How's the cut going faggots?
Hang in there, we're all gonna make it
>>36895041
so frickin' close to my next subgoal, which also happens to be getting under 100kg, but my weight has stalled for the past few days, despite eating less than usual, probably since I have to prepare midterms and don't have time to exercise until they're over.
I keep hoping to wake up to a scale under 100 but noooo
Have to cut at 1850kcal due to LBM loss from injuries and de-training. Calculated LBM is around 155lbs @ 6'1, shit sucks breh.
>on a cut
>friend comes over
>he wants to make deep fried green beans and loaded potato skins
>I fry and bake them
>he digs in, looks at me and asks if I'm gonna eat too
>no thanks
>he stops eating it and I end up throwing the rest away
Yesterday he told me he wants to start eating healthy and exercising.
Now I just have to convince him to lift more than 25lbs like he's planning.
We're all gonna make it.
Just measured my bodyfat from a week ago. No progress. Feels bad man but feels good I didnt gain any. Holding steady at 12.5%bf.
We must cut deeper.
>>36895041
>tfw strongfat, cutting from 265lbs, ~28%
>down to ~252
>losing a pound of fat per week at 3500kcal per day
>literally eating fast food
>no weaker yet as far as I can tell
>up to 6+ pull ups
Feels good. Gonna start doing high frequency squats again soon. I want to squat 5pl8 again by the end of the year, only with abs this time.
> Binged like 3 times this week
> When I did I only approximated to my TDEE
> Mfw
>tfw 139 lbs
I'm gonna make it guys, just nine more to go! I just need to start sprinting. People already compliment my weight loss now.
>>36895217
Are you 4 feet tall
I was 5 kilos away from my goal but I fucked up. Maybe next year
>>36895238
I'm king of manlets size.
5'10", currently recovering skeltal at 157 pounds. Will 160 be a pretty good point to stop my slow bulk and go on a short cut?
>>36895041
Losing weigh every week. lower stomach fat won't go away. it is making me think I am just losing muscle but I am staying consistent with my strength levels. fuck my fat distribution.
>>36895041
12 down 90~100lbs to go
>>36895288
Generally you should bulk to 15% and cut to 10%, as a natty.
>>36895325
How am I doing?
>>36895336
what am i looking at anon?

>>36895354
interesting, are you supposed to go that low?
>>36895041
>25 days into cut
>bench down by 5kg
>squat down 5kg
>supposed to be getting better at pullups
>getting worse at them
I want off this ride lads, I didn't know it would be so bad.
>>36895368
Normally no, most ppl can't and some even believe is dangerous but if I can do it why not right?
Been losing weight insanely fast I was around 210lbs around this time last year and didn't start dieting until June or July I'm 111lbs now
>>36895336
Dude, just keep it at a steady cut. Calorie cycling isn't going to get you good results.
>>36895386
I rarely ever lose strength on a cut, IDKTF.
Also lower reps before weight. Intensity > Volume
>>36895416
hmmm well i won't comment on the science or health but. I commend you for the willpower to go through with that.
>>36895041
Today I ate oats for breakfast and I didn't get hungry until 4pm! I'm so happy! Normally I'm hungry all the time and I've started to fear that I might not make it, so that was a cool boost
>>36895422
It's steady at don't go over 500/day the spike you see there on the 17th was a rare fuck up because I decided to take some first aid classes with some friends and they had the great idea to go eat out as well...
>>36895041
Great. Down from 256 to 239.
>>36895432
LCDs aren't hard to adhere to if they're structured properly, but are considerably harder when you're leaner. Fat asses just rapidly consume their bodyfat whilst leaner individuals tend to cannibalize muscle faster.
>>36895488
This
I should say that I'm okay with this because I, don't care about muscle just being thin and /fa/ but as this board is /fit/ and people care so much about muscle I strongly recommend not to do it
>>36895416
Good job, senpai. Next summer you'll be about 15 pounds.
>>36895519
What happens when he reaches 0? Will anon collapse on himself and become a black hole? Will he ascend and become one of the /fit/ demigods?
How much kg should I lose in a week?I lost like 3 kgs now and its been almost 1 month.I'm making it or just losing muscle?I'm 173 manlet 79 kg now.I went 50 to 86 pushups this month.And tell me guys what's the best food to not to feel hungry.I don't feel hungry at work but when I'm at home damn I feel like I can eat like an elephant.
>>36895519
Ha, weight goal was all along 110lbs I'm going to go down to 105 though because of how little I eat my metabolism has slowed down tremendously so when I start eating at my maintenance again I'll gain those 5 pounds and hopefully stay there, if not I'll just lose the rest again in a week and try again, will probably have to do this 2 or 3 times till my body gets used to normal eating again
Getting so close to being done. Down 25lbs
It's coming along super well 10 more lbs to go and I'm at my goal. I just can't wait to start my next bulk.
