Just got the depo shot today and some lady was telling me how it would make me fat. I mentioned how I actually have control over my appetite…and that hunger pains are part of life. Come on ladies!? I mean yeah, hormones play a role in weight gain/loss, but seriously - have we forgotten that certain medications cause increases in appetite and thus most people lacking control would gain weight?! Not do to x but do an extraneous variable!? Such as excess calories? Anyway, end of rant.
For those of you wondering about my progress, I’ll tell you a few things that I’ve done - pretty simple stuff actually. Dropped my calories, increased my cardio (6-8 miles running a day). I lift a little bit less frequently. I have lost strength and considerable mass, but being the more endo-meso that I am naturally, along with the other losses I’ve also lost quite a bit of body fat…which has always been my #1 goal. I’ve also incorporated plyos into my workouts, more short sprints, jumping rope b/w sets, etc. I try never to stop moving while in the gym and that has definitely helped!
I have a ways to go still - I’m going to say about 8 lbs and I’ll be very very happy. Hopefully, at that point, les abs will finally be more defined!
Much Love and thanks for reading

I just hope this doesn’t get you complacent. Glad you’re happy with your progress and once you hit that weight goal, I’ll be interested to see what mountaintop you aim for next.

Not all those who ‘lack control’ as you put it, gain weight. I am an endo-meso, like you, I guess. I binge (and I feel VERY out of control here; sometimes I wonder WHY, since I hardly ever end up actaully enjoying what I eat) very severely (the fasting was a phase of a few months in 2004, and now I just binge, LOL) and yet somehow, I’m not all that fat! You shouldn’t have hunger pangs. And you should be wanting to KEEP your mass; more muscle means you can eat MORE and still be burning MORE calories. But great stuff on the bodyfat. Whatever makes YOU happy, I guess.
