>tfw lost 10lbs during January and lost 5lbs so far this month, starting from 210
>tfw I should get down to 160 or so by the end of may
>tfw I'll be shredded by summer
Down about 25 lbs since December. Feels great and I can fit in my pants again. I'm on that perma-cut though *sad feels*
Got another 60 lbs to lose before I start bulking
>>36033221
Hey serious question, Anyone get whoosh's? Like when the scale is stuck for weeka then overnight you lose 5-10 lbs. Why is this happening to me? Is there anyway to make my progress more linear?
Started at 6' 125
Now I'm at 124.5
Am I gonna make it, guys?
>tfw lost 100 and something kilos in 3 years
>>36033119
>didn't lift form September-December but keep eating like Rich Piniata
>gain 10kg of fat, start hitting the gym like all the other faggots on 1st of January
>track my calories, manage macros, hit the gym every day lifting/cardio, only one off-day, eat between 2000 and 2500 kcals at 6'2 225lbs
>been going hard at it for 6 weeks
>strength is back to original levels almost
>scale hasn't budged one milimeter, still sitting at 100kg
what the fuck is going on
I... Don't know.
Well, provided the scale doesn't lie, I've lost 3 kilos the last two weeks, which isn't bad. I just couldn't tell you how much of a deficit I'm on to save my life.
>Wake up
>Go to work
>Lunch at 1
>Eat two massive portions of whatever the cook serves up, usually some form of fish and taters
>Swamped with work 'till 6-7 in the evening
>Go home
>Dead tired, grab a protein shake or something if I feel like it
>Train
>Shuffle back inside, shower
>Collapse my ass to sleep
>>36033350
That's not a healthy life anon, and you know it
>>36033472
I know it's not, it's just a very busy season.
There's money to be made, and it clearly helps out with my sorely needed cut.
It's also pretty great, I'm only really hungry like an hour before lunch.
>>36033245
k-kilograms?
>>36033119
4 kilos left for me too OP. 42 kilos down, it's been a good ride but I'm so fucking glad it's nearly over. Almost bulking time baby!
>>36033244
Yup, happens to me too often. Cardio plus a bigger deficit usually does the trick for me.
Rate my meal
Down to 216 from 270 in August/September
>>36033566
You really could've served/prepared that to be more appetizing.
lost about 8lbs since November. Opted for a slower cut to keep as much muscle as possible but it's finally paying off and I'm 5% BF down with no changes in strength!
>>36033248
holy moley anon well done
>>36033119
12 more kilos, and its KILOING ME OLOL
5'11
Was 236lbs. Just weighed in at 215.
My goal was 205 but I might just keep going, not really seeing the fat come off like I figured it would look like. 190lbs might get me to where I thought 205lbs would have looked.
Overall is great it means I could cut down another weight class if I went back to fighting.

>>36033244
Happens to me, lose about 2 lbs overnight once a week.
>>36033244
Happens to me too. Usually I will lose 5lbs over night after days of the scale being stuck on the same number.
>>36033119
7 more kilos here
Im eating less and workout more. But there are days i dont even have the strenght to finish my lifts
Im resting only 1 day at week but i think ill have to rest one more day, slowing down my cut
What do /fit/?
>>36036277
compound based full body routine three times a week will give you the needed stimulus to your body to hold on to that muscle while giving you plenty of rest time. Its what i do everytime i do a cut and works every time.
Started cut 10/1:
6'3"
246lbs
I'd been trying to get a handle on my eating prior to that (for like a year), but I was unable to. I was too weak, mentally, to stay in control of my diet during the decline of my marriage over the past year.
12/15:
229lbs, lost a chunk off each lift, I blame my poor depression-nutrition during the cut. I would often stay between 1500-1700 cals just out of no motivation to eat, and would not make sure I crammed the protons I needed.
DL: 475 -> 455
Squat: 345 -> 315
Bench: 300 -> 290
OHP: 215 -> 195
1/15/16:
Weigh in after holidays, 233lbs
2/13/16:
224lbs
Haven't gone for another set of 1RMs in some time, but my nutrition is now on-point and my gym sessions are solid. I'm consistently very happy with the intensity I can exhibit.
Currently:
-Walk 3.5mph on 12 incline for 30 mins every morning before work
-5/3/1 mon-thurs, arms Fri. Rest Sat/Sun, sometimes do superficial lift's or complexes on Sat.
-2-2.2kcals/day, 220g protein
My current obstacle is weekend overeating.
>tfw weight fluctuates constantly
Pretty fuckin great so far
cutting at 1500kcal/day
lost 10 pounds already
girls are starting to notice more
things are lookin' up anon
Need some advice fellow cutters.
