Body transformation plan

Going to use this to keep me accountable and post about my progress. I have bet £900 that I will lose 40lb by the 3rd October - when I win I will get £2k back.

Weight Loss Plan:
Goal: By the 30 September 2021 I will weigh 147lb and will be lean and strong.

Starting Position: I will take before photos and then weekly photos after that. I will weigh every week and I will measure my waist. I will take weekly progress photos.

Nutrition: I will eat 1,400 calories a day with a rough 30% protein, 35% fat and 35% carbs. I will plan my food each week and it will include 3x meals and an evening snack. I will think about nutrition & protein intake & water intake.

Workouts: before the gym re-open I will aim to walk 7,500 to 10,000 steps a day and do a home workout 3x per week based around body weight movements

After the gym re-open I will do 3x 5x5 workouts of some description and aim to get stronger on deadlifts, bench press, overhead press and squat. I will also aim to get stronger on these lifts.

I will post starting photos and measurements at some point over the next few days and I will weigh monday morning.

  • That's amazing. How did you do it?

    I have bought a set of kettlebells and written a workout plan for :)
  • Starting position:
    Weight: 194.75lb
    Waist: 42 inches
    Height 5'1

    Will post some before photos later. I think my goal is huge but I am feeling determined. Today is just an relaxed day with the goal of doing my food shop, eating 1400 calories and walking 7,000 to 10,000 steps.
  • Day 2 - feeling good. Meal plan done & food prepped and ready in the fridge. Might need eggs and salad during the week. My kettlebells arrive on the 11th and I have planned alternative a/b workouts based around the squats, push press, deadlifts and bench press. hit 10,000 steps both days.

    Ate less (I eat whatever I want) so I was in deficit, worked out everyday but only one body part a day and walked 180 minutes a day (2 90 minute walks) with interval sprints 3 days a week. That's it.
    I was back at work for awhile before getting shut down again in December. But on days I work, I only did 90 minutes walking (in the morning) because my evening got taken up with work. But I walk around a lot at work for 3-4 hours.

    Good luck guys, be interesting to see the pictures, before, during and after. Keep motivated.
  • Day 4 - Yesterday was a tricky day but I got through it and hit my calories. Today I have upped my protein significantly and planned in 4 meals & a snack by making a few small changes to the meals. On balance... Yeah it is good. I am pleased but I need to be consistent and get to day 14 and day 40 and day 400. My kettlebells have arrived so I will unbox and begin my first workout tomorrow.
