Tired

[Cautious1]

Height: 5"11
Weight: 75KG (Probably lower, might have water weight)
Goal Weight: 70KG

Ive lost like 8KG in 3months, getting tired and bored of my 1500Kcal cut. I still have abit of fat mainly stomach and lower chest, I can feel my abdominal muscle shape through the fat thats left. Doubt theyll show after losing the last 5KG.

Is it worth cutting the last 5KG? Ill just have less fat on mid section and look flatter due to lack of muscle.

Maybe increase your calories. I'm about your height but a little heavier and can easily fir 5-700 more calories in than that whilst losing at a good rate. Fatigue is likely due to this

I would always say finish a cut that you start, jumping between goals is not a good precedent to set for your future endeavors and it will only give you more room to gain mass later.

Ive only got one more month and Ill be at my goal weight, I think my motivation is at its lowest atm... Ill need to find it again.

Im on a 900Kcal deficit while eating 1500Kcal. I dont mind being fatigue, Im in bed all day apart from going to the gym & I take a caffine capsule so I aint fatigue in my workouts.

And I agree about not finishing a cut, that was the cause of having the same physique for the last 3 years. I would feel to skinny even tho I wasnt then bulk, I would then feel too fat even tho I wasnt then cut and repeat. I needed that reminder thanks

No problem man, been in that endless yoyo found it was all down with failing to accept reality. Couldn't deal with the reality of how skinny I was going to be so switched. Then couldn't deal with the fact that I was too pudgy to gain more and on and on

Yeh man took me at least 3 years to get it all right lol.

1st year of winging it
2nd year of trial and error
3rd year of finally getting it right

Same, now if only I could be disciplined with my bulk calories I wouldn't have had to spend the better part of 3-4 years where I know what I'm doing cutting!

we're all in the same boat, or maybe different boats but sailing the same sea

1st year: 6 months bulk when a deficit/maintenance would've been fine, then cutting for 3 months, and bulking until 2nd year
first half of 2nd year: bulk continues for 6 months --> 27-28% bf (really needed it for gains)
second half of 2nd year: cutting for 6 months --> finally around 16% bf

tldr: too eager to bulk and i've spent like 9 out of 24 months of my training on cutting while losing strength

for my third year that starts in a month, i'm hoping to hit like 11-13% bf before slowly bulking

Common problem is that we get fixed on an unrealistic "goal weight". We set ourselves up for a number at the beginning of the diet that we expect will be "lean" and once we get there realize that we were fatter than originally thought.

Personally, I never expected that I would have to drop below 160 pounds to get rid of the last of the lower back/stomach fat but since I am now at 160 and some of it is still there, that is what I will have to do in order to get rid of it (when originally my plan was to stop and be "lean" around 170 pounds).

So really you have to decide if you want to stop at some arbitrary number on the scale or when you actually have lost the amount of fat you wanted to lose in the first place?
