Weight loss over 4 months (age 30 / 188 cm / 74,7 kg) - Pics and data!

@phamhuy223 Hang them on my weight belt to do weighted pull ups and dips mainly. I have 4kg, 8kg and 16kg so I can progress in steps of 4kg.

@xlembonis nice! I am about as tall as you, just finished a four month cut, going from 80 kg to 74 kg. You definitively look better. I'll have to do something about those 25 years I have on you!

@xlembonis hey luckily you look great cause that infograph is garbage! lmao great job on the weight loss

 

[xlembonis]

@onestrongwriter Lol thanks, I tried. I see a relation between weight and average caloric intake which I thought was nice. Also it shows how non-linear weight loss is. But I guess the presentation could be better.

 

[onestrongwriter]

@xlembonis No it says 4 months in the header then the x axis is just tracking 4 days so it's confusing

 

[xlembonis]

@onestrongwriter I get it. Though formatting here in the Netherlands is day-month-year and it says days because data is plotted on a day timeline.

 

[onestrongwriter]

@xlembonis Time axis is in days as labeled which determines your input data which creates the trend line so it's mislabeled in the header, as your progress over 4 months, when the trend line according to the axis label shows days.

 

[xlembonis]

@onestrongwriter Aha yes you are right.

 

[onestrongwriter]

@xlembonis Has nothin to do with the conflicting date convention

@xlembonis Your nerdiness is somehow even hotter than your newly acquired abs, congrats

 

[purplelady]

@xlembonis Was this part of your bulk-cut cycles?

 

[xlembonis]

@purplelady No I never really did bulking, maybe naturally though haha, but I just felt like cutting and this was my second time cutting ever after a failed first attempt.

@xlembonis Good job not letting the holidays ruin all your hard work! I struggle with that any tips?

 

[xlembonis]

@johnmartin I think it's more important to enjoy nice food and drinks during holidays. Don't ruin that with feelings of guilt/regret or you'll damage your psychological relationship with food.

You could prevent this by compensating beforehand with a stricter lower intake in the week before so you can just eat at maintenance or above during holidays. Bonus: You will be appreciating the food during holidays even more and will feel like an earned reward! Tip: Don't heavily compensate the day before holidays, you want to feel nice and excited for what's to come, not low on energy.

Furthermore, consider the holiday as a diet break, which benefit recovery of hormones/metabolism and sustainable weight loss in the long run, i.e. your cutting after the holiday will be more effective and be less susceptible for regaining weight after ending your cut.

Still track what you eat in some way, just ballpark estimate the calories in your head at least, to prevent excess.

Last resort: Compensate afterwards (over multiple days or a week).

I guess it's about getting yourself a toolbox with solutions you can trust so you don't have to worry during the holidays.
