Increased my calorie goal to 2200
My TDEE is so much higher than in used to be! I am always on my feet0 -
Also I might be taking the day off from logging friday.
My roommate/best friend turned 21! So we are having a party
I haven't drank in months. This will be interesting xD0 -
Nice!! You seem super active so 2200 is surely weight loss
For you. I love birthday parties. I hope you have fun!0 -
Putting this pic up here! Butt has made a lot of progress since i started my cut xD
I am starting to think I look thin. At least from this angle xD What do you guys all think. Stop after the 8 weeks and maintain? Or just a little more to be a little more "ripped" (bulking again in december after I see my boyfriend)0 -
Maybe I just look thin because of the angle? Or i'm crazy xD Here are a few other angles so you can see what im talking about
Side view I look tiny
Front view not so much. Damn thighs -.-
Thought? Opinions? Advice?

You're definitely looking thin. I can't imagine you doing more than 8 weeks.0
-
The only place im not satisfied with are my thighs. Not as lean as I would like. Too bad spot reducing doesn't exist right? xD
I will just have to deal with it for now. After a long lean bulk I will feel better 0 -
how many weeks do you have left?0
-
Only 2 more weeks actually!0
-
already looking very slim but it's only 2 weeks haha0
-
Oh yea thats why I am going to finish it xD
More after the 8 week cut is what I am trying to figure out0 -
So after 2 weeks what will you do? Mid month so no scale. Are you going to just increase to maybe 2500 or so and weigh in November 1st?0
-
Love how do you read my mind? xD
That was my thinking! I was thinking about ending the 8 week cut and taking pictures. Then having only a 200-250 cal deficit until November, then maintain until I see my boyfriend Then slow bulk!
What do you think?0 -

What do you think?
I think that's quite wise. While eating ~2000 calories a day you lost about 1.25 pounds per week--so that's equivalent to a 600 deficit or thereabouts. Meaning maintenance is about 2600 calories...I think you should eat about 2400-2500 a day once you finish with this cut cycle. DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF and then weigh in come November. Pictures and measurements upon completing the cut are all you need.
I think that's a fantastic idea. You can maintain till you see the BF, slow bulk, then cut 8 weeks before summer starts. Sound like a plan?0 -
Been a little MIA this week... midterms!0
-
Looking at your pics i dont think you look to thin, but i always think it shows most in girls on their arms. You always look leaner in slight tilt to the side shots IMO0
-
Never thought about arms actually! That is a good point
And I agree with you, side shots make me look lean, but front view is not my favorite.0 -
I don't think side shots are most flattering for MOST PEOPLE--yours are very telling. You are thin-sick, gross, stick-like, no but you're thin.0
-
agreed. hate side shots!0
-
SO here is the plan everyone.
I am going to start maintaining November 1st and will start my next bulk in mid december or so. I am as lean as I was before! But I am estimating about 5lbs heavier. Last time I was this lean I was close to underweight! I am about 10 lbs away from that now, so its time to stop and maintain for a bit
Will post pictures November 1st when I weigh in (haven't weighed all October). I am bloated beyond belief from little sleep (3-4 hours per night) and crazy stress from midterms.0 -
I did take some pictures of my food! But haven't got around to posting them so here we go:
Fruit pilaf:
overnight oats with blueberry and cinnamon:
tuna noodle casserole:
baked banana bread oatmeal:
Nothing special since I haven't had time to actually cook!0 -
Also thought this would be something to post.
This is just yesterday. I had PT, walked to class, and normal stuff I do everyday. Only thing that changed was I did a zumba class last night. I don't workout for hours on end and still burn so much
and I am only 5ft30 -
Sunshine--that's incredible. Great burn. I think you're doing fab. you look great and youre fueling your body--your next bulk/cut cycle will probably get you close to your goal.
How will you approach maintenance calories? Increase to BMF burn--eat what the prior day's burn was?0 -
Those stats from the BMF are incredible. Also, you have done incredibly during this cut - its amazing the progress you have made.0
-
Thank you so much guys!
The only portion i need to work on is the sleep part! heh
Not really sure how I was going to maintain actually! Haven't thought about it
I usually am not in bed until 12-2am depending on the night, so I will be able to see what my daily TDEE was and eat at that 0 -
Thats a sweet deficit there sunshine! General energy levels still good?0

Maybe just a 250 deficit from the BMF for a few weeks to see what happens. Give it a shot for 2 weeks, weigh, reassess.0 -
great food and solid plan it seems You certainly are active! 0

Hello all! Sunshine, I'll be following you along so that I can learn something from you if that's alright Great job already, by the way! Very inspiring! 0
