleast I did something.

[TelusLob]

Finally feel good about a day of food! Been eating way over my goals.. Fulking FTW! LOL

Macros in for the day: (3,143 385 92 208) cals, carbs, fats, pro.. Had a diet relatively low in sodium and high in potassium. Was an off day today, but did spend about 45minutes/1 hour playing ping pong tonight. Gained 3-4 lbs this weekend. Ate like crap. Need to reel it back in a bit. I may take off tomorrow if my shoulder doesn't feel better. I can't imagine doing back with a sore shoulder.

[Jonesy08]

In for motivation. Started official cut 1.5 weeks ago. Down 1kg (2.2lbs) the first week have my diet locked in so far this week so hoping for more of the same.

Anyone else only really have trouble on the weekends? I'm find during the week when I'm busy with work, family etc but on the weekend when I have spare time is the hard part for sticking with the diet....

[Gilly28]

bootcamp with the gf was pretty good tonight... I have a feeling she definitely took it easy on us though

[Nicky.G.Large]

Only lost half a pound this week.

Buffet plus valentines day , I guess it could of been worse.

[moosejuice16]

1lb loss down to 202.2lb. What i'm aiming for now roughly 1-1.5 lb a week. bf% came it at 16.8%.

[drkpassenger]

230.2 lbs, down 6.2 lbs for the week. not too shabby.

[NitrogenWidget]

Only one cookie.

Strongmeat - did my deads the way you said. could only manage 255lbs because of grip but no bi-cep pain at all. my forearms are fried though. feelsgood.jpg

Sorry - didn't catch where Strongmeat gave tips and don't feel like reading. Did you use an alternating grip? That helps you overcome your grip limitations and lift more. Recommended!

168.4lbs today. That's the lowest I've been since high school, I think. Couldn't be happier.

[bama5584]

Down to 250.2... that's 3.8 more lbs.

[Loseitripit]

i went back up over the weekend due to my 16th birthday.. in germany thats the beer drinking age.. started losing again now. im on 226.4 pounds my goal is about 205-210 by summer ish. about to hit the gym. arms.

[Korry1]

2/15/2012 - Wednesday - 220.0 lbs

[JaxLifter]

Weighed in at 234 this am. Another 2lb weekly loss. Tracking to be sub 230 by 3/1/12! Taking a different approach to my training and started the All Pro Beginners program on Monday. I've found that, while I'm experienced in terms of overall training history, when I step away from heavy weights/training all together then jump back in, I start WAY too heavy and fail to build a solid foundation. I burn myself out this way, have horrible DOMS which gets to be so bad that it effects my quality of life. Going to build a base this time. Swallow some pride with the plates, and just stick to the daggum program. I'll get back to pushing the big stuff soon (by the end of this cut for certain!) but will be able to maintain that level for quite some time (I hope!). Outlook is GOOD brah's!

Nice progress man! What's your deficit been like? What did you calc your calories/macros to get you where you are today? I'm trying to have similar results/progress and was just wondering what you did that worked for you? Repped for kicking @$$ and taking names with your steady weightloss!

I was doing alternating grip with 300lbs but was experianceing bi-cep pain so I switched on strongmeats suggestion.

[Gilly28]

201.8 from 205.7 last week. Had a strong week with few distractions. Hoping next week I hit my initial goal of 200lbs, I am supposed to be there by gf's bday March 15 so I think it's in the bag!

[ajm422]

Bummer. I usually use standard overhand grip for all my sets until the heaviest weight and use alternating grip if I can't hold on. Definitely listen to your body though.

[SeanM4]

Bla, only down 2 pounds this week. Really gotta stop eating like **** on Saturdays.

Glad to hear that, it might take some time to get back to 300s but your forearms and biceps will appreciate the change longterm

[Skullster]

Down only 1lb to 264 and I was hoping for more. Please tell me that heavy lifting is really making the loss all fat! I am certainly adding weight to lifts every workout.

Someone had to go an mention German beer. Damn I miss the real stuff

[easytarget]

So I'm up to 155.5 from 154 last week. Was at 160 from the weekend, so glad it dropped. Do we need to pm you the weights widget?
