Ah ok my bad lol.

The main reason for me eating something small every few hours is mainly so im not feeling starving looking at the clock knowing i cant eat for another 4-5 hours. Obviously different things work for different people but this has worked for me 3 times now so if aint broke...

Its hard to set a line for this just too many factors involved.

MLY,

lose

Do slower rates of weight loss imply muscle loss is less significant or is there a consistent proportion? Every time I’ve lost weight I’ve shot for 2lbs/week with the fuzzy understanding that this was ‘safe’. ... assuming ‘normal’ Protein targets are always met and other stuff is at least close to being on target.

Muscle is expensive to maintain, if you are trying to survive through a winter for example, your odds of living are probably increased if you have less muscle mass, so that your fat stores last longer. Its not like your muscle completely disappears, youre still going to be able to hopefully kill something come spring. Can't do that you are dead tho.

FYP

That article and all the referenced studies dont tell you jack **** about lean body mass losses.

And what do you know about that?

27, how many hours per week are you willing to invest in working out?

I thought it was magically changing your metabolism?

At this point I'm convinced 27o just needs a friend.

Lapka,

3 or 4.


Dr,

Not sure why you would think that. My body is also completely salvageable atm, unlike that guy in you post.

Not going to pretend to be a fitness expert and tell you what to do with that time. But I can tell you what not to do:
Don't spend 30 minutes between packing your gym bag, driving to the gym, changing in the locker room just to work out for 30 minutes and then spend another 30 minutes to get back. That's an absurd waste of time and yet a lot of people do exactly that.

Worst thing I often see: People driving to the gym to get on the treadmill and then drive back home. Why would anyone want to do that? Just put on your running shoes, step out the door and start to run.

FWIW, I bet the majority of people who claim they have no time to work out could cut an hour of TV/Netflix at night, go to bed instead and get up an hour earlier and go for a run.

I lost two times in my life about 10 kg a month. But with a LOT more exercise.

27 how long is your commute? Can you do it on a bike? (if it is under 10 km one direction, you can)

Naaaahhhhh..... I don't want to persuade you to do stuff, you definitely won't do as a habit..... But with 4 hours of exercise...... I would say something like 5 kg~10 lbs. And that only when you are REALLY disciplined with food.

lapka,

LOOOOOOL that is an absurdly low number. He'll easily be able to be down 20lbs in a month, and as I said earlier, the line should probably be somewhere between 20-30lb.

How much did you weigh when you lost 10kg in a month?

Bears though.

once 63 kg and once 72 kg. I don't think 27 is really bad. I mean..... OK as a guy losing weight is easier......

But now you definitely made me curious. I won't bet, but will follow.

lapka,

He prob weighs over 100kg. So right off the bat, he is carrying a lot more water weight than you had to drop. That alone would probably get him 10lbs. Then, he burns a lot more calories than you did due to his excess weight and more muscle mass, so when he restricts his calories and exercises, he can achieve a bigger deficit than you could. Let's say he burns 2500 calories a day (could be higher) and exercises another 500 calories a day. He could eat 1500 calories a day and be at a 1500 calorie deficit, losing almost 3lbs a week. That's 13 lbs right there for a total of 23lbs just like that.

Good luck Mlylt.

27,

We are prolly around the same weight, fat%, and muscle mass right now. I think a weight loss competition would be really close and we would each have to push really hard to beat the other.

What do you say we do April, May, June.
$100/month % weight loss
$500 overall % weight loss

And just for fun $100 at the end for benching and/or leg pressing the heaviest weight 1 rep.
And something for best body transformation voted on by OOTers.

Weigh in videos on the first day of each month with the first weigh in on Friday. Weighing can be on different (wood only)floors, but with the same scale.

Begining photos of front/back/side or twirling video.

haha, yeah I read that and was like "wuuuuuut? lool"

M,

Loooooool

LOL

LOOOOLOLOLOLOLLLLOLOLOLLLLLL

loooooooooooooolllllllllll

LOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLOLOLOLOLOLOL LLLLL

Ugh.

It would be great if y’all could swing a body composition contest instead. Find a place that does a water submersion body fat analysis and get a before and after reading. So much better than weight, especially if you guys are serious about working out.

ETA lol at a one rep max side bet.

Holy ****, I love OOT.
