Total Loss: 72.8lb
Yay! This has been a week of good eating and exercising; after two “bad” weeks it feels great to back on track. As well as the loss I’ve poked another hole in the belt, which I love having to do 
.
To change things up this week I ate more (2000 calories per day), snacked more (smaller “meals”, more often) and I nailed my 3x strength + 3x cardio workouts. Who knows what combination of these changes made the biggest impact, or maybe none of them, but I’m going to keep things the same this week and see what happens.
Saying aloud ”I’ve lost 70lb” is awesome. That’s massive. It means I’m now about 1/3 of the way towards my first goal weight, come on! My average over the last 20 weeks is 3.6lb/week, which is more than “health professionals recommend”. This concerns me slightly because I don’t want to lose muscle mass along with my fat, which I’m sure has been happening a little (according to the bio-impedance in my scales). Perhaps losing some muscle is inevitable, but I’d much prefer an “honest” fat loss if possible.
Looking ahead 6 months, I’m going to aim for a consistent 3lb/week loss, modifying my diet/exercise as appropriate. Coincidentally, this burn rate gives me a major goal that I can hit on my birthday (16th August): under 20 stone. I feel so happy just thinking about that .
Way to go! It’s great having to adjust the belt.
Congrats to you!!! That is really something to be proud of!!!!
My trainer was just telling me last night that I need to be eating more calories to get the loss I want. It’s surprising to hear, but I think you’re on to something.
Wow! 4.6 pounds is awesome! Good job, man!
Congrats on your new milestone! That’s freaking awesome!
