Shred thread π
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.
Letβs see what happens tomorrowπ€
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 π₯
DAY 5 OF 90
190.2lbs
Weight hasnβt 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
(Iβm 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 wasnβt 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 Iβm doing this shred thread
To show that fat loss doesnβt happen in a straight line!
Right back on track tomorrow πͺ
DAY 8 OF 90
Back down to 188.8lbs π
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!π₯
Letβs see what happens with lower cals π
DAY 9 OF 90
188.2lbs π
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 π
DAY 10 OF 90
188.8lbs π
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 π
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 itβs ready.
All you need to do is...
Trust the process and never miss a day twice.
DAY 12 OF 20
186.8lbs π
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 donβt want to drop weight too quick!
DAY 13 OF 90
187.8lbs π
Spent the day visiting family for my Auntβs birthday, it was nice
Had a few beers, a burger, cupcake
Didnβt track it & donβt need to
If your diet plan doesnβt 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)β
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!
π₯π₯π₯
DAY 15 OF 90
187.0lbs π
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 π
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 π₯
DAY 17 OF 90
186.0lbs π
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 donβt want to drop weight too fast.
Pics were taken on time! Just a few hours late uploading πͺ
DAY 18 OF 90
186.6lbs π
Actually happy my weight didnβt dip into the 185βs today

Excited to see changes by day 30
DAY 19 OF 90

DAY 25 OF 90
183.6lbs ππ³
Eating 2700 calories (maintenance), doing absolutely nothing different
Yet I wake up nearly 3lbs lighter in ONE day
When your body wants to lose fat.... it will.
THIS is why you need to KEEP GOING!
Donβt stop when the going gets tough.

Iβm very excited for the final 30 days πͺ
DAY 55 OF 90
184.0lbs π
I believe Iβm eating a little over 2100 the last while
Hence why my weight isnβt moving too much.
But Iβm not eating the wrong foods... just too much food overall
Going to drop to 2000 at Day 60 and dial in from there

Had a refeed day, 2500 calories or so
Hunger is manageable
Push workout was greatπ₯

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 π
Had some drinks last night with some friends
How did I still hit my protein and caloric goal?
I donβt 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
