Down 10 pounds in 4 weeks. Had been pretty into lifting, slacked badly for the past year, still ate that bulking diet. Trying to get a lean enough bf% for that beach body, then after summer start a slow bulk. Goal at the beginning was to lose 15 pounds and then reevaluate. Going more by mirror than anything.
I have myfitnesspal set to 1900 calories per day, most days I go 200-300 short of that. Lifting 4-5 days a week, cardio 6-7 days a week, switching between a high intensity 15 minute session or a moderate intensity 25 minutes. Only stuff I completely cut out diet wise is deserts, and snacks that are completely useless for you. Besides that its pretty flexible, just focused on planning ahead for me. Most days its small, low calorie meals all day. If I'm really craving take out or something with some extra calories for a meal, make sure I eat a little less the other meals. If I'm going to have a few beers, just make sure I'm absolutely perfect with food that day, and maybe do some extra cardio. Just been about having some balance and not making any terrible choices that can wipe away days of gains
