This thread is for motivational purposes. We have a good group here with a lot of helpful people so come join us.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Send a PM to NitrogenWidget (me) with your starting weight by MAY 1ST.
2) Doesn't NEED to be on that day it's just nice to not have to update the sheet every day.
3) PM your weight to me EVERY WEDNESDAY starting MAY 1ST.
4) I DON’T NEED pictures or measurements, but feel free to post them yourselves.

This isn't a contest. Just a motivational thread to help you reach your goals.

Welcome, everyone!

Do whatever you need to do to keep yourself on task and motivated:
1) Introduce yourselves and discuss your plans - cutting/bulking/recomping.
2) Interact with others in here and ask for help when you need it.
3) Post your measurements and your pictures if you like.
4) For cutters, come back even when your weight goes up. Your weight gain could be due to water retention from that pizza you ate. Don't worry about it - move on. Skip the next weigh-in if you're devastated, but come back to refocus/recharge/re-dedicate yourselves to this.
5) Report on your progress between weigh-ins if you want to in order to keep this challenge in your thoughts.

Many of our returning participants have lost a lot of weight already. I'm one of them and I'm here primarily to give and receive motivation as I continue my oh-so-very-slow transformation. NitrogenWidget, Cyanotikat, TelusLob, Skullster, Winfamy and scohen156 (to name a few) are all helpful veteran posters and I believe they're all tracking their cals on myfitnesspal - a free tracking tool. Some of the biggest losers in our last challenge - elgatito71, WarEagle0086, DefiningMoments, Saucen, and scohen158.

[MsFat2Fit]

In too. It's not a contest but I plan to be on top.

[cyanotikat]

In for helping others, I am maintaining for a bit on 5/3/1.

[Winfamy]

In ofc

[Brad805]

I'll give this a whirl too.

[Nosepull]

Yeah, still in.

Last time it took me a month and a half to get a handle on things. This time I know what I need to do and how to do it - I just need to man up and actually do it. All the amazing progress in the last thread was a great motivation.

Instead of a weight goal, I think I'll set a goal for waist measurement this time. I'm at anywhere between 78-80cm relaxed right now, and I'm gonna shoot for 75. We'll see what that looks like when I get there.

[Ammex]

I'd like to say 'in', but lets face it, I won't be. My schedule is too inconsistent, I'm lucky if I know what day of the week it is.

I'll sub and spread some reps to helpful, consistent people ITT though.

[Nulllogik]

Since I'll be starting my cut around that time, count me in.

[d1guy]

Definitely in on this. PM'd OP. Looking forward to this since it is my first time to join anything on here.

[ultra99]

I'm back from the dead and i'm IN!! I hope I can stick to a plan and move on. I'm sick and tired of excuses....mainly studying and double-shift work, been the same weight for almost a year now! Anyway, I'm aiming to lose 22lbs in the next 3 months, possible?

Definitely doable if you stay consistent and have the right plan going in Do you know your TDEE and are tracking your macros? That's the key to being consistent and getting the results you want.

If you're unsure about anything concerning nutrition head over to the nutrition section and read the following:


If you're still confused about something feel free to ask and we'll help as best as possible. Good luck!

All over this. Summer cut started last week.

Currently 81KG. Wanting to be a lean 72KG for summer.

[moneygrip24]

In it to win it!!

[Jeep41]

In on this. Been drinking to much beer and eating to good it's time to cut some fat.

[jbreaithwaite]

I'm in. I got to put the excuses to the side and get in gear. It would be great to get under 220. Even better to be around 200. Starting point will be around 235. Hopefully this will help with motivation!
