DAY 1 OF 90

I will reply to this post once per day for 90 days as I go from 192 πŸ‘‰ 175

You will witness my daily wins, losses, struggles, & anything in between

Watch & learn (feel free to join @TheGreat_Life & I...)

Shred thread πŸ‘‡

DAY 2 OF 90

2400 daily calories
189g protein/day
5-10k steps/day

188.9lbs this morning

-3.1lbs already

This is NOT all body fat!

This weight loss is a combination of depleted muscle glycogen, less water weight, and a tiny fraction of fat.

Let’s see what happens tomorrowπŸ€”

DAY 3 OF 90

Stayed within calories, hit protein goal, smashed steps yesterday

Back up to 190lbs this morning

Weight loss will NEVER be a straight line

Fluctuations WILL occur

Interesting enough... I see some pretty big changes already for very little change in body weight!

DAY 4 OF 90

190.4lbs today

Stayed within calories, hit protein goal, smashed steps yesterday

Noticed some hunger last night for the first time so far

As for progress... I noticeably feel leaner already, despite little change in weight

Should be sub part 190 again tmrw πŸ”₯

DAY 5 OF 90

190.2lbs

Weight hasn’t budged much, not worried

Changes ARE happening!

The scale can often be a misleading indicator... keep this in mind

Visiting fam today, will push fast longer to allow more diet flexibility later

(I’m at my other home, hence diff lighting)

DAY 6 OF 90

Had to take an evening photo rather than morning as my plans changed today & I wasn’t home

Also no weight measurement today...

However!

Stayed roughly around calories and ate whole nutritious foods while visiting my family

Excited to crush this upcoming week

DAY 7 OF 90

Back up to 192lbs today!

Ate over my calories yesterday (though good food)

Holding some water today.

This is exactly why I’m doing this shred thread

To show that fat loss doesn’t happen in a straight line!

Right back on track tomorrow πŸ’ͺ

DAY 8 OF 90

Back down to 188.8lbs πŸ“‰

Hoping to see a new low weigh in this week... think I should briefly touch 186 sometime this week

Calories lowered from 2400 to 2300

Protein intake kept constant.

Changes are happening!πŸ”₯

Let’s see what happens with lower cals 😜

DAY 9 OF 90

188.2lbs πŸ“‰

Definition is coming in. Definitely feeling leaner.

Yesterday:
-Hit 2300 calorie goal
-Smashed steps
-Pull workout

Body is finally starting to transition to lower cals... less hunger

Excited to see what happens later this week πŸ‘€

DAY 10 OF 90

188.8lbs πŸ“ˆ

Always remember... the scale DOES NOT tell the full story.

I can physically see and feel myself leaning out, yet the scale has hardly moved.

Smashed calories, steps yesterday.

Notes: sweet tooth cravings around 8pm, so I took protein shake instead

DAY 11 OF 90

187.8lbs πŸ“‰

Notice a HUGE difference in my midsection today...

And guess what!

I did NOTHING different than any other day.

Your body will do what it wants to, when it’s ready.

All you need to do is...

Trust the process and never miss a day twice.

DAY 12 OF 20

186.8lbs πŸ“‰

Cals are set at 2300 right now and fat is literally melting off

I even ate 2700 cals yesterday (good quality food) as I was hungry af...

And I awoke to another pound off.

Honestly, today I will eat 2700 again as I don’t want to drop weight too quick!

DAY 13 OF 90

187.8lbs πŸ“ˆ

Spent the day visiting family for my Aunt’s birthday, it was nice

Had a few beers, a burger, cupcake

Didn’t track it & don’t need to

If your diet plan doesn’t allow for some flexibility to live your life on special occasions...

You need a new plan.

DAY 14 OF 90

No weigh in today (no scale access)❌

Got right back on track after yesterday!

Smashed calories, steps, workout

Feeling leaner by the day & I notice my face slimming out compared to two weeks ago

10 weeks to go!

πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

DAY 15 OF 90

187.0lbs πŸ“‰

Daily calories remain at 2300 this week

Hunger is subsiding, definitely adjusting to the lower calories

Less sugar cravings as well

Gets easier day by day, but this WILL change in the coming weeks as I lean out

Noticing big changes!

DAY 16 OF 90

186.8lbs πŸ“‰

All smooth sailing yesterday and today

Minimal hunger/cravings

Definitely notice my face thinning out by the day

Ate a little over my calories today in preparation for a hard leg day tomorrow πŸ”₯

DAY 17 OF 90

186.0lbs πŸ“‰

More weight loss still at 2300 calories!

