December 2017/January 2018 Fat loss & Motivation

[W.I.N.]

Well weekend has been a mess as was to be expected, today I was going to get back into it and even tracked my breakfast but started feeling a bit sick with a throatache, and personally I can't diet while sick so today was not the day I got back on track.

Scale shows it and I'm expecting the next two weeks to be really bad, it has also been really hot here in the south which is not helping at all lol.

I went to the gym yesterday. I had some issues with my car and I did not want to drive it, before I get it fixed, so I went with my bicycle. Half way to the gym it started to feel like it was a big mistake. There was ice everywhere and especially this one bike road was nothing but ice and even walking was kind of difficult... LOL. Usually they put some gravel on top icy walking/bike roads during winter to make it little less slippery, but I guess due to Christmas that was not done yet. I chose a little different route back to home and it was little better, but pretty damn slippery still.

And yeah, I have to admit, I ate a lot during Christmas eve and Christmas day. I haven't tracked my calories or checked my weight this week, but I expect to see a not so nice number on Friday... I'll get back on track after new years eve.

I got on the scale to see how im doing and it said 156.8. So thats good.

That's some dedication right there lol. I don't even want to walk outside to start my car when it's cold, much less ride a bicycle in it.

Mine says 143.2 right now, but come Friday weigh in it will probably be like 149 for no particular reason just to spite me...

On a more serious note, I've gotten a couple comments (3 different people actually) that it looks like I'm at an unhealthy/sickly looking low weight right now. Probably take pictures and get a bodyfat estimate again in the sticky and see what people on here think. I figure I'm still at about 17-19% BF and I'm still 8 pounds from my total cutting goal. I know I'm lacking muscle mass, but figured I'd could still get down to about 13-15% bodyfat before needing to bulk. Maybe it's just that people arn't use to me being low weight, and I have lost the weight fairly quickly (About 30 pounds in 4 months total so far).

I got those comments when I was low 130's too. (but I have no leg mass because of my disability) Dont worry about it just do what you think is right. Im going low 130's again and anyone who doesnt like it can jump off a bridge. haha

Woot!. Broke through a plateau over last week. Did 3x5 squats with 195 pounds. Previous personal best was 185. Weighed in at 143.2 today so i'm squatting 1.36x bodyweight.

Nice job, way to get through a plateau and crush it....

Show off over the holidays!! LOL, nice job, keep it strong you are a motivation to everyone on this holiday challenge.

Well I am unsure if it is a setback or a good thing, but apparently my hormones and bloodwork have been off. Unsure how long that is true, but the doctor wants to start me on a hormone replacement gel, as my level for being 36 is only 270ish. 3 different blood tests confirmed. I am not sure how I feel about it, explains why I gained the belly I have but still....my poor poor low testosterone body......wonder what effect this will have on my fat loss, might have to go into a muscle building mode for awhile while the doctors figure this thing out....I dunno..

[Hanger]

well back to work tonight, about 1/4 gallon of water down and just had some chicken........sorry for my above rant or overshare, just frustrated and blah about it, so rambled on the internet to strangers ya know the cool thing to do lol

I've been meaning to get a blood screening done myself to see all my nutrient levels while I'm on a diet. Be interesting to see if cutting down to 1500 calories a day has caused me to be lacking in some nutrients. Also want to see what my natural testosterone levels are as well lol.

[k41m]

Half a cow, maybe an entire one, didn't count lulz.

Sure join in and kick some fat to the curb.

Well after tonight 1 more night shift. Won't be weighing in this morning I think since I have been up all night. Going to try for when I wake up- lets see some good losses people, the Holidays cant stop us

[philgriffiths]

haha well they have certainly stopped me X-D, well, knocked me back a step at least.

a crazy 188.0 lb, so let's see where we stand by this time next week

[stingray72]

I weighed in at 157.0.

[Letram]

Early weigh in for me.. it's 3 am but I plan on having a long workout before work @ 7 am and stuff to do after work so it was this or skip the gym - and here I am =p

212.7 lbs

Looks like I am on track to hit my goal *knock on wood* since I did 0 cheating for the holidays this year. I am looking forward to being fat - I mean, to lose enough weight to be fat instead of obese.

Ok, those weights aren't going to lift themselves. I hope I was coherent, I don't like being awake this early.

Wow nice dedication during the holiday!!

[Kalagaraz]

Weigh in (12-29-17): 144.9

Screwed my weigh in up lol. Drank a few beers last night and stayed out pretty late. Ended up not getting most my daily calories in till like 1 am. Woke up this morning and forget to weigh in immediately and ate a sandwich and drank a coke before weighing in.

Still not too bad though. Next weigh in probably going to show a huge loss since I weighed 142.5 yesterday.

[Poyser16]

Hi everyone! It's been a while. Hope everybody is still killing it!
Could I get added to the spreadsheet in time for Jan please?

SW 180.5
GW 165

Been, I don't want to say plateauing because it's not like I've been trying really, but I've been maintaining the same weight for around 6 months now. Motivation and urgency kinda deserted me, but I'm happy I haven't been gaining weight. Well, I gained 12 lbs over the last two weeks (lol) but I'm confident a good portion of that will be water and gone soon, hence the aggressive target for just 1 month of cutting!

[k41m]

After Christmas the scale was up to 202.8 lbs, but still I was quite confident that it was mostly water since I have previous experience with binge eating weekends, but i worried when from tuesday to thursday, even running a super low carb diet, the weight barely got closer to the 200 limit. Well it finally paid off today morning. I still hindered my goal even more (not gonna make at 2 lbs/week loss rate), but atm I don’t care that much about the goal that I set, I only care about the consistency.

Week 0: 26th Nov: 204.6 lb
Week 1: 1st Dec: 201.3 lb
Week 2: 8th Dec: 201 lb
Week 3: 15th Dec: 198.6 lb
Week 4: 22th Dec: 196.7 lb
Week 5: 29th Dec: 197.8 lb
Week 6: 5th Jan: -
Week 7: 12th Jan: -
Week 8: 19th Jan: -
Week 9: 26th Jan -

Goal: 180 lb.

[lipids]

Weigh in this week: 159.2lbs. Have a Happy New Year everyone!

[RainingBlood14]

I took the week off from all exercise and binged like a beast over the holiday. I got in a good workout yesterday and cardio this morning.
Despite all the holiday mayhem my 255 goal is still within reach!

Week 0: 25th Nov - 264 lbs
Week 1: 1st Dec-262.2
Week 2: 8th Dec=N/A
Week 3: 15th Dec=N/A
Week 4: 22th Dec=256.8
Week 5: 29th Dec=258.8
Week 6: 5th Jan
Week 7: 12th Jan
Week 8: 19th Jan
Week 9: 26th Jan

Anyone who manages to lose weight this week or even maintain deserves reps and more!

I can't weigh in until tomorrow or Sunday as i'm away at the grandparents but I know its bad. Weighed in at 166 on Wednesday before leaving (4lbs more than on Friday).

Well I am unsure if it is a setback or a good thing, but apparently my hormones and bloodwork have been off. Unsure how long that is true, but the doctor wants to start me on a hormone replacement gel, as my level for being 36 is only 270ish. 3 different blood tests confirmed.

I think the whole point of this thread is to help each other out and share our trials and tribulations in regards to weight loss. Is the ideal range between 250-1000? Its not the end of the world, theres a few people who have built great physiques while on TRT, quite a few even post on these forums.
