Quote HistoryQuoted: As of this morning I'm 224.5. I'm down 5.5 lbs since I started just after Christmas. Pyramix today, run and gun on Saturday and a weighted ruck on Sunday.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: 230 lbs checking in. I want to see what 210 looks like on me to start but may want to get to 200 even. Diet - I'm reducing alcohol, limiting carbs and doing 16/8 intermittent (which is how I typically eat anyway). also doing a 24 hour fast, once per week. Exercise - simple pyramix exercises with dumbbells every other day. Cardio on the non-pyramix days (ETA elliptical mostly for cardio, has been easy on my knees). As of this morning I'm 224.5.

I also haven't slept well (personal and work things going on) but still made progress. Alternate 20-30 hard minutes of elliptical and 45 minutes of pyramix. I'm still doing 24 hr fast on Mondays. Diet has been mostly low carb still, some days are keto level almost no carbs. The bulk of carbs are from veggies - salads, mashed cauliflower, spinach, asparagus, broccoli. Proteins are steak, fish, eggs, pork loin or chop, canned tuna, ham/cheese rollups. Snacks are hard boiled eggs, cheese, pickles, pickled okra, sugar free jello. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I guess it's my turn. 2018 was spent losing 60 pounds between diet and exercise. 2019 was spent getting kind of cut and testing for LEO jobs. 50/50 lifting and cardio. Probably was in the best shape of my life. 2020 my world changed along with everyone elses. I have stopped chasing LEO jobs but changed careers. The shutdown hit my gym for 3 months. I did bodyweight exercises at home but it's not the same. I also quit doing most cardio. After the gyms re-opened, I hit the weights really hard and started to put on some mass. 2021 has been a bit of a challenge for my fitness. I'm not yet part of the home gym master race but I will be. My new work schedule is basically 7pm to 8 or 9am, 5 nights a week. I am able to sneak in about 30 minutes at the gym on my way home but that's it until the weekend when I get 2 full workouts in. Push/pull/leg split 6 days a week with 1 rest day have been my program for years and I'll probably stay with it for the time being. So what do I want to accomplish this year? Hard to say. I'm at a weird point. I don't have any desire to get super strong but I'm going to really start going heavier on my lifts. My focus has always been staying lean with a eye towards endurance. I'm enjoying the mass I'm putting on so I think I'd like to add some more without putting on much fat. I know that's the hard way, but a clean bulk is more my speed. Also, I need to get my cardio back up to where it was. We welcome anyone trying to improve. |

Pretty stoked this morning. Hopped on the scale and I’m at 202.5, then pulled the tape and my measurement at the navel is 41.75”. I had started on 12-03-20 at 208.5 and 44”. I’ll be happy to continue on this trend!

I'll live whatever lifestyle it takes to walk on my own legs and eat with my own teeth at that age. |

I'm down 10.6 pounds since 12/27. Eating strictly Keto friendly foods and walking 4 miles every day. I have another 50 left to lose. I can get there by June if I stay on track.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm down 10.6 pounds since 12/27. Eating strictly Keto friendly foods and walking 4 miles every day. I have another 50 left to lose. I can get there by June if I stay on track. It's recommended to lose a max of 1% per week for at most 3 months. Then maintain that weight for 2/3 to as much time as you lost weight. This doesn't mean stop exercising or eat crap. Eat a healthy balanced diet but your goal is to neither gain or lose. I know this sounds like it will take forever to reach your goal but most people who lose a lot of weight at once gain most, all, or even more back. There's even some people in this thread that have done this. This will teach you how to stay at a weight and will give your body time to recover from the calorie deficit. |

I sat down one day when I was 21 and had sweet tea, spit it out. I've drank black tea straight for almost 20 years now. I just don't like sweet tea anymore. My wife thinks i'm communist.

I'll join since I've set some goals I want to hit this year.
Start weight (1/1/21): 252.2lbs Start lifting total: 1010lbs  Attached FileGoal weight: 215lbs. TBD, I should be heavier when I lean out than I was the last time my body fat was on the low end. Will adjust accordingly because the real goal is lower body fat. Lifting goal: 1200lbs. By itself I think I could Current weight (1/19): 241. A chunk of that was probably water coming off when I stopped creatine. |

A chunk of that was probably water coming off when I stopped creatine. Hey! First week or so doesn't tell you much. Some people lose a ton due to going low carb, sodium, or both and some don't lose much. It's week 2+ that shows you how you are doing. I don't like setting an end goal if that makes sense. It's much better to set a goal like 25 pounds in X time and then reassess after you get there. |