>>36895041
currently keeping a journal of everything I eat daily. getting lean already. On around 4,000 calories a day. I do a fuck ton of walking and running. Maintaining strength.
>>36895565
You're a girl right anon? Are you the Graph person or what, I'm confused as shit.
>>36895041
Down to 202 from 215.
Pretty good fit friends
>>36895041
It's difficult but I'm making some nice really short goals everyday
>tfw knew I was going to drink with friends last night
>ate lighter throughout the day to prepare
>had a good workout
>drank all I wanted at night
>still lost a pound
>>36895555
As far as I've understood, calories make you feel full, but empty calories are burnt through quickly and leave you hungry again quickly. Try eating fiber-rich food like oats and whole-grain bread (with stuff on top ofc), because fiber takes longer to break down and stays in your system longer, which makes you feel full longer.
But specifically being hungry when home is probably because you know you have food at home. It's a mental thing and everyone gets it. Knowing that there is something delicious withing reach makes you hungry. There's not much to do about it, you just have to learn to identify when you are actually hungry as opposed to when you just want food.
not very good senpai, ordered the 2 medium 2 topping plus parmesan bread deal from dominoes and decoured that shit in 10 min last night on top of my daily caloric limit. 24 hr fast here i come..
>>36895669
Alcohol can cause massive water flushing.
>Get trashed a few weeks ago
>Wake up 10lbs lighter
>>36895679
Don't do it m8. You're gonna throw yourself into a binge cycle, just get back on the wagon.
>>36895675
Thanks man.I was itching not to eat all the food I can find in the fridge.
>>36895555
171 manlet here
Went from 77 to 69 in 6 weeks with intermittent fasting and reduced carbs portions (77 to 71 in 4 weeks, but only 71 to 69 in the last two weeks because I had a lot of cheat days, because you know, I have a life). I surprisingly did not lose much strength
PS : I know, I have dyel weight, but my goal is qt muscular twink and I achieved it
>>36895687
>>36895669
Yeah, alcohol dehydrates you a lot, and most people are lighter in the morning anyway.
>>36895598
I'm a guy and yeah I'm the one who posted the graph
I use cronometer to keep track of my calories, gives you some pretty neat and useful charts.
starting on monday
all will go as planned
>>36895707
I'm doing intermittent fasting too.Looks like I should decrease my daily calorie intake.
>>36895706
IKTFM. I usually go buy all my groceries for the month at once, and those first days when my fridge is stacked with all sorts of goods are really hard.
Down from 245 to 218.
Just another 18 lbs to go.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2alHCNpx7A
>>36895747
relatable
Trying to go from 218 down to 175.
I'm 6'1" and I have kinda stalled at 192-194.
>>36895544
>black hole
>zero mass
How dumb are you? Seriously, why are there so many retards on /fit/ recently?
>>36895722
Why the fuck are you wanting to be 110lbs?
>>36895907
I like myself thin
>>36895796
I'm in the exact same situation
>>36895921
Pls be a turbo manlet because anything else would make you borderline Ana.
right now 170 lbs and like 20 percent body fat
mostly trying to cut to like 160 by running and mostly eating vegan although im gonna start eating chicken again and go lower carb
>>36895933
I'm skipping lunch now and just completed a 24 hour fast.
>>36895941
How short is turbo manlet?
>>36895972
If you are going to be 110lbs as a man you better be under 5'3"
>>36895972
less than 170 i guess
>>36895977
I'm 5'7, still not tall so is not really as bad as you make it sound
>>36895135
>deep fried green beans and loaded potato skins
what is this?
>>36895991
Post bod
>>36895831
Ok nerd
>6pm
>had nothing since lunch except for coffee
>4 cals left
i need to stop eating big meals
My ribcage is showing but I still have love handles and fat lower stomach. I feel like if I keep cutting to lose the fat there ill look Auschwitz everywhere else, what do I do?
>>36896047
that sounds so stupid lmao just because you took 1 more cal than you should doesnt mean you will get fat
>>36896070
lift?
Starting off as a skinnyfat, cutting at 1250 calories eventhough I'm 6'1. I hate being this hungry but I can't bulk cause I'll get fatter.
I hope this will be worth bulking from skeleton-mode once I do get skinny.
Doing steady at 2000 kcals
Losing between 1 and 2 lbs a week so I'm happy so far. Only 6 weeks left.
