Weight is still right around 280 lbs in the morning (but I have oblique definition if I flex). Going to tighten up the diet the last 2 months and ramp up the high heart rate work, keeping up with my treadmill walking.
I feel like even though I havent hit what I thought I would for weight loss I have recmped a bit. My back and shoulders definite feel bigger in my t-shirts and I feel different parts of my car seat hitting my back now (weird I know, but you get very use to what you drive in everyday so easy to spot a difference)
I’m down 16lbs, from 240-224. From here 215 would be goal to hit, but 205 would be great. I have eight weeks of paternity leave starting around first week of June. Lots of time to train, eat and lay by pool for motivation to keep pushing.
I’m down from 195 to 185-ish, depending on the day. I’d like to get to the mid to low 170s.
I experienced a drop in strength immediately, as soon as I lost the first few pounds and dramatically reduced carbs. The strength loss seems to have stopped and I seem to be slowly regaining strength. Based on what I’ve read, this seems unusual?
I peaked at 235 lb at the end of my Super Squats run (27Feb23). Currently back down to 228. Green line below is the rolling 7-day average. Purple line is actual day-to-day weight. This is starting from mid-November. Making progress.
Curious if this is your first kid? I don’t know if your plans are gonna happen the way you think. I remember having a lot of plans too and none of them happened.
First day back after getting COVID last week.
First time I got it from the inception, so a little annoyed I didn’t go the distance
Just swimming today, but managed to get my 30 laps in 10 seconds less than the last time I did it about 2 weeks ago, so that isn’t so bad.
Down to 208.4 after doing the Velocity for a week, so hopefu that my weights sessions starting tomorrow are going to increase that weight loss, maybe put some muscle on my very disproportioned upper body lol
Maybe a little leaner in the legs, maybe a little bigger in the shoulders. Hard to tell. Will get another bodyscan done through work and compare in a month
Very impressive @s.gentz. I don’t know which floored me more - that you lost over 30 pounds in the first post, or that you gained 10 in a refeed; both are feats!
I imagine it’s less that you lost strength and more that you lost energy if you dramatically reduced carbs. And now your body has adjusted to your current energy source and become better at it.
You went from being a sugar burner to a fat burner. Switching fuels can be rough at first.
