    I am finishing up my bulk and start my cut on monday! This might be a good group to join....


    YAY! Need some girls :smile: I really thought there would be more interest in this considering that the majority of people on this site are generally here losing weight? :indifferent:

    WHat do we think about putting the judging to the masses. At the end just start a thread and see who gets most votes?

    Is this a group or forum post? I'm considering it but can't get pics till Wednesday night.
    Never actually done a 'cut' before although obviously I've spent more than a few years on the slow & steady bulk.
    I may be suffering a bit of bro science here but cutting the cals is what you mean but cut yeah? If I do that will I mess my metabolism? Im asking serious questions there

    What's the official start date? Maybe I'll "start" with you and begin dieting in a week and a half or so. I'm in a position where I can't really give it my all at the moment.

    What do you think about the timeframe Marky judge ?
    8 weeks, +/- 3 weeks offset of do we need to al start today ? (for instance, still 1w of maintenance then 12w of cuts for me)

    If we say start monday, then it gives everyone a bit of time to get together photos and stuff. But if people want to start a bit later and run a bit later, we could wait for them for judging.

    I think we should have MFP decide the overall most winner, but Mark and a specialist panel of the mega lean could pick some category winnners. Maybe Sidesteal could be another judge?

    Kev you better be in, this was your idea! I woke up hungry for the first time this morning, Better than not being able to sleep cause your full! Looking at my pictures, i think i might've over bulked :smile:

    Yeah, we're cutting calories to cut fat!

    I think a lot of us will probably be on 12 week cuts, but 8 weeks seemed a bit more accessible

    Now until the end of October I guess? Sound fair? Again post after pics around 8 weeks give or take

    The prize is self satisfaction, pride, and more confidence...intangible objects are easier to ship

    Count me in on this. It's time I try to shred some of these pounds I've been toying with. I'll reassess this weekend to get some accurate numbers by Monday.

    I'm not anywhere near goal, and this "bulk" was not intentional. I want to get smaller and lose weight if the scale agrees, can I be part of this challenge?
