These measurements are a few days old and are applicable from the 29th May. This was 2 weeks into my second 4-week bootcamp. For my next goal I wanted to aim for 102.5kg by 13th or June.

Measurements:

Weight: 105.5kg
Hips: 117cm
Tummy: 117cm
Waist: 107cm

I have really been struggling to exercise properly, sometimes only getting 1-2 HIIT sessions in a week. A big part of this has been that my sleep pattern has been quite disrupted, so I am focusing on normalizing my sleep pattern. My disrupted sleep pattern has also led to poor food choices, which I think will be reflected at the end of this week's weigh-in.


I have found that these days I am inclined to eat far below the 2350cal that I had set, which I think is due to a few things: 1) My metabolism has somewhat adjusted down because of the weight loss but 2) I suspect have gone into a minor metabolic shutdown caused by limited training, lack of heavy resistance training and thus muscle mass loss.

I always knew that any kind of cutting process was going to result in minor muscle loss, but in order to mitigate this I really need to start training again. It's strange to think that once I had "fixed" my calorie issues that my training, or lack thereof, would be the thing slowing me down.

My mail goal over the next 2 weeks is to keep the food tight while training 3-4 times per week while including some kind of muscle overload using bodyweight - pull ups, single leg pistol squats etc.

105.5 kg Lost so far: 3.8 kg.    Still to go: 5.5 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
