*munching on broccoli and running on the treadmill*
I'm counting on this team to give me a kick when I need it.

[urbanlamb]

And I frequently need to be kicked...and hugged...and be given fat free chocolate pudding from time to time.

oh hi

[SilvaMan61]

So what's everyone doing to cut?

I personally am hoping back onto the IF train. I'm so pumped about it I've been back on it for 3 or 4 days now and it is so much better suited to my schedule. Makes everything so nice and easy. Plus I don't feel as hungry before and between meals. This is seriously helping with the little cheats that we're holding me back. I lost, I think, 20 lbs in the first two months of my cut using IF. Since then I've only lost 11 in 3 months. Needless to say progress has been a little more than nothing. I'm hoping the IF and this competition will kick my fat ass till its lean.

[urbanlamb]

I've been steadily losing weight on an average of 10-12 pounds per month. Doing good with keto and busting my butt in the gym.

[BradKemp]

I'm not doing anything special. Eating healthy and exercising.

For cardio I like to use my treadmill at home and go on the highest incline and go for about 20 minutes. Sometimes my dog gets jealous though so I take him for a big walk by the river that lasts around 1.5 hours.

I don't count my calories when it comes to diet. I allow myself to eat as much healthy food as possible (its pretty hard to gain weight on carrots, apples, bananas and lean meats like chicken) and I know I'm usually in a deficit anyways because the cardio.

For weight training I have a bench and a bunch of different weights so I usually workout from home. I like to jump straight from my treadmill and hit the weights and then don't take any rest in between sets. Body weight exercises are my favorite. I like to jump from pushups to squats back to pushups back to squats ect ect. I don't think you need to push insane weight to get results. I've lost 30 pounds since March 15 and gained some muscle. My goal is to get under 10% body fat.. I'm going to cut the rest of summer and all of winter and hopefully I will get there by next summer. If it takes longer then whatever but I'm going to get there eventually.

OK hunneybun, I don't know very much about this IF thing, and I'm really curious.
Can you give me a couple of links or some basic info?

[SilvaMan61]

It's basically just a meal timing thing. Basically you start eatin at lunch instead of a few hours earlier. Here is the IF bible lol http://www.leangains.com/.

I love it personally.

[SilvaMan61]

265.2 this morning!

[BradKemp]

265.2 this morning!

Don't lose too much before the comp starts haha

I think I'm only going to be able to lose around 5 pounds so its up to you guys to carry the mail.


Also, where is okguy?

[SilvaMan61]

MIA I guess. Hopefully I can pick up your slack brad.

[BradKemp]

MIA I guess. Hopefully I can pick up your slack brad.

I think you can drop 10 pounds easy. Maybe even 12.

Basically I need to to have the best individual performance in the entire comp.

No pressure!

[BradKemp]

For Lamby I'm going to set the goal at 8 pounds. I think you can do it no problem.

I looked at your profile and it said you lost 10 pounds last month (great job) so lets set the bar at 8 pounds this month and hopefully you can do even better.

[BradKemp]

I noticed mr wiz has only lost 1 pound in the last 41 days so you will need to step it up a bit.

I'm going to set your goal at 6 pounds!

That might seem tough but I know you can do it if you work your ass off.

[BradKemp]

So without counting okguy or his potential replacement that puts our team goal at 29 pounds.

[SilvaMan61]

I like these goals! I'm a born loser, bring it on!

[urbanlamb]

Ohhhh...I think I can do better than 8 pounds...I'd like to try for 12.
*hiding the ice cream behind my back*

[mrwizyrd]

I'm actually at 212 now

[urbanlamb]

I hurt my ankles 3 weeks ago and have been having trouble getting back in the gym on a regular basis. Counting on this competition to get my arse in gear.

[BradKemp]

Ohhhh...I think I can do better than 8 pounds...I'd like to try for 12.
*hiding the ice cream behind my back*

Awesome.

If you can get 12 pounds we might just win this thing.

[BradKemp]

I think we're going to have to find a new member.

okguy didn't return my PM and hasn't posted since he signed up for the comp.

What a bum.

[SilvaMan61]

There's a nice long list of subs. Well have no problem getting a replacement. We do have to wait till Sunday/ Monday though.


Has any one else realized this is just around the corner. So pumped

[SilvaMan61]

I "discovered" Greek yogurt yesterday. By discovered I mean that I put my manliness aside and bought yogurt lol. Got four things of chobani. Now I need more lol. How can this little cup of heaven possibly be good for me? Ohsoofuggingdelicious.
