End of first week challenge - 5 kilos weigth loss in 20 days. I started a five week plan August 12, 2019 - Sept 16, 2019, goal to lose 10 pounds in those five weeks, but I think I will lose more, because plan is going extremely well. I already eat very clean and have actually been gradually losing weight over past two years. So, the plan is to simply double my exercise, outdoor MTB cycling 6 consecutive days per week, 3 - 4 hour rides each, burning between 1600 - 2200 cals per day, forcing a calorie deficit. That kind of riding insures my deficit, but my RDI (set at 2000) is average 108 for August 12 - 31. So, I'm getting way more of a deficit than 500 cals per day.
Last random weigh in beginning of August, I found myself 3 points away from a normal BMI of 25, for the first time in probably 20 years. Hence, the push and motivation to take off that last 10 - 13 pounds, which will put me well within the normal BMI < 25. So, I weighed in Aug 12, I will not weigh again until end of Plan, Sept 16. But, I can already tell I am losing good weight. Sunday is day off from riding, and my cals always go way up, even some sugary carbs, but not concerned, because it actually makes the Monday ride go very easy - with that carbo loading. I got 24 hrs to burn that glycogen, so I'm good with a Sunday splurge.
