Nicely done.

Getting the results you want is really what makes it all worth it. Very motivating to finally realize you can control and improve your body.

**kommisar** · 07-27-2015, 08:11 AM

might sound weird but getting help and confirmation from you guys is a huge boost in discipline for myself haha

**Reach** · 07-27-2015, 10:41 AM

No, it's not weird. Interacting with others makes fitness a lot easier. It helps with accountability and motivation.

I have gym partners, shared logs and whatnot that we use to track progress. There are lots of ways to do it. If anything I only recommend you continue to talk/share with others, whether here or irl, it definitely helps all around.

**kommisar** · 07-31-2015, 01:14 PM

been counting calories pretty meticulously with some days being more successful than others in terms of self control haha

starting july 21st,

21 - 2400
22 - 2555
23 - 3165
24 - 2550
25 - 2070
26 - 1722
27 - 1900
28 - 1795
29 - 1845
30 - 2020

rocky start but got a better routine and I'm not having as many urges to eat more than I should.

still eat chocolate sometimes tho idgaf

**Reach** · 07-31-2015, 01:34 PM

That's alright, I always recommend people still eat something they really enjoy. IF it fits your macros, or your caloric intake, then whatever. Enjoy it. You don't have to eat boring foods 100% of the time.

**kommisar** · 07-31-2015, 01:39 PM

it honestly feels more rewarding to eat something that's richer in fat/calories when limiting its intake throughout the week.

guess that would apply for anything though

**kommisar** · 08-4-2015, 07:08 PM

187lbs 15 days in

11lbs down, 12 to go

**Reach** · 08-4-2015, 09:33 PM

Damn, very nice work!

I'm just about down to 180. A few more lbs and I'll probably just stop. Not as lean as I would like but I'm bored of cutting. lol

**kommisar** · 08-8-2015, 06:07 AM

If I'm losing weight should I adjust the amount of calories I eat progressively? Or just keep within the same range until I reach my target weight

**Reach** · 08-8-2015, 09:40 AM

Keep the same range until you reach your target weight. At that point just slowly up your cals until your weight balances out.

**kmay** · 08-8-2015, 02:23 PM

i still haven't done anything to lose weight. i'm the worst when it comes to that. however i am still the same weight and people are saying i look a lot better. i work out really hard and have been adding more protein to my diet. hope that helps

**SCWolf** · 08-9-2015, 08:18 PM

Eat less food and you'll lose weight

**kommisar** · 08-13-2015, 03:58 AM

183lbs now. 8 more to go

**Reincarnate** · 08-18-2015, 04:57 PM

I've been hovering around 185 for a while now -- suddenly 180 this morning

**Reincarnate** · 08-19-2015, 04:52 PM

lol, 179!

Finally broke the 180 barrier.

I still have annoying curves, though. I guess I was warned about this. At some point I have to start making muscle-building a priority to help fill things out. Otherwise I am always going to look like a garbage bag full of corn flakes.

**Reach** · 08-19-2015, 07:03 PM

Start bulking soon.

Once you build up muscle, it'll give you the shape you want. Chest/delts/lats need to fill out in order to give you a V taper, and your waist will look 10x better because of it + building leg and butt muscle helps the waist look smaller as well.

**Reincarnate** · 08-19-2015, 09:28 PM

Just for the hell of it, woot:

Reach: The #1 thing (or rather, things) right now stopping me from being all gung-ho about a bulk is the fact that I still have a gut/"overhang" and man boobs.

It just feels like the only way to get rid of both is to cut, but maybe I'm underestimating the benefits of muscle at this point.

**Reach** · 08-19-2015, 09:35 PM

Would have to see your physique tbh.

Can pm it to me if you don't want to post here.

**Reincarnate** · 08-19-2015, 10:53 PM

I CAN DO A PULLUP NOW!

AHHHHHHHH

This is probably trivial to people who have decent strength / bodyweight, but for me it's always been this unachievable thing -- this is so awesome.

Last time I tried a pullup, I weighed a lot more, and couldn't hold onto the bar for more than 5 seconds if my life depended on it.

Felt a lot like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xF0ekZztOA&t=3m20s