In.
Just started a log thread so I won't be cluttering this one up. Last 32 weeks have been focused on strength. Diet has been a straight up dirty bulk. It worked Currently 34, 5'11", 238.6lbs, 28.5% bodyfat (based on a dexa scan from a while ago at about 230lbs but not nearly as strong). Goal: 10% bodyfat, which should be at about 185lbs, then get back on the gain train, not to exceed 15% bodyfat. So, ~55lbs to lose.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Consider going down 30 and then 25 after a diet break. I know you don't care about rebound exactly since you will be "bulking" but you don't want to shoot back up too quickly either. |

Carbs, water, and salt can change your weight but it's most likely too many calories. I would reduce intake and reassess after a couple of weeks. |

Late to the thread but already got started on making changes this year.
I am 5'10" and as of monday this week I was at 188.9 lbs. Time to start lifting again and get the body weight up. I want to get to 210, but mostly I just want to be strong.  Here is the extent of my exercise currently. But this week I am starting again with 5x5 lifting.  |

Finished January at 237.4 (-14.8).
So the easy weight is off and the work downwards begins  Squat/Bench/OHP were on target. Deadlift not so much.

I’m in!
Been working on seriously trying to be lean now for about 6 months or so. I started around 225-230 depending on the day. In the beginning I mainly worked on eating healthier and cutting portions. For the past few months I’ve been tracking my calories using MyFitnessPal with a goal of 1600-1800. Had a Dexa scan done and as of right now I’m 6’ tall 188 pounds and 15.5 % body fat. Really want to see 12 % or less for the summer. Been a few halfass attempts to be lean but this time I’m sticking to it. Strength is down but I guess that’s to be expected. Before my best bench press was 315 for 8 and right now 2 reps is balls to the wall max. I can actually wear 30 waist Levi’s for the first time since high school.  Attached File |

 The struggle is real, but heading in the right direction in time for summer. The graph starts in 2012. Currently 6' @ 190. 180 seems to be the sweet spot because that's what I weighed coming out a boot camp 25 years ago.

I'll put a place holder in.
Snapped front and back pictures last week at 170 lbs. Doing super squats for the next 6 weeks. Squats, pullups, OHP every other day, shooting for a 20 rep set with my current 5rm by the end. We'll see how it goes, I'm 3 workouts in, subtracted 90 lbs from 185. My best 5rm is 225, but that was over a year ago, so I just used my last tested AMRAP that only got 5 reps, probably low because that was after 2 other sets, but we'll see if I can get it for 20 when I get there. Trying to add 4-5 lbs in the process. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was 165 coming out of boot. It was painfully skinny. I dropped from 195 down to that during boot camp. And I was in damn good shape when I went. Lost pull ups and sit-ups for my pft all the way through. Might not be the best judge of what weight you should shoot for unless you felt good at it. 185 puts me right at a BMI around 25, so I'd like to stay around there. I was 160 going into boot camp.  I really was aiming for the weight that would show a defined six pack (based on yt research), but I should really stop chasing that dream because I feel like I would look like a holocaust survivor at that weight (160). Damn you, summertime!

Started the new year at 196.6. Had been drinking 8 to 12 sugar sodas each week. Picked up a candy bar everytime I drove past a gas station. I work from home so that would be 2 or 3 times a week.
I completely cut out the candy bars and only had 4 sugar sodas in January. Dropped 2 pounds the first week in January. The rest of the month was up and down ending at 193.6. 1st week in Feb had a low point at 191.8 and a high of 194. I have learned that snacking on nuts to get you thru the day will not work. They might as well be candy. Raw veggies will have to due. Cutting portion sizes at meal time is the next for continued loss. |

Damn you, summertime!I wouldn't stop at 185 because anything less than that sounds low and you think you'll look thin. Just get there and then pinch around and see how much fat you have at that point. Visible abs really aren't a great indicator of sub 15% body fat like a lot think. Different people have different distributions of body fat and definition to their abs. |

Eat less if you aren't losing is the general goal but as you found out with nuts, not all foods are the same. Nuts are super healthy but they are very calorically dense. A handful of nuts is easily more calories than a soda. Look for foods that have low calories per gram or high volume that you like. They usually have a lot of water and/or fiber and will fill you up faster. Fresh or frozen fruits (except avocado), vegetables without added oil or dressing, potatoes without butter, popcorn, lean meat, whole grains, fat free dairy. Also, consider using artificial sweeteners instead of quitting sugar cold turkey if you have a sweet tooth. |
