re: PuttaDaForkDown v3.0

Coming off a 3 day intense binge of wine, pie, cake, and cookies. Might end up with the shakes tomorrow

Over the holidays I crept back up to 268-269. 267 today. Feeling happy with myself, my in-laws cooked a prime rib yesterday. I knew it was coming so I planned for it and executed my macros to fit it in perfectly. Need more of that more consistently.

Lsu777,
Have you gotten your hands on Layne and Peter Baker's new book, Fat Loss Forever? It's amazing. They cite just about everything they claim with relevant, vetted studies. And if they don't have studies they say so and make it clear that it's an educated guess.
There's also a huge chapter about Keto writtem by Dom D'agostino. If you don't have it, do you want to add it to your collection? I'll send it to you

Don't have it yet but would love to have it please. I have his competition diet book if you want it in return.

Happy New Year PDFD!

I will be slowly ramping up the calories heading into the weekend. I have a lot going on and wont be able to cook much until then.

January is World Carnivore Month 2.0.

What’s up team?

Holidays are over. Time to get these routines going again.

Tryin to get back into the macro tracking groove. It's a bit tougher with a child than it was prior to but I'm managing.


I've modified my tracking spreadsheet with a script that automatically grabs my MFP data every morning at 8AM and fills in my carbs, fats, proteins, fiber, and sugar from the day before. The spreadsheet then calculates my calories, % of calories from protein, % of calories from fat, and % of calories from carbs. I enter my weight and bf% measurement from my scale daily and the spreadsheet will average those out and graph it. On another tab I have compliance tracking, which will update as the spreadsheet is filled from the script that picks up my MFP data.

Nerding out on the spreadsheet for sure, but it's pretty fantastic. I haven't actually verified that the auto-pull script works but the manual trigger works 100%.

If anyone is interested in it...

Hulk, you are still an inspiration.

Looking back all that long ago. I didn't realize I started posting in there until May. I've definitely put on "some" lean mass since then. Looking to put on some more this year.

I needed that, thanks

You guys have seen both my struggles and successes.. Hard to believe it's been 7 years since I started losing weight. I'm still down 96 pounds from where I started, and in the end that is a victory all on its own. I've beaten the 95% regain statistic. That said, I still have much to go. I won't give up on the dream. It's too important to me, especially now that I have a kid and I want him to have a good example to grow up with.

For sure. Last time I had my body composition measured professionally (they used the InBody system) I had a higher than average muscle mass. Can't remember the numbers and can't find the paper..

Sadly, when I'm hitting my goals properly I am in a deficit so I never have had huge gains. I'd love to be in a massing phase one day to put some real muscle on.
