Today I start my second cut since I started this website/blog. I am weighing in at 190.2 lbs and I am in noticeably better shape than when I originally weighed in before my last cut on 7/22/19 (see details on my previous cut progress page). My goal is to get back down to the 175 lb mark for the warmer months of summer. If I lose 1 pound a week (my goal) this would put me at goal weight in mid-June.
Sometimes I lose more than a pound a week and sometimes I gain a little bit of temporary weight due to cheat days/meals. The point of these progress pages is so that anyone can follow along with how a real persons weight loss (or gain) journey is accomplished on a week to week basis. This way people can see that with careful planning and a little bit of willpower you can slowly lose fat as well, while also doing the most to preserve muscle. You don’t want to lose weight too fast because this sacrifices a lot of fat torching muscle in the process and most people tend to be miserable during these crash diets and tend to rebound from them.
Week 1
- 3/2 – 190.2
- 3/3 – 190.2
- 3/4 – 188.2
- 3/5 – 188.2
- 3/6 – 188.2
- 3/7 – 187.2
- 3/8 – 187.2
So far so good. Since I am used to eating more food on my bulk so I have been having some carb cravings before bed, and I have been caving to them. They haven’t been bad and I have limited them well which shows in the week above. I don’t really feel or look too much different yet, but I seem to be maintaining my strength and muscle mass from what I can tell.
