Hello all,
I am creating thread for selfish reasons. I need to lose some weight and these threads helped me to stay motivated in the past so I figured maybe it helps a little bit again.
Everybody is free and welcome to join. This thread will cover the following dates:

Dec: 23:
I set the final weight weigh in to Wednesday 23rd instead of Friday 25th as I don't believe many people will be cutting during Christmas time.
My starting weight is: 99.8 kg (220 lbs). I don't really have exact goal weight for this thread. I just try to stay disciplined with my diet and lose some fat. If I can lose 10-15 lbs, I will be happy.

Lets do this - 5.11", 37 years old.. I am 28 weeks into weight loss and have lost on average 2lbs per week without a stall - I want too keep that going but im going to set myself a modest target of 12 lbs weight loss - if i can better that then all the better but thats my target.
Oct 2: 250.3/4lbs
Oct 9: 249.3/4lbs

In! Continuing from the previous thread...
6'2"
Starting weight 260
Goal: 235-40 or once visible composition improvement is satisfactory
Aug 1: 259.9
Aug 8: 256.2 (-3.7)
Aug 15: -----
Aug 21: 255.3 (-0.9)
Aug 28: 253.7 (-1.6)
Sep 4: 250.2 (-3.5)
Sep 11: 249.3 (-0.9)
Sep 18: 246.9 (-2.4)
Sep 25: 246.5 (-0.4, -13.4 total)
Immediate Goal: below 240 by November 1.
October 1: 245.6 (-0.9, 14.3 total)
At this point, I need to make sure that I'm lifting at intensity and frequently and perhaps dial down the deficit. Already made sizeable progress and certainly I don't want to sacrifice hard-won strength and LBM. Going to see how quickly I lose at 3,000 calories a day, but put the premium on making sure I'm lifting heavy and regularly.
Good luck to everyone else starting or keeping this going!
EDIT: Not sure how much more I'll want to lose after my short term goal. I think I'll look good and be in happy territory in the low 230s, but we'll see! That should put me about 15-18% BF which I would be content with.Bench: 350
Squat: 405
Deadlift: 505

Thanks for starting this thread, updated:
For 2020 -
Height - 178cm / 5'10"
Starting weight - September 8 2020 : 95.8kg / 211.2lbs
Thread starting weight - October 2 2020: 91.6kg / 202.9lbs
Current weight - October 3 2020: 91.5kg / 202.6lbs
I weigh daily here.
Goal weight: 65-70kg / 143.3-154.3lbs - depending on how happy I am with my overall fitness / body image - and then plan is to maintain / lean gain if not happy.
Goal weight for this thread - no magic number, just want to be on a clear downward trajectory.
Diet wise CICO has worked for me in the past so I eat any and everything except liquid calories. Have found myself in an intermittent fasting (IF) routine - lunch 12-2pm, dinner 7-9pm. I'm also a volume eater and eat 50-100kcals of celery a day, usually with my dinner.
Pullup personal best (in 2015): 15
Current pull-ups: 5
Got a resistance band last week (PTP Superband Light/Red) to get more volume in for pull-ups.
Doing the stationary bike Sunday-Thursday, 40mins on interval training, increasing the resistance whenever staying in the 70-80RPM zone feels easier.
Fridays rest day / light cardio (e.g. a 7km walk near my place). Saturday a hike / active recovery (e.g. incline brisk walk to train for some steep hikes here).
Have started a beginner compound lifting program this week - Tue/Thurs/Sat. If I can be disciplined with a lifting routine for 4 weeks I will start paying attention to nutrition (e.g. protein in my diet) that will help me retain the little muscle mass I have.
Will be starting C25k (couch to 5k) when I hit 85kg / 187.9lbs.
Also started using the app Libra (HappyScales seems to be the iOS equivalent) - and its interesting to see it predict when you'll hit your goal weight, and how it smoothens out the daily variations up and down into a clear trendline.

Not tried anything like this before so hopefully it helps me stay more focused.
Been eating in surplus since gyms reopened in the uk now its time to try and shift a bit of fat.
My maintenance is about 3200 a day, not going to do much cardio maybe 3 times a week at about 6 to 8 minutes as intense as possible.
I lift most 3 or 4 times a mixture of low rep high weight and high rep low weights in session as that works personally for me.

I don't go to the gym anymore so above stats are useless.
Only do weighted calastentics in the comfort of my own home!

Thank you for starting the thread and count me in, too! My weight has gone up steadily this shut-down and I need to change things up. I will be using a low carb/keto style diet that I have had success with in the past. My biggest change will be the addition of electrolytes to fight off the keto flu that always hits me after a few days in ketosis and whenever I have a cheat meal or two.
For workouts, I am following Jim Wendler's 5-3-1 program (2x per week) and working my through a 24-week rowing program (Beginner Pete's Plan) for the Concept 2 rower. I also do as much mobility and stretching that I can.
Starting: 297 lbs
December 23rd Goal: 270 lbs
Eventual Goal: 215 lbs

5'7", goal is to just stay consistent until Christmas. Having never lifted weights before I started with the strong lifts 5x5 and will be following that throughout.

0.5 kg lost this week
I actually started this cut already a couple of weeks a go. So the inital water weight loss was already gone before this thread was started and I am happy with this result. Todays weight was actually 99.1kg, but I am using weekly averages to filter out some water weight fluctuations.
Oct 2: 99.8 kg (220 lbs)
Oct 9: 99.3 kg (218.9 lbs)

Decided to buy some digital scales yesterday and they didn't work, took them back today and weighed in for absolutely no change at all.
Luckily thats not a bad thing as it means my other scales were broke as I originally thought, I was 103kg friday morning on those old scales and didn't want to come into this pretending.
All the best this week everyone!
