Not really about loosing muscle mass.. its just that I have lost the weight so fast its kinda scary that I am almost there and I am getting a bit scared of this.

I dont know why but my mind has started to play mind games in my head!

Fear of achieving your goal? Or maintaining your goal? I think you need to focus on the benfits to your general health & well being.

It's psychological man, alot of massive guys hit the wall a bit once they shed alot of weight and realise they arnt as "big" just remember its pretty much all fat thats been lost and how good it feels to know what you're doing is improving your health and how you look. What you've already done is great man keep up the hard work.

Yes completely right... that feeling of being big seems to have gone by by and when I mean big its more like big aka fat...

Now when i got somewhere i try to remember that I dont have to eat like a pig or just keep eating now I have to take care of my body and the machine it is and feed it good clean food! Just like you would a ferrari .... just such a weird but good feeling.

Thanks mate... I just so glad I have the great support from my team around me!!

Really helps me keep on track and get back on track when I come of! :oops:

just cant wait to put more muscle back on in place of the fat!~

[BigRed2007]

today i trained at west wave just to try it out for the pools and the gym...

The gym is allright pretty nice and easy set up. Going to stick with less mills though cause its just got tons and tons of machines...and weights

But i loved the swimming probably going to try to swim once a week or something to get that cardio up up up and away!!!!!

Did shoulders today

[teamfatboy]

Hey Sean

Yeah, getting close to the goal is a mind-fark...do you tell yourself you're entitled to look good, you're entitled to be healthy and fit - to say nothing of ripped and built!

FWIW, I remember at one point trying on some clothes in a shop and having a really hard time believing that the guy in the mirror was me... chest size was what waist used to be...and I think until folks who lose weight make the mental connection that this is who they are, it can be real easy to backslide...get back into the 'one bag of chips or one beer can't hurt" mindset.

keep it up, your progress is great

[BigRed2007]

Great points mate great points

I am just feeding my head atm...I do find myself snacking a bit ... i have to try to shut my mouth up lol ... going to start focusing again on timing my intake of food again... i.e. 10 am . 1 pm meals to get some kinda regularity going on in my system...

Yes " i am entitled to look good and feel healthy and feel happy"

and no i dont wanna get back to that one piece of bread wont hurt or it will be ok if i eat some chocolate cereal or curry etc etc etc... and i dont wanna spiral again.. .worked to dam hard!!!

( Sorry just doing some mental re programming ) :doh:

Saturday 5 th July

Morning Session - Cardio 1 hour

Afternoon Session - Shoulders

( still waiting for a table function to be inserted)

I really focused on keeping strict form ... dropping the very heavy weights opting instead for technique and just draining the muscle trying to get that really good pump. Its actually pretty good now that I have stopped focusing completely on loosing the weight but now I am just focusing on getting the muscles developing and strengthening.

Feels good!!! Its definitely coming along and I keep learning more and more as I read and listen to more body builders! 8)

[poos_n_wees]

Abs - went crazy with abs.. i have set a challenge for myself to get a six pack

You and me both!!!
