(Un)official 2026 T-ransformation Challenge

@TrainForPain #33 ready for the challenge!

Goals

Primary
Waist: 34.5" >>> 33"
Weight: 154.4 lbs >>> 145 lbs

Secondary
Upper arm: 14" flexed >>> 14 1/2" flexed
Adonis index (shoulder-to-waist ratio): 1.33 >>> 1.45

Signed up for my first DEXA scan on the 21st. Using that date as an initial progress deadline. I tend to lose focus over the course of a five-month Transformation. Trying to set up a few mileposts along the way to help me stay on track.

Just back from Fiji and was going to add some pics tonight. I know I am a little late but hopefully you will allow me a little grace given that I am mostly just here to keep myself and everyone else accountable.

Looks like some great entries this year.

Looking through the pics theres lots of people riiiight on that tipping point where some dramatic ending points can be had. Like losing 30 pounds could really be amazingly different on lots of the entrants I see here this year

Me too if it’s not too late.

Goal is the process for me this year. And avoid all possible speed bumps. But mostly just consistency. Will get photos tomorrow if that’s Okay.

Check in so far

Starting weight 105kg on 5th Jan
Down to 101.8kg this morning.

Guessing there is 2-3kg of water weight in that but i’ve tried not to cut carbs as harshly this cut as it doesn’t seem to suit me at the moment when i go really low carb.

This is borderline an act of domestic terrorism so close to New Years. The people you work with are deviants of the highest order and I’m honestly envious of you for that reason.
