Looking good! Care to share your diet and workout plans too?
On May 1, I weighed 223 lbs. My goal was to get to 210 by the end of the 8th week. As far as cardio goes, I did 40 mins on the stairstepper first thing every morning then another 40 mins every evening. I am able to burn 800 calories in that 80 mins. Of the 56 days, I only took one day completely off and that was Father's Day. Two of the days, I was only able to get 40 of the 80 mins in bc I was wore out.
My lifting routine was a 4 day split, shoulders/traps, Bi/Tri, Legs, Chest. I eliminated my back day bc I had been focusing on that over the last yr and just wanted a break. Of the 56 days, I took 2 days off, and I know that was dumb.
My diet consisted of mainly protein shakes, salads, beef jerky, tuna, peanutbutter sandwiches, and cottage cheese. I eliminated milk altogether. I was hitting around 2000 calories a day, which put me at 1200 after what I burnt with the cardio. I drank a ton of water, around 150 oz a day.
I lost weight way faster than I expected and was down to 205 by the end of the 4th week but I felt my strength and energy was going down too, so I added 750-1000 calories a day back to my diet for the remainder and my strength and energy came back. I ended around 212.
