Weight this morning was 199 lbs (2.6 lbs loss). I didn't drop calories too low as I'm aiming to keep calories as high as I can over the cut. I averaged 2,600 - 2,700 per day which is 500-600 more than I've previous ate on a cut.

I burned 1,200 calories over three LISS sessions over the week. My resting heart rate increased to 73 over Christmas and I generally felt unfit, after one-two weeks it's decrease to 67 and hopefully will be back around 60 within the next couple of weeks.

Felt very flat this morning. Everything felt heavier than normal and I was lacking energy. Looking at mfp, it's noy surprising as I had 100 carbs less than I should have done. The carbs will be kept high today

No weights this morning. I woke up with my lower back hurting yesterday. It hurt last night so 9 sets of heavy deadlift triples this morning wouldn't be the best thing to do.

The pain isn't sharp and it doesn't feel too bad. I'm assuming it's nothing major and nothing a weeks rest won't fix.

Cardio - 3k run and incline walking - 400 kcals.

Similar situation to you atm, though haven't ever been into the gym. Any tips for someone starting out?

Kris_90 · 28 Jan 2018 at 20:40

My weight yesterday was 196.4 lbs. I'm very happy with that. I planned on losing 2lbs per week but birthday festivities last week and eating lots of cake

slowed the weight loss down to 2.6lbs over 2 weeks.

Cardio - 5k run 500kcals - speed increased to 8.5 kph.

I tried lifting a big box yesterday, it wasn't heavy but awkward to carry. My back did not approve

it was very tight when I woke up this morning. It looks like at least another week of only chest.

By similar situation, I assume you mean the thread title? If so pick a programme that fits your goals (google starting strength) and get to the gym
