This one is for those looking to decrease bodyfat and reduce weight. As we all know, calorie deficit is the biggest factor that determines weight loss so this challenge will only address calorie deficit. Here's how it works. You state your caloric intake level that you will shoot for every day for the next 30 days. Each day, you will update your post with your actual caloric intake for that day. Post your initial weight and weight at the end of the challenge. (you can also include bodyfat % if you really want to get technical). Note: for those of u not sure about your target caloric intake, use this calculator: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm Also, you can use fitday.com to log your daily calories to make things easier. ------------------------------- Starting weight: 158 lbs Target Caloric intake: 2200 Day 1: 2171 Day 2: 2500 Day 3: 2256 Day 4: 2278 Day 5: 2235 Day 6: 2276 Day 7: 2143 Day 8: 2025 Day 9: 2104 Day 10: 2230 Day 11: 2294 Day 12: 1800 Day 13: 2193 Day 14: 2132 Day 15: 2210 Day 16: 2150 Day 17: 2089 Day 18: 1878 Day 19: 2550 Day 20: 2134 Day 21: 2110 Day 22: 2294 Day 23: 2010 Day 24: 2145 Day 25: 2060 Day 26: 2545 Day 27: 2078 Day 28: 2542 Day 29: 2132 Day 30: 1773 End Weight: 152 lbs comment: so this concludes the challenge. I've definately lost a good amount of weight despite going over my caloric limit quite a few days. For most days I was also going pretty low carb (50-100g/day) up until the last week where my lifts and energy started tanking. No doubt that much of the weight lost was water especially due to the low carbs but I am confident in saying that at least 1-2 lbs was fat. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing as I (stupidly) didn't take bodyfat%, but all my clothes are much looser.
