[biggoron]

Started IF last night. From 8pm til noon today I had no food. Only water and soda. It's tough starting right before Thanksgiving, but i'm gonna stick with it til I can't stand it anymore. Honestly, I was hungry going to bed, wokeup hungry, and that quickly went away. I'll see how it goes.

I didn't eat as many calories as I could have before my cutoff. I'll be sure to fill up better today. The hunger didn't even bother me really.

Here's a before/after of me after 11 months of working at this. Some motivation for you guys today. Can't wait to finish up this cut and slow bulk.

[Grelko]

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving "if you celebrate it"

I've been with the family and was too busy to go to the gym this week, plus with all the food around.

I gotta get to the gym on monday and see what the damage was from this week lol, I'd say atleast 5 pounds

I was feeling sick this week, damn migraines... most likely from going from low salt to a sh!t ton for the last couple days.
I made sure and got my protein each day from all the deviled eggs, turkey, etc. that I was eating.


Updating weight on monday then getting back on track.

Down almost 50 pounds since February

[jief]

down to 173.8 its nice to see a lower number. bought some clothes to wear at my job's christmas party and it fit nicely.

[ShoulderBrah]

Down to 214.8.

Just got 345x1 on bench for a PR!!! Last time I maxed, I got 335x1 at 225 lbs. I'm getting stronger!!!!!!!

[Boombaux]

Bulking now 15% 140 who cares, will cut at 150lbs/or febuary or march no point cutting to 10-12% with no real mass

IMHO if one is going directly from cutting to a bulk, then anything below 15% is a waste. If you are cutting for the summer and going to bulk in the winter then going as low as possible makes sense.

[Boombaux]

weighed in at 169 this morning (could be water weight fluctuation, not sure)

diet has been a little off lately, but i'm going to get back into it tomorrow.

thread seems to be slow/dying lately

Yeah some have left for other weight loss threads but thats ok with me as long as they are staying on the path of losing weight and getting in shape. In other news Im thinking about revamping my training style. The current one I use is hard on my joints and I want to stay healthy without injuries.

Still here bro. Have two different start weights in two different threads and two spreadsheets keeping track lol. This one I'm down 5.6 lbs atm.

I hear ya about joints - 5 games of hockey over 3 days, I couldn't move my knees/hips/back yesterday.

11/21/12 154.0
11/28/12 154.5?

Is it possible that I could be getting some water retention from the creatinine nitrate in C4?

Eating almost the same as always to keep 1 to 1.5 pound of loss/week. So, surprised at lack of loss and slight gain?

Creatine can cause a few pounds of water retention, also if you're eating a lot of sodium that can make you retain quite a bit as well. I would keep at it for another week or two and if you still haven't lost then readjust your calories/macros.

Thanks. Didn't think the 1 gram in C4 would do a whole lot. Not even consistent with it (only on work out days), but i'll keep track.

[biggoron]

Down to 268 today. 7.5 total since this started. halfway there!

Down 9 pounds since the start of this challenge. I have 11 more to go. Almost halfway there.

[Grelko]

well, I didn't do as bad as I thought I would around thanksgiving

went up from 200.6 at 15.9%
on the 29th I was 203 at 16% "handheld" maybe water weight because of salty foods?

Still trying to cut down to 185-188, or 10% whichever comes first.
Even though I felt like I was pigging out I must have been subconsiously eating right around maintenance because I didnt weigh anything out the entire week during thanksgiving.

Will most likely still be cutting until my birthday in Feb.


Even though I gained a couple pounds, It seems like it was mostly muscle.
Looking leaner in the mirror, the old gut is almost gone, I'm finally SLOWLY starting to see parts of my abs for the first time in my life "when flexed", and my size 32 pants are starting to get pretty loose.

[Boombaux]

kind of went above my caloric goal yesterday and today...not too much though.
hoping for 168 a week from monday
