Goal 6 weeks to lose 10lBs and no strength.


Week 1 Day 1
Weight in skidders after a slash: 11st 13/167lB/75.7KG
Length/type of sleep: 10 hours - broken, wierd dreams

Week1 Method: Cut out junk ie. cakes, chocolate, obvious stuff... AND Bread and Pasta + SS Cardio and ABS on non lifting days starting at 15 mins.

That's it for now, will add my foods every day after work or on waking - that's the same day for me.

Already want a fag...

Unfortunately for you.....YES!

Well, found those calipers...

just use the mirror IMO if you able not to lie to your self that is

Upright, I seem to recall you are a member of the dwarf nation, how short are you? Cause 75 odd kg doesn't seem that much? Unless it's fat?

haha - you're asking very personal questions GB but I'll satisfy your curiosity in telling you I'm 5'5" - one of the dwarfiest of the nation... I'll also give you an idea of shape as in BF is around 25% and in April it was about 13 at around 10st. I was also much weaker then and getting low reps at chins. So there has been good progress and some reckless gaining. Some days, I don't look so rotund and mainly only stare at my self between sets so I get quite bloated at times which will be alleviated by dropping bread I think and maybe cutting back on oats.

If I ditch 10lB and get back to around 15% bf, I will consider this a successful year, maybe some of you not, but If I hang on to my strength gains, for me, I'll be happy.

wow 25% is way too high and 10lbs is only going to drop 7% off at best, are you sure its that high?

It's the highest of 3 readings. Lowest was 21 - I hate those calipers, but even if I get i wrong, as long as I do it the same way each time, then it's a good enough measurement as a base comparison. Today is a bloaty day anyways. I'm sure there's worse than me, We'll see how it goes, getting back in my jeans comfortably will be good though.

good luck my freind dropping body fat takes hard work and lots of it

*1000000 times harsher on my self darling

Yeah 25% on a man is quite fat. Those plastic calipers are crap also.
So what I mean is that I doubt you're that high considering the training you do etc. However, whilst it is only 5%, you may well be 20% say.

Rough Macros(can't be arsed with fruit n veg apart from the swet pots)p/f/c/cals = 337/89/185/2656

which is not right cos that's a discrepancy of about 230 cals... but there was a bit of rounding up - except on the cals which I did with the calc cos my bain seriously hurts now - watch this space as tomorrow will be better math and a more realistic day as I will be waking at my routine time of 14:00.

Thats a great diet to start off with, realistically though you won't want to go bellow 2000 cals so while theres a few obvious things to tweek for the first few weeks after that we'll have to be a little more creative.

Thanks mate. That's an extra meal in there though and I don't always have all that meat, but I had a bit more prep time yesterday and the steak and salmon needed eating. I'd often have another shake in there instead of a meal but that's prtty much how I eat and that was an easy day - I felt like I could putaway a few more carbs but felt good and full most of the time. Don't think I can manag sweet potaties today so Jackets are my carb of choice - although I know you'll be having me take them out soon enough...
