Is wanting to lose 50 lbs by November asking too much?
A bunch of people on lolreddit said weight loss isn't going to be that steady/ill hit pleateaus/itll randomly stop/etc.
I'm counting calories like a hawk so I am well within my deficit range. I also walk 5 miles every day. Once I get some running shoes I'll work my way into running. Along with weight lifting once I get a bench/rack.
Isaiah Thompson
why does it need to be by november
Isaiah Gutierrez
Im planning a cut on the first of july to November and hope to lose around 45lbs. Holy shit its going to be a tough five months.
Logan Adams
just a goal I set
Jack Davis
if ur gonna suffer a lot why not just push the self made goal back to like january or something
Lucas Bennett
It shouldn't be, you can lose 1 kg/2 lbs a week but i don't think thats healthy especially if you do it longterm unless you are really overweight I lost about 25 kg in 10 months
Gabriel Roberts
I'm doing that so I can bulk from November to whenever and cut.
When doing the bulking cycle (which I've never lifted before). How many pounds is it normal to bulk up before cutting again? I've got basically no muscle on me.
Benjamin Rivera
2 lbs a week is the healthiest you can lose..
I'm 5'8, 200-ish lbs.
Everyone on reddit says I WILL stall, plateaus WILL happen, you can't stop them, etc.
Brayden Jones
You can do it. It won't be fun, but it will be worth it.
Always keep in mind why you're doing it, not how crappy you may feel or how much you don't want to go work out.
I believe in you, champ
James Williams
Just grab some DNP and go to town. I lost about 60 pounds in 5 months.
Jacob Fisher
I mean its not like I haven't done it before. I was 168 before. Down from where I am now. But things got the the way/I stopped keeping track and I am back here.
To go with that. Someone said if you lose/gain/lose it will become harder for you to lose if it goes that way -.-

Some people say the earth is flat. Stop listening to these people.
Listen to your supporters, listen to your champions, and if there's none around you, listen to yourself.
There's a wee robot on Mars right now. Men put it there. You are capable of doing anything you want, boss.

depends on your weight, a 600lb man can lose 50lbs in the span of a month just by eating at a large deficit
i've lost 41 lbs since february, but i started as a 323 lbs hambeast, i'm now a slightly smaller 280lbs hambeast
Charles Sanders
It's not impossible, but it's difficult. And by difficult I don't mean "urg just gotta grit my teeth and get through it" kind of "easy-difficult" the way lifting heavy weights is, I mean you're going to have to make a lot of hard choices and do work planning your fitness and nutrition plan out in advance, and more importantly you're going to have to monitor and change it as you progress through the plan, your body will adapt to the deficit and things will slow down the more weight you lose, not to mention you will be lacking more and more energy and becoming more and more exhausted as you continue a months-long cut.
Leo Gutierrez
When should I redo the TDEE? Every 5 lbs lost?
Ian Torres
Plateaus happen for people who only adjusts TDEE when weight loss stops. Recalc every 2kg and adjust intake and you should be fine.
Elijah Lewis
Checking ur TDEE often enough should prevent you from stalling in ur progress
Jace Phillips
I've always been a believer in cutting for no more than a month then eating at your tdee for a week before cutting again. It sets small milestones and let's you recalculate your tdee through the cut.
Camden Turner
yes. try for 25-30 by november. going slower and actually sticking to it is better than aiming high and going on a frustrated binge-eating spree 10 days later.
Mason Morris
>every 2kg literally why that's a 25-35kcal difference on a cut of 500 (most common) to 1000+ kcal deficit.
Jaxon Cooper
It depends on where you're at now.
Running isn't a great way to lose weight, though. I recommend getting a bike. Fun easy way to burn thousands of calories.
Aaron Morris
Yeah once I save up I plan to get a new bike.
My first goal is a rack/bench though. Should have those by the end of July.
Logan Cox
Is there really a certain amount of weight you should not lose?
As of May 11th I have dropped from 236lbs to 223lbs when i weighed my self a couple of days ago. It really hasn't been that hard, I just haven't been grabbing a snack every time i go to the kitchen or having 1/4th of a box of cereal before bed every night. 6'2"1/2 also
Mason Howard
Start with 30 minutes running everday. Eat less than you would normally, drink a lot of water. DO NOT EAT GREENS more than once a week. it will slow your metabolism.
Evan Bell
if you're fat, just go for a long, brisk walk instead of stomping around in a slow-jog. Works just as well for getting the pump going.
Ryan Cox
I had lost 20lbs in 3 months by walking 30 minutes every day paired with shadow boxing or DDP yoga. Ate lots of fiber (ate almonds all day whenever I felt hungry) and lowered my portions. I fell off due to listening to my penis when some cute girl convinced me I didn't need to eat the way I did. I was dumb bitch didn't want the D and was self conscious because I improving myself and getting some attention but that's another story
Parker Cruz
Because you can do it and get as smooth a cut as possible, or you can be an idiot and ignore it for absolutely no good reason other than being a contrerian who's too cool to put in work.
Bentley Mitchell
I lost 70 in 11 months so you're prolly good.
Ryder Rodriguez
even a 10% difference is just that - 10%. instead of losing 1lbs a week you'd be losing 0.9. If you stop losing weight after droppping
Christopher Price
Honestly, steady diverse exercise plus high protein, nearly no carb diet would make it possible. Just be careful that your protein sources are healthy and that you are still eating veg. A good source of dietary vitamin c without fruit is cooked bell pepper.
Good luck, and don't feel bad if you don't meet your expectation. As long as you are healthier in Nov. than you are now, you've made progress.
Hunter Adams
Look, if you want to half ass it, that's fine. But don't pretend that it won't have a cumulative effect if you ignore the details.
It it were some obscure daily ritual that took half an hour out of someone's day I might understand your reluctance to do it. But it's literally 1 minute of work every one to two weeks.
We're talking a plan that stretches all the way to November. Being 36 calories off (+36 for every one to two weeks from now until then) is going to end up being a whole lot of calories, and therefor fat in the other end.
Landon Thomas
just an fyi, I'm OP, he's not. I ain't looking to half ass anything but idk what ya'll are talkin about.
Jonathan Parker
Was 100% directed at the whiny babby I was replying to, not you OP.
Liam Thomas
Yeah, I just know some posts come across as the OPs some times.
Daniel Hall
Shit yeah thats no problem. I've lost 20 lbs in the lst month.
CICO+Cardio
Use myfitnesspal
Use diet cola as a means of staunching hunger
Hunter Gomez
To eat shit in december
Carson Cooper
yeah thats what im doing, minus MFP. I'm writting down everything i eat/using a food scale to measure everything.
Which is mentally taxing as fuck/obsessive, but it worked for me before.
Jonathan Bailey
DNP, im niggamite, DNP to lose the fight, DNP
Joseph Garcia
>Doing cardio
Is cardio a meme?
Jose Sanchez
Dont drink water, its bad nigga
Matthew Watson
I bet you're one of those people who think Mozart was black.
Jacob Adams
>2 lbs a week is the healthiest you can lose..
No, that's the recommended amount for an average person to lose without causing health issues. If you are significantly over or under weight that number changes.
