This is the end of week two and progress has slowed which is expected but still progressing. This week I’m down 2 lbs for a NW of 282 that’s 14 total since the beginning. My goal is a 750 calorie deficit each day to loose 1.5 lbs a week so at 2 lbs lost I’m still ahead of schedule, and although I haven’t measured I feel like I’m loosing a few inches around the wait my pants feel looser
Hope this inspires you to take your own journey
Good work @uncleharley !
You seem like you've planned your nutritional targets and calorific deficit well. Some people try to loose to much too fast and cause all sorts of problems.
Do you include any cheat days while you're eating at a deficit ?
Being able to indulge every now & then can help some people stay on course for the long term.

Every day is a “cheat day “ I literally eat what ever I want so long as I account for it ..the other day I had straight up cookie dough for dinner lol. But I was a good boy and barely ate anything all day other than low cal raw veggies so at the end of the day I was still under and didn’t even have to hit the treadmill

If all my clients would adopt an attitude like yours my work would be a lot easier. Most people come to me with no idea about nutrition and feel the need for me put them on a tortuous exercise program like they see on shows like the biggest loser.
No-one has to beat themselves up to lose weight and as you've said exercise isn't even mandatory. The diet is where real changes need to happen.
You've got this man, I'm sure you're going to be in top shape in a relatively short time.

Thanks it’s simple math if you burn more calories than you consume you will lose weight I tried for yrs counting calories etc but until you figure out what you are burning it’s futile

Are you getting your caloric deficit with restricted eating or some form of exercise, or both?
Good luck on your journey!

Both Sorta but I don’t really restrict what I eat just quantity and frequency and I try not to excercise because I hate it but I do walk I use a fit bit to track my calories I’ve eaten and calories burned. Here is a screenshot I took yesterday, As you can see after breakfast I was over budget so that told me I need to move more by the end of the day I was under budget
