40 pounds in 40 days! Attempt number 2
- Thread starter FUCKYOU
- Start date
9-11-2010.. 268 pounds.. day 6... 10 pounds down!!!
ur setting yourself up weighing ur self so much. That scale wont tell you if your BMI is decreasing or what you're actually losing.
I'm telling you weight goes up and down and once you stop seeing rapid loss you're going to get depressed and lose motivation. But this is a life style change or it should be, so whats the difference if you lose 10 lbs this week or lose it over the next few weeks?
You're concentrating on the wrong result. Go by your clothes and how ur body looks. Can you take ur shirt off outside without being embarassed? No? So what does it matter that u lost 10 lbs?
Not trying to bust ur bubble, weighing yourself constantly will eventually do that, but trying to show u the goal is to look in shape and be in shape not to weigh some ridiculous number.
When you get ripped and can walk with no shirt on thats weight you should be. Put the scale in the garage my dude
bro i hear u but with much respect u cant tell me that im setting my self up if that scale reads 238 in the next few weeks.. the bottom line is that im losing weight BMI count or not... 238 is 238 that aint water loss or non of that shit! that will be a great accomplishment.. i dont care about BMI.. at 238 my BMI will sure as hell wont be what it was when i was 327... lets keeep it funky my G
Main reason why weighing yourself everyday is not encouraged is because as soon as you stop losing. Even start gaining. Then you will probably get depressed, discouraged, and drop this whole weight loss plan all together.
Not to mention, all of the loses you are getting now is water. Which means, you can gain it back just as easy.
I'm planning on getting back on my p90x/muay thai workout this monday. I had a thyroid problem not to long ago and I'm finally adjusting to my meds.
well i know what u guys are saying is true because it has happened b4.. but im just a hard headed nigga.. damn smh
depends on the person
i weight myself daily after everywork
sometimes i go a while without weighing myself
when i see the scale starting tipping back up i know im slacking in my diet or workout and i get back on my shit untill i see that bitch stuck on 170lbs
Bruh, you are going for drastic weight loss, you better have your fat ass on that scale every morning at the same time.
Everybody I know that seriously cuts is on the scale every day making sure shit is going right.Take weekly photos of you fat ass under the same conditions. Pick a day and stick to that day and take some pictures once a week so you can stay motivated watching your fat ass turn into a human being again.
Good luck, I hope you are posting from the gym.
u know what thats real talk to because it has also pushed me to go harder.. it has dome both tho

Both are right depending on your mindset. It just seems that people I know going for serious cuts are on the scale everyday.
I have seen people avoid the scale only to hop on it after 4-5 days and it hasn't moved and they just say
"fuck it" and run to Wendy's. They thought they were putting in work at the gym and had the diet going right, but they didn't. 
Yes.
Exactly. Keep going FUCKYOU. Congrats on a good week and stay focused man.

When are you going to clean your dirty ass scale and floors, nicca?
Diet and working out.. and taking supplements.. in the gym every day.. heavy cardio/heavy weights and trying to stay under 1000 calories a day.. had my days were i fucked up tho but im still droppin
Whats the break down? my cousin looking to drop some weigh, I will pass this along to him to see if he interested.
Ay bruh..... congrats on your success so far. I know you're getting a lot of conflicting advice in this thread so I hate to throw one more viewpoint out here when it's already so thick in the field. I think it's important though.
If you have any idea what your LBM is (lean body mass) try not to bring your cals down below maybe LBM*10 or maybe 12.
Reason being that you want to preserve as much muscle as possible especially since you're lifting and doing cardio. At some point you're going to plateau and you won't have anywhere to go with your cals. You might wanna start higher and give yourself some room to play with and reduce cals as you go along. For a big dude like you starting at 1000 cals is bad news and pretty unsustainable.
Anyways.... good job so far. Taking care of your health is a blessing man.... life gets better as you get more fit to enjoy it.
I didn't get a chance to read all the advice in this thread but alexw dropped some science earlier that I hope you incorporated ie building your diet around lean protein and veggies. Shit works.
Good luck and stay up man. I hope this thread encourages more people to take the steps you have.

No worries man
At the end of the day results are what matters and you'll never go wrong listening to your body and watching your results like a hawk.
Keep pushing mayne

appreciate that bro!
Keep up the good work brother. Anticipate and prepare for your "quit point" and visualize yourself fighting through it. The biggest problem for people is failing to anticipate the point where your mind is telling you it's not worth it. Happens to all of us. What separates the "men" from the "women" is what you do when you get there. I'll be checking in on you to track your progress.

great words bro! thanks
Man I cant see why you dont look at the fatty areas on your body and judge by whether they are shrinking or not. So what ur 268 now, alot of football players are 268 and ripped.
So what you get to 228 but if you still look like a mushy pile of playdoe is that success?? No. It matters more if your body is changing in the mirror, if you pants size is shrinking or if you're seeing defintion
Losing scale weight JUST means you're a smaller version of your fat self bro. That aint nothing to post about. Sorry for the tough luv but I been there
