weight fluctuation is normal Mel, I am currently floating between 68.5 and 70.5, don't be to concerned about it at the moment.

This is true, hydration is the main culprit. You can lose up to 4kg in water weight, but you can also retain a lot of water with a diet high in sodium. My weight has been a steady 83kg for the past week due to eating the same and staying hydrated.

Keep in mind though, muscle weighs more than fat (as we all know) so as your measurements will go down due to shedding the top fat layer, your muscles will also firm up creating more mass. You may actually gain weight once you reach a certain point.

Nah I am talking 5-6kg of fluctuations lol. Think something I was eating didn't like me so have cut out all dairly, egg and soy (I know I am intollerany to dairy, soy and mildy allergic to egg protein) and even tho I wasn't having much at all I cut it out and in a day dropped down to 72 from 77. On a lean and green diet at the moment to see how things go with that. The amount I am training and eating I should be dropping way more than I am and you don't gain muscle that quickly so nutting out what the issue is. I don't have a diet high in sodium, never have. And I drink the same amount of water every day which is 5L (1 per kg of body weight and 1 per hr exercise) general rule of thumb is 2L per day but getting more complex into the nutrition/training recommendation side of things it is 1L per 25kg of body weight and 1L per hr of exercise.

  • 3 weeks later...

Ok so new Update:

Weight: 68.9kg (down 4.7kg since the end of the first week but down 7.4 in total)

Chest: 84cm (down 5.5cm)

Waist: 74cm (down 7cm)

Hips: 86cm (down 9 cm)

Thigh: 49cm (down 3cm)

Arm: 28cm (down 2cm)

Not bad considering I have been a complete Stress head, getting jack all sleep and have missed a few sessions because I went away for a weekend and my partner came down to visit the weekend before plus I Rollerblade and the last week haven't been able to because my ankles are swollen but I think I have found the solution to that - Just need to get hold of some foam lol :)

Muscle definition in my arms and legs is starting to look awesome! Not too fussed about the weight at the moment as the cm are coming off and my strength and muscle tone is definitely improving!

See attached pic so far... Sorry they are shitty pics!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
