Screwed it up for myself with a massive splurge on Saturday... was hoping to cross the 20lbs loss mark easily this week! I am expecting a big big loss next week though as I still done enough to lose some weight this week.


Diet

Average for Week
Kcal - 2470

Gonna try get close to 2000 this week to see what I can do weight loss wise.
 
Think thats a bit of a freak weigh-in from the looks of it. Even a 4000 calorie splurge on Sunday should have resulted in losses based on the rest of the week. I imagine next week will be a big one.

I am expecting the same to be honest mate - a possible 4lbr coming! Anything can upset a weigh in, such as dehydration, bowel movement etc... that's why I don't let it get to me really. If it was 3 weeks on the trot things would need to change.

Naah - if your scales are precise enough, think of it as losing about a double whisky's worth...

Haha true!

13/07/2015 - 208 (2.7lbs Lost!)

Was actually hoping for a tiny bit more to put me over the 22lbs / 10KG lost mark but I will take 2.7 for sure!!

Thats me 12 weeks gone with the weight loss, averaging 1.78lbs lost per week which is pretty close to ideal? The difference in the mirror is pretty big, and I am planning on taking some comparison pictures at the 90 days stage (Saturday Morning) with an official 90 day weigh in!

Thanks :)
Starting to stall - I don't think I am likely to see any significant gains in the next few months but I am ok with that for now. It does make me look forward to getting on a KCal increase and putting some muscle on later on this year / next year

Where you starting from / where are you at now?
 
Awesome

I am 5'11" and started at 229 - sitting at 208 at the moment... I think itll take until I am at 180 before I know what I want to do.

For pure vanity reasons I want to have visible abs, I think this might end up be closer to the 170 mark but I shall wait and see. I am likely to enjoy it for a couple of weeks, then start looking to add mass slowly!

Got a carribean cruise and a trip to vegas / cali next year also - would love to be 'beach ready' for them but still very fit / strong

You should log here!
 
First Holiday is end of February - I am hopeful I will be 'cut' well before that and can begin adding a little mass!

I'd expect to hit 180 by middle of October :)

You've lost me Mr thingy!?

Do you reckon I need to go lower, or not as low? Like I said, I will only know when I get there!

Don't do a lot of back actually, need to do more but I think my log shows I do a fair bit of leg work over the weeks!
