Anyone down? Lol I figured this would be a good way to motivate each other those looking to loose weight for the summer or just in general.
Pretty simple on march 1 and 2 post your starting weight, then post an official weigh in with lbs lost or gained every week. I'm actually planning in cutting until August but this will be a cool way to hold each other accountable and help each other or even share tips.
Y'all down?
For Dudes that need help with "diet", I follow IIFYM, but in general this is a good place to start with figuring out Calorie and Macro needs according to your goal.

use that to get a good Idea of your Calories you need whether you're cutting or bulking (keep in mind this is an estimate so use it as a guide and adjust accordingly), also recommends Macros
As for workouts I have my own custom routine since I've found what worked for me but Starting strength is a great program for dudes who are new to lifting (I used this when I started)

Ate 5000 calories last night so I`m probably holding a ton of water but after 9 months of Bulking I weighted in today at 273 (started bulk at 228-20) so 45lbs in 9 months= 45 lbs gained.
Used my BF thing today also so right now my stats are
6'3
273
20% BF
I`m starting my cut at 3000 calories, here are my Macros (I used iifym.com calculator)
CARBS PROTEIN FAT FIBER CALORIES
GRAMS per day 302.3 251.2 87.4 55 - 68 3000
GRAMS per meal 60.5 50.2 17.5 11 - 14 600
I`m going to do weigh ins every Saturday, I suggest we all add each other on Myfitnesspal also.
You guys can add me on Instagram/MyfitnessPal my username is CashmereEsquire, this is where I will be posting majority of my updates, and pics of what I eat, I will of course post stuff in here but those social media sites will offer more of a "real time" look.
I`m going to update my OG post with these stats also. This thread is for March to June but I`m actually looking at cutting to August.
Edit: Probably going to keep my Macros at 300 carbs, 225 protein, 100 fat.
