If you're interested.
I've joined my friends for an 8 weeks Challenge both working out and nutrition Starting tomorrow Sunday sept 25
we can do the same challenge here, what you need to do:
Take a before pic, you don't need to post it, it's for you to compare and motivate after the 8 weeks are done
Take your body measurements, chest, natural waist, lower ab waist, hip, thighs, arms, write it down on a paper
write down your goals, what will you do in the coming 8 weeks to lose weight? like no more snacking unless it's a snack time according to your meal plan, more water, no bread, 3 times a week cardio ,,,etc (you may post it here or keep it to yourself but if you post it you'll be more committed)
Well, my goal for the next few months is bulking. Not losing weight. Although I suppose I could still post about it, right?
any special requirements for me then? Lol 0 -
I do apologize if this is a temptation for you or doesn't fit in your macros but looking for some ideas.
I'm staying on this low carb low to moderate fat high protein for another few months and might even become a lifestyle as I feel good though not easy and limited food options but I need chocolate in my life so I found this Protein Nutella Recipe
I've tried it with unsweetened cocoa powder and one tsp Stevie plus the other ingredients but didn't taste good, any ideas?

What I'm trying to do next is: coconut oil, melt chocolate chunk (need to check if it has sugar, haven't bough it yet), protein powder and see how it goes.0 -

In your case you need to focus on building muscles, focus on getting stronger and see those weights go up, proper recovery time, eating the right food pre and post workout and in this case you need carbs, are you adding carbs?0 -

Yes I'm trying a Targeted Keto Diet. So pre-workout I'll consume about 25-30g of carbs (dextrose, not fructose), and post workout I drink a protein shake with a serving of Creatine Monohydrate.0 -
Sweet. The next time I bulk I'll be doing a smart bulk too. But first I need to lose more bf%
So are you joining? Do take a before pic for you it will be focusing on muscle mass 0 -

Sure I'll join. I'm not sure if I'll have visible changes in 2 months (my next progress pic was due end December - but oh well).
I'm also starting with a high bf. 29-30ish%. So chances are, I'll get fat, or look fat if I do gain muscle. (I'm supposed to eat at maintenance, so I might make some newb gains without actually gaining weight).
But I don't really care. It's easier to lose fat than it is to put on muscle.1 -
I'm in! I'd like to stay Keto and lose 15 more pounds in the next 8 weeks.
The challenge ends on my wedding anniversary. That will be added motivation!!1 -
Awesome. So for those who are joining the challenge. Take your before pic, body measurement tomorrow. The challenge start tomorrow. Yay let's kick some fat

I had something g really hit me in the head today. I lifted the big *kitten* box of cat litter and it's heavy. I noticed it was 50 lbs....I've lost that and will loose another half a box by Christmas!! there is no way I could carry that heavy box around all day everyday... no wonder my knees hurt.4
