My Fat Loss Thread! ( Follow Along ) !

[KallieFit22]

So I havent posted in my previous journal for a really long time, so I think its time to start again especially since I've been on track ( for the past 3 weeks consistently). Although 3 weeks isn't a long time, I have the right mind set this time and I'm ready to get this done!

I've realized that I was never progressing with my weight loss before because I would incorporate cheat meals ( which I never tracked ) once a week, in which it hindered my progress, and actually I didn't progress at all actually to be honest. As of recently I've taken on the iifym approach. I eat clean for the most part except if on a day I want to have a snack... I'll fit whatever i want into my macros. I've realized this really helped me because previously I would honestly crave some sweets and I would tell myself I couldn't have it. If this is going to be my lifestyle I'm going to have to learn how to incorporate the "good" and the so called "bad" so I can realistically achieve my goals without binging like a maniac, and so far it's been working and I haven't "cheated" for 3 weeks.

My plan is too continue this cut/lose weight until January 1st ( and realistically might have to go into February, depending on how my progress comes along so we'll see). If I have to keep going than I gotta keep going! Im on week 3/12 right now. So I cant wait to see where I am on the 12th week!

I HOPE people will look at my journal, encourage me, make suggestions, or just words of advice to keep me going and I'd really appreciate it! Im at 130 right now, and hopefully I keep progressing whether the scale changes or not!

As for me posting, I'm not sure if ill be posting my every workout/macros at the end of the day, but I WILL 100% post my weekly progression pictures... maybe some yummy meals I eat every now and than ! Hopefully people will subscribe and follow along!

Back Progress: ( This was when I only did cardio To ---> Today 11/17 ( Clearly Im Flexing ))

[KallieFit22]

As for my Macros: 1450-1500 Calories ( I'm a college student so I'm pretty much sedentary all day because of class until I get to the gym). ( I track Everything on My Macros + ).
135-P
120-C
53-F

Workout Routine :
- I Follow Baby Got Back Routine. ( Although I've Switched a few things).
- Main lifts I stick to 3x5, but on deadlift day, I squat as well doing 3x12 (light) and vice versa on squat day. I do this primarily because my legs need all the TLC they can get
- I've also been super-setting a bit more to make my workouts a little more intense.
- Finally, I've also now introduced 25 mins of cardio 3x a week on either a rest day/ post workout. Once I start stalling I'll increase my cardio time or introduce HIIT.

[KallieFit22]

So today's going to be a busy day for me. I have class from 3-845, so I am going to get in a nice big breakfast/ get my workout done nice and early so I won't have any excuse to miss it

Just a little preview of my breakfast... although most people find training to be the best part of dieting/ achieving whichever goal, mine is putting together delicious foods that fit my macros. So for breakfast I made french toast strips ( soaked them in vanilla almond milk/egg whites/tsp of cinnamon, I of course weighed everything). Some egg whites, strawberries, and PEANUT BUTTER <3 aka my favorite thing in the world as my syrup. Total macros for this breakfast came to be:
25 G- P
40 G- C
14 G- F
__________
Total: 386 Calories



Had to post this meal because after this everything else is going to be pretty standard... chicken/broccoli/quinoa, blahblahblah

As for my workout, I'll be doing back and chest today and will update my workout once I'm done ! Have a good day !

Of course!! In for the ride.

[KallieFit22]

So to start, today has been an AWESOME day to say the least. Well basically because I woke up to an e-mail from my professor saying that our 8:45 class was cancelled today.. what college student wouldn't be stoked about that. So I got to actually sleep in and get some well needed rest
Two more classes to go and than I'm off to the gym to go have a funeral for my legs. Once I get my workout done, I'll come back and post my workout for the day!

On another note, I just made the most BANGIN lunch during my break between classes.. literally so delic. Its a good thing I enjoy cooking lol.

