Are you tracking you calorie intake? What's your BF% at currently? Seems strange that at your activity level you're struggling to lose weight.

Yes, I’m tracking my calories. Don’t know my BF% but I’m doing an inbody analysis this weekend to get a very detailed analysis (BF%, lean body mass, water content etc)

And I’m not struggling to lose weight. I’m down 17lbs since the start of the year which is ~1.7lbs a week. My target is 1.25-1.5lbs a week which is about 5-6lbs a month. Good and sustainable. Heard you don’t wanna do more than 2lbs a week.

It’s just that I could be further ahead is all. I kinda yo-yo’d around the same 2-3lbs.

Last few weeks I stalled a bit but I attribute it to 1) not being as tight on my calorie counting/guesstimating a bit too much, especially with the carbs like pasta/rice and 2) some weekends where I drank more than I should mainly because of social functions.

I’ve tightened things up though. Even brought a second food scale to work and left it in my locker :manny:

But I’m still ahead of the curve. I have a graph where I plot expected weight loss against actuals. The expected weight loss is a straight line downward slope over time and as far as I’m “below” that line, I’m good. Still below that line with a gap but that gap could/should have been bigger.

18 days left before Q1 is over and I should hit my first key milestone by next weekend all else being equal.


Aye, that’s what it legit said on the menu :whoa:

My regular saturday soccer group has started with their BS of not securing a field.

Might be time to rejoin the Naija and Cameroonian brehs :manny:

I don’t play with my weekend footie, especially as we got rain forecast for Friday and Sunday.

My Friday shoulder days aren’t as hardcore as my M-Th so I’ve thrown in a 1.75mil run back home after the gym. Take the bus there, run back.

5/5 this week

:manny:

I bet it’s affiliated with the local high school football team
High schools be having weight rooms like that?.... Canada really sucks when it comes to collegiate athletics. A weightroom like that wouldn't even be in 90% of the universities here..... only the "big names" would have a "decent" setup...... :francis:

Some places but it’s all economically driven. Not the not at all. Texas high school football is a different animal. Crazy $
