Fat loss - Round 2

[SOEX]

Monday, I'm at 186.5. Not too bad. I've dropped the protein only thing, added a little oat bran to my 3 carb 50 protein drinks.

Feeling good, back on ephedrine, which seems to elevate my mood.

Week 7 of my diet, and things are still strong. I like the no cheat day routine, it makes things easier after a while.

I'm just waiting for that fat around my abs to go, and then hoping the chest fat under my nips will die down a little. I hate that stuff more than anything in the world. I figure I'll be doing this another 10 weeks. But that's ok, the diets not too hard anymore. It's just the patience for time to go by, that's HARD.

Anyway, I'll check in with you guys again tomorrow.

Well, 2 days later, and I'm at 185.4. Still going strong, beef, protein drinks with oat bran. Losing fat, but damn, Halloweens coming up and I don't think I'm going to be in shape enough for a really sweet costume.

We'll see how I look in 10 more days, I really think it's going to be another 9-10 weeks before I look the way I want. So much fat, so little time.

How you guys doing?

Hey SOEX... a lb in 2 days... not bad bro !

I've had a great week so far... tons of gut busting/almost fainting AM cardio, and a kick-ass workout today followed by a nice carb refeed meal. The true test will come Monday morning though... keep it up bros...

Congrats SOEX and Cuts. Me this week has been mediocre, couldn't run yesterday cause of the rain, and I think I am still coming down with the flu. Went ahead and ate some carbs last night hoping that my body would battle this shit out of me. No Luck, maybe I can run it out this morning.

Last I weighed I was down to 228. So small progress this week, I think I need to get into ketosis for two weeks at a time, my body doesn't seem to go back in for awhile after eating carbs.

Thanks guys. But I'm worried I'm losing muscle in there too. I can be honest though, I'd rather be SUPER lean and have a little of my muscle left than fat and have all of it. I'm pretty confident I can build it back without gaining weight, just going to take some time. Self esteem reasons, I'm much better off being lean.

Also, if you guys want to know my workout routine I'll post it below.

Daily I do:
*32 sets of weights (whatever happens to be not hurting at the time)
*600 sit ups/crunches (200 full situps on a inclined bench, then 400 little rolly crunchy things that my gym has)
*10 miles on a bike, with my HR at about 150-170 (170 is hard!)
*15-20 minutes of stretching afterwards.

I also play hockey 2 times a week, and practice once a week.

I go to the gym 2 times a day 4 days out of the week. Cut those numbers in half for thurs, sat and sun. May seem like over training, but the more I'm in there, the more motivated I am. If I'm doing work, I'm thinking about the rewards. The more I think of those rewards, the more I want them.

9 days till Club Rubber comes to San Diego! I want to look lean! Don't know if I'll make it, but thankfully the costume I want to wear covers me anyway. It sure would be sweet to be able to show a little bod off though. Eh, I can wait till new years.

Guys, we can do this easy. Secret, keep yourself busy. Don't let the cravings kick in. If you start getting food cravings, go to the lake/beach/park. Relax in the sun, or something like that. The more you keep your mind busy, the less time you have to think about food.

Just got back from the gym, today is normally my day off, but being 9 days, there are no more days off...

184.3

Thinking about adding more carbs, but not sure if it'll really matter in the long run. I'm liking the progress, albeit slow. Guess I'll just do some rebuilding with super lowfat, mod carb, high protein after the diet when everything is gone. Better thin that fat.

I've started my own journal in ther journal section.

I'm at 186lbs right now. BF circa 8%.

And holy shit! you work out long enough SOEX?

I only train 2-3 max 4 times/week

I tend to obsess over things.

Being that I'm recently single, I kinda went nuts. But now it's really turned into something I want. I've challenged myself, I can't back down. I look forward to my gym times now, I'm actually bummed I'm going to be working tonight, so I'm not able to go again.

I'm probably overtraining, but I really feel good. My body seems to be getting into great shape.

Holy shit SOEX how many total hours is that!? But hey bro... if it's working--and it seems like it is--stick to it! Well your post sure did motivate me! If you can do THAT bro, I know I can do my pussy program lol!

Hey Fonz quick question for you man: what is your formula for fat loss and muscle maintenance? Low/no carb with refeeds? Or more "balanced" caloric restriction like a BFL-type diet?

Balanced caloric restriction and Tren.

When BF drops below 6%, you have to start rotating carbs.
Or add DNP
