106.7kg, basically 10kg down in a month (Xmas spike made this seem much higher than it needed to) but overall pretty solid month of sticking to my diet, hitting the gym 4-6x per week, and doing 3-5 large walks per week. Quite happy with building this as I know when I first joined the forums I was struggling with consistency and sticking to a plan. Andy even made a podcast ep for me on this topic haha.

Crazy last 2 days though the cliff notes:
New gym has like a small boxing area so started punching the bag
After day 1 of punching had someone when I was walking who was trying to say he would rap for me and I give him money keep saying stuff to provoke a reaction until he was like I'll fight you, but I just kept ignoring him til he was like you are too big for me and he walked off
Only reason why I ran into him was because I had a date who set the time to meet then she rocked up 45mins late and I was just walking around the block killing time, she rocks up, massive catfish from online, chat sucked so I got a friend to call me to say they needed my help and I bailed, first time I have ever bailed on a date in like 5mins but I was just over that night and went home and chilled.
Next day I bring my gloves and go even harder with the bag being annoyed at the day before and also a female friend who I chat to for ages just really annoyed me that day to the point where I ended up taking a step back and as much as she would always be at me like I need to heal and fix my patterns I then just saw clearly the narrative of her blame and making things out of thin air, it was always a trauma bond and I thought it was helpful as she did point a few things out in me and I pointed things out in her but yeah I think it is past its expiry.
Walking home after a real full-on power punch sesh with the bag, walk past a homeless dude carrying a metal pole on an empty street, sweating and still pumped with aggression, he yells F**K YOU C**T in my ear, I get a little startled and adrenaline hits the max and I am externally trying to stay calm but internal preparing to do what I did to that poor boxing bag to this guys face whilst also flashing back to my self-defence training I did like 8 years ago about ways to deflect, and dodge the mental pole he had, thankfully he just kept walking and didn't do anything.

From all this I was super rattled when I got home, all over the place, my old patterns would have been Porn, binge, and check out for the day but that is not a pattern available to me anymore, so I ended up going laying down, putting on an emotional release meditation from one of my mentors.
Was crazy I started shaking and convulsing on the floor, have not experienced this sort of release in so long, I guess it was awesome in a sense that this craziness happened but I chose to deal with it all in a healthier way using the tools I have learnt from my amazing mentors over the years. I am not perfect by any means, but I am so glad in that moment I was like this was an emotionally intense few events and many are my triggers from my past as well and I managed to deal with it with a new pattern and way that serves me rather than old patterns which didn't serve me.

106.5kg pushed a little harder with the weight loss this week, sort of felt easy at the same time just been enjoying gym and my hunger levels have like dropped even further than before somehow.

Went on a date last night, pretty chill, she spoke a lot so I thought I would just try out what I heard Andy say on one of the podcasts, just saying hey I want to kiss you right now, then I paused then asked if she wanted to kiss me, she said yes so I just started making out with her. Brought her back to mine but yeah just played with her boobs not a lot else. I did notice where part of me was being a little deceitful and just some stuff for me to work on in dates in terms of I said I am only looking for something casual then we were talking about random stuff and it seemed like she wanted something longer term and I sort of played into that narrative and she did pick it up later on going didn't you say you wanted something not serious and I am like yeah at first then see where it goes but I have been getting along with you.

I checked in with myself after the date and just reflected on the fact I straight lied out of fear of her going I'm looking for something serious which is just so dumb from me because she already agreed to something not super serious when I set up the date and that could have been what she is looking for sure but with me could have been like he is handsome I am horny let me get this out of my system before I go find a nice guy for a relationship, so I think I sort of chucked myself in that relationship bucket.

So good learning experience for me to be more confident in myself, have my words and actions align, because I was feeling a little off or a little funny afterwards and I was like ahhh because I pretty much was being decietful and putting her needs ahead of mine.

Still 106.5kg after 6 days, slightly frustrating having the same weight for like 6 days in a row, but I guess it makes sense as I had a quick drop the past 5 weeks consistently, the good part is my BF% is going down on the scales so might just be my body re adjusting then I will drop more soon which has happened on my weight loss journies in the past.

Sometimes I get caught up in the I hope today goes quick to wake up the next day lighter as I want the time to go quickly with the fat loss but then again at the same time it's like wait I'm 31 now I am getting older and need to do more stuff rather than going to the gym for 2hrs, walk for 1-2hrs, watch porn for a few hours, listen to some podcasts and sleep.

