dieting on 1500 calories per day for 6-8 weeks!

[ratherbebig]

If you're not doing bf%, and just tracking weigh you should have lost a good amount by now...it'll be 3 months for you two weeks from today.

its going pretty good, not losing crazy much but at a good pace to ensure im not losing too much muscle. still a little bit of stubborn waist-fat i want to get rid of and then i'll be done with it...

I've never looked on here.....does this site have a progress/journal section, and if so do people use it?

Since coming back to post I've realized a lot of peeps on here still are old now, and many stuck reliving their glory days (self included)....it's the perfect time of year for us all to get at it.  Although some honesty, and humility would be needed and that's never really been getbig's strong suit

been dieting since 7th january. only had a few beers once or twice since.

takes longer to get where i want to be, but i think thats pretty typical, people underestimate the amount of bodyfat they carry and how long it will take to lose it.

your buddy, mr.safety fat is getting in bb shape since 1991 (yeah 1991) 

ask him 4 some advice  , or search 4 his old scrabbling ..................

That’s pretty damn big

206 @ 6.2% 61/2 weeks out

Ridiculous. Super cool you're doing that man.  I walk around lean but I'm guessing if I took myself to that bf at 6'1 I would be less weight. Hard as hell to be 206 @ 6.2.

Damn you!  Tiny joints, and a fast metabolism to boot.  I'm jealous, but at least my grocery bill is smaller so I've got that going for me.

We never factor in "calories burned through nervous energy and prep anxiety." No matter how many shows you have done this variable is very real. 2960 clean... is a big number. That should be enough.

I know you have to make 198.5   Don't worry, you'll make that number easily.

We are watching.

One thing I don't have are small joints

So what were your results on this nonsense?

[myt1]

Well, being dieted down to where you're at helps create an illusion I'm sure, but based off of that pic of your legs your knees appear to be much tinier than mine.  That's one of the reasons I never competed was my bone structure.  Everyone in the gym always said I should compete, but my first real training partner was an older dude that won the bantamweight Continental USA, and his joints were so tiny it made him look 20lbs bigger than me when he was in a tank or shorts on leg day.....and he was actually 10 lbs lighter than me. 

That experience/reason, and Momo dying right when people had me convinced to do one are why I never decided to "prove" myself on a stage. 

Momo, Labrada, and Priest are my favorites for an obvious reason, and after reading about Porter trying to save him I just thought "no way is a plastic trophy worth it to me to be messing around with diuretics when I have no shot of winning anything beyond a local (maybe regional) show"
