Shes just a sick individual. She pulled 315 right b4 lockdown. She pulled 225 for 100 reps in 25 minutes. She broke the womens record for stone carrying at the FL highland games at a weight of 145.

I’m just going to see how the 30 days goes but ideally 155 (in time, not within 30).

Day 1 in the books- unsure if the macros are good/bad/indifferent. Any one have some basic info on what I should be looking for?

Your target is just weight loss? Don’t get too hung up on macros if so. Just count dem cals.

I prefer high protein like you have done as it makes me feel full longer but not a requirement

Weight loss / feel better are the main goals.

Thanks for the quick feedback.

Just count cals and protein. Everything else will fall into place.

What you're doing seems fine albeit pretty low. How hungry were you on this?

Protein you want between .5g - 1g/lb of bodyweight so you're fine.

30 days are done!

Summary
* Burned 400 calories/day for 30 days
* Lost 6-8 lbs
* Likely didn’t eat enough, and went further into caloric deficit than I needed to.
* The last two weeks of the challenge were very tough due to fatigue, energy lost and not enough recovery time.

I like a protein shake afterwards as well. I take BCAA powder 15 minutes before my workout, and L-Glutamine three times a day between meals .
When I stretched daily, my recovery went well. I take BCAA, multi vitamins and fish oil. I did not eat enough during the challenge which is weird. I did not have an appetite even though I was in a caloric deficit everyday. The bike wasn’t a waste of time 67o

Make sure the seat is set to the right height. While seated, put your heel on the flat of the pedal and, at the bottom of the stroke, your leg is close to but not completely extended. When the front of your foot is on the peddle, your leg will extend slightly less.

You don't need as much recovery from pedaling as from other exercises because you aren't pounding. Your butt might, though, so give it a day off if needed. Hips get tight from a lot of biking so give those a gentle stretch as needed.

Low HR steady effort for longer and high intensity intervals both have their uses, depending on what you want out of it.
I have a Schwin, the seat on it is pretty comfortable. The last quarter of the challenge was nothing but low HR workouts haha.

Surprisingly was pretty full most of the day.

When he's not nit-trolling at lifters who aren't scientists, Lyle McD says aim for 1g protein per lb of bodyweight because you will probably fall a little short of your goal.

That cal count seems pretty low for broccoli with oil, especially if you can have it for breakfast w/o vomitting.

"Funny" is not the right word. Is there any good proof on the male-friendly bike seats.

good proof? no idea what that means?

but anything with a hole has enough clearance to not pinch off testicular circulation and that's the gameplan

Might be low? I don’t really know. I just typed it into the app and entered the quantity. It added calories by itself.

I’m using Lose It. I actually downloaded Myplaye initially. It said I had a user already and when I tried to reset my password, nothing happened so I deleted the app and went to the 2nd most popular result.

Day 27 - have slipped up 3x so far

Last weigh in - 163.8, down 5.2 lbs

The food monotony is real at this point, but doing my best to keep it up.

I didn't go for a hard cut football lent this year. I have been adding about 1 lb/week since Easter, I hope it's good weight. So I just cut off the booze and replaced the brownies with gatorade whey bars. Currently at 181, 35". But kickoff is this weekend.

Back dating. I rolled through Phat Tuesday at 187, 36 3/4" a record bad starting point.

Entering the home stretch at 178ish 35". I would like to drop another inch but running is a lot harder than even last year.

If you’re not already doing so, I recommend using a running app like Nike Run Club which is what I have. It tracks distance, time, average pace per mile, etc. for all your runs and can help with staying motivated.

By pure accident, I've dropped close to 10lbs from my peak (182 lbs peak, down to 172 lbs as of today, which is the lightest I've been in a ~decade).

Basically just kinda got into home cooking a lot more and enjoying the meals we're making, while at the same time losing my enjoyment of fast food (i.e. McD's / etc. 3+ times a week, which I've always been a life long lover of until recently). Also not even really enjoying the process of restaurant / pub eating as much due to time / cost / comfort suck. Even cutting my weekend poker sessions to a short ~8 hours so I can go home and cook dinner instead of putting in the normal 10+ hour session and fast fooding on the way home.

Though did none of this on purpose (i.e. I really don't care what I weigh and I wasn't attempting to lose weight) and still eat pretty much what I want / how much I want / when I want.

This should be renamed the DMWaistline Lent thread.

Starting off with some unpleasant historic records, 196 lbs / 37.5 waist.

I was briefly above over 200 in my youth when I was on creatine and a very dubious bulking program. It did not feel good.
