3 month Aggressive Cut

rhodeslaceym · October 22

Going to use this thread for accountability while I do a 3 month long aggressive cut.

I am so sick and tired of being fat.

Starting 10/22/25 at 224lbs

End date 1/22/26 hoping to be 200lbs or lower

Goals: 10k steps per day

Weight lifting 4x per week UPPER LOWER SPLIT

1400 KCAL PER DAY

My resting calories burned is normally 2100

Starting Jean size 14

Starting top size large or x-large

I have been consistently tracking calories for 2 weeks.

I need to be better about my daily water intake.

I have zero excuses.

Following along with you, friend! You've got this 💙

How much water are you aiming to drink each day? Having a goal number to hit, even if it starts small and scales up, could be helpful for you!

You got this! I started my fitness journey in the same boat.

Was at 227, went hard the first 5 months on a similar plan as yours. Within 90 days I had went from 227 to 187.

Persistence and sticking to plan will get you there. I had a few times where I slipped up occasionally but ultimately I think it helped me reach my first goal to lost 50lbs and I have maintained the weight the last 3 months with ease.

Following along with you too; also aiming to get below 200lbs by January 2026. Aiming for 10,000 steps daily for starters to get my body and heart ready then I will incorporate more intense exercise.

i would add creatine in but i am terrible at drinking enough water for it.

Maybe a little later on when i get that habit down

I would like to be at about 70 oz per day. The issue I have is that most of the time I'm not drinking any water till lunch time especially when im at work.

I think im just going to start drinking every time my boss irritates me. That should increase it significantly. 😂

A few years back i was close to 280, left a toxic relationship and slowly lost 20 and kind held at that weight for a long time. Last winter I dropped another 30 and it honestly was the best I every felt. I realized how much easier it was do things I never even realized I was struggling with.

Over the past month ive gained about 10 pounds back just from being busy and getting careless with my diet.

So since I've locked back in, about 2 weeks now im down 12lbs, probably mostly water weight but its nice to see the scale go down.

I just turned 28 so i really want to lock in a get to where im happy with my self so my 30s can be the best years of my life.

I just incorporated walking backward for about 5-7 mins and its really helped alleviate knee pain.

I have also been able to add jogging into my walks for about 2 mins at a time (small win) but still progress.

congratulations keep up the good work. I am 35 and wish I would’ve started in my 20s a year and a half ago I was 350 but I’m now down to 197. I want to lose 15 more so I can be my healthiest ever.

The first 2 weeks of 10k after barely getting 2k per day was ROUGH! Everything hurt.

coolblackcat · October 24

You are gonna make it bro! It is hard but not impossible, be consistent, I wish you the best!

Hi Rhodeslaceym,

Very inspirational motivation-I wish you luck. It's good you are on this journey in your youth where you will not miss a lot of years of fun due to being overweight. I am 66 years old and starting again to lose weight. Let's all do this together! Will look for your progress for inspiration.

marthamejiamd · October 24

BTW Rhodeslaceym,

Bad people who hurt you are good to get rid of and so hard to do-glad you did it

Had a little bit of a rough Friday. Still stayed in my deficit but could have made some better choices.

I was able to get my water intake up and I got all my steps today.

Just finished my Saturday gym session and i weigh myself at the end of every one and we are at 223.6.

Ive got 552 calories left for the day and I want a hamburger and french fries so badly but I'm typing it here instead. I am going to make a good choice for dinner that I know will keep me full the rest of the evening.

Tomorrow I am going to get all my fresh veggies and meal prep for the work week.

I am right there with you. I am at the highest weight I have ever been in my life. I want to drop 50 by the end of Feb. I just started last week so I have not taken any measurements other than my starting weight and logging daily meals.

I am all that stands between me and the goal! I tell myself every day, "GET THE F OUT OF THE WAY, FAT BOY. I am reclaiming what belongs to me!
