First weight loss milestone

Guest
I weighed in this morning at 164.5 lbs which takes me under the 165 lb
weight class limit.
I personally feel I can maintain 155 to 160 lbs and then carb up for a
contest if required. (if I ever manage to compete again)
Started out at 173.

Incidentally. I tried my first squat workout last week.
It hurt and I was sore for 3 days after.
I got up to half a plate per side.
This sucks.

I was strong enough to do more but the knee was hurting and I thought
I was going to pull a ham or a groin.

Good job, Bob! I'm thinking about training to be the best powerlifter
on golf's senior tour when I turn 50. Damn there's some money to be
made there.

Nicely done Bob. I'm stuck at 191 and 188 seems impossible. I'm going to
review what I'm doing/eating again. I think just too many "re-feed
weekends"!

I considered the refeeds but what I have noticed is that I will gain a
little and then have one or two lower calorie days and the weight just
plummets for 2 or 3 days.
It is definitely a wave not a freefall.
As long as I'm not hungry I don't mind what the calories are as long
as they stay below 2000. Generally I am in the 1600 range but the last
couple of days were around 1400. I know that's low but it's what
works.
I could also be underestimating some meals as I don't measure.

Thanks.
I agree. We sure picked the wrong sport for money.
