Down to 104.5 kg now. On track with eating and training. Using the Fit Pal app on my new phone I've become an avid gram and calorie counter![/quote]<br />
<br />
Nice - one thing that is good about packaged food is you can track everything very easily. Keeping that consumption total under 8000kJ is a lot easier that way. -

Or under 7000kj in my case! I've gone for the 40/30/40 carbs/fat/pro split. Seems to be working, hopefully I'm not losing too much lean tissue. -

Hardcore!<br />
<br />
Saw a fat burning diet from a paleo trainer that said you could do under 5500 a day. Going to give it a try when I'm trying to shift the last pockets of body fat.<br />

I'm starting to weigh ingredients now before cooking! What has become of me??? -
102.5kg this morning. Holy shit! That's the lightest I've been since about 1996. This cardio is paying off. A bit wary I maybe burning lean mass as well but the 40/30/30 fit pal plan is working a treat. I'm going to make sure I still lift decent tin twice a week and include a Kettlebell day between my mountain hike and the treadmill.<br />
<br />
My goal of weighing under 100 by Xmas now feels extremely realistic.<br />
<br />
<br /> -
We're having the wife's lot over for Xmas day and my plan is simple - get involved with the preparation. Nothing makes you feel like eating less than when you're up to your elbows in it.<br />
<br />
The other part of the plan is to keep her mother the hell away from food prep. Silly old moo thinks she's still catering for 50!<br />
<br />
But the odd wine and chocolate may pass my lips. -

Dude it's pretty blustery here today, may I suggest a heavy backpack on your next visit to the nations capital lest you find yourself blowing away ? -
[quote name='BartMan' timestamp='1355101579' post='331820']do you ever do any higer rep stuff RB? Drop sets etc? Your body might enjoy a change?[/quote]<br />
<br />
Agree. RB I know you like deads and hang cleans. Try doing a 50 or 100 reps at one weight (start at something light and build up) for time. <br />
<br />
You will sweat the house down and your body will be on fire. <br />
<br />
Record the time and then a week later try beating the time. <br />
<br />
Over time you can then increase the weight a little and increase speed. <br />
<br />
I'd encourage you to try these bad boys out.