I've been craving a taco/taquito type of food so I basically attempted to make my own that fit my macros and I think I did a pretty good job at that. I used a low carb flatbread wrap, stuffed it with broccoli, grilled chicken, and cheese, and used a bit of siracha on the top ... oh and cant forget some almonds on the side

Macros for This Meal:
P- 39
C- 24
F- 12
Total of: 360 calories

[KallieFit22]

So I had leg day all planned out.. aka I always wake up super excited because its my favorite gym day. But I slacked but not really. I didn't have much energy once I got to the gym and I really like to make the most of my leg work outs so i postponed it tomorrow considering I don't have class on wednesdays and I can get my workout in at a reasonable time and go hard.

I at least got in 45 mins of LISS cardio... which was pretty boring cause I'm not a huge cardio fan, but I feel like I at least had to do something. So... on that note... leg day= tomorrow. I think I'm going to change my split around so I do leg days ( since I do them twice a week ) on the days I dont have class . Thats probably the smartest decision. Yup... I'm gonna switch it.

[KallieFit22]

So I had the energy today and killed my leg workout if I say so myself

Todays Workout: 11/20
1) Squat:
Warm Up Set 1- 1x12 w/ Bar
Warm Up Set 2- 1x10--> 75 lbs
Warm Up Set 3- 1x8--> 115 lbs

Squat Working Sets( Supersetted w/ Plie Squats 35 Lb Kettelbell).
Working Set ---3x6--> 135 Lbs
Working set ---2x10-> 115 Lbs
Working Set -- 1x15 --> 95 lbs

2) Leg Press
Did 2 Warm up Sets--90 Lbs
Working Sets--- 3x10--230 Lbs
Working Set-----1x20--140 Lbs

3) Lunges
3x20 Walking Lunges w/ 40lb Barbell ( Supersetted/ Wall Sits ) --> Wall Sits KILLED after lunging oh my.

4) Hamstring Curls SuperSet/ Leg Extentions ( Went Light/ W High Reps_
-- 4x15--> (50lbs)

5)Biceps
- Barbell Curl--->4x8 ( 40 Lb Bar)
- Barbell Curl--->2x12 (30 Lb Bar) Superset W/ Hammer Curls ( 10Lbs)

I did VERY LIGHT CARDIO after words just a 10 minute slow paced 3mph walk on the treadmill after words followed by a welllll needed stretch. None the less-- good workout day

[KallieFit22]

So I'm approaching week 5 of my cut so far and I'm already feeling sluggish and tires. NOOOOOO its too too soon for that. My professors probably think I think that there classes are boring considering I slept through like every class today.. oops. Atleast I went though haha.. anyways Gonna push through though if I want results (:

I took it upon myself to listen to my body todays, which I never used to do and took a rest day because my body really needed it. Kept my diet in check and hit my macros though so atleast I didnt slack in that department (:

Thanks to Kim, i adjusted my macros -now being:
145
120 C
50 F
Total of 1510 Calories

Each week I will have a refeed being
120 P
300 C ( - Happiest girl alive cause Im a carb junky on the low) (:
40 F
Total of 2040 calories

Hopefully doing that will give me the boost and energy I need to continue this cut for another 8-10 weeks (:

Oh and better believe Im using this refeed for thanksgiving! (:

[jpg68]

Did we have a productive weekend?

[nycag04]

Subbed! Great work so far. I'm cutting at cals/macros VERY close to yours (140g pro, 130g carbs - just reduced from 140g - and 50g fat) and just started my 6th week. Do you have a loose weight goal in mind? I keep going back and forth between finding maintenance by mid February or keeping at it until I hit about 125 (about 135 right now). Anyway, good luck!

[KallieFit22]

Did we have a productive weekend?

I've realized I'm terrible at journaling every day... oh boy... haha bare with me please. I can honestly say that I went home from school for thanksgiving and celebrated for an entireeee week. Bad bad bad... so I was productive in the stuffing face department! haha Oops.

Now that I'm back I'm back on track but this time holidays will notttt be throwing me off . I swear! Thanks for checkin in on me 😊

Hi sorry I just saw this! But my macros were actually just adjusted! I'm currently working with Kim ( Kimm4) for the rest of my cut for 14 weeks! Gonna take this cut nice and slow and do exactlt what she says!

My macros right now are at 140 P, 120 C, 55 F, So our macros are extremely close! Our goals are practically the same! Im trying to get into the 120-125 range, but I care less about the weight but more about how I look yano? But that number would deff be nice to see!

