Trying to Lose 18 lbs by D-Day

Training
1

Here’s what I’m working with:

Sunday
Deadlift 10x3, :30-:60 rest
Chinups 10x3, :30
Plyometric pushups 10x3 :30

Monday
am - jump rope 10x100 jumps
pm - tabata front squats and abs

Tuesday
am - jump rope 10x100 jumps
pm- 400 meter run, started at 3 and I’m building up to 8 over the next month or so. :90

Wednesday
abs

Thursday
some kind of brutal, crossfit style total body metabolic hell i.e. 5 chins, 10 pushups, 15 squats every minute on the minute for 20-30 minutes followed by a mile run.

Friday
am- 10x100 jump rope
pm- 400 meter runs

Saturday
abs

weight: 253, down 2 lbs from 255 last week and down from 270 at the beginning of February. Accomplished that by eating nothing but chicken and salad whilst doing tons of SS cardio and a 6 day bodypart split, but discontinued because I felt like I was losing too much muscle and hated the training style.
goal: 235 by June 6
diet: goal weight x 10 = 2350 kcal per day. 250 grams of protein, the rest low GI carbs with some fat, not avoiding it but trying to keep it rather low.

I think this is solid, as I’ve got 4 intense ESW sessions along with 3 moderate ones (rope jumping), and the heavy weight session is kept at a quick pace.

I’ve tried this before, but now it’s do or die. I have a lot of pressure on me to reach my goals. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks

I’m not going to comment on the workout split but congrats on getting down from 270! I was 280+ when i started and I’m down to about 220ish. So keep at it!

im in a similair situation , the one thing i can say is be patient, it took you a long time to get where you are/were and it will take you even longer to get to where you wanna be. Also every once in a while go crazy on carbs (eat loads of fruit, your daily caloric intake plus 200-300 in pre dominantly carbs). I’ve found that i’ll hit a plateau with a low carb intake, then i’ll spend a couple of days with a higher carb intake where i might even gain some weight (by some i mean 1-2 pounds) the i’ll re-attack the weights and the high protein diet and it works wonders again.
Your body just needs that change and energy every so often
