Hey what’s everyone’s plans for workouts in order to slim down. Weights, cardio, tracking..... I’m lifting mostly free weights for the next several weeks and doing HIIT cardio along with tracking just about everything.

This sounds like a excellent plan and well thought out. For me as I cut calories I cut carbs as well while keeping protein and fats the same. I need carbs to stay low when I cut. I also carefully watch my sugar intake. Question, what type of programming are you planning to do for your cut and how long will your HIIT cardio…

I love the berenstain bears. I read all the books when I was a kid, lol.

Thanks Hilogirl. I try to log everything I eat and if I go over I try to post something on my wall. Maybe I should update here as well. And woo means “you think and idea or approach is too good to be true”

My progress so far. Just finished my 8th week of a cut and have 4 more weeks to go. Still trying to lose those last few lbs for summer. No more cheat days and meals for me. Someone keep me accountable.

Sounds like a good plan. Easier to maintain then clean shaven but for the warmer months only.

I thought about laser hair removal for back as well. I heard it take a lot of sessions and is expensive.

Do people on here know that a Woo is not a good thing.

Here to help with accountability. I log daily and try to lift 4-5x a week and cardio for 30 min every day. Could alway use extra motivation to make sure I stick with it. Have a few more pounds to lose before summer.

I’m in for a competition. You will need to exchange emails to start a competition. I’ll send you my email or feel free to send me yours.

I am no hero but what are your goals and what have you done so far that hasn’t worked. What do you find to be the most difficult? Feel free to Add me if you think I can help.

First of all congratulations Angie and Hilo for all the progress so far. For me I am continuing until the end of June if I hit my goal, if not I will keep going until about October and then switch to building muscle again. If I hit my goal before then it will be maintenance for me. Good luck all.

Lisa you will need to send a DM with your email address. Then you can invite someone to connect and then start a competition. I’ll send you my email if you want to compete.

Add @ashleyih, she is great at providing motivation :) Feel free to add me as well.

You make it sounds so easy, lol, gain 10 cut 5, repeat. It’s a slow and steady process for most people, but the goal would be to start every bulk/cut phase a little better then the previous. As far as my Macros when bulking I am more like 1.5x protein, 2.5 carbs and .25 fats. On non training days I’ll cut the carbs in half…

Happy to help with the motivation.

I don’t believe there is a better substitute for pull ups other then weighted pull ups. If you can’t do them at home can you find a park nearby. If that doesn’t work you could try inverted rows

You need to exchange emails so that you can start a competition. If you want to compete send me your email in a DM and I’ll send you an invite.

For me it’s a slow and steady process. Every fall/winter I bulk and spring/summer cut. As this will be my 3rd time around I can see progress over the years. What made the biggest difference is my baseline improved every year going into the bulk and going into the cut. Progress for me is slow and my net gains may only be…

During my bulk I had similar issues of getting enough calories in. At one point I needed 3500+ so I would set my alarm and eat at 4:00am. As I increased calories slowly I would add an additional meal so that I was eating 7x a day starting around 4:00am. Ended the day with a caesin protein shake. Meals can get a little…

I have 4 girls myself and it’s a challenge but I am happy to provide whatever support I can. Add me if you’d like. Happy to share my workarounds for nutrition and I usually try to hit the gym early in the morning before kids wake up. Good luck.

What’s your move goal? Mine is 680.

Mine is the same as your @MelanieCN77, double the move goal 4x. I already double it twice and today will be 3x. It was leg day today, lol.

In just use the note in my iPhone to track every rep, set and weight. Since I have been using this for years I can go back and look at program I completed years ago to track my progress. I find it very easy and takes on a few seconds to record the set, unless I am doing drop sets in which case I record the data after the…

Great motivation. So far in April I’ve hit each goal. If you want to compete let me know and I’ll send your my email and we can set up an Apple Watch challenge. Keep up the amazing work!

First of all congrats for all the progress you have made so far. Like you I lift 4x a week and do cardio at least once a day sometimes twice. Cardio includes boxing, swimming, elliptical, stair master and max trainer. I am also going low carb as I am currently cutting. I log all my foods even the sugary ones like the ice…

I’ve been on for a while and it’s always good to be supported and to provide support for others. Add me if you’d like. I log and l lift 4x a week and do cardio everyday and sometimes twice a day.

Happy to help with motivation. I like you try to train at least 4 times a week and cardio every day and sometimes twice. I also log all foods. Anyone can feel free to add me.

Agree with Mike, get your own gloves. Will you be hitting a heavy bag, if so I’d opt for heavier gloves and make sure you purchase the wraps and learn how to wrap your hands properly. Like above start with the basic punches and focus on the technique and footwork. Speed and power will come over time. It’s a great workout…

Great to see all the progress everyone is making. The accountability to log everything while good or “bad” has helped me to avoid “going off the rails” so many times. Then there was that one time 2 weeks ago when I grabbed a small handful of tollhouse chocolate chip and then ate half the bag, lol. But I didn’t let it get…
