Official Apr 1 - Jul 1 Weight Loss Thread/Comp

[DevouringCRONOS]

Why is lifting heavy and eating crazy? D:

It isn't. Poor choice of words. I just put myself through a lot of different experiments when it comes to diet and exercise.

Nice! Give the Big Three a shot, if you haven't already; they're a great place to start for barbell lifts.

Will definitely check it out!

Hows everyone doing for this weeks weigh in? I'm aiming for 189 or below

I've dropped 4 lbs in the last 1.5 days cause my of food poisoning situation. I threw up so much I'm sure I'll gain it all back....

Just got back from a nice walk outside though, 83 degrees here in Massachusetts. Walked out there with my shirt off; wanting to absorb some of that sun.

Wanna be shredded by this August!

Would be impressive. I'm shooting for under 200 myself, as it's been almost 4 years since I've been under 200 and I've got a lot more muscle mass now than I did then. Clocked in at 202.8 this morning so I think it's definitely feasible. GL to all.

[RGILL76]

My update,,6 weeks ago i weighed in at 288lbs,,, this morning i was 265.4,,,, about a 22lbs drop over 6 weeks,, it feels great! i know a lot of this weight is water but i feel very good ,,, and eating healthy isn't as hard as i thought it would be,,,, plus this Weight Loss Comp is also a good motivator not to eat bad on the weekends since we have Sunday weigh-ins...

My thoughts exactly. Even though I have no shot at this thing, it's a great way for me to stay on top of my diet and cut.

[GBMD]

Up a few pounds, I think I just got some water weight back. Bought to go sweat it out, (dunno if its a good thing or not) Reckon cause I upped my sodium by a couple thousand past 2 days.

How is everyone doing so far this week? Personally, I could be doing a little better. Haven't been to the gym. I'm approaching the end of the semester at my university so i've been stressed and spending all my time at the library. Plus i'm starting to get the sniffles :/ I'm still keeping a deficit though. So what about you guys? Anything interesting going on in your lives? How's the cut going for everyone?

[WannabeBetter]

Definitely going to try and kick 189.x in the face this weigh in. Made the mistake of munching on some fiber tabs... The results brought me down to 192.8 lbs.

How's the cut going for everyone?

Cutting is a breeze for me. The only issue I face is impatience.

[OpticNerve33]

I haven't weighed myself since Sunday, but I've noticed some minor changes in the mirror, so I'm going to keep with what I'm doing for now. As far as the gym, I pulled a top set of 365lbs x 3 in Deadlifts followed by a top set of ~235lbs (BW + 35lbs) x 3 in chin-ups. I also played one of the best games of my life in Softball last night: 4 for 4, 2 RBI, 2 stolen bases, and a diving catch that would have made SC's Top 10 Plays of the Day!

Damn! Very impressive! You should post up some progress pics on Sunday, if you can. I'd be interested in seeing how well PSMF works in terms of body composition as well as weight loss.

I should however, the insecurities of being a fatty still linger. Dramatic changes though. I am just hoping my chest will firm up(moobs) by the time I hit 180lbs. A lot of my weight is just coming off my butt =\ Darn you black genetics.

Regardless, once I hit 180 pics will be shared. Muscularity is being spared though and strength is being maintained so Im not going to slow down yet or if at all.

No worries! I completely understand and, at the rate you're going, 180 should be sometime next week!

Haha hopefully. At least during the week after at the latest. Gotta reclaim first place anyhow.

How is everyone doing this week?

I am having a rough time this week, diet has been off, havent been to the gym and feel really unmotivated.

[krete77]

I've been sick all week.. I'm lucky if I'm eating 1k cals every day. Haven't been to gym all week. Went to DOC and got diagnosed with NoroVirus/Gastronitus...etc


Guess i do need a break from the gym though..been going for 6 months 3-4x a week without a break. time for a deload even if it comes at a time when I'm sick.

