June/July 2017 Fat loss & motivation

[ItsTiME35]

Right there with you. Now at 156.3, although I am going to need to go to 152 or 151 to get to goal before clean bulk. Getting tough.

the dreaded last pounds lol

well played mate

Alright, week 2 is here, and I have no idea what happened. I've been cutting for three months now so I know it's not water weight. But I'm not going to complain!

SW: 188
GW: 175

Week 1: 187
Week 2: 183.4

Nice!...that's whats known as a 'whoosh'. Everybody likes a whoosh. Whoosh's are good.

I've had this happen to me periodically as well - just don't get discouraged if your weight rebounds by a couple of pounds in the next day or two. For me, every time I experience a big "whoosh" like this it is followed by a rebound or "bounce back" of a couple-3 pounds, which I then typically hold steady at for a few days. But it is always nice to see that big drop on the scales!

I'll take what I can get, "whoosh" included! Here's to hoping it just decides to remain steady. I'm ready to be down to my GW and start bulking

[DyingAtheist]

Up a couple of pounds, thought it'd be much much worse so not going to complain too much! Trip in 3 weeks, if I can get sub 260 in that time I'll be perfectly happy.

Good job everyone so far! Some great numbers.

I want a whoosh. *sigh* Hopefully I get one soon.

I fear im too close to my goal for a whoosh

Starting weight: 247 lbs
Week 1: 244.8 lbs
Week 2: 245.4 lbs

No net weight loss this week, but my goal is fat loss not weight loss - I don't care if I gain a bit of muscle mass while losing fat. My scales say my body fat percentage has gone down from 30% to 27% over the past few weeks, I can lift more in my weight training, and my clothes are fitting more comfortably around my waist.

[anandagirl]

Easy to lose the most when I'm the fat one here . I wonder who had the best percentage loss.

You took the percentage category as well. Nice work!

Nice work for sure MTubz!

got depressed again today so i drank some bacardi and ate some food to keep myself from going to the garage and killing myself

but now its onyl 1245 pm and i've already hit my daily limit

i love how god made my bull**** life, no matter what i do i'm always going to be miserable and lose

Hang in there It gets better

Terrible week, two days in hospital and then pretty consistent pain just made the diet and exercising feel incredibly unimportant. Skipping out on the PSMF for the sake of my health but more for my sanity than anything else.
Got 3 weeks until my trip but even if I don't get as low as I'd have liked...eh, putting irrelevant timeframes on something I'm going to need to look at for the rest of my life seems utterly stupid. Just going to cut normally, where I end up is where I end up then I can get back on it when home too.

Grats Mtubz on the great week 1 weigh in! Always nice seeing people from other threads return and smash it.

Oh no! I hope you feel better!

Woop woop!!!

[FlankDrivePlus]

weighed in at 247lbs. Didn't lose any, but on the other hand didn't gain any weight either.

[Bootuh]

Currently three weeks into my cut and feeling very lethargic (even with a weekly carb refeed). I started at 175lbs and now weigh 169lbs. I use Drop Factor on cardio days (2-3 days a week) and Total War + Big Noise on lifting days (4-5 days a week). I've been training for nearly ten years and this is the leanest I've been, but I want to continue pushing myself to see how far I can take it.

[Paichka]

153.0 today, which is 0.2 lbs off my lowest weight. Hopefully when Friday rolls around I get to post a new low.

On another note, I bought myself a SUPER CUTE dress. It has sushi on it. I'm going to look like Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus, but I don't care. Ms. Frizzle is the chit.

[Isilya]

I had to go away for the week and I'm at 294... a gain of 2.5lbs
I logged everything and was eating around my TDEE and tried to over estimate portions (no scale). Hopefully, its all water weight from the carb increase.

[klillen]

Making my first post and jumping in on this late.

SW: 61.9 kg
GW: 57 kg

Not really sure what's achievable tbh

no one does to be honest. We just get on the train and hope we hit the right stops along the way

[klillen]

In that case, in for the train ride.

I should add that my SW was as of 2.6.17.

[Rainprayer]

Wow! 3 Weeks from before and after. Dayum! 6lbs made that much of a freaking difference in definition? Damn Bro. Respect!!
Your 6lb cut looks better than my 50lb weight loss. TT

[bigollie2006]

In on this. I have been on my own for some time making gains, but itd be nice to have somewhere to post as well. Starting weight was 178, now at 171-169. Pictures to come as well

lmao... whatever works

[Paichka]

Ugh back up to 154 today. I'm still waiting on this woosh.

I think I need to really dial in my eating again -- now that I'm getting pretty lean, it's going to require a lot of focus to get me down even further. I had gotten away from weighing my food here in theater because it's a PITA and I've gotten pretty good at eyeballing, but I'm a week out from leaving so I can suck it up.

im with you on this. the last lbs are the hardest - gotta really nail it on tracking wise but its not easy

and where is my damn woosh

[Bootuh]

How do you all cope with unnecessarily cheating on your diet? I went over my macros two days in a row. Do you lower calories for the remainder of the week, or just push harder and pretend it never happened?

define cheating.. are we talking 400 cals over your def or 2000?

if it was a small amount carry on as normal.. if it was a heavy one drop a few 100 cals more for the next few days to limit the damage

I normally lower my carbs for the next 1-2 days and add extra cardio in

[Paichka]

Second page bump!

So I was 153.8 this morning. I'm on track to be down a little over a pound by Friday, maybe. Not a GREAT rate of loss, but I'll take it after two weeks sitting at the same weight.
