[gynogone]

Hey guys,
For those of you who have already been through the process, I am in the second month now, did you have cheat days. Im finding it hard to not have cheat days. So FRI I had a burrito bowl for lunch, 770 cals, and then drank all night. SAT, hung over, ate like **** all day. Sunday, ran 7 miles, had BDUBS totalling about 1800 cals, then had yogurt and nuts before bed. So overall cheat days, yes or no. Rest of the week Im at 1800 or less per day. Never under 1300.
Thank you

What I've discovered personally is that my face bloats easily. I did have a similar jaw line in the September photo at around April, maybe a bit more chubby. Then I had an attempt at a bulk (became more of a recomp) hence my face bloating again. I wouldn't really say I'm a hardgainer as well, based off my male relative's. Everyone is a hardcore Endo's with a slight bit of Meso; the real problem I believe is staying relatively lean.

Didn't know Ewan McGregor was obese as a kid.

Haha thank's for the compliment :P

[WCEForeverman]

Haha.

My thoughts exactly.

[somnambulated]

Figured since I had this on my IG I would throw it up here too





Went from about 220ish down to currently around 175. Don't have any shirtless pictures taken for logging purposes from back then.


Keep the cut going guys!

[mrln242]

Anyone else cheat days.
I have a weird body structure always have. Im dense, like a beast, but Im overweight as well. I've never not worked out, I just eat. Plus I cook, semi-professionally, so again I was used to eating like a beast as well. Got married gained weight. Now Im trying to lose 84lbs, well I think at this point I only have to lose 73lbs. Maybe less by now.

Im training for yet another marathon, I've done two in the past three years, and doing two in 2013. Skipped 2012, it was a big transition year for me. I think this information will help you guys assess if I should be having cheat meals at all, or if I should skip them all together until I reach my goal weight of 205lbs.

So workouts, I weight train 5x/week. One muscle group per day. My leg workouts consist of power yoga. Everything else standard sets and reps. 12-13-14 increasing weight with every set. Cardio Im killing about 20 miles per week. If you know Hal Higdon Im using his Novice 1 and we are at the 3-4-3-9 week. Oh I should mention Ive just started to do two a days. Im going to continue that until DEC 12th. Im trying to get ahead a little because Im going home for three weeks during the holidays and my friends again eat, so I know I will have a hard time around peer pressure.

Calories 1300-1800 per day mostly eat chicken and PB and J right now. Kale shakes, oatmeal, egg whites. Some pork, some beef on days I feel "soggy." I use that to describe a day when Im like couch stuck.

So what say you, to cheat or not to cheat?

My 4 month cut, help a brother out should I keep cutting or clean bulk?

[recoill]

I have no idea how fit or what i look, but here's my progress, at the first picture im about 95-100kg, and on the left one im at 82-85kg
Started working out when i realized that i was freaking 110kg

All the motivational and criticize comments are more than welcome

I'd say go on a bulk, but eat clean. I think you may begin to look too skinny if you cut much more. It's really up to you at this point. Regardless, nice work so far.

Looking THICK, SOLID and TIGHT. Nice work, seriously. You can tell you had a good muscle base under your fat.

Good job. Diet/routine please?!

[somnambulated]

Good job. Diet/routine please?!

It's bounced around a lot during the whole process but currently I am doing:


Intermittent Fasting (16 hour fast, 8 hour feeding period)
@ 1500 cals (160 g protein, the rest varies but usually higher on fats than carbs)
Split - Legs / Chest & Tris / Back & Bis / Shoulder / Abs (emphasis on 5x5 big compounds, 3x8 isos)


Cutting down to 10-12% then lean bulking like a mofo

Thank you

Your need to have cheat days depends in some part on how difficult your diet is to enjoy. I always say a diet is like having your picture taken. If you have to work to hold your pose, eventually your muscles will strain, and you'll exhale and let out your pot belly. But if you're just standing up straight, relaxed, they can take the picture whenever they want.

