Crushing the weekend?
The weekend can either move your progress forward or quietly undo a week of discipline. When you stay consistent with your diet and training on Saturday and Sunday, you set the tone for the entire upcoming week. Momentum, recovery, and mindset all carry over. Think of the weekend not as a break from your goals, but as the launchpad for next week’s progress. Here are some simple tips to make your weekends work for you, not against you: Weekend Success Tips - Plan your workouts ahead of time. Decide on your Saturday and Sunday training sessions by Friday so there’s no guesswork. - Prioritize protein at every meal. Hitting your protein targets keeps recovery high and prevents weekend overeating. - Hydrate more than you think you need. Weekends often include more activity, errands, or social events, keep water intake high. - Limit “all-or-nothing” cheat days. One relaxed meal is fine. Turning the entire weekend into a free-for-all will slow progress. - Get quality sleep. Late nights destroy recovery. Aim to keep your sleep schedule close to your weekday routine. - Meal prep for the week on Sunday. Preparing even a few meals sets up an easy, disciplined Monday. - When you win the weekend, Monday doesn’t feel like starting over, it feels like continuing momentum. Small consistent actions on Saturday and Sunday compound into better workouts, stronger recovery, and visible progress throughout the week. Discipline on the weekend is often what separates maintenance from real results. Let's go!

Who is crushing the week so far? Are you Locked in yet?
Fat loss has a quiet turning point most people never talk about. The first 4–5 weeks can feel like you're grinding in the dark. You’re showing up to workouts, eating with discipline, saying no to things you used to say yes to… and the mirror barely moves. But then something shifts. You start to notice it. A sharper jawline. A tighter waist. A little more definition in the shoulders. It’s subtle, but it’s real. Proof that the work is happening. And that’s when things get interesting. Because once you see progress, your brain flips a switch. Suddenly you don’t feel the urge to overeat. Skipping workouts doesn’t even cross your mind, you start craving the small daily wins. You’re no longer forcing discipline. You’re in flow state. Locked in and focused The same momentum that felt impossible in week 1 starts carrying you forward in to weeks 6, 7, 8. So if you’re in that early phase right now, keep going. You might be only a few weeks away from the moment where everything clicks. And once you’re there… You’re locked in. Let me know if your feeling any signs of this yet? or still struggling staying consistent with diet, workouts or steps.

@Tim Smith Great Win man, thanks for sharing this with us. You are definitely getting in 10k steps minimum if you are working on your feet all day. Calorie cycling is also ok if its working for you, weekly calorie average matters most anyways. Great Work
Steps?
All getting in your 12k steps per day?

@John Rodriguez Jr Nice Make sure your also getting stronger on your key lifts, eating enough protein as well. I want to see you shred body fat and build muscle. Take body measurements, weekly photos to see the real results.
Day 1 recap
Hope you all had a great day 1 yesterday. Here is a recap of mine. I started off with 6k steps fasted on my treadmill while working on client check ins. Chugged some water and had 2 espresso's during this time. Around noon I ate my first meal my pre workout meal. I was simple, all carbs to give me fuel for my first workout of the week. 2 slices of sourdough with some honey and a banana. Around 400 calories. Completed my workout then back to work until 6pm. For dinner I ate some ground beef with some broccoli and white rice, very simple but really good. I added some soya sauce on top for extra flavor. Finished my daily steps around 9pm then ate my last meal around midnight. A greek yogurt bowl with blueberries, chocolate chips and a scoop of iso protein powder. Also added 2 chocolate squares on the side. Total for the day way only 1900 calories 214c 56f 142g of protein. How did yours go?

yeah, even 2100 calories can be a great start for you at 178. Also depending on the time you train you might need more than 600 calories beforehand. Remember this first week is not about being perfect, its about making small changes towards your goals. Make slight tweaks along the way. Great work on getting in your workout and steps, these small consistent habits will get you to your goal in no time. Their more important than being perfect. Your maintenance is around 2500 calories at 178 lbs, so even at 2300 calories your loosing fat, the goal is 2000 - 2100 but if you end up at 2300, don't beat yourself up. Its still a win.
