It's not a start. Calories are calories, regardless of from soda, gatorade, or 100% fresh fruit juice.
A little top: go for a calorie free option (diet soda, for example), and then you can count that as a start.

Since its quite intense cut I'll be eating the same thing every day to the extent possible (if having meals with friends or whatever)

Daily intake: (~700cal)

4 eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 can tuna
1 cup carrots
Unlimited coffee

Will also aim for at least 1 strength and 2 cardio sessions a week

I'm 156cm and can never shift the flab on my hips and thighs unless I get to a pretty low weight

Food was on point to. And got in 13,500 steps yesterday.

Today is school day and school tonight and homework in between. I doubt I'll get many steps in today.

2 days till weigh in people.....don't lose sight of your goals.

sorry to hear about your toe. Good to hear youre getting back into it.

I had a guy ask me to play a second game of hockey tonight. Normally I turn down double headers but in the spirit of this I said sure. B2B hockey thursday night before weigh in will be a nice bonus lol. so far ive been good this week.

Remember guys, no salt 2nite plz. Don't want that water retention messing your weigh-in tomorrow k? I've also realised my favourite hot sauces, while low in calories are high in salt

Don't sweat water weight pal. If you start worrying about that too much, then you may start doing silly things like limiting your fluid intake the day before weigh ins also (1 litre of water is, after all, about 2lbs in weight).
As long as you're consistent, then the averages will track in the right direction.

Also, with all the physical exertion and sweating people may be doing on this thread (cardio for the win), those salts and electrolytes may be beneficial.

I'm sorry, but I won't add you to the spreadsheet. I cannot support what you are doing. You really should not be losing weight. You are already borderline underweight. For you to lose another 6kg is not healthy. It is stupid.

To be fair, she could be 4 foot something.

**Manila209** · 02-08-2018, 01:08 PM

Week 4: Friday 23th February
Week 5: Friday 2nd March
Week 6: Friday 9th March
Week 7: Friday 16th March
Week 8: Friday 23th March

Well, she said 156cm, which is 5 ft 2. Her BMI right now is 18.9 and if she cuts that 6kg as planned then it will be 16.4... NOT a good idea IMO.

**WeedRamen** · 02-08-2018, 02:56 PM

Haha very true, there a limit to how much water weight I can hold so I can still expect a trend over the 9 weeks, even if not present in a single week.

**Snowstorm5280** · 02-08-2018, 04:42 PM

I'm new here, but i LOVE this idea. Totally getting in on this next round!

Yeah if shes 5 foot 2 thats pretty crazy

**RFeXite** · 02-08-2018, 10:10 PM

9 feb; 188.4 lbs

Feeling pretty good about this.

**JSim83** · 02-08-2018, 11:33 PM

106,4 kg (234,6 lbs) was the number today. Another 1,3 lbs lost, but with the amount of calories eaten and the amount of exercise I was expecting more once again. So it does indeed seems like my TDEE has gone down a bit... But then again I did lose 60 lbs without dropping my calories, so I guess it is inevitable...

**BecomingSmaller** · 02-09-2018, 12:18 AM

Average of 193.9 for the week, that’s down 2.6.

**FatRuss** · 02-09-2018, 01:05 AM

Start : 262.30
Goal : 250.00

Week 0: 26th Jan - 262.30
Week 1: 2nd Feb - 262.00
Week 2: 9th Feb - 260.10

**PrinceofBajans** · 02-09-2018, 01:17 AM

Week 1: Friday 2nd February - 209 lbs
Week 2: Friday 9th February - 209 lbs
Week 3: Friday 16th February
Week 4: Friday 23th February
Week 5: Friday 2nd March
Week 6: Friday 9th March
Week 7: Friday 16th March
Week 8: Friday 23th March
Week 9: Friday 30th March

Tfw water weight masks your weight loss, oh well I look leaner which is what matters.

**TreHockey** · 02-09-2018, 01:28 AM

Wish I saw this earlier, it's a great idea. Any chance to get in this as a late starter?

Sure, just tell me what to fill in to the spreadsheet and I'll add you.

292 today, said my reply is too short so I had to add it here 😉

**WeedRamen** · 02-09-2018, 01:50 AM

SW: 87kg, GW: 80kg

Week 0: Friday 26th January - 87kg/191.8lbs (starting weight)
Week 1: Friday 2nd February - 86.1kg/189.8lbs ( -0.9kg/-2.0lbs )
Week 2: Friday 9th February - 85.1kg/187.6lbs ( -1kg/-2.2lbs )
Week 3: Friday 16th February
Week 4: Friday 23th February
Week 5: Friday 2nd March
Week 6: Friday 9th March
Week 7: Friday 16th March
Week 8: Friday 23th March
Week 9: Friday 30th March

Another 1kg down! 5 more weeks of this and I reach my goal. Which leaves a few weeks more to lose some extra. Which might be needed at my high bf% and also because when I switch back to maintenance I expect to add on a kg or two from water weight as my glycogen stores are renewed.

**Letram** · 02-09-2018, 03:47 AM

Start : 201.4
Goal : 183.4

Week 1: February 2nd - 200.4 (-1.0)
Week 2: February 9th - 198.1 (-2.3)

Moving soon so I will have to stop cooking for a week or more.. a little bit worried about that. I will get some tuna packets or something.

**garageathlete** · 02-09-2018, 04:21 AM

Week 1: Friday 2nd February - 246.6 lbs
Week 2: Friday 9th February - 245.2 lbs
Week 3: Friday 16th February
Week 4: Friday 23th February
Week 5: Friday 2nd March
Week 6: Friday 9th March
Week 7: Friday 16th March
Week 8: Friday 23th March
Week 9: Friday 30th March

I was thinking it would be a bit more, but will take anything trending in the right direction. On to the next.

Hello, all. The last time I checked into the last thread, Photoglady mentioned that she’d been a top 25 finalist in one of the big bodybuilding.com challenges. Congrats to her on that.

(I think I posted in the last thread twice. Kind of good for me, though. I’ve been trying to break my addiction to this site for years, lol.)

And I see Kmac’s name above. Good to see you.

I’ll catch up on your updates in a few days. I have to do some traveling.

...

I’ll give my workout regimen four out of ten stars. I need to get in two more workouts per week. Diet, five out of ten stars. I’m not in a deficit but I’m holding steady, showing pretty good discipline wrt certain snacks. I haven’t had them in at least a month. I’ve got a lot of excess cals from added sugar in my diet, still. Working on that.

**steelheader31** · 02-09-2018, 06:03 AM

219.1 for week 2. I can do better but going the right direction

**NeillC** · 02-09-2018, 06:47 AM

Well yesterday I was already down 2lb but my weight plummeted last night. I don't know why.
This week I had already attained a normal BMI and all the skin on my stomach is wrinkling up. Looks pretty bad.

171.7

**Isilya** · 02-09-2018, 06:49 AM

Ughh.

294.5 for this week.

Had too much salt the past few days. Stupid water weight.
