This will be my daily log. I will post my calories and workout routine EACH day. If I skip more than 3 days, it is expected someone will PM me or Email me to remind me to stay the course.

My starting point is 195 lbs and my goal is 165 lbs by Christmas.
I chose a challenge by lbs because this is what most people here follow. In reality, for us guys that weight train, lbs don't mean nearly as much as bf% or waist measurements. Since bf% are always wonky and hard to nail down, I am going with waist measurements. My goal will be to lose 6.5 inches, thus ending at a 32" waist. This means I'll need to lose 1.625 inches per month for 4 months.

My email address is KikoSanchez182@yahoo.com

Thank you for anyone that joins. I will post my first official log tomorrow.

    Calories: 1500
    Goal: 1700

    Had a good eating day, getting in more protein. Had another wrap and some bread, so I need to cook the ground beef I have and eat some of my salmon so I can lessen carbs.


    Exercise:

    Did arms and back at the gym, also shot basketball while jogging in between shots, a few minutes on a stationary bike, and ~10 minutes of insanity cardio. A good day all-in-all.

    Goal: 1,700

    Ate pretty well considering I had to go out to eat again (family in town). Had a steak and rice when we went out. My sister got pizza and I had to have a piece last nite, which put me just over my goal. Overall, not so bad considering I under ate starting this out.


    Exercise:

    Did arms, back, and some cardio.

    Calories: 1,800

    Ate the remaining pizza my sister left in the fridge. Overall, not the best choice of foods, but I'm happy with the calories. Have to go out to eat with her again today, so I am going to have to be on my best behavior. Eating out is never easy!

    10 days in report

    Starting - 196 lbs
    Now - 193 lbs

    Waist starting - 38.3"
    Waist now - 37.5"

    Pretty happy with my first 10 days results check-in. ~3/4 inch drop in waistline is roughly 4 lbs of fat loss for me, which means I regained some muscle as well. My waistline progress is ahead of schedule, I need -.58 inch per 10 days and had -.8 inch loss. Can't wait to keep going and reach my goals!

    I've been baad this week! I've averaged ~3,000 calories over the last 4 days! There are 6 days left in my 2nd 10-day period, so I've really got to shape up and get accountable again if I'm going to get even close to my goal. Work has really been stressing me out lately and I've fallen back into some old traps. I'm going to hold myself to my plan tonight and head straight to the gym after work then I'll come on here and report this. Hopefully this will give me the added accountability I need to follow through and not let my stressed brain talk me into gluttony :)

    You can do it. I have been exactly where you are. Don't be too hard on yourself as it won't help, but remember (despite the fact it is an AWFUL cliche) that every day is 'day one' and we're all there for you!!! :happy:

    Wow, ran into a streak of bad luck with being sick and the passing of my grandmother. Luckily I have been good the past few days and have also worked out. Headed to the gym right now, it is day one indeed lol.