Protein still set at 1g/lb of bodyweight daily

Will likely eat a little over cals tomorrow as I don’t want to drop weight too fast.

Pics were taken on time! Just a few hours late uploading πŸ’ͺ

DAY 18 OF 90

186.6lbs πŸ“ˆ

Actually happy my weight didn’t dip into the 185’s today

Excited to see changes by day 30

DAY 19 OF 90

185.6lbs πŸ“‰

Huge drop in weight today!

DAY 25 OF 90

183.6lbs πŸ“‰πŸ˜³

Eating 2700 calories (maintenance), doing absolutely nothing different

DAY 30 OF 90

186.6lbs πŸ“ˆ

Today is a prime example of why I created this thread

Only problem is now gyms are closed for another MONTH in Ontario πŸ™ƒ

DAY 33 OF 90

Scale doesn’t reflect the changes happening

This is why the scale can be misleading for fat loss!

Trust the process, keep going

DAY 42 OF 90

Cardio increases

Deload week is over. Time to crush some hard workouts again

182.8lbs πŸ“ˆ

2100 cals, ~187g protein

Definitely feeling some hunger and cravings later in the night around 8-9pm

My fav way to eliminate cravings is timing a protein shake between those hours, then brushing my teeth right after.

DAY 47 OF 90

182.4lbs πŸ“‰

2100 cals, ~180g protein

No hunger today (had a nice steak for dinner)

DAY 49 OF 90

186.0lbsπŸ“ˆ

Depleted all muscle glycogen and water weight, extended fast worked great

Starting to feel very lean

Ready to dial things in for the final 40 days πŸ‘€

DAY 51 OF 90

181.9lbs πŸ“‰

Trying to get as consistent lighting as I can but it’s tough right now (moving houses)

Let’s keep it going πŸ‘€πŸ™Œ

DAY 52 OF 90

No weigh in today ❌

Shreds are slowly coming in for sure

Noticing veins on my abs in good lighting πŸ‘€

Haven’t even implemented any real cardio yet, just daily steps

Slow cardio ramp up very soon.

DAY 53 OF 90

184.0lbs πŸ“ˆ

The scale doesn’t tell the full story

I’m leaning down like crazy yet my weight is going up

If you’re doing the right things, stop worrying so much about the scale.

Have a video shoot all day today, super stoked

No fasting or workout today ❌

DAY 54 OF 90

184.5lbs πŸ“ˆ

Still effectively leaning out while my body weight doesn’t really change

Calories are still set at 2100

Protein 185 grams per day

I’m very excited for the final 30 days πŸ’ͺ

DAY 55 OF 90

184.0lbs πŸ“‰

I believe I’m eating a little over 2100 the last while

Hence why my weight isn’t moving too much.

But I’m not eating the wrong foods... just too much food overall

Going to drop to 2000 at Day 60 and dial in from there

DAY 56 OF 90

185.2lbs πŸ“ˆ

2000 cals incoming tomorrow πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Feeling great, ready to take it next level!

183.8lbs πŸ“‰

This is yesterday’s photo, just delayed posting it.

Dropped to 1900 cals yesterday rather than 2000

184g of protein per day

Will maintain this caloric level for a few weeks and see what happens

DAY 58 OF 90

182.5lbs πŸ“‰

Starting to feel like a feather during workouts πŸ˜‚

Any body weight exercise is a breeze

Most of my pants also now slide down without a belt. Good signs! πŸ‘€

DAY 59 OF 90

181.9lbs πŸ“‰

Hitting 1900 cals and 182g of protein is definitely a task πŸ‘€

But i love watching the changing happen πŸ”₯

DAY 60 OF 90

182.2lbs πŸ“ˆ

Had a refeed day, 2500 calories or so

Hunger is manageable

Push workout was greatπŸ”₯

DAY 61 OF 90

182.6lbs πŸ“ˆ

In the midst of moving houses, was unable to post until late today

Pull workout was excellent though.

Pull-ups get easier and easier the lighter you get and I love it!

Also, people around me are starting to notice my weight/fat loss

Good signs!

DAY 62 OF 90

182.2lbs πŸ“‰

Had some drinks last night with some friends

How did I still hit my protein and caloric goal?

I don’t drink often, but when I do, I prioritize heavy protein earlier in the day (thus shorter fast that day)

Then have some drinks later

Works great
