Just started posting again and can't believe this thread is still going! Jsim your results are incredible!

Going to do a cut for JAN/FEB

Starting weight: 163.4 - weighed 5th Jan
Goal weight: 150

[Frank Drebin]

Missed this thread, started my diet/cut on Dec 28

Starting weight - 209 (retaining water from xmas indulgences)
Goal Weight - Reevaluate at 170

Week 1 - 204.0

[fevtom]

Start Weight: 229.3
Goal Weight: 205.0

Week 1 - 222.3

Week 1 Review: 7lbs lost. Pretty much as I expected with the water weight. I averaged 1900 calories a day which was my target. I did 3 x stronglifts workouts starting with extremely low weights to work on form and ease my way back into it. Also did 4 runs totalling around 20km.

Plan for week 2: Pretty much more of the same. 1900-2000 calories a day. 3 x stronglifts workouts and atleast a couple of runs where I can squeeze them in. I’ll re-evaluate my calories at week 4 to make sure i’m losing a more consistant 1-2 pounds a week.

Thanks man! I have to say that I am not fully happy with my results of last year, but then again I did have some set backs as I first injured my back, then had issues with my bicep tendon and then with the hernia which resulted me having a surgery to get it fixed. So yeah, most of the 2018 I was not able to do much lifting, but **** happens. I am still here and confident that I can make 2019 better year for myself.

Looks like most of us have had a pretty solid first week but here's where the hard work begins. It will be interesting to see how much we've lost collectively when the spread sheet is updated. Thanks JSim83 for your work keeping this going.

[Wlindqu1]

Week 1- 240. Binged as planned on NYE messed up Saturday and ate 4,000 cals. This week is a new week lets go!

whole body is killing me from deads.
1393 cals
79 carbs
43 fat
150 prot.


I brew beer and my choc milk stout had been carbing up in the keg.
I gave it a sip and it was too good.
A little sweet with choc undertones. i'm surprised I managed to limit myself.

Had a small glass, guesstimated its cals off the highest stout in myfitness pal.
I only had about 6 oz of it and probably overestimated, but would rather do that than under estimate.


looking forward to tomorrow's weigh-in.

Wouldn't of known you had any set backs, this is how I remember you looking: https://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/p...hoto/103782258

From when I stopped posting actively, and you definitely have gained a lot of muscle! I reckon you can make your goal within 6 months, doesn't seem like its that far away, especially considering where you've come from!

Had a great week this week. Lost a lot of water that I was holding on to.

I am struggling with knowing if I'm in ketosis or not. I think I'm eating too many veggies to stay under the carb count. I have not had bread, potatoes, breaded food, candy/sweets, or soda.

My veggies are cauliflower, broc****, zucchini, spinach, and the occasional yellow squash.

I might not have everything dialed in yet but it's heading in the right direction.

gotta pee on the strip breh.
or get one of those pin-prick meters.

[Devlina1]

yesterday was not going to happen cut wise.
but today is go time.

daily goals:
1500 cals or less
140 g of prot or more.
10k steps on the fit bit

lifting will be an upper / lower split once a week.

what do you eat to get all that protein in that amount of calories if i may ask?

[NitrogenWidget]

Here is everything I ate Tuesday.
I basically eat the same thing Sun-Th.
Yes, it sucks by..well today.
Not looking forward to more chicken and veggies. lol.

Since I try to primarily lift on the weekend I tend to go higher on cals & carbs (but don't get stupid) and let the prot slide until sunday then go back on low carb high prot.

Actually i started last friday, so its been a full week for me now.

Starting weight: 260lbs
Goal: 218lbs
Aiming at 1900 cals a day - i estimated my daily equal to 2400 cals (average from 4 online calculators)
So im not sure why its going this fast, but no problem for me.

Week 1: Friday 4th January - 254,4lbs
Week 2: Friday 11th January - 252,4lbs
Week 3: Friday 18th January
Week 4: Friday 25th January
Week 5: Friday 1st February
Week 6: Friday 8th February
Week 7: Friday 15th February
Week 8: Friday 22nd February

My weightloss really slowed down this week. Dunno why. Only 2lbs down in one week. Still on 1900kcal a day. But i guess the first week has been with water. So down 7,6lbs in 2 weeks atm.

This is without any excersize at all. Well besides walking my dog. I will start working out when i hit 242 because i always make fast gains from muscle memory and i think my weight loss will stop because of building muscle. I know its stupid and weight is just a number, but need this to motivate me on the diet.

i think my weight loss will stop because of building muscle

Your weight loss slowed down because the first week is primarily a water weight drop. And weight loss doesn't stop because of building muscle, the body can't build muscle at the same rate that it can burn fat and significant muscle building definitely wont happen in a calorie deficit.

95.4 kg (210.3 lbs) for me this week. 4.4 lbs loss, which is just water weight gained during Christmas vacation going away...

[Turkstarr]

Coming in this week with a loss of 2.6lbs on my average weigh in for the week. It has been a solid week and feeling great.

Week 1: 195.4
Week 2: 192.8
Week 3: Friday 18th January
Week 4: Friday 25th January
Week 5: Friday 1st February
Week 6: Friday 8th February
Week 7: Friday 15th February
Week 8: Friday 22nd February

This week I will be keeping the following macros:

230c - 65f - 200p

For those worried about how fast they are losing, you guys need to relax. Like they say, its a marathon not a sprint. This takes time. We didn't put this weight on in a day so we aren't going to lose it in a day. All you can do is hit your macros, complete your workouts. Do that every day and you will get there.

Edit: Yesterday i was almost going to eat a full size plate of chicken and french fries (cheat meal) and then remender today had the weighing, so went with a small plate instead.

So for that, thanks Jsim83 for keeping this thread alive.

[fevtom]

My weekly weigh in isn't for another couple of days however I do weigh myself more often and put it in an app that smooth's out the changes. So far after doing exactly the same diet and exercise wise as last week where I lost 7lbs I'm actually up by a pound. I think some of that is down to the fact last weeks weigh in happened to be on a particularly low day and natural fluctuations of course. Hopefully it'll drop back down soon and i'll just focus on the long term.
