Heeey.. GoT isn't on Netflix! :wink:

I'm also almost in this exact situation right now. I keep changing my mind about whether to maintain or not like every other day, and here I am still in a deficit. I think I'm gonna wait for my current TOTM bloatings to go away to see my actual weight, then estimate my TDEE from the current weigh-in data I have and then…

Nah, my weight is what I decide it to be. If I let go and just eat all I want, I'll just keep gaining until I personally stop it :tongue:

10% body fat is extremely low and unhealthy. edit: Oh lord, I thought you were a woman. I don't know enough about men's body fat percentages so ignore me!

Just eat less calories than you burn, what you eat doesn't matter. Also, you don't need to exercise if you don't want to, but if you want to go ahead and burn some extra calories from exercising I suppose any kind of cardio is the way to go. Also, I think your goal isn't very realistic. That is ~2.2-2.5 pounds per week (if…

165 kilos, 2100 years old and exercise 6 times a day.. We seem to have quite the unique case! Hahah :) Anyway, I agree with the others, up your calories!

I'm guessing you mean you exercise 6 times a week and not a day! :worried: I think 1500 is low, especially if you actually weigh 165kg..

My scale usually stays around the same number for like a week before up until the day my period starts, then my weight will usually drop by quite a lot. Everyones bodies react differently! I don't mind my "stalls" since I know what causes them and I know the weight will drop eventually.

I "stall" for like 1-2 weeks every month thanks to my menstrual cycle, lol! The day I get my period I get a big drop in the scale though, me likey. :D Anyway, be patient, as has been mentioned: weight loss isn't linear.

I weigh in every day to collect stats basically, to get a proper weight loss average in the long run. However, if you do decide to do it once per day, remember to NOT see it as either having gained or lost from the day before. You'll mostly just see a bunch of natural flunctuations/no changes at all, basically a lot of ups…

From early february until now I've lost on average a little over 0,5lbs per week. However, in the beginnning I was slacking a bit when it comes to logging so some days are not logged/improperly logged etc. These last three weeks I've been logging super consistently and as accurately as I can, and during this time I've been…

I like logging the night before and plan what I'm gonna eat. Then, the next day I'll have something to follow, and I'll just follow the exact amount of food that I pre-logged. I pre-log everything up until my late night snack, and I usually save 300-500 calories for that, so that I know during the day that "Alright, if I…

Since I started allowing myself to eat what I used to consider "weekend-only foods", I've been doing so much better. I'll sometimes have some ice cream, a chocolate bar or something else that I can fit into my daily calorie allowance if I feel like it. This has massively helped with my previously uncontrollable binges on…

Yeah, I like how this sounds. I'm thinking I'll slowly up my calories until I find maintenance and then stay there for a while and keep lifting. And as you say, I'd rather not bulk right before summer anyway.. :tongue: Thank you guys, I think I know what I want to do from here! :)

I'll definitely look into switching over to Stronglifts, it's obviously very popular and most likely for a reason. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hmm, yeah maybe I should. In any case, I'm getting kind of tired from cutting lately. Not as in sick and tired of it, but my body and mind actually feels constantly tired.

I do, I've been doing A Workout Routine's Beginner workout routine, only since the 16th of march though so I'm still quite new to it. Might continue lifting and cutting a little bit more and see what happens to my body!

If you're not losing weight, you should not increase your calorie intake. You're most likely over estimating your burns, what exactly do you do to burn said 600-700 calories? Do you weigh all your food on a food scale?

CICO!

Yeah, all of it! Coffee, my 3 grams of goji berries in my yogurt, my 10 grams of lettuce on my sandwich.. you get it.

I used to, but now I weigh every day so I'm used to the weight going up and down a lot, and since I do it so often it's not such a big deal anymore. When I used to weigh only once a week I could feel really down when the scale didn't show a lower number last time, I didn't consider the fact that it was most likely just…

Not seeing the numbers because you have a plate on the scale can be super annoying. Thanks for the suggestion, will check it out!

"In my opinion"

It's the weight I was at around 2 years ago or so, ~120lbs. If I'm happy with my body before that though, I'll stop losing. :) I'm currently ~128lbs, 5'6". As of now, I think I'll be happy before 120lbs, maybe at around 123lbs or so (I just have a little bit of belly fat I still want to get rid of.) After that, I'll either…

I changed my batteries like last week so I doubt that's it :/ Thanks, I'll look it up!

Same here, started drinking and eating out a LOT when I started going to uni.. On my way back down now though. :) Currently at 127 lbs, looking to lose a few more!

The longer I do it, the less I care about my scale showing a bigger number than last time. I'm so used to these flunctuations by now, but I put all my weigh-in numbers in a graph to see the trend weight, and as long as I'm losing in the long run, that's all that matters! :) edit: I'll share my *cough* super consistent…

You said you felt good when you looked in the mirror, but then you were disappointed when you weighed yourself.. Why is the number on the scale more important than looking at yourself and liking what you see? Just because the number said something else than you thought, doesn't mean that you look any different. I think you…

The "eat 1400 calories of whatever" diet!

Sounds good, good luck!
