2018 April / May Fat Loss & Motivation

**dinesh690** · 05-24-2018, 11:52 PM

Week 0: Friday 30th May 213lbs (96.5kg)
Week 1: Friday 6th April - 211.4 lbs (95.9kg)
Week 2: Friday 13th April - 208.8lbs (94.7kg)
Week 3: Friday 20th April 206.4lbs (93.6kg)
Week 4: Friday 27th April 204.8lbs (92.9kg)
Week 5: Friday 4th May 203.3lbs (92.2kg)
Week 6: Friday 11th May 202.2lbs (91.7kg)
Week 7: Friday 18th May 197.5lbs (89.6kg)
Week 8: Friday 25th May 198.9 (90.2kg)

Firstly, I'd like to thank you JSim83 for maintaining the spreadsheet, much appreciated! So my 8 week target was 194 lbs, which I am 4.9lbs short of. However, I'm not contest prep'ping or anything and I have lost 6-7kg in the last 2 months and feel much leaner than when I started, so I will personally consider this a very successful 2 months of cutting. Now for the next 8 weeks.

6-7 kg lost in two months is good. Well done!

My last weigh in for this challenge was 100,9 kg (222,4 lbs). I feel like I was maybe a bit dehydrated, but that is the number anyways... So total loss for me in this challenge was 6,9 lbs. It is little less i wanted, but I'm happy with the progress. I've now lost total of 73 lbs of weight since February 2017. So I've had rather slow pace for my weight loss, but it feels that it is sustainable so I keep doing what I am doing.

Hi JSim83, my weigh-in 180.1lbs. I lost around 2-3 pounds so still something to be proud of

Thank you, JSim83 for the thread!

Bro what have you been doing? You ended up higher than your starting weight? You started 302.7 lbs.
I know we had some discussions in the previous pages but maybe its time to accept that your methods are not working and try to follow cutting by the book.

**NadimShado** · 05-25-2018, 03:40 PM

lost 3kgs this month, been a good one

**sdil** · 05-25-2018, 06:42 PM

Smashed it

Maths is a wonderful thing. I worked it out based on my form already (I actually started my journey on the 24th of March) as I'll be continuing on to July 3rd, and further if required. I'm going to the gym minimum 6 days a week, sometimes double sessions if injuries aren't weighing me down. I've always had a huge engine so cardio isn't much of an effort for me in terms of cardio vascular effort, but my knees and ankles have given out occasionally, but I've kept pushing. I'm aiming for a six pack and increasing my cardio to be able to play a full 90 minute soccer game (ball is in play only about 60minutes so that's what I base my running on).

W0: 30th March - 94kg/ 207.2lbs (starting weight)
W1: 6th April - 93kg /205lbs (- 1.0kg / 2.2lbs)
W2: 13th April - 92.4kg / 203.7lbs (- 0.6kg / 1.3lbs)
W3: 20th April - 91.5kg / 201.7lbs (- 0.9kg / 1.9lbs)
W4: 27th April - 90.8kg / 200.1lbs (- 0.7kg / 1.5lbs)
W5: 4th May - 90.2kg / 198.8lbs (- 0.6kg / 1.3lbs)
W6: 11th May - 91.6kg / 201.9lbs (+ 1.4kg / 3.1lbs)
W7: 18th May - 88.4kg / 194.8lbs (- 3.2kg / 7.1lbs)
W8: 25th May - 88kg / 194lbs (- 0.4kg / .88lbs)

Height: 185cm / 6'0
Total weight loss after 7 weeks: 7.4kg / 15.8lbs (inc. gains: 6kg / 13.2lbs)
Goal weight: 88kg / 194lb

It is not a coincidence: I will have to supress my 1 cheat meal/week on June until the end of the month. I need to compete in a master weightlifting tournment, and my energy levels need to raise, as well a daily availability for the pre-contest workouts.

Let´s check on Jun/Jul thread.

I didn´t give up of my sweet cheat meals. You will see. I... will... be... back...

**TreHockey** · 05-25-2018, 08:59 PM

Current weight 269.6lbs on a goal of 270!!! Wasn't sure if I would hit my goal after getting sick for a few days and then going on vacation. I just stuck with straight whiskey and no mix and only ate half the portions they served at the restaurants. I guess it worked.

Week 0: March 30th - 296.0
Week 1: Friday 6th April - 295.6 (need 292.75 to stay on track)
Week 2: Friday 13th April - 291.6 (need 289.5 to stay on track)
Week 3: Friday 20th April - 287.3 (need 286.25 to say on track)
Week 4: Friday 27th April - 284.8(need 283 to stay on track)
Week 5: Friday 4th May - 279.7(need 279.75 to stay on track)
Week 6: Friday 11th May - 278.1(need 276.5 to stay on track)
Week 7: Friday 18th May - No weigh in, was on vacation(need 273.25 to stay on track)
Week 8: Friday 25th May - 269.6!!(Goal 270)

Oh well, that's a new development. I have no idea about powerlifting but can you do that prep and cutting fats at the same time? Looks like they are from opposite ends of the spectrum.
