I don't know what your lifestyle is, but considering you're doing BJJ, you're not a couch potato. 40lbs is going to be extremely difficult for you. It is possible but you'll be losing a lot of muscle. I don't know how much power is involve in BJJ (I'm assuming "enough" since muscles are always tensed), but you will lose a lot of it. The optimal # for losing weight is 1lb/week and you're about to cut 40lbs...think about it.Originally Posted by cs02132
anybody here done couch to 5kstarting on monday
u guys think its possible to drop 40 lbs by june 30? Sounds unlikely to me but im trying to make weight for a BJJ competition . 5'9 260 need to be 225 or under. my maintenance is around 3100-3300 im guessing but ill be eating around 2300-2700, bjj 3-4x a week and couch to 5k involves running intervals 3x a week. Lets see if i can do it!

But when do you hit shoulders? I'm looking to build some muscle while lowering body fat. I'm thinking of swimming 3 days a week, while doing hiit the other 2 workout days. Eating healthy isn't an issue with me, it's knowing what split/s to do and how many calories to consume. Do you foresee me seeing drastic results within 4-6 months following your program? Suggestions are welcome. Thanks
Honestly, other than lunch my meals are quite sporadic. I don't really have time to do the 6 meals a day (which I think is stupid except for body builders), and I usually skip on breakfast. Occasionally, I'll have a cup of yogurt in the morning. For lunch I usually eat a small meal, like lean cuisine, and some fruit. Around 5:30 or so I'll go to Subway, or get a shrimp Po-Boy from Popeyes (protein, but all fried lol). If I don't have much time, I'll eat some oatmeal and an apple. After the gym, I'll usually eat tilapia, pasta and salad if I cook. When I don't care, I'll get a burger or something. Either way, my after-workout meal is usually my largest. As you can see, it's nothing too disciplined as far as calories and whatnot, I just make sure that my body gets the essentials to keep me going. As long as I get enough protein and vitamins, I'm happy. I just try to avoid high sodium and cholesterol foods.Originally Posted by Based Mod

i aint eem gon lie, i'm jelly. i used to lift 5 days/week but wasn't seeing a whole lot of progress in terms of physical appearance (strength definitely gone up), but i've read that i might be overdoing it and went to a 3 day/week split. now i'm conflicted
what's your average day look like in terms of food?
I like the Kashi oatmeals.Originally Posted by Caerus

You should've thought about cutting down from January, not April. Having said all of that, you have to do a huge caloric deficit vs activity from NOW to cut 40lbs. You have to plan out everything: food, activity, sleep, etc.
I have done couch to 5k and have improved my 5k time. I did 7 weeks and made huge strides with my endurance.
