Im on week 4 now, my husband has stuck to his diet and routine 100%, I have lost 3.7kgs and he has lost 7.8kgs.

 

[Shrek]

If he's losing nearly 2kg per week after 4 weeks he is definitely losing muscle mass unless he was a really heavy?

He's all stomach and back fat.

 

[Shrek]

Wow, nearly 5kg in the first week? Did he eat anything?

 

[Shrek]

How tall is he?

Water.

 

[Shrek]

Yeah but 5kg. can't be all water?

We did come straight off a cruise ship...

How tall is he?

6ft 1 or 2ish

Ok, yeah the good ol cruise ship bloat. hahahah. That's why I love hitting the gym on cruise ships, all thosae extra calories build some serious muscle.

he's 1" taller than me. I'm 92.3 as of this morning.

Hes never lifted a weight in his life. it will be interesting to see his 12th week

 

[Shrek]

Is he lifting now?

 

[steveP]

I would say 2kg would be fat loss and the rest water. It's pretty common for people to lose a big amount in their first week when cutting out salty processed foods.

 

[White_Lie]

Does he wear the same jocks for each day of the week or is that to be super consistent for weigh ins?

 

[Repacked]

Yeah, could drop and easy 3-4 kg if he was weighing over 100.

 

[Jungnaut]

You'd lose 1kg just by dropping a turd if you're coming off all bloated from cruise ship non stop smorg fests! lol

Speedos. Just consistent for the pictures

Is he lifting now?

Hes doing the Maxs challenge. 3 weight days and 4 cardio.
He has 3 bulging discs in his neck and tennis elbow which he has been getting treatment for and nothing has fixed. So far his back is getting better and his neck has less stiffness and less headaches.
His arm hasn't needed treatment since before we left for holidays on Jan 2nd.
He never trained because of all the back, neck and arm pain however the lifting and stretching has been whats fixed it.

We walked on the cruise daily. Wevtook our pedometers and hit 10000 minimum daily. The gym was decked out pretty good, better than the Rhapsody gym but couldn't find time between buffets to do a workout....[emoji107]

Yeah they usually have some teething problems at the start with typos and things in the wrong spot for their plans. It usually gets ironed out by the start of the challenge.

For reference, here are the current nutritional and training plans for weeks 1-4. I'll update the original post as well. These are the plans for the males. I'll post the women plans when I get access through my gf's account.