I have slowly been getting more stuff done for work, but I just don't seem to have as much capacity for it, I think part of it is just the amount of porn I am watching and adding in some study of Spiral Dynamics and my new meditation practice. So I guess I just need to give myself grace and focus on just getting a little more done, I have been super slack with my short-form video content and reels so I am setting myself the goal of just cutting up one of them and sending it to the editor so I can get it uploaded this week.

106.3kg weight finally on the move again, slow but it's on the move, I did train legs yesterday, pulled 2 sets of 150kg deadlift, which usually slows weight loss down from water retention post work out, so my scales are now showing even lower BF%.

I should take a rest break but I was going to train with this guy I connected with who is on his self-improvement journey and has some nice shots on IG I want to collaborate with him for some new photos for my apps if I decide to keep them.

I really do need to start doing some in-person stuff, but I keep procrastinating with porn and then going I got to get some work stuff done but I am still procrastinating it a lot. Need to sit on what the resistance and aversion is, could be just capacity, or loss of momentum. The good part of just loss of momentum is I can just slowly do a tiny bit more each day, which I sort of have been doing, but just not going fast enough for the amount of work I have piling up.

105.8kg finally seeing it move again, did a lighter session yesterday at the gym and went on a slightly longer walk because I was on the phone with my mate.

Got a date planned tonight which is good just from hinge, I have noticed a drop off in matches and stuff, more so on bumble, hinge seems not too bad but I am like using the same photos as last time I was on the apps and I am seeing much less matches and stuff unless I run a boost then I get a bunch so not sure if it is just a shift in demographics or I caught the short end of the stick this time. Either way, I do feel the need to do more in-person stuff, I am going to a bar for the first time on the weekend for a friend's birthday, the first time in over a year that I am at a bar that isn't just for 1 drink for a date, so I will see how I go, it's with a mixed group of men and women, most of them I don't know, but I think I will just try to do some approaches anyway with out worrying too much what they think of me. I can also practice relaxation.

I am still using the weight as a bit of an excuse not to go talk to strangers and the fact it is hot, by the time I walk to the city I am sweaty and stuff, but like I purposely went to the city to go to gym yesterday and passed so many attractive women I could have spoken too but I used the I am wearing a backpack, I look like a bum in work out cloths and I am too fat to sit in the inaction of doing nothing. My perfectionism is coming out to hold me back from action until everything is perfect.

Still struggling a little with being as productive as I want with work stuff, but got a little tiny bit more done this morning, so I think it is just about building up the momentum and start replacing porn time with work time, built some bad habits over the break but that is ok, I have a date tonight so it is like yeah no porn so I can be ready if it ends back at mine.

Weird thing I noticed is my meditation practice I managed to do a longer session with the knowledge of my date and going out on the weekend, so idk if I just allow it to be what it is in my mind of doing more to get x result even though ultimately I know it is all about just letting go of it all.

105.2kg everything seems to be moving well, pulled up a little sore today from a massive session with my mate at gym yesterday pushed some new PR's maxed out the leg extension machine, and managed 14 reps on my top set, just felt super dialed in at gym.

Might do some rehab stuff, some boxing and arms today.

Going out for the first time in almost 2 years to a bar tonight for a friend's birthday, might try and do 1 approach haha see how we go, at least I have a good group of people to socialize with as it is my gym buddies birthday and half the people there are all mutual gym friends including some fit and attractive women, many I have not met but a lot of them are also the partners of some of the guys, but will either just branch off and talk to strangers or see how the connection and vibe is with the group to recruit a wingman or wingwoman, could be useful to marge in some groups of women into that friend group. Might just be overthinking it but I am excited to go out to a bar with normal people and women rather than pick up dudes, but also giving myself ease and grace to see just 1 approach as a win because I have not been out for so long.

I also set up a date 2.5hrs before his birthday to get social but it will be funny if I end up taking her back to mine, then get re-ready to go out again, seems like tonight will be good fun.

104.2kg weight loss is going strong and consistent again. Happens at times, hit a few days of no movement then boom keep dropping.

My average weight loss is close to 1.5kg/week over the past 30 days which is a good rate whilst I am over 100kg and like 37%BF. I am mentally preparing myself for the fact the weight loss will slow as I get lighter simply from burning less calories because I am carrying less weight but I don't see an issue with that as my diet is pretty auto-pilot and easy right now with no effort I am just going to ride this out for as long as I can.