I'm 6'4" currently at 245lb (down from 295 since July) and was eating about 1800 kcal. Currently doing a push pull split 4 days a week (sessions are almost 2 hrs long). Probably high 20s/low 30s BF. Sedentary software dev job.
Was starting to feel like shit so I bumped up to around 2500kcal last week and feel great.
So my question is, what's my ideal intake if I wanna cut to like 210-215lb in the next few months and still keep gaining? I have a larger frame than usual so can hold a bit more weight than most people and still look decent.
Current intake is:
Carbs 263g (1052kcal, 42.48%)
Protons 204.5g (818kcal, 33.03%)
Fats 67.4g (606.6kcal, 24.49%)
2476.6 kcal total
Thanks anons
>>36036641
maybe try a 2000-2100 kcal cut for a couple of weeks and see how you feel with that, as long as you're on some sort of a deficit you're going to lose weight
>>36033539
is HIIT the most effect cardio?
>>36033119
It's been going bad for 15 years.
>>36033142
>160
>shredded
No, not shredded. Just DYELmode. I bet you are a NYR also
Down to the stubborn stomach fat after a six month bulk, had cut to this before that from fatass mode but this last bit of fat seems to take me forever to lose and back then I wanted to start putting on some muscle.
Excited to be sorta lean for the first time in my life.
>>36036688
Will do, thanks
>>36033142
it slows down, my nigga. don't expect to lose 10lbs a month the entire time.

>mfw I'm not gonna make it
>>36033244
Yea.. Once a week. I don't lose a single digit then all of a sudden there goes a kilogram and never comes back.
>>36033566
10/shit
6 weeks into my 12 week cut.
My plan was to go from 89kg to 77kg but Im at 79kg already, feels real good.
Gonna see if I can hit my goal in the next two weeks then reassess what I do with the last 4 weeks, probably just cut more if my lifts are still ok.
>>36033244
yes
recently was at 150...151...151...then one morning 148.6.
just keep at it
>>36033119
Lost 7 kg, 18 left to go.
>>36037049
Fat fuck detected
>>36038149
cheer up, the hardest part is getting started
the rest is routine and persistence.
>>36033244
Same here, stuck at 84kg for 2 weeks, oh sit plateau, then start of the 3rd week, 82kg, end of that week 80kg, WTF?
Cut from 250 to 220 in summer, took a break, now down from 220ish and have been stalling at 212. Im getting stronger and more defined though, so I think I might be losing fat and gaining muscle with my weight staying the same. Drank a lot last weekend though, so not looking forward to weighing myself tonight at the jim :/
>>36038168
+100
Consistency is the key, take every day as it comes and play the long game, and remember that just one day can ruin your whole week
cut till you reach your desired bodyfat (this means being vascular + abs)
then bulk slowly
dont make my mistake which was bulking before getting really lean, im on my second cut now and that's the plan.
I'm working my hardest, running and going to the gym but my progress isn't that fast :((((
What do I do, what do I eat, how do I cut ;_;
>>36038261
iktf. losing barely 1lb/week its taking forever. Down 80 lbs over the last few years though, just so ready to bulk.
So I started at 170 in the beginning of January (the timing was pure coincidence). I'm currently at 159.
About a year ago I was down to 145 after being mega fat for years (I started at 250). I wasn't lifting. Just 2 years of counting calories. I then started lifting and eating a bit more and put on 25 pounds. I'm not sure what my BF was at 145 but I definitely couldn't see my abs and I was weak as fuck (I'm still DYEL but nowhere near as bad as then) so if I had to guess if say 18% or more. it was probably only around 20% when I was at 170. I did a pretty good job of slowly gaining weight and eating lots of protein so I'm reasonably sure almost all the weight was muscle, I just still had a good amount of stubborn fat on me. Currently I'd estimate it at about 13%, I've go a lot more definition in my abs and elsewhere now. The only problem is, I did the math, for me, 7%, assuming my lean weight remains unchanged will be around 148-149 pounds. It kinda seems believable since all of my muscles are visibly bigger than they were the last time I was around this weight (6 months ago). But that just seems way too low. I've heard of people bulking and cutting the same 20-25 pounds before. Does it look like I'm accidentally doing that? I've never done this before.
>>36037049
5' 11, 153 lbs in this pic. 160 lbs at a low body fat isn't DYELmode unless you're a lanklet.
>>36036435
Your musclea are waning... Need more calories depending on your stats and how active are. I suggest at least 1800-1900 kcal.
