Good morning everyone!
How goes the fight?
I'm feeling a bit under the weather...the Patriot's lost (
) and I'm coming down with a little cold. Also, my big toe is still not great....A barbell ..empty thank God, fell off the bench and landed directly on my toe. 3 weeks ago. And I was barefoot. So I've not been down to work out since...nor has walking been easy...but I'm going to try to do what I can this week.
I've got work today, weds and Frid. Tues and Thurs is school and Friday night is a wedding so I'd like to get 3 lifts in. Walking might not happen.
Mostly, though, I've got to dial in cals. Been at maintenance for too long and would like to finish the weight loss portion of this journey this year. I lost from 249.6 - 174...took a break for a year or 2 trying to find maintenance and live here for a while...put back on 20 pretty quick in the process but been here ever since. No needing to get from 197-150 I think.
So number one goal....food. Hit deficit more consistently so it actually makes the scale move. That's my focus today.
Have a great day everyone. Will check in later.Kristen

Well, I drank a couple of beers and ate some popcorn on Saturday evening. Other than that I've been strict with my eating. Yesterday was a off day from training. Today I will continue with leg day. Looking at my weight during last several weeks, I think that I've gotten to a point where I might need to lower my calorie intake a bit, but we shall see I guess.Originally Posted by kmac1196

Hey man, congrats on losing 10 lbs on week 1! That is a lot of weight! My advice to you is that make sure you are not starving yourself and eating sustainable amount of food. I know nothing about your diet/training obviously, but while I have been running these challenges it is very common that someone loses big amount of weight during the first couple of weeks and then disappear from the challenge. My theory is that it happens because they are eating too low amount of calories and cannot sustain it and thus drop out. I'm not saying that you are one of these people, because I obviously don't know anything about you, so consider this just a friendly reminder.Originally Posted by johnbljr

Good morning everyone!
Yesterday diet was dialed in nicely. Hit protein...over hit actually. Hungry though. Repeat today.
I have school this morning and then I'm home so I'll get to get a work out in when I get home ...mid day is not something I ever do but it'll have to be today. Hoping my broken toe allows me to manage ok. Can't really get in any walking still so I'll see what the stationary bike has to offer today.
And I have a cold. I'm not dying but I am taking Advil so .....hope it passes quickly.
Wedding Friday night. Hoping I can lose a little bloat so my dress feels better.
More later.Kristen

Is it too late to jump into this? Just saw it now. I have metrics so can back date. This is perfect, my plan was a Feb/March cut. Im trying to lose body fat but realize realistically that its not pure body fat. anyway. Since we are just measuring weight here, im 6'1, starting at 222.3, week 1 feb 2 is 221.3. I was away on an ice fishing trip at a cabin on the weekend so that was some ****y food, plus superbowl food sunday night..... but I play hockey 3x week goalie and atleast somewhat understand importance of diet and cals. Have done alot of reading on this site. If its too late to join not a problem but it would be encouraging to do this in this group with all of you.

Good morning all!
Fighting the good fight. I've been stuck at 163/164 for about 3 weeks.
3 weeks of being in a deficit (without cheating) and getting water in and training my ass off while adding in HIIT 3x a week. AND NOTHING
I just keep pressing away bc I KNOW one morning I'll wake up and BOOM!
Low and behold it was today!!!!
160.8 lbs
thank you sweet baby jesus!!! I am so close to NEVER EVER EVER seeing 160 anything again.
I am done with bulking for at least 2 years. It is mentally tough getting this big.
With as slowly as the fat is coming off I better keep ALL this muscle.Squat - 205 lbs/Deadlift - 275 lbs/Bench - 112.5 lbs/OHP - 80 lbs

Not gonna lie boys and gals, nephews birthday today and I hit those treats hard. The bright side is that I hit my protein macros with ease because kebabs were present (I was still tracking everything on MFP as I went along and reached ~4000kcals).
Will be interesting to see how this affects me so close to weigh-in day on Friday...
Will have to do the cardio extra hard tomorrow, but it's leg day then, Will be a mission to jog after legs.

Do cardio before legs that way youll burn more calories first.Originally Posted by WeedRamen

Sorry for the lateness, I have been binging on & off since xmas, after dropping 20 pounds and I have put the majority back on, some of it water weight but a lot of fat. So i need some accountability.
Starting Weight: 220 Pounds (5 pounds water weight?)
Target: 205 Pounds
My first weigh in will be on the 16th Feb, as I am typing this it is about to be the 7th Feb.

Fell off the wagon today. Started fantastic, got up at 440am to go the gym at 5am before work. Got home, had a good breakfast, went to work and got busy at work. Didn't eat until a little bit ago and im not sure how much I ate, but it was 100% at least over my calorie goal, and nowhere near my macros. Definitely washed out my insanely early morning workout. Disappointed, but nothing else to do but wake up tomorrow and try again.... I have, however, still managed to avoid soda today, which is a huge win for me. Soda is the big thing im trying to get cut out. Its been I believe almost 2 weeks, and today was tough, but went with a gatorade instead (I know thats not much better with all the sugar, but its a start).

Good morning everyone.
Another solid day calorie/macro wise. Did not lift. I actually didn't feel well for most of the day ...just a cold but I took a nap after class and then did homework and household stuff and that was more than enough. Today is a work day, some errands and I will have time to head down to lift. I feel better so I'll get it done early.
Slow and steady wins this race (for me). Any time I actually try to get the scale moving faster, it goes the opposite way...so one day at a time for me.
I also need to remember how far I've come and give myself some actual credit.
I may not be where I want to be but I'm far from where I was.
Have a great day all....Kristen

I always do my cardio afterwards (usually a 5k run) otherwise I find I usually have no energy/motivation left for the weights. Not so much the other way for some reason. In any case, I'm not too fussed about the binge, it won't add too much to my 'true weight' other than a lot of water weight, which may or may not affect the Friday weigh-in but oh well. It will disappear in its own time. In the mean time, I'm just increasing the size of my deficit for a few days to balance it out so in theory there should be no difference in the long run.Originally Posted by stingray72

Just got back from a 7 weeks holiday and I went straight to the scale to see I gained 20 pounds. Weigh again this morning and my weight went down but I'm still 14 pounds heavier. People at home are saying my face and body look bigger. Before the holiday I got a dexa scan and I was around 16% body fat. I'm really ashamed to go to the gym / meet my trainer

Good morning!
Got my workout in yesterday...although it was light (broken toe still healing and it's been almost of month of no lifting) it felt great!
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.Kristen

How tall are you? I really don't think you should be losing weight unless you are something like 130 cm tall.Originally Posted by Liftoeat