I am travelling again soon and will have a bunch of events on and staying with family which will be a challenge but I have some deep inner confidence of that no matter what happens I will be ok, I do want to try and stick to this rapid weight loss and how good I feel on carnivore but I also get having a wedding, staying at my families place + a bunch of catch ups, business events/dinners can be hard so at worse if we gain a little on the travels I know coming back home I just go back to my default plan which is super easy in a more controlled environment.

I also finally put two videos together, and posted one the other is with the editor for the final touches, so I am finally getting more and more work done, still not as productive as I want to be, but I am slowly building it up. Tiktok did well on my last video hit over 2,000 views which is great for my content considering I talk business and tax stuff, not as entertaining as all the other dopamine-hitting stuff.

The other thing I am still making excuses for and putting off it talking to women in real life, I am now 3-4kg lighter than the last time I did some in-person approaches so I need to stop using that as an excuse. I do force myself for my long walks to walk in the city it's just I am dressed in work out cloths and sweating from it being consistently 30-34degrees C and high humidity this time of year, and I sweat a lot from my head, less so from my body so at least I don't get smelly but it's very visible on my head

102.8kg lets go.

I went to a business summit yesterday and decided to do a full day fast, woke up feeling pretty good this morning, falling asleep was a touch hard with some hunger but woke up not hungry just had my coffee and I think I might just extend my fast depending on how I feel tonight. I had gone to gym 20+ days in a row so good to just take a few days off and fast from food and just focus on getting some steps in.

Good way to drop some weight quickly as well before heading to Melbourne on Monday and also helps with like just sitting in and being ok with the discomfort of hunger which I want to be more comfortable with as I know that feeling will be spiking from a behavioural place when I go back to my parents house with all the emotional and environmental triggers.

I realized I have not posted here in a week, on the dating side just had a bit of bad luck with a few different dates and situations going no where but its part of it all.

I went out at night for the first time, did one approach at night and then pussied out haha but I will take it as a win and when I am back from Melbourne I will try heading out one night per week and approach a few women I have my routine down now to not impact my sleep too badly and worked out a way to sleep in and not feel like crap the next few days so I will keep that routine.

102.3kg broke my fast at hr 50 yesterday.

Back to just carnivore with grace, going to Melbourne on Monday I might hit 101kg before then who knows no big deal, giving myself grace and ease around the trip with a strong knowing when I get back we are back on routine, but there is a lot of motivation to stick to carnivore and minimal eating when I am in Melbourne to finally get under 100kg which I have not done since I moved cities so basically November/December 2021 I was under 100kg.

Back in the gym, had a good session today and got two videos out last week and this week, slowly getting more and more work done

Stuck to Carnivore (apart from a few seasonings and stuff when I was eating out) for my Melbourne trip and where I couldn't eat Carnivore I just fasted, I did drink a fair amount but the good news is... Drum roll.....

I AM DOWN TO 100.3kg I lost weight on my trip without watching what I was eating I was just smashing meat.

Super happy about this I also did 1 day game approach in Melbourne walking to my office just coz and also one at night on my mates bucks which felt good, I really need to do more in my new city where I live now.

I am now officially the lightest I have ever been in Brisbane since moving up here and so close to smashing through and out of the 100's

I didn't gym a lot in Melbourne was super busy, so I will be back to regular training now in Brisbane so I am allowing for the fact there might be some minor water/inflammation/swelling post gym sessions going back to hard training which could keep me at 100kg for a little longer than I want to as I train hard, but I am so happy to be so close to just telling 3 digits to piss off from the scales and come back to the 2 digit club and beyond.

Other crazy things I have been doing more meditation + visualizations lately and I kid you not, I have had Instagram for ages and ages and I get a woman who is fairly attractive (not super hot but cute) randomly follows me and sends me a DM asking me out for a drink I was in shock I saw it happen to a random friend of mine and I was like that would be cool if it happened to me and I started adding it to my visualizations and I got a cold DM like 3-4 days after.
Lot's of motivation to keep meditating, visualizing and then affirmations every morning. Also helps with motivation to stop so heavily relying on dating apps and women I am not super into and start meeting women who I want to sleep with.

