Being that regularly a notch below 2000 cal is like music in my ears

Just grinding it out

You almost don't have to post your weight with this record. It's carved in stone it goes down smoothly. Good job!

Really good start, keep it going!

On top of logging your food and reducing caloric intake, you definitely need to begin a basic barbell strength training program. The extra muscle mass will improve the way you look at any given weight and create more metabolically active tissue such that it becomes easier for you to lose bodyfat in the long term. It's also a lot of fun with a surprisingly high retention rate and will definitely help you to keep the unhealthy weight off in the long run.

I recommend Starting Strength, by Mark Rippetoe. Here is a step-by-step guide that tells you exactly what to do from day one:

If you want to, there is also a 300+ page book to dive into for understanding the theory and all the specific details, but posting videos of you performing the lifts to be coached by people on here is probably a much better/easier way of approaching things.

Appreciate it guys

Yeah I totally agree. I've read SS cover to cover (albeit like 8 years ago) and while no doubt informative, it was dry af so I probably wont reread it. The issue with doing any sort of routine is where I live gyms are shut down due to covid. I've looked into just buying a bench, squat rack and a barbell but they're either sold out or prohibitively expensive. So for the moment I've been doing at least an hr walk a day and ****ing around with these resistance bands:



As soon as gyms reopen ill be back in there and might post form videos. Depends how much of a pussy ***** I am.

First real bad day. Back to it today.

We need variation. As long as the variation is not very big and doesn't continue, it's ok

just a simple self discipline you can make it. keep moving

Yeah agreed. Wont lose my **** over a 2000 cal day.



125g P/ 48g F/ 131g C

What's your maintenance calories? 2k is probably still a pretty big deficit, I wouldn't worry about but.

BMR is like 2650. So maintenance would be around 3.1k? So yeah, still a big deficit.

Wow amazing post by loco.


Nice start Teethwash, keep it up!

Thanks boss.

Food was exactly the same as the day before: 1558 cals.

Don't forget to film!

Without actually doing the math, I feel like I should be losing more if my numbers are correct. Since I'm pretty sure thermodynamics apply to me I'm thinking I must be measuring my portions wrong or choosing inaccurate entries when logging. Will be extra precise this week. Also I'm eating pizza tonight. Lol.

I mean you're down 15lbs in 20 days?!

What do you estimate your maintenance to be? -2.7 would suggest 1350cal daily deficit. Which would be around 3k maint. 29, 5'9, light exercise 1-3x a week yields 3200 or so.

I prefer weighing in more often because there's variance and you're going to catch it on some high/low days once a week. ie you might weigh 305.2 tomorrow.
