In order to achieve your goal you need a plan, this thread is all about the plan, so we will create a plan which must be followed by you.

Late I will add a scorecard so you can come here daily/weekly and update what you did.

Now let's work out on the plan. MODS and everyone who want to participate feel free to add more.

1. Do more cardio and here are options:
a. after workout
b. in the morning on empty stomach
c. by walk
(choose the one which is more suitable for you)

2. Eat less carbs

3. Do more reps with less rest between sets

4. your idea....

Completely agree with the above 2 posts. Also, what really helps me shed the pounds quickly is not just my morning cardio but a good long walk or bike ride at night. When I started doing this I noticed a dramatic increase in weight loss. It may be because I was eating too late and it helped digest and burn off all the excess calories I still had in me.

It also helped as I wasn't doing my morning routine then putting off my goals to the following day. I would have great workouts in the morning then I would justify a burger and Guiness at night. With another 'workout' planned every night it held me more accountable to my diet, sleep patterns, etc.

My success has always been high with weight loss with a few key components:

1. Low to moderate anabolics. You don't need crazy amounts of anything to lose weight. Just plenty of exercise, water and a restrictive diet. Possibly 200-400 mg a week of test and maybe some Tren or something at a low dose to help with muscle sparing properties, but even that isn't necessary.
2. Learn to live hungry. It will be uncomfortable for about a week until the scale starts giving you applause. If you are in the same category as me, big but got fat, you really need to give your stomach time to shrink back to something approaching human.
3. One intense and one low impact cardio session a day.
4. I know all the science points the other way, but I never increased my reps and went with lower weight. I still pushed my workouts up to 3-4 reps as a last set. I couldn't stand getting weak when trying to diet and it was demoralizing for me. Would I have lost the pounds faster? Yes. Would I have stuck with it? Probably not. It was psychologically beneficial for me to still feel strong, which kept me in the gym.
5. ALWAYS have something healthy prepared to eat at all times. ALWAYS. You should plan your meals but also have something readily available that you can have whenever you want it. There will be times when your cravings get out of control. Plan for it because it will happen.
6. I weighed myself everyday. Again, I know it's the general consensus you should use the mirror to judge progress and not the scale. Looking at that cold hard number at the same time every morning let me know in no uncertain terms if I was still moving in the right direction or if I was slacking. You can lie to yourself about your self image, the scale won't.

I know some of you want to help others and its hard to give out your cutting secrets. BUt most people wont follow what you do anyway because its too hard to follow and most people dont have the dedication to follow through on any plan. For if they did, there would be 10 times as many bodybuilders out there competing,,/..

so what is your plan.
if your cutting carbs what are you cutting them from?

How do you asses your macros?

Are there any specific type of carbs you feel are better than others ?