>>36896011
Go into the thinspo thread on /fa/ will be the 5th image counting Ops
B&W replicating a picture that got posted right below mine
>>36895135
are potatoes bad? I'm eating like 1 half small potato a day in my cut
>>36895041
Down 4kg in 2 weeks, only like... 50kg to go
Protip: associate the feeling of being hungry with burning fat. Try to extend it for as long as you can before eating
>>36895041
from 162 to 143. just a few more to go already have upper abs showing when i flex then lean bulking for sure.
>>36896143
Make it a sweet potato and you can feel less guilty about your lack of discipline
>>36896088
yeah but i like to stick to it otherwise i will go like 500 cals over
i calculated it wrong anyway, i've got 150 cals left so i think i'll just have some oats or something
>>36896145
How big are you?
>>36896160
but... im boiling them not frying them.
>>36896162
180cm, 124kg now, was 128kg
>>36895386
Keep in mind you will gain back all your losses and more in your first week of bulking, no joke. Your body is weak since you have no energy.
Day 25/90
2040 Kcals per day
Abs are now visible when i push my fat down on my stomach.
Back looks more defined.
Love handles are still there.
>tfw no v taper
Progress is slow.
>>36895041
It's going good! Started January 15th at 92kg, currently at 79kg. 180cm.
I have being intermittent fasting, and as of the last month have experimented with a keto diet. Carb-up day is tomorrow and i'm gonna drink beers, eat pizza, and watch hockey.
>>36896105
It will make it a hell of a lot easier plus you look better with the lower bodyfat. That way you can bulk from 10% to 15% rinse & repeat instead of getting up to 25% and wasting time on a long ass cut. Hang in there bro, you'll make it.
>>36895255
Back at it, anon. One fuck up doesn't ruin a cut
>>36895041
Pretty good, except I completely fucked my chit up on Thursday and Friday when I ate a ass ton of Chinese food, a can of soda, some cake and various other shit that I haven't eaten in months. I gained a couple pounds but I'm gonna get back to it today. Lost 27 pounds so far tbqh
>>36897083
keep going brev...lost 75 lbs here and whenever i eat stuff like chinese food i go from like 170 to 176
just keep working out and stay hydrated
>>36895386
Check your macros, your stats shouldn't be going down on a cut that quickly. Whats your calorie deficit youre shooting for? You may just need to eat more nutrient dense foods.
>>36896126
Nigger this is you? What the fuck senpai? You're going to die, it doesn't even look /fa/ aesthetic, it just looks disgusting, full Auschwitz mode. At least try to go for a regular skelly look or ottermode retard.
>tfw its almost dinner time
thank fucking god
>>36895041
I WILL be 100kg and be the greatest backyard football player to ever exist
>>36898486
Yeah haha,
But as I said I was just replicating that other pic, I'm not even that skinny I was sucking in my tummy plus the pose makes it look like even more exaggerated. But yeah 7 more pounds to go still
>>36899517
It's still disgusting that you can do that
>tfw loose skin
JUST
>>36895280
5'11?
explain how moisturizing skin can help tighten it
I figure it would have the opposite effect
Why do apparently so many people not track calories and instead use some kind of "discipline" and "clean food" broscience?
>>36899517
If you're that skinny and are still cutting, then I guess nothing's going to stop you from getting down there now.
But seriously, consider eating normal amounts of food RIGHT afterwards. Like, "Yay, I got down to 130! Time to eat like a normal person now." You won't suddenly get fat, and if you work out enough, you'll put on muscle, not fat.
>>36899614
5'10 is king of manlets
5'11 is emperor of manlets
5'12 is galactic conqueror of manlets
>>36899853
He said he's 5'7", btw. 5'10" sad that I can't be 6' race here. I always thought 5'10 was prince, 5'11 was king, 6' was non-manlet.
>>36895041
I fucked up my cut really, really badly and I've been on a month long food and beer binge.
So not going so great.
>>36895315
Same here. Lower stomach and chest are my problem areas. Arms, shoulders and legs look pretty gnarly, though.
>>36895041
This last week I've gotten my cut back on track. I've ended up doing kind of an IF routine because I don't really like breakfast, so I've got some Yohimbine HCL for the fasting periods to hopefully lose some extra fat. We'll see if it helps.
Back down to lowest weight since Middle school, another 6.5 pounds till my goal weight of 150 lbs at 5'10.
Recovering fatty turned recovering skelly here. A few attempted cuts but gains goblin gf got in the way. She's gone now.
>nearly 1 month in
>68kg
>should be 10% at 63kg
Thank you IF.
W-we can do its brehs
Do you weight yourself every morning or just once a week? Are there weird weight fluctuations when you measure it every day?
>>36895336
>luaghinggrills.jpg
>he can't even label his axes
Down from 315 in September to 277 now.
Am I gonna make it?