Good luck too you to girl! Do you have a journal or anything going? Itd be cool to see how we compare once we get to our goal and to follow along for the journey (:

[jpg68]

well get back in the game and keep trucking!!

[KallieFit22]

well get back in the game and keep trucking!!

haha im back i'm back! Started on december 1st, and am going to go straight until may! Hopefully me working with Kim will get me just where I need to be and I think that me working with her will be just the trick!

Thanks for the motivation! Hope your training and such are coming along well

[jpg68]

what were you not straight? Glad to see your back on track keep it up you will get the results you want.

I'm working with Kim too! She's great. I've sort of stalled, but I'm also sick, and it's so hard to tell what's going on because of all the fluctuations this week. Still sticking to my diet, and have only missed one workout so far; hopefully I have enough energy to lift tomorrow.

Totally feel you! I actually just tried to make myself feel better by doing side by side comparison pics (I put them on bodyspace if you want to see what I mean) of me 7 lbs ago vs. me now. About the same calories, more carbs now, but it made me realize that the # is less important than progress...which I knew but is hard to remember!

I am logging my experience with AEN PreSurge right now, but I don't have a cutting log or anything. Maybe I'll start a training log when my PreSurge is gone and my log is finished.

I'll definitely follow along here and chime in and we can keep each other motivated!

Wait that so awesome! And she is! And oh no feel better girl! Atleast you stuck with your diet, thats practically the most important part, but I know how it feels to miss gym sessions and it BLOWS. Hopefully you feel better by tomorrow so you can go kick some ass again haha

And I'm literally doing the same thing, each week I'm taking pictures and even seeing little changes spark the motivation. Better than nothing right! And if it were up to me I'd chuck my scale out the window haha, I could live with never weighing myself but I guess its a useful tool sometimes lol (eh). But I'm totally gonna go check out your progress, I'm sure you've been doing awesome.

If you end up logging here lmk, I'm totally in and thanks girl I can use all the motivation I can get haha and I'll help and most deff do the same for you! We got this

[KallieFit22]

Just writing a little bit, nothing fancy. So this week is finals week for me aka ahhhghhh stress on stress. I got in my workout yesterday (back/triceps) and that went well!

Slightly getting distracted at the gym because all the people know me there now so they stop and chat making my workout less intense haha but its okay, for now! as long as its not a daily thing.

Gonna study a ton today and tomorrow for my cumalitive final on thursday, so today will be a rest day, diets in check so far , and I'll hit legs tomorrow.

It's officiallt week 2 of my "real" cut and many more weeks to follow😊😊👏👏

[jpg68]

Good luck on finals!!! Kill legs tomorrow

[nycag04]

Hang in there! Good luck on finals - soon you will be done and relaxing.

Ugh I'm so glad I'm not especially friendly with anyone at the gym. I know that seems so antisocial, but I'd lose it if people interrupted me.

hahaha I think it helps that I work out really early in the morning. No one wants to talk at that hour!

[KallieFit22]

Just got my leg workout done! It was so funny, this girl came up to me and was like "Wow, you're so strong" hahaha I don't know why but I found that to be extremely funny….maybe I'm just weird. Who knows lol.

But as for my workout:
1) Squats:
4x12--- (120lbs) ( Superset w/ Goblet Kettelbell Squat-- 40 LB ) ---> This killed me lol

2) SLDL--->
4x12-->60 LB Bar ( Superset w/ standing calf raises, no weights).

3)Good-mornings-->
4x12- 50 LB bar.

4)Walking Lunges--> Used 50LB barbell and walked the floor of the gym 3 times, and did some wall sits to burnout my quads.

5)Leg Extension
3x12--70 LB, Superset w/ Leg Press High Foot placement: 110 LB (kept it light).

Cardio--> Did 15 Min stair stepper really slow.. boo.


Now that I'm pooped, I'm gonna be up all night studying for a 100 Multiple choice question final ( cumulative)… gotta love those kind of professors lol… sikeeee. BUT on the bright side, I made a yummy post workout snack.. so I'm happy.