100.3kg same weight again lol hit deadlifts, got 160kg wasn't the greatest lift but got it done the platform sunk a little so was a mild deficit to what I am used to so felt it harder coming off the ground.

So story time, for #77 I met this girl on this app "looking for marriage" conservative woman, 36 years old and like 5" taller than myself, she has only ever been with guys in a relationship and was like I won't sleep with you blah blah unless we are in a monogamous relationship and stuff, wouldn't even kiss me when I saw her, so I was just whispering dirty stuff in her ear and pulling her hair, then when she left she sort of went to kiss me as she got in the car and I said nah you don't want to kiss.

Bit of text back and forth, I was just staying completely honest that I wanted something casual and stuff and she gave me all this bs I gave some alternative views and was like I am easy just use me for your sexual frustrations until you find your husband, I thought I would never see her again because I was just being super honest to her questions even when she called me disgusting haha. Fast forward to last night she texts me saying she is finishing work the next day (today) and wanted to swing past because she had just been stuck thinking of me but we can't do anything but she said brush your teeth if you are lucky you might get a kiss. Funny part about that my fingers were inside her before we even kissed. Anyway she came over and it was on, end up in my room and we had a good time. The biggest ego boost for me was she said my cock was really thick which I have always been insecure about, but I was feeling hard as a rock from this carnivore diet working wonders. So that is #77, first time she has slept with someone outside a relationship. She told me to let her know next time I sleep with someone because then she will stop seeing me.... Might be soon I have a date booked for tomorrow and the day after.

The only odd part is the last 3 women have been like older than myself and taller lol usually the opposite of what I go for but I will take it and start dialing it into younger and shorter girls haha

100.0kg two days in a row, it's like it is teasing me to get under 100kg.

Heading out this Saturday night should be good, trying to get this girl I met 2 weeks ago to come to my apartment for pre drinks with my new wings I met who are cool and actually talk to people. Starting to really enjoy the idea of going out at night and meeting people again.

My other little challenge is to let go of all my bs excuses if I am in gym cloths and have my backpack on to just go and approach some women when I am going to and from the gym if not I am trying to at least do 1 day time approach this week. Time to start building up some momentum

100.6kg I sort of expected a little bump in weight, to be honest, had a later dinner, and didn't take my morning poop but also pulled a new PR for this training cycle in deadlifts yesterday I usually do singles on my working weights last time was 160kg for 1 but yesterday I pulled 155kg for 2 reps which I am really happy with then did 3 sets of 125kg x 5 reps. After that went into a heavy leg workout following my mate's program we were at the gym for over 2hrs also managed to do 20 reps with slow and controlled descent and a deep bottom position with 140kg added to the machine (I have done 10 plates a side but not with this tempo and depth) so I am focusing more on longevity now and trying to get the most hypertrophy with the least weight on my joints after having numerous injuries in the past.

Was meant to have a date with a girl who randomly slid into my DM's but she postponed to the week after as she got called into an extra shift with work so we just moved it forward a week which I am happy about after the massive leg day I got home ate dinner, chilled and fell asleep at like 9pm. It also means I can sleep with the conservative girl another time because she said for me to let her know when I sleep with someone else because then she will stop seeing me and I don't want to go down the spiral of lies, she will swing past mine on Wednesday's for now because she has to drive through my suburb on the way home from work which will happen until I sleep with someone else, but then again she said she wouldn't sleep with me or kiss me outside a committed relationship and she changed her mind on that so who knows all I know is I made her super horny and she changed her mind.

99.3kg whooo hoo under 100kg, I am expecting to be higher tomorrow I got up at 2pm and was dehydrated lol

Right shoulder is a little sore so I didn't gym today. I looked up some exercises to do pre-bench because my shoulder pain has been consistent from barbell bench, I have injured myself there in the past so been slowly working back up in weight did 4 sets of 75kg x 10 reps and focusing more on reps to keep the load on the shoulder joint lower.

Went out last night, didn't drink just had Phenibut which was good, still a little reluctant to approach much, the place did have a lot of group sets and stuff, but my friends spoke to some people so I did end up having a couple of interactions with girls but need to really focus on approaching more. I did working on being a little more flirty and teasing which is good.

Nice man, keep going.

For the shoulder mobility, I recommend checking out the two free webinars from Mind Pump Fitness. They have good priming techniques before doing lifts.
Webinar 1 & Webinar 2.
