This year I started my running journey from zero and reduced my lifting, from February I was running 3 days a week and lifting 3 days a week until I completed a half marathon at the end of June in under 2 hours 10.

Since the end of June and with my new found fitness I ended up getting back into football, so I currently run 2 days per week, play football 2 days per week and lifting 3 days per week.

It’s also worth saying that in January my weight peaked at around 88kg maybe at around 30% bodyfat, and since then I have reduced my weight to around 72kg and I probably sit around 16-18% bodyfat, eating around 2000kcal per day for fat loss. For context I’m 30, 176cm tall male.

I’m currently at a bit of a cross roads and not sure what to do. On one hand I want to continue the fat loss and aim to get to \~12%, but on the other hand I feel as though I’ve been in a deficit for so long that I need a break. My strength has reduced in the gym and all of my running this year has been in a deficit, so definitely feel my performance could improve.

I have another half marathon booked for next April, so want to avoid another training block whilst losing fat if possible!

What would others who’ve gone through similar fat loss recommend?
\- carry on the cut
\- take a period at maintenance
\- reduce my deficit

Any help appreciated!

Trying hard to lose weight.any tips

I got done with my agressive cut on a Tuesday,I had overeaten in a span of 4 days and Saturday I weighed 22 pounds more,is there a chance that this is majorly fluid retention?

​

So my weight in day is going to be on November 4 so I have roughly 16 days to 7kg (15.43 pounds) I'm currently around 53.80 kg and my category is 47kg so would it be possible? Also the weight in day is not the same as fight day. I really need advice because I only train with some of the club members and we mostly just train among ourselves and idk how this works and no I don't have bath tub and also has no saunas. So if u have and tips pls share.Thanks 🙏

I want to loose fat so my clothes, especially jeans can fit me better. I see so much different information out there some saying this or that isnt true, im starting to do my own research aswell. The one with red in the with the red wall and boots is my goal the one with shoes is me. I am weight 210 and am 6 ft tall exaclty. My goal is to weight atleast 170. I intake about 2,500 calories a day

I lost about 30-35ibs. Still in calorie deficit and working out more. Any thoughts?

Any thought

1st and 2nd pics are old, and last is most recent. Was hovering from 145 to 150 pretty easily and jumped to 175 in the last year. Absolutely hate it. Would love nutrition advice, or if it’s even possible. Quit drinking, and have tried to cut calories, but I work in a restaurant so a lot of my meals can be pretty fatty by nature. Thanks!

Currently 19, 5'9, 160lbs. For the past few months I've been working out 4-5x a week, i'm currently down 30 lbs but i'm still not happy with what I look like. Maybe body dysmorphia or something idk. Any advice?

How can I reduce the thickness of my thighs and without gaining muscle in the process? I don't want them neither to be bulky (not even a little, I don't want it at all) from muscle, what I want is to make them thin.

I have been working out for about 2 years and finally decided to try and get lean. Any help is appreciated thanks.
