Weighed in at 206.3 this morning. -1.3

I was right about being close to my sedentary calories.

When I started losing weight, I thought It was around 2900. It's closer to 2500-2600. Which includes my carb and salt intake.

That's literally doing just about nothing all week except sitting here reading, watching TV, playing videogames, etc.

Have a good week everyone. Whoever is going to the other thread, I'm heading that way also.

Congrats to everyone on their weight loss.

Damn - awesome job! Proof that very precise goals and weighing/measuring/counting (assume you lift like a beast too) works. Are you entering any competitions in the near future? I assumed that's why the cut/mass schedule...

Hey, thanks very much for the reply. I'm very meticulous when it comes to numbers, so making a plan and sticking to it comes very easy to me. And yeah in terms of training I try and hit the sweet spot between intensity, recovery and frequency but I definitely push myself in the gym.

Next year I'll be stepping back on stage, the purpose of the mini-cut was to improve my body composition to allow for further, and more productive, gaining. I intend to spend the majority of the year in a moderate surplus, but before I actually start prep I'd like to have a lower body fat so I'll need to incorporate a 'diet before the diet' followed by a maintenance phase to try and eradicate any diet fatigue.
