Any idea what your maintenance calories might be? For beginners, I think it's always best to use a calculator to see what their starting point should be, as most tend to either overestimate or underestimate what they need to reach their body goal.
No idea really. I just checked and it says for extreme weight loss, 2lbs a week, it should be 2702 calories a day. Because of my current weight, 331, and my work out days, 4 a week.

Count your caloríes for a week or two, then use the average and eat 500 less for weight loss 300 more for gains. It's better to do this and just adjust your own food because calculators are not accurate, use your own data.

So i am preparing for 40km marathon upcoming december.
My coach has put me on rigorous dieting regime . It sucks i cant eat certain products i would love to have at weekends.
Most of my time i spend on strengthening my leg and back.

What all does your coach do? Is it a coach thru school, or you just hired a personal trainer? Is he focused on just running, and diet. or running and lifting + diet?
It's nice to have a coach. It really can make a big difference. And it's motivating to work hard so you don't half ass your program if you're actually paying a guy for his time to help you out.
Having a coach giving me lessons weekly has really improved my golf game. Would be wasting my time trying to figure it out on my own.
So far so good for the month. Have not had any fast food or any junk food. I am going to gorge myself on Halloween.

Gonna join the league in the new town soon. Traveling so much has really demotivated me from training.

Yep he is specialized for long distance running . There are membership program for marathon running clubs through my workplace . He trains both pro and amateur runners .

About 1 week in, morning weight went from 203 to 197. The 1st week always looks like this. From here on expecting about 2 pounds per week. Hoping for 195 next week.
Also, bench felt really good today. Did 295 for 5x7 paused.
And a little physique update. Definetly got some work to do to get back where I was. That gut gotta go.

Nice man. Your traps and shoulders look huge. And good job on the bench.
Went and did some pretty light chest and tris today with one of my friends. Just took it pretty easy easing back into it. Did some incline dumbbell press, machine press, and a couple tri exercises. Felt weak.
Going to try and get a good leg workout in tomorrow, and get back on a consistent lifting routine again.

That chest
That chest seperationWish I could get back my physique back to this like it was back in May. My chest is shrinking by the day. lol
definitely had a pump in that picture. But it takes a lot to maintain that. And I go thru phases where my fitness goals change every few months.

Week 2 weighing in at 194. Goal for next week is 192. Started hitting legs again, but taking it easy for now. Also started taking creatine a few days ago, that usually makes me gain weight so we'll see what happens with that. Bench felt weak this week.
I'm not sure if it's me starting to feel the weight loss or just something else, but my last few workouts have sucked lol
