Just discovered these they are awesome! Sugar intake shouldn't be a worry at all as long as its tracked.

What you using to track your results?

I have found it hard to just lift and lose weight mainly down to accuracy of my deficit, I have tightened up but also added cardio on workout days to speed things up.

This thread helped me get the scale moving in the direction I want again. I tightened up my food diary and planned ahead more, estimated less and added in all the things I may have overlooked before. Eye balling can work if you put the work in first to measure accurately. Just to make sure I slightly upped my activity to…

great stuff, also using the 5x5 programme only im in week 5 right now and only the OHP is hard. I started at 40-50% of my max. Going to add light cardio on lift days.

Thought id update this thread as its been a while. Its been a long journey that im still on. Ok where do I start, I think I fixed my metabolism this was by consuming what I thought was my TDEE for around 4 weeks I gained around 2lbs. This was while I was also doing insanity, which left me very fit. I dropped my calories to…

I'm still building up to my PB's with SL the weight is very easy at the moment but im trying to perfect technique Give it x2 weeks and the intensity will increase every workout. After the 12 weeks ill add cardio in on the…

killing it man, you got the right formula for your body keep going. 4000kcals is mental thats a lot of eating. I'll be joining you on lifting heavy soon and hoping for good results, think eating at maintenance for a while sorted out my metabolism. Slowly losing but a reduction of cardio and lifting heavy will be…

I stuck to it and losing this week at a similar rate -0.4lbs Finishing insanity this week (yay) and plan to rest for a week. Then I'll be starting strong lifts, I will recalculate my marcos/calories inline with my reduction in activity 3 days a week lifting sounds like heaven compared to the last 2 months of hard interval…

Missed Tuesdays workout but did it yesterday after a long day of standing up at an exhibition all day :(, today will be more of the same all day at an exhibition followed by Wednesdays workout! On the plus side there's only 3 workouts to go and a fit test!! Looking and feeling like a champion though ;)
-
Well done @fitnewlife i too performed really well at Pylo yesterday really went hard on those push up to standing and went further than I have before with those level 3, 32 push ups. I wasnt as exhausted afterwards either. Staying in a hotel tonight (sharing a room) they have a gym but its more like a cramped room with…

Its my last week, im so excited to finish this programme and then rest for a week. My body has changed and my core is so much stronger, I had a weird moment this saturday where I noticed my stomach had changed shape, my abs are solid and its slowly starting to show. All that hard work you are putting in is changing your…

So week 1 into my -15% cut and I lost -0.2lbs It wasn't a good week in terms of sticking to my macros I was just slightly out but slack in general. I think 15% may be too small so ill go another 200kcals under this week and see if any difference is made. Looking leaner in the mirror not sure if the tape measure agrees.…
-
Took my rest day yesterday Will be back on it today lunchtime instead of after work. Next week im at an exhibition From Tuesday - Thursday and stating in a hotel so I guess I have to wake up early. its my last week and its going to be very hard as I'll need to plan my eating etc around being at the exhibition! I will…

I think I'm going to change it up cut back the cardio and do Stronglifts 5x5 3 times a week and Saturday ill do some type of cardio with friends or do an insanity…

I failed myself yesterday i only managed the fittest, i guess I didnt realise how much more effort i put into the Sports training and also the lack of break between Sunday and Monday double workout. My fit test results only slightly improved and on some they were the same, the positive is i made it through the fit test…

@dieselbyte - Thanks this gives me a better understanding of why higher protein would be better. I will keep this in mind if nothing is changing and increase protein to see what happens. I always promote healthy debates and keeping an open mind. I based my protein knowledge from this website which I have found the most…

@amandacillin Clothes not fitting is annoying but great problem to have im slowly rebuilding my wardrobe lol! I think sometimes we need to step back and be proud of our achievements despite not being at our goal yet. So Well done and keep it up!
-
@dieselbyte thanks for your feedback, my calorie burn is high due to insanity workouts I wear a HRM which has been pretty consistent. I wanted to build back up to TDEE for a few weeks to help with getting my metabolism going at a better rate as I initially cut way too much. Yes protein could be higher but other than having…

Starting my cut today TDEE -15% After eating my TDEE for a few weeks i've gone from full and bloated to ravenous and hungry. only 1 - 2lbs fluctuation. Im in the middle of Insanity so eating TDEE was welcome, looking lean from all the intense workout but no weight dropped. Will closely monitor over the next 2 weeks and…

Hey all Yesterday I did Max Interval sports training which was so much fun... I burned over 900 kcals and im so glad I swapped this with core cardio & balance. Today is the fit test and then workout which will definitely be a challenge. I am doing TDEE -15% from this week so let's hope the scale weight melts off. I have 2…
-
So Week 2 and I was comfortably eating this level of calories to the point where I was hungry rather than bloated or full up! I feel great and still powering through insanity with 2 weeks left :) I decided that since I am coping with the amount of calories I am ready for my 15% cut. I went back and forth whether to stick…

Keep monitoring your weight and slowly adding the calories. Sounds like your metabolism is firing like a F1 race car.
