I think it was 9 lbs I shed in less than 48 hours, half of which was likely water weight(look this up..always somethig to keep in mind when weighing yourself). 10 lbs should never even be a goal for someone... if you truly only need to lose 10 lbs and no more, then you don't need to be on a diet anyway. When UFC dudes don't make weight for their class, they often cut 2 lbs within the hour after. But, there's middleweight guys(185 lbs) that walk around at 225-230 in MMA... cutting THAT much before fights actually is unhealthy and is a drawback of participating... cutting 4.5 lbs of water weight, 4.5 lbs of normal weight... not that big of a deal. You see fighters chugging water after walking off the scale because they are so dehydrated.
The day before yesterday I did yard/garden work all day while drinking mixed drinks, beer, and wine... then me and my good buddy grilled chicken breasts while the ******* cooked koos koos and mixed veges(little to no carbs somewhat compensates for an abundance of drinks). Was at his place and he's got a scale in his bathroom. I always weigh myself whenever I walk past one instinctively, that day my weight fluctuated from 200.4-197.8(water weight). Since winter I've went from... 195->211->194->224->203->209->199.... which is about where I'm at now. And to be honest, I really didn't even put too much effort into doing so..which I guess is obvious when you look at my weight gained.. I just try to walk or ride a bike everywhere daily(i biked over a mile to his house), and be conscious about the stuff I mentioned. Your metabolism REALLY starts ****ting out on you at about age 24, usually from a typical youthful life of never even worrying about your metabolism...nor having to, for that matter.
anyway I don't do any actual exercise routines.. I do lift though, bros. the more muscle mass you have, the more you metabolize, and the more you work them the rate of metabolizing increases. having people that are doing the same thing to motivate you helps a lot...
