Haha yeah, i think it's nice to see numbers visualized for easy trend spotting. I'm guessing after the sharp drop in muscle glycogen and water weight, the weight loss should more or less slow down at about a pound every 4-5 days.

Ate again at night since I was invited to have some food... slowing down the progress but maybe it's for the better so i don't drop too quick

pretty sure my weight is "stabilized" now meaning any further weight loss is “real” and not just continued water and glycogen weight loss

Worked out at a different gym. Also had to work out while fasted (usually those are my rest days), yet I was still able to increase from 100x3 to 100x5 on the incline db bench. Goes to show how much it helps to have proper dumbbells to lift with, and a proper warm up scheme (lots of dumbbells missing at my usual gym).

Makes me wonder if, when I was at 100x5 at my current less than decent gym, would I have hit 100x8 at this gym?

Did not expect to drop another 2lbs. Probably due to lifting while fasting today - dryer than usual.

Had a bit of a re-feed after that 194.0 weigh in. Not sure if ill continue the re-feed the next day or what

Dreyth · « **Reply #1340 on:** December 02, 2019, 05:20:19 pm »

Re-fed the same day of the 194.0lb reading (after weighing myself), and the following day.
Currently doing an all-day fast again, and should hit lower body tomorrow.

So I went from a 201.8lb dry fasted weight (after being carbed up) to a 196.6lbs dry fasted weight (after being carbed up).
That's a 4.2lb drop in 12 days. Pretty good. Haven't lost much of any strength yet either. In fact, my RDL increased.

I feel so much better eating less. I can't stress this enough. Much less laziness throughout the day, I don't sleep through entire mornings, etc. Of course it makes weightlifting progress stagnate, but I think this should provide me motivation to only do very slow lean bulks moving forward if anything. I don't want to lose this feeling of being light and awake.

The mornings after which I don't fast I am just wide awake. Even if I wake up in the middle of the night, like 2-3am and go pee... I'm very alert and aware. Not dragging myself back to bed like a zombie.

DB Bench dropped by a rep on the backup rep. Sucks especially after being carbed up from last night. However, the rest of my lifts were strong, so I chalk it up to not enough volume. Added in another backup set this workout.

Didn't want to eat last night but did anyway. So having only about 1200cal today and then fasting till after tomorrow morning's pre-workout meal. Hopefully I don't get invited to another dinner to mess this up lol

Dreyth · « **Reply #1348 on:** December 10, 2019, 05:27:26 pm »

No change in weight. Probably due to eating all that desi food on 12/8 after my weigh in. chicken korma, garlic n cheese naan, rice pudding, mango lassi... couldnt resist

doing well today though. hopefully i go to bed without eating at all today

edit: just turned down a dinner invitation at a friend of a friend's pizza shop. all that free cheesy goodness....

Not sure how much longer I can keep up the 315x5 squat and 385x6 RDL on this cut, but we'll see. I've lost a decent amount of weight so far without strength loss so i should still be happy with a slight decline in strength even as I head towards 190lb bw and below (dry fasted weight)