Hard, strict diets are good - and more importantly, more effective - than just eating a little better. But, if you're fighting your willpower every day to stay strict all the time, and then one day you go double or triple your diet constraints, you're not going to get anywhere, and it sucks to always have to starve yourself. Just drop the crap from your diet; the big, greasy stuff, the empty sugar loads. Try to never eat that. Find things that are healthier but still taste good, and slowly try to build THAT into your caloric needs and your dietary needs. If you enjoy what you're eating, it's a LOT easier to stay comfortable while you diet.

That's my uneducated 2 cents on the psychology of willpower in dieting, anyway. Hope it helps.

Hey everybody just want to share my ongoing transformation. I started about 3 months ago and have lost 23 lbs. Original goal was to make it to 125 lbs. A little background on me is I was in great shape in my highs school years from being a wrestler and athlete but after graduation I slowly deteriorated, going from weighing around 110 to to 150 in about 4 years. (Horrible I know). So now it feels great getting back into shape and being healthy. My new goal is to either get to 125 lbs and bench 250 or 120 lbs and bench 240. Not sure which would be easier. Any suggestions.? I'm max bbenching around 230 now. Thanks. Pix on pro if u would like to see

Hey sorta new here, I decided to start getting more fit in august of this year and have been doing a lot of trial&error,trying to see what works for me. In the pic I attached the left photo is August of This year and the right photo was taken at the beginning of November. At the moment i guess you could say im cutting,and i think these are decent estimates of what i intake:

Cal : 1400-1500, Carbs : 50g , Fat: 40-50g , Protein : 50-60g.

I go to the gym about 4-5 times a week while eating clean,i can see the abs somewhat forming and was wondering if i want them to REALLY start coming out.. should i keep as i am or should i change it up..the only guidance i have is what i see on Instagram/youtube and i'd like to stop walking in the dark..anyones 2cents would be appreciated,thanks.

Growing up I was always the fat kid struggling with weight and eating problems throughout my life. I reached over 300 pounds (130 kg, 28% body fat) by the age of 16, and I was heading towards a very dangerous path. I once ate 34 slices of pizza at an eating contest (winning of course); to be that overweight and able eat that much as a teenager was very risky. If I had stayed on that path I would not expect to live a very long or healthy life. My body is still covered in stretch marks from just how over weight I was. I always hated them, trying to find out ways to get rid of them. Now, I love them! They are my “tattoo’s”, they are scars that I will have for life constantly reminding me every day of where I have been, what I have done to be where I am today. Growing up I was teased and made fun of at school, I was terrified to ever take my shirt off in public. I would fake being sick whenever we had to go swimming for class, and wouldn’t enjoy going to the beach because I could never take my shirt off like my friends and class mates. I didn’t enjoy a lot of things growing up because of the fact that I was overweight. I knew I was different, and I knew that people looked at me differently. One day I just had enough, promising myself that I will make a change. I had a dream, a dream that one day I will have one of the most amazing bodies people have ever seen. I saw the people on the cover of fitness and bodybuilding magazines and pictured myself looking like that. I wanted a body that looked like it was sculpted out of stone. The body of my dreams! After being so self-conscious of my image all those years, it made me want something that was exceptional, not normal. I never was normal, so why start now I figured. I wanted to change my body, and I was willing to work as hard as I possibly could to make it happen. No one ever believed I could do though. How can a fat kid that can’t stop eating have an impressive body? No one believed I could even lose any weight, yet alone have a sculpted 6 pack. This doubt, this “hate” just made me want it even more. I wasn’t just doing this for myself anymore; I was doing to prove everyone wrong. I had faith in myself, that I could achieve anything I put my mind to. I had a dream, and I wasn’t going to let anyone or anything stand in my way! I'm now an aspiring fitness model/bodybuilder, and I want to continue to prove others wrong on the path to all my dreams!

Below are some of my pictures. It is great to be on here and see everyone else's transformations, it is really inspiring as I know exactly what they went through! Keep training hard, eating smart and may all your dreams come true!
