220lbs @ 10% BF by May 2023

@mnben87

12/8/2020 243lbs 1/16/2021 225

Down 18 lbs in 39 days. Been at 225lbs for the last 10 days. I expect another drop any day now.

I estimate my TDEE to be around 3k. Averaging 1800 calories per week.

Dropping calories to 1600 per day for February.

I would stay at 1800 and see what happens in then next few weeks. I always find I lose weight, then stagnate, then all of a sudden another big drop.

I have been stalking your calories kind of in awe. I am eating ~2k and my TDEE is probably closer to 2500 and I am just starving all day. My body loves to be fat LOL.

Maybe you have too much time to be hungry? :smiley: I find that when hiking in the mountains hunger cues subside. They are far more prevalent bored at home in the apartment.

Damn, what you’re doing is impressive. Gear helps, but it doesn’t do the work for you, that’s all you!

I’m curious, I didn’t go through and dissect your 5/3/1 numbers, so are you adding weight to the bar every cycle, or just working on maintenance while you’re cutting?

I add 5lbs every cycle.

When it starts feeling too heavy, or I miss lifts, I lower the training max and work my way back up.
