Havnt been on the forum much in quite a while and when I was I tried to avoid this particular group because I knew this was exactly were I would get the answers I didnt want to hear, lol. So... I ignored what I read here and did 2 cycles at a very high body fat %. They went horribly worng. I gained some muscle that quickly turned into fat and found my self at 275 pounds right around Christmas time. OBESE... Right now I am 6' 235 roughly 25%. That is DOWN 40 pounds. I have dedicated this year to cutting that shit out. I want to get to a point where I can actually do a cycle that helps me and doesnt hurt me. I dont mind the flames... it was stupid... But I am here now for support. I am going to try and keep a log of my activities during this next part of my diet. I am working extremely hard but the last 2 weeks it has gotten difficult to stick with it because I am seeing the results start to come much slower where as before I was literally melting daily.
My current schedule:
Mon-Sat
8am about an hour of weights. I am not lifting heavy just keeping the muscles moving and trying to halp make sure I lose as little muscle as possible
9am I do an hour of cardio usually elyptical with some treadmill jogging mixed in
7pm I go back and do another hour of cardio
Sundays no lifting. Just 2 hours of cardio
My diet is not as dialed in as Id like but whatever I am doing it seems to be working...
1900 calories
200 grams of protein ( sometimes more of this comes from a shake then I would like, working on that)
250 grams of carbs
75 grams of fat
I am not exact on these numbers its just kind of been my guide. More often then not I come in below on many of those figures. Sometimes a bit high.
I have cut out all fast food and all carbonated drinks with the exception of the occasional redbull and maybe one night a month out for a few beers. I am going to Vegas this weekend. I know I wont stick to the diet but I plan to be back on next week. My new goal as of next Tuesday is another 20 pounds by June 25th. Please feel free to chime in with any critique or support!
