No picture.

60 day progress. Down 24 pounds. 29 to go.

Thank you.

Had one. Hated it. It gave me steps checking my email. It also said i was sleeping while I was driving.

I punched myself in the face last night trying to pull the blanket up and my hand slipped off.

Kids on my bike.

I still have a members only jacket. It's gray.

All of you have done some amazing things. My before and afters will be on here soon. You are all so motivating I just want to add all of you as friends. Keep up the good work!!!!

Thanks. It looks like the volume is cutting itself back :) . I have reduced my exercises to just one per muscle group and sticking to compound movements. I started out with about 60# to lose. Maybe I should change my goals to allow for so.e additional calories but still continue to lose. I do tend to eat back most of the…

I give everyone my permission to add me.

I'm trying to shed a metric tons myself. Weight fluctuates so much on the scale that I started weighing every day and recording my average. My weight loss has been pretty steady with this method even when I experience "heavy" days.

Thanks for the inputs. My goal is to reduce my BF% to 12-15 and then ramp up the calories to put on come muscle. I despise cardio so thought the 5x5 would work.

The way I understand it you need to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight and a calorie surplus to build muscle. Cant be in a deficit and surplus at the same time.

While I am not very motivating I do have an awesome beard and tattoos. I say funny things and can be sarcastic and somewhat offensive. If you're cool with that then add me.

I guess I could make room for a few more friends. You gotta be cool though.

I'm still trolling...Lookin for my next victim, I mean friend that is.

Yea...what the heck. Cant have too many friends.

So basically stick with what I am doing and push through this plateau.

Well the reason I ask is that I have been eating a deficit, doing cardio and lifting weights for 3 months. I have lost 14 pounds and 6% BF but nothing the last 3 weeks. I was thinking about raising my calories and keep hitting the weights to put on some muscle before I reach my BF% goal.

Nobody?

well that kinda sucks. Maybe it will level out on its own.

Yea. Keeping my calorie intake at a deficit while lifting heavy should help me maintain muscle and ensure that most of the weight lost is body fat.

I just read your thread. Good info.

Actually Malibu927 I put weight on very quickly. I am an overeater. Food that I love I destroy. I could gain the 12 pounds I lost in about 3 weeks. I don't own a food scale but I have considered getting one. I have also noticed my weight fluctuates about 1 to 3 pounds from day to day. I have been weighing every ay and…

What I have noticed is my weight fluctuates 1 to 3 pounds a day. You wont know if you are weighing on a heavy day or a light ay. I weigh same time every day and average it out.

MFP set my calories to lose 2 pounds per week at 1350. That seemed too low so I have gone to 1500. The site set my macros at 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% fat.

Cool. Glad I started this thread. That info is good to know. Thanks a lot.

The omelets sound pretty good. I do like peppers.

So when trying to lose body fat it's ok to eat fat? Sounds counterproductive. I know fat is essential but I figured to lose it I need to reduce it.

Please tell me you're joking. If I could have been having whole eggs and BUTTER this whole time I am going to ide.
