Day 22

09/01/2021 364lbs
01/02/2021 360lbs
09/02/2021 357.4lbs
15/02/2021 355lbs
22/02/2021 351.6lbs

Total Weightloss: -12.4lbs


Another 3.4lbs  :woohoo:

Looks like the combo is still going strong! I think IF has been a big part of driving fat loss during this whilst not hindering my muscle progression, but obviously the loss is mostly driven by my deficit  :tu:

Day 24

Today was biceps, the cats going nuts at hearing a cat fight outside cut my bike time short  :facepalm:

Planning to have a chippy on Friday, so instead of just losing most of my allowance, I left 200 calories today to compensate and will probably leave off some more on Thursday too  :tu:

If only we could sell the weight we get rid of!
I hope things improve for you soon.

Most of the weight we lose leaves our bodies through breathing, in the form of C02 and water.  Krazy.  :afro:

Shoulders today (man I hate lateral raises) but felt like I pushed myself the perfect amount  :tu:

Looking forward to a giant chippy dinner tomorrow though  :drool:

Day 27

Today was meant to be chest and triceps, but I fell asleep before I worked out  :facepalm: Well at least the curry I had was within my limits and I fasted for 16 hours  :woohoo:

Should I continue to day 30 with this or stick to the calendar month of 28?  :think:

This is a non-tool challenge, so there is no issue with it overlapping with tool challenges. I did this along with the EDC challenge. So you can go full 30 for this. :cheers:

Day 28

Game day means no work out, but a 16 1/2 hour fast and 388 calories under my restriction, hopefully it all reflects on the scales tomorrow  :tu:

Another pound down, I'm going to assume water weight or something since I've kept to my restriction, over-fasted and still worked out  :think:

02/03/2021 349lbs

Total Weightloss: -15lbs


That's a better reading  :cheers: Last night was biceps and back with a little  (5 minutes) of stationary bike thrown in.

That's the end of the official challenge, although the weightloss effort will continue for me for likely over a year. One of my aims was to not lose weight too quickly (loose skin is something I really want to avoid) and build a sustainable lifestyle. Intermittent Fasting, combined with weight training and a reasonable everyday calorie restriction I think is a sustainable lifestyle to continue onwards with. I'm pretty pleased with the 15lbs so far, and I believe I'm on course to hit 100lbs lost in October/November time. Thanks for all the encouragement all, I'll still check in here with progress now and then  :tu:

Thanks guys  :hatsoff:

Is there a way to see what badges you've requested? I thought I requested this one, but to be honest I'm not sure if I did now  :oops:
