[NitrogenWidget]

Still cutting?
Been cutting forever & looking to re-comp?
Been cutting forever & want to mini-bulk?
Then this is the thread for you!

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 AUGUST 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 THURSDAY starting AUGUST 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 and several track their calories for free on myfitnesspal. Some of the biggest “losers” in our last challenge - ToshiroAki (lost 78+lbs during our last challenge - SRS!!*), Owlyx, cduck44, GopherHockey, Nulllogik, DyingAtheist, sayntdownfall, TwangBarKing, davidphillips33, and Jetsetter1.



Let’s do this!

Annnnd we're back again! Cheers for doing this again Nitro. Will be PMing in on the 1st so it's all legit.

[PopAteMyHeart]

In on this. Don't have access to a scale though so I'll be showing off my progress through pics every 2 weeks. I'll come up with my plan and then be back to post it

Edit: here's my plan, looking for faster weight loss in the beginning and then slowly up the cals until I eventually just maintain. Female btw so calm down.


July 24 - September 18
- 1,200 calories
- no set workout routine (at least 5x per week)
- refeed every other week (2,000 calories) - August 7, 21, September 4, 18)

September 19 - October 31
- 1,400 calories
- no set workout routine (at least 5x per week)
- refeed every other week (2,000 calories) - October 2, 16, 31

November 1 - December 20
- 1,600 calories
- no set workout routine
- refeed once a week 2,000

December 21 - NA
- maintain
- no set workout routine

I know this thread only goes to November but thought I'd post the rest of my plan anyways. Progress pics every other week.

I was recently honorably discharged from the USArmy, I served in OIF/OND were I suffered from chronic shoulder pain, well turns out I had a torn rotator cuff. After a year of being sidelined and 6 months of physical therapy after a bicep tenodesis I have been cleared to goto the gym again.

My goals are to lose body fat % while gaining lean muscle and becoming physically fit once again.

Current weight:232
Current BF:33%

Goal weight: 200-205
Goal BF: 20%

That was a low blow haha.

What ever happened to Skype girl fuzz? Didn't you take some other girl out after you stopped trying to wk her?

[GopherHockey]

In, down 30 lbs since April and probably have another 30 to go. Would love to see the 160's by Nov 1. Thanks for putting this together again Nitro!

[caprica6]

yesterday i checked in at 120 lbs. in June i hit 116 lbs and i liked the way that looked so i'm working my way back to that after having a small setback in July. i'm sure i'll still have more work to do once i reach that point; my journey started in 2009... for inspiration check out the profiles of some of the guys above - Nitro, Skullster, Brad and Owlyx. my before and after pics - http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...post1080408171
