    Joining in if you all don’t mind! I had another check-in group, but my goal is lowering BF with body recomp. It goes so slowly, it felt kind of weird to be in a pure weight-loss group. Anyway, I’m 5’6 133lbs, I like to hang out around 130. I saw a weight gain this month and I want to reverse that back to 130 or just under, and lower my BF % by a point this month. Does anyone know if this is a realistic rate for BF loss?

    I mean, it depends on how you measure it.. but you can definitely get noticeably leaner in a month. Whether it's a % or not, that I don't know, I've never really tracked mine with any accuracy. I think though it will depend on your current bodyfat, rate of loss, muscle base, how well you maintain the muscle you have, etc but I feel like it would be doable unless you are ultra lean.

    This summer is killing me.....killing me, I tell you!! It seems like I do so great between Jan-June. Then summer comes and with it BBQs, birthdays, vacations, sitting by the pool socializing, parties then it's the fall and the holidays. I feel like I take huge steps back this time of the year and it's a downward slide until after New Years.

    *sigh*

    height: 5'8"
    starting weight: 207
    as of 6/29: 174
    end of July goal: 170
    ultimate goal I hope to hit by early next year: 145-150 (I'll be happy with 155)