I'm not eating anything today
then tomorrow will be the first day of eating an orange a day for week
I hope it goes well
I have been eating less than 500 cals since January now (ate more on special occasions)
It's going great, I'll probably reach my goal at the start of june
>>36900864
Every morning and log it
There can be some weird day to day fluctuations, don't worry too much about it, just as long as you're consistently heading in the right direction
>>36900864
Personally, I do it once a week. I get too autistic about the day-to-day fluctuations.
>>36895041
Plateaued at 280 for two weeks, resolved to get my shit back in gear - already blew past 272. 130 pounds down, 72 more to go.
>somewhere outside the finish line I square up and break through the chains
>>36901100
you got this bro
we're all gonna make it
>>36901100
Man am I bad at math. Started at ~430 - that's 160 pounds down.
Holy shit. I've lost more mass than what half the people on this board weigh.
>>36901108
>mfw
>>36895336
>>36895416
height/gender? You sound anorexic as fuck unless you are a 5'2" grill
>>36901011
You crazy, son. You're going to be losing both fat and muscle mass - not to mention endangering your health.
Find a copy of Lyle McDonald's Rapid Fat Loss Handbook. It's exactly what you're looking for.
>>36901152
I don't have time, I have to lose 10 kgs in less than two months so theres no other plan for me, ill check that out tho thanks
>>36895796
>>36895933
Same situation here too. We're all gonna make it.
>>36896156
Interesting advice. I will try this.
>>36895386
Your body isn't going to lose strength that quick mate. That 5kg loss is all in your head.
been doing keto down 15 pounds
my calories for today
rule of thumb if your lifts aren't going down are you not losing muscle mass?
I know some muscle loss can be expected on a cut. I'm on a sorta agressive cut atm but my lifts haven't gone down, so am I good?
>>36895041
Started at 205lbs in January. Didn't know what the fuck I was doing. Worked out a lot, building muscle but not losing weight. Finally decided to read to sticky.
>calories in calories out
Lost 25lbs since then. 6'0 180lbs now. I have 3 weeks til the end of the semester. Trying to lose 10lbs by then. The thought of a badass before/after set keeps me motivated. I'm at -1200 for the day.
>>36901169
You could achieve that easily on a 1200-1000 calorie deficit. You need nutrients man. Don't rush it you might fuck your shit up.
>>36901139
5'7 boi
>>36901197
>>36896156
I absolutely do this. Hunger doesn't bother me very much at all anymore, certainly not that debilitating "omigawd how can I not eat" feeling I used to have. Now I control my eating--my eating bends to meet my goals, not the other way around. Feels good senpai.
>>36899517
you have no weight left to lose
you're actually anorexic and should talk to a doctor
>>36895667
I recognize that wood plank
How much weight can you loose per week while keeping most muscle mass?
Lost ~2% bf in a month still see myself the same in the mirror. Not so good.
>>36896105
5'11 160 lbs 18% bf. Same problems as you. We gonna make it?
>>36904952
Bump interested in this
help me /fit/ but it's been so long
>>36895041
Holding steady at about a pound per week lost
Had surgery last week.
Can't train (stiches)
Can't cut (it might heal worse)
fuck me
5'7 18 and about 23% bf. was 250 pounds 2 years ago and fucked up my testosterone levels by dieting to 156 pounds. Bulked to 174 now and will start cutting tomorrow. PSMF for 2 weeks to kickstart the weight loss then keto untill 10% BF. I will do another blood test at the end of my PSMF to get those low test levels and maybe get on TRT.
>>36895041
Feels good famalam.
I'm 178 cm (5'10) and went from 108 Kg (238 lbs) to 96 Kg (211 lbs) in 2 months and a half.
I haven't started lifting yet though.
>ate 6 muffins yesterday
>>36902007
What software is that? Been doing keto for the last months and a half and want more options than MFP
Fat bastard here, started at 335.9lbs and down to 316.6lbs. Long way to go and i guess imma have a load of loose skin but i'll deal with that when i get there. Just gotta take this one day at a time.
>Started
292.3
>Current
226.1
Been stuck in this range for about 2 months. Still on a diet and my running pace as well as lifts are all going up so I'm not exactly pissed, just want the gut down. Work in progress but we're getting there.
Back on keto now.
>>36895041
Losing weight but no difference on bodyfat. Really dont know what to do
>>36907049
What's your routine?

Im doing PHUL upper/lower routine.

Just 2 more pounds. Fuck the Hawks.
>>36900864
just go once a week
>>36904952
as much as you want afaik, just make sure to eat more protein. i'm on a 1000 cal deficit but eating about 150-160g of protons a day and have barely lost any strength 6 weeks in, haven't lost any muscle but am looking bigger because less fat.
