6 Week Fat Loss Challenge

[SFreed]

I'm overdoing on work. There oughta be some kind of law or something....

 

[HIT4ME]

Intense day today. Worked out with the weights early afternoon, spent a couple hours moving a ton of stuff out of my house and into a dumpster which was moderate exercise, then spent 75 minutes on the exercise bike at low intensity. Fitbit is saying I've burned close to 3400 calories today...should end around about 3600-3700 calories. Intake has been about 800 calories.
FireTitan SFreed hairygrandpa BEAST73 josun habajaba RegisterJr justhere4comm travwj - how you guys doing?

Have you all started? Wondering how you guys all plan to accomplish this...we are talking a 10,500 calorie per week deficit on paper...probably more than that in life. How is this going for you guys?

Monday for me. Had out of state meetings Thursday and Friday, then 13 hour workdays both today and tomorrow. Then I'll be hittin it hard! (at least until Wednesday, when I have to drive my Mom to southern Missouri to see some relatives).

 

[habajaba]

I'm on vacation this week. So I'm basically trying to abstain from as much as I can without making vacation no fun. But I'm still working out, so I'm "playing for the tie" as they say, this week. Back at it full force next week, sir.

My plan was to stick with my 1500-1700 and that should get me 10# over the 6 wks. Worried I'll be gaining enough muscle to offset fat loss right now. Epidrone helped me drop some out of the gate, but it's leveling off even though there is a definite recomp happening. Won't know til I try though.

In a couple weeks, I'm taking my Epidrone log to the next level by adding Sup3r-4. Thinking that may add some weight too.

Either way, I'ma give it a shot starting a week from Monday when I am home.

 

[travwj]

Started today and it was a rest day, so just dropped my cals and will hit the gym early Monday morning. Looking to up the intensity with my training and try and get some SSC after work.

Im here and already getting this started. Hit the scale this morning and down to 219.2, so Im thinking its going in the right direction. Yesterday was 1,060 calories, 198 protein, and 46 carbs. Will be some lifting and cardio today.

 

[HIT4ME]

Photos taken today, weighed in at 173.6 after being stuck for around a month between 175-178. Beginning of day 5 I believe.

Nice one. That's a good start. It's always good to break a plateau and see some changes either on the scale or in the mirror.

I was in the gym early this morning to get in a leg session that focuses on hammies and glutes with a bit of quads. Followed it up with a 10 minute cool down on the treadmill.

Should be a physical day for me at work today giving bomb crew a hand to load a shot.

 

[wesb2387]

I'll be starting up tomorrow guys. Took this pic a couple days ago. Starting weight is 231lbs.

Should I be making a separate thread for my log? Or are we all consolidating are stuff in this thread?

Yes, I was hoping this would push me past my sticking point. Got people like you working hard, so I have to step up too!

Absolutely. Feeling "unstuck"

Wesb - you are looking jacked. You going for the full 18? I think you'll be ripped. As far as the logs - everyone is free to start their own logs or post here. I kind of feel like this is a group effort and this thread is for everyone. The more posting and updates, the more momentum and that will motivate everyone. I know in my log, I have had a ton of you guys pushing me and it's been incredibly helpful - I want to help pay that back and create a river that everyone is part of, if that makes sense. I want everyone telling us about their successes, their hard times, how they dropped the ball, how they picked it up again, etc.

Nice man. You are like Dorian Yates, aka the shadow - he used to go quiet all year and then just show up and take the trophy.

haha - you're pics are good man. I think I probably have the worst pics of everyone, so if I can post up, you can. At least I didn't have to post my May 10th starting pics in here, from when I was 210-215.

That's still low carbs and if you need it, you need it. When being extreme, you have to listen to what your body is - this is aggressive and extreme, not stupid.

Thanks man, I'm gonna try for the full 18lbs but, we'll see. Honestly I don't care what my weight ends up at, I just wanna look good and maybe have an ab or two visible haha.

Second this!

I'm working on the jiggle. Today my fit it says I've burned 3900 calories. I've take in 800. This weekend alone I've probably created a deficit of almost 1.5 pounds of fat. Hope I didn't take out too much muscle with it.

 

[josun]

I'll be starting my cut on the 26th
This is what I'm gonna be running
Epic unleashed
I'm gonna take ignite and bloodshed but I will rotate them ignite one day bloodshred the other
Evomuse dcp
Evomuse brite
I also have shift but I might stop using it, It's been rough on my stomach
And I also have ol trump, but I'm not sure If i should run it during a cut

I did for a while. Was rocking the warrior diet. It consists of a 4 hour window of eating followed by 20 hours of fasting. But you kill 2000-2500 cals in those 4 hours. Lost 7lbs in the first 6 days. It has been proven to not only burn fat, but simultaneously build muscle.

Yea dude, I've been doing this for a while now. I crush food for like 3 hours starting around 6pm then I crash. It's probably the easiest diet in the world. The trick is to just stay stimmed out all day haha. Minimum 4 coffees.

Me too. Rough at first, until you get used to it. Now it's NBD

No progress for me. I haven't even been in the gym since then. I'll make it up when life slows down.

 

[travwj]

I won't weigh myself again until Saturday. Also in it for longer than 6 weeks, so cals won't be drastically dropped.

Today was the first time in about 2 months that i have done any real pressing movements, as i injured something in my shoulder. Strength is definitely gone, and it makes you notice just how engaged your core is while bench pressing.

Will try and do some ssc this evening.

Sony should incorporate the BF feature. Every time a obese kid wants to play, it measures BF first. Is the kid too fat, it shuts the machine down and gives the kid an electric smack. LOL!

So here we go. Food intake today (might want to step back HIT4ME) 3 eggs scrambled with jalapenos, 1/3 cup of avocado and 1/2 cup spinach. 12 ounces of chicken, 2 cups broccoli, 3 tablespoons of hummus, 3 celery stalks 6 ounces of salmon and 2 cups swiss chard. Puts me at about 1700 calories. My TDEE last fall (when I borrowed my wife's Fitbit hr for a week to track calories burned ish) was 2773 kcals. I'll eat this same stuff probably 80% of the time, so it's easy to track. After the rough last four days, I really wasn't feeling the workout but went anyway. Ended up doing a modified Pull workout, since it was about 17:00 before I got to the gym and it was packed. Body weight pull ups to warm up, lat pull down (3 x 8 reps 145,160, 175) bent over barbell rows (3 x 8 105, 135, 165) cable rows (3 x 8 130, 145, 145). Then superset high pulley face pulls with low pulley cable rows. 20 minutes of ab work and finished with 30 minutes on a spin bike.
Not much for a workout, but better than sitting on the couch watchin tv. Which is what I really wanted to do.

Well, I had a long day at work today and I failed at completing my weight workout. Just didn't have it in me. Probably should have waited another day. But I had a refeed tonight, so that should help.

Great start man. 1,000 calorie deficit isn't anything to laugh at and if you can add in 509 cals of exercise, that's a pound every two days. And great job getting a workout in when you were tired.

 

[SFreed]

Problem is that my upcoming trip is deep into the area where fried chicken is considered acceptable breakfast food, along with most everything else. And I'm pretty sure I'll be expected to consume a fair amount of grits, gravy and assorted cobblers. If I can make it through this week and stay under 190, I'll be happy. I also hope that somewhere in West Plains Missouri I can find a gym that I can pay to go workout at least once while I'm there.

Not sure how long I'll be able to maintain that deficit though. I may end up bouncing between 1700 and 2200, depending on how I feel any given day.
