Is it set to open access for all? Says view only for me. (nm just saw you will take care of it)

Would also be cool to have it week by week (column by column) to see everyone's gradual progress...also see who is not updating and we need to hound :)

Yeah once I have more data (and time) I'll adjust it. It's going to be view only, this thread will be where everyone post and the spreadsheet will just be the quick reference/visual representation of progress. I'll sort it weekly as well to show who is in the lead for most % of weight lost.

Wait, you mean Sunday right? Sunday is 90 days from kickoff so that should be weight in day, right?

First Weigh-in is: June 2nd SUNDAY, each weigh-in after will be Sunday UNTIL the last weigh-in, which is on day 90 and first game of the season.
Last Weigh-in is: August 31st (Georgia State game day)

I'll update the sheet to show all the dates for weigh-ins then I'll just plug them in.

Sheet updated.

Again First Weigh-in is Sunday June 2nd, I'm not putting any weights in before then. And in order to have your weigh-in count you'll have to reply with "June 2 Weight: 123lbs"

It'll make it simpler for me to find weights, thanks! Should be fun.

I think morning before eating is best. I don't know what everyone's time zone or schedules are so that time can float. Might be 6AM for someone and might be 9AM for someone else. As long as everyone's weighing under similar conditions (naked and fasted) then we'll be fairly "even"

Only way to make it truly even would be same scales, and everyone has to attend but that's obviously not possible. I'll just be using an at home scale...it'll be close enough since I'm hoping to drop 30ish pounds

What’s everyone implementing into their day to get them where they want to be?

I’m going to do this Keto thing with some PPL, yoga and some insanity.

Good luck to all

You all can add me to the list. I'm at 170 at the moment. Would like to get down to 160.

For those of you all who are looking to make a big impact with your weight loss, I'd highly recommend looking into the ketogenic diet mixed with intermittent fasting. I'm currently doing a 24 hour fast, but typically I follow a 16 hour fasting period, with an 8 hour eating window from 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM. These are just my results, and YMMV, but I've never had such amazing mental clarity before. People who switch to very low carb diets often talk about increased energy, and it's very real. It doesn't dramatically impact performance, as I'm running roughly 100 miles a month and do strength training 3-4 times a week.

In my experience, it's nailing diet and nutrition that's the hardest part for people who are trying to lose weight. The truth is that you cannot out-train a bad diet. Calculate what your TDEE is, track what you eat, and be sure to count your calories. Apps like MyFitnessPal are great for that. Personally I've found that a weekly deficit of 1000-2000 translates to 1-2 lbs of weight loss. Depending on what your training looks like, incorporating high intensity cardio, you can accelerate weight loss that targets body fat. With depleted muscle glycogen stores from intense cardio, your body switches to burning body fat for energy. I'm a big proponent of keto, because staying in ketosis keeps your muscle glycogen low and you stay burning bodyfat, and ultimately losing weight.

There are lots of great resources on YouTube for those of you all looking to get started. What I've Learned, Thomas DeLauer, Athlean X, Thomas DeLauer, and Gravity Transformations are all great channels with varying focuses on diet, science, and training.

Let me know of any questions, and best of luck to everyone!

Going to do intermittent fasting nothing but water before noon or after 8PM. Drinking only water with the occasional Coke Zero (at least until I've depleted the existing supply) and try to keep calories around 1800-2200 within my 8 hour window to eat.

Not sure I'll track macros or try to go low carb just yet. I might if I feel like I'm stalling. Will try to also get a morning cardio session in something light 10-20 minutes tops.

Good post, is it true that too much protein kicks you out of ketosis?

I hear that fasted cardio is a beast on the weight loss. I want to do Keto but there’s no many people that contradict what another says on macros of Keto diet

I'm quite certain it should be high fat, moderate protein, very low carb. About 70% fat. One mistake I hear most referenced is too much protein, too little fat.
