Time to get to work, Coach! Let's go
Thanks! I already feel better from Monday. I'm just ready to not be so damn fat 
Monday, I was back up to 258. (I'm 6'3") I had undone all the work from 2 years ago. That was all the motivator I needed.

One of my favorite snacks is a chocolate overnight oats with honey nut cheerios on top for some crunch and honey drizzled all over it
60g oats
scoop of your favorite chocolate protein powder
200 mL fairlife chocolate milk
add the cheerios and honey when you're ready to eat
sometimes I use a peanut butter cup protein powder and add some peanut butter or PBfit

Had surgery this morning on my elbow. Gonna be at least 6 weeks before I can do light lifting but I can still go on walks everyday. Sticking to diet plan hard. I'll likely lose a good bit of fat but also some muscle during this time but I can focus on adding lean muscle back once I'm cleared to go. Glad to get this problem taken care of since it knocked me out of nearly a year of strength training other than pushups.

What was your issue? I’ve been dealing with a lot of tendinitis in the elbow lately.

Work your flexors if you're getting tendinitis. For many the rice bucket works wonders.

Time to get to work chappy, you got this. Slow, steady and consistency wins the race.
I did good on my diet today. Was able to hit calorie and protein targets. Switched out some carbs for some fats as I made burgers for the family tonight and wanted to eat with them.
FTR for anyone wondering....only thing that matters is calories, protein and consistency. Everything else is just a way to stick to that(not aimed at you chappy, just general comment).

I’m assuming tendinitis. It hurts like hell during my first set of curls but then lessens the more I work it.

Partially torn extensor tendon. Thought it was just tennis elbow but it didn't get better after a year of conservative stuff.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for you baw.
I've got elbow pain from pickleball, but only feel it when doing skull crushers or other overhead tricep movements. Doesn't bother me doing BP or OHP so I haven't been too worried about it.

Yeah just monitor it and don't be afraid to back off when it flares up.
The procedure they did was actually to go in and lengthen 3 tendons on the for arm that attach to the elbow. Supposed to be a 8 week recovery to doing light lifting and build from there. Good part is I'm not in a sling and can use my fingers for very light stuff.

There's a good joke in there.

Keto keeps me in check with calories for sure. Not to derail the thread, the benefits of low carb/keto are incredible for me. The anti-inflammatory benefits help me personally for a few health reasons.
I did lose a bunch of weight years ago by just limiting calories and exercising. Lunch was usually a sandwich and a small bag of chips. I even had a couple beers when I could afford it calorie wise.
On a personal note, I've lost a few lbs of water weight already this week and the inflammation in my joints is going down. I can't wait for Easter to be much smaller.

I'm in as usual. I come in and out of this thread.
I was 204 on 1/1. I went to London for a wedding mid-December and got stuck over there in isolation because of Covid so I was stuck sitting in a hotel room with a cold eating ubereats every single meal. Needless to say some of that weight is just sodium intake and bloat.
1/6 I was at 200 this am exactly. My goal is 180-185 for the year and it is a frontloaded. Plan to lose 8-10 in January/February then 1 lbs a month for the remainder. That would put me about 20 lbs for the year.
I don't have any strictly "no" foods but am trying to just get back to 85/15 success (like ground beef). I love to meal prep on Sundays so I am getting back into that and slicing veggies etc. for the week.
I lift in the morning then usually do kodiak cakes with powder peanut butter. In the 550-700 calorie range depending on if I put a banana and egg into the batter.
Lunch this week has been an 80/20 grass fed beef chili. I didn't know they did GF 80/20 usually it is 85/15 but this has a lot of calories per serving (280). Eating it over some carbs either potato or rice and it's around 750 calories all in (has beans, potatoes, beef, tomatoes onion jalapeno green/red peppers with my carb source).
Either a shake or a tuna packet 3pm
Dinner has been a lean protein and green veggie. Pork loin with asparagus and tonight will be Chicken breast with either broccoli or peas.
I'm not really counting calories completely, but I am probably in the 2000k range. I will see how it's going, then either up/down it by 250 in 2-3 weeks.
As I said the first couple weeks may show more progress than is realistic b/c of the water weight
I hate eating before I lift but I know you should. I may force myself to eat an oatmeal or something going forward.

unless you are doing something like long crossfit workouts....wouldnt worry about it too much. dont do something you hate for the sake of gaining less than 1% benifit. just stay consistent.

“ Several coworkers and myself are doing a 12 week recomp challenge. We all did inbody scans and are seeing who can lose the greatest % of body fat % (if that makes sense). I came in at 245lbs @ 20.9%BF.”
Had a big year last year completing several ultra marathons and my first 100miler last November (240lbs). Got a pretty extensive heavy lifting background as well however I have never seen a true recomp through. I’ve done a few 4 week “cuts” but jumped off the train hahaha. I’m quite focused now and fully engaged on this job.
Current macros:
3100 cals
240-260 p
<75c (low days) 200ish (2 high days/week)
Remaining cals is fat.
Lifting 5-6 days/week
7-10hrs of zone 2 cardio/ week

In 2020 I went from 246 to 214, and really shaped up. Thanks lsu777 and others. 5'11 44 years old. I've been gaining about 2 lbs a month since March though. Now I'm 236.
I've decided to not strictly follow a diet cause, well, life ya know. I'm just going to try and make the best choice every single time and control portions and overeating. Looking back now I think I was overtraining in a way. Not overtraining by lifting, but just stressing my body too much to often. I would do a lot of HIIT, crazy calisthenics, running, lifting etc. I did have a body transformation, but I also think I did some things that raised my cortisol levels.
Now I have a Nordic Track bike and will use it religiously, its addictive. No heavy lifting, more of a greasing the groove kind of thing.
My goal is to live longer, I have a 3 year old. Lose weight and feel great are second. Maybe ill kick it up a notch or two once I start making some real progress.

Woah! Good luck brother
Well, as predicted, I am down 4 lbs since Monday. (water weight) Today, I am having my typical day 4/5 reaction to Keto. Energy is back, and my GI issues are disappearing. It's not a fun day, but I am going to feel great tomorrow! I should drop a couple more lbs over the weekend as my GI track keeps purging.
Now, the real work begins.
