FitGAF, I used to post here but it's been awhile. Work got ahold of me and I lost time to post and honestly, stopped watching my diet as well. Luckily it was winter and I got stronger, but now I'm really trying to cut - brutally.
This August will be my 30th birthday and I want to have a 6 pack (or as close I can get genetically) by then. Honestly, and this is kind of sad for me, I've never really been skinny enough to get there before. I've gotten close, but I was a fat kid, then got my self in shape 4 years ago, but I've never been truly "cut." Always carried a little too much fat around still.
The last 2 weeks I've been cutting hardcore and have been really diligent. It's really tough for me though, because right now I'm at about 1700 calories a day (6'1 210). I feel like it should be higher, but I'm tracking everything (I mean everything) and I'm losing about 2lbs a week at this rate. I think I'm going to have to keep cutting like this until the end of May or so.
So anyway, I'm posting here to keep myself motivated. I don't really talk about it in person with a lot of people. I'm not one to try to brag/complain about stuff like this with the people in my life and I don't have a lot of friends that are into fitness. Thought it'd be good to jump back in with you guys.
Thanks!