But my macros are taking a beating..only surviving on gatorade, popsicles, toast w/peanut butter and jelly; thats all I've had all week. I did manage to have some french toast this morning, but I've been sick all day from it I think...stomach is just completely wasted

[jdslayers]

Feeling good about this sunday. Upped calories this week to 2300 because i noticed some lifts going down slightly. No motivation loss as of yet. 12 hour days suck though, it is hard to get a good workout in. Come on sunday!

[krete77]

First day back at the gym today in a week. Still not totally recovered from my virus but I couldn't stay away any longer. Had a good workout, energy levels are still down, but had great MMC throughout entire workout.
Dropped a lot of weight this week because of severe undereating. (not on purpose). Not happy about it but what can you do..

pretty much all you can do mang, just to get over the illness and all, i'm sure you'll be back to the heavy stuff soon.

[krete77]

^ Thanks.

Hey all,

I won't be around till tomorrow evening..so I won't be posting the stats to the worksheet until I get home. Have a big event planned for tomorrow..sorry if anyone is disappointed. But hey, look at it like this, when I enter them all in, you'll have a final tally rather then me putting them in as I get them.

Good luck to all on the weigh in tomorrow. I know I dropped 4lbs this week, with 2 of it being water (after puking and not eating lol due to sickness..)

Who's gonna be runnin the leaderboard up tomorrow!??

[wings_unhinged]

Had a cheat day today! So will probably have extra pounds on tomorrow. Only lost 1-2 lbs. this week, but I'll take it!

[Just_Ali]

Had some cheat meals last night starting weight 88.6 kg current weight 87.6 so basically lost 1 kg in 3 weeks but I am happy as my waist was 43 and now is down to 41.5.

Training is going great now I have to focus more on the diet sine only 9 weeks remaining.

Best of luck to all of you guys

[evans1109]

I am down to 235.4, feels good to drop again. Gaining sucks bad.

Good luck to everyone else weighing in today.

[TheBlueFalcon]

Not in competition,but following the thread, and wishing you all the best of luck.

[arivelo]

Ughh almost 60 hour work week left no time for the gym and even worse...bad eating habits. Nothing like blowing a week and topping it off with a whole pizza...I actually put some weight back on but I'm committed to rectifying this small relapse. Come Monday it's going to be time to GO HARD!

[elder008]

Well, thought I was gonna make it under 200 this week. Not gonna complain too much about being down another 4.2 pounds but finished at 200.2 this morning. Had re-feed yesterday which possibly skewed numbers slightly, or at least that's what I'm telling myself ha. Will have to work a little harder next week. Think I'm gonna stick with the PSMF for another 2 weeks since I'm still feeling good and lifts haven't suffered.

Congrats to everyone who's moving in the right direction. Contest has been great for added motivation - good luck to all!

[wings_unhinged]

Today brings a 3-4 pound increase from my cheat day: 230.

I had a workout yesterday so my muscles must have sucked in those carbs like they were on life support (been on PSMF)!

Good news, I tried on a pair of pants that I haven't been able to wear and they fit good now.

Odd thing is, I only lost maybe 1-2 lbs. last week but I felt like I lost a lot of size.

[loseitall90210]

207.5 lbs this Sunday morning.

Just came back from 5K run and abs, yesterday was Chest triceps & 30 minutes cardio, tomorrow legs.

FORWARD MARCH!

Congrats to ALL the losers this week.

[KC2892]

I was sick all week literally in bed all day every day since Tuesday and maybe eating a can of tomato soup a day . Weighed in a 257 this morning but I'm pretty sure I'm really dehydrated

[WannabeBetter]

Made the mistake of have over 8000mg of sodium two days go... gained literally. Eight pounds of water weight.. still waiting for it to go down.. gonna weigh myself tonight and see if more of it was removed

[krete77]

Just updated the sheet with all the submissions thus far. Missing a few. By midnight tonight, If I didn't receive a submission from you LAST week, and you have not submitted one THIS week, you will be removed from the list.

Good work all!
