Know this feel bro, it's never ending. Just think though what you've managed so far, another stone is nothing. And more importantly you know exactly how to do it! It's easy when you know how, even if you'd rather not be doing it

Whilst from the front I'm not pleased, back wise I was actually pleasantly surprised!

Off to France for a couple of days this weekend, so cramming my leg day in tomorrow.
Tricky with the diet in France too, croissants and strawberry tarts
In other news OHP completed 5x5 @ 47.5kg which is the most I've done so good times.

Good work! And looking good!
I don't suppose you can be proud of your stretch marks? In the sense of "I used to be X, but now I'm Y?"
I guess so, but for me its a reminder of a really bad time in my life and it frustrates me how I ended up there
But the show must go on!
Absolutely, and it sounds like you have the best attitude towards it.

Amazing progress! good size legs, back and arms too, wouldnt have thought you had cut from a very obese frame from the after pics.
It just means he has plenty of room to grow!
Weigh in this morning @ 13 stone 13 lbs again. 2 bad days sets me back 2 weeks in progress, it's ridiculous! I've had a great week with food though this time, tried some new recipes and I really enjoyed the food I'm eating.
One thing, these online calorie calculators. They all seem to be pointing towards a 2200 calorie daily intake for me to lose weight, this is crap!
I have been immensely strict this week with an average of 1754 calories (1858 high point, 1599 low point).
Eating this amount I feel great, no loss in strength or energy so I don't think its too little. Do I just need to eat this amount to lose weight at this stage? I don't actually mind it but would be interested to here what everyone thinks.
I WILL get to 13 stone

Stretch marks
I have horrendous stretch marks bro. Nothing we can do to change the past other than accept it and lookto the future.
Chaps I've been doing this regime for about 8 weeks now so I think I might change things around a bit.
Currently I am doing:
Monday = Back and Biceps
Barbell Row 5x5
Rack Pulls 12x4
Lat Pull Down 12x4
Seated Rows 12x4
Chin Ups 5x5
Standing Curls 12x4
Curls 21s x 3
Tuesday = Chest and Triceps
Flat DB Bench 5x5
Incline Barbell Bench 12x4
Cable x-over 12x4
Dips 5x5
Skullcrushers 12x4
Pull downs 12x4
Wednesday = Circuit training
Thursday = Shoulders
OHP 5x5
Shoulder Press 12x4
Side Raises 12x4
Facepulls 12x4
Rear delt flys 12x4
Friday = Off
Saturday = Legs
Squats 5x5
Split Squat 12x4
Leg Press 5x5
Leg Extension 12x4
Ham Raises 12x4
Looking at FF's new log could I attempt something like that?
My goal is to still lose a bit of weight but gain muscle too I guess.
With my compound lifts I get more enjoyment and feel it much more the next few days if I lower the weight and up the reps instead of doing the old 5x5.
Could I do 10x10 on my compound lifts with 60% of 1RM and 8x3 on my other stuff?

4 sets with 1 drop set is working well for breaking through those barriers.
