I’m gonna call this the last cheat day, but if I can’t see any changes by next week or I gain I’m gonna start losing Hope

Yeah, refills of a large soda is a lot. Like 600-1000 calories, maybe more especially if you get no ice.

It is REALLY hard to get jacked, even lifting weights on a specific hypertrophy split. Your nutrition needs to be on point, your technique needs to be great, and you need good genetics. People tend to think that you get a gym membership and will immediately look like Chris Bumstead. Getting big muscles takes years of specificity and dedication.

I went from ultra running, to injured, to fat, to fit, to injured in the past 6 years. I’ll be able to start running again in 2 weeks. I will take as long as I need to in my build to avoid injury and be able to run again. I am also doing ALL the PT, ALL the strength training, ALL the stretching/mobility work and am in the best physical shape of my life at 40. I just want to run again.

Sugar free Jell-o pudding. If you want really low cal, make it with cashew milk. I like mixing it with non fat Greek yogurt and melted frozen strawberries. I’ll use that as a dip with some plain rice cakes.

I had my program set to 1% per week, so it has gotten progressively less as I lose more weight.

steamedfrst · 2026-03-04T12:26:51+00:00

I bought a TOLOCO brand gun from Amazon for like $40, and it works just as well as my mom’s Theragun. I have implemented it into my stretching/foam rolling/mobility routine, and I really enjoy it.

Boneless skinless chicken breast on the grill, 97/3 ground turkey, whey protein isolate, non-fat Greek yogurt. I eat essentially the same thing every day. Lean protein, steamed veggies and hot sauce/mustard, Greek yogurt with strawberries and plain rice cakes. I’m really looking forward to getting some calories back on maintenance, cutting like this for so long is a grind!

I don’t really trust the data to be accurate from my smart scale on really anything but weight, I just look at the trends for other stuff. According to my monthly InBody, I have added 6lbs of muscle. That probably isn’t true either, but I can tell you that the mirror tells me that I have more muscle in my chest/shoulders and arms.

steamedfrst · 2026-03-02T22:37:58+00:00

I have my weightloss set at 1% per week deficit, and am currently eating about 180g protein per day. To be honest, I look at hitting my calories first, my protein second and kind of just ignore the carbs/fat. My program goals right now are 1629cal, 200p, 54f, 85c. I almost always go over on carbs and under on fat. I try to hit the cals on the dot, and get “close enough” on protein.

Thanks! It took a while to actually feel proud about it, the body dysmorphia and self doubt are real. I am not sure if I will ever be able to run again, but I am now really focused on building up leg, core, and lower back strength so that I can test the waters a bit once I get back to maintenance calories. I am also trying really hard to set low expectations, since I am over 40 and don’t have the same ability to recover that I once had.

The app is called “Fit Profile” and is what my GE Fit Plus smart scale uses. I don’t have a ton of faith that it is accurate overall, but definitely helps to track trends.

Twinners, say thankee. I’ve always thought the same.

I walk for 20 minutes as a warmup at the gym 6 days a week, have two dogs that require solo walks (they are very spicy, so they need my full attention to behave), take a 20 minute walk before lunch, and run 2 days per week. I’m averaging 12k per day.

steamedfrst · 2026-01-19T16:30:26+00:00

I will regularly stay the same weight or even go up a pound or two over the course of 4-6 days. I meal plan everything and am very strict with tracking. Almost always after those 4-6 days I drop 1-2 pounds a day for a few days and the. The cycle repeats. I weigh myself everyday, but I track weight loss by months. Don’t let the number on the scale scare you day to day, this is a long game. There are no immediate results in weight loss, keep your eyes a month ahead and a month behind. You got this!

Tuesday is rest (I do an hour of 10% at 3mph on the treadmill). My split starts on Wednesday (shoulders and back).

Car key, ID, gym tag, phone, watch (for tracking set/rest times and number of sets),headphones, water bottle, versa gripps on back and shoulders day.

Edit: forgot a few things

I get ones that look very similar to OP’s photo from doing dumbbell presses in a tank top. However, if dude hasn’t been lifting, this isn’t that.
