Good work getting in and grinding through it, nonetheless!

[K Y L E]

I also just weighed myself. Two weeks ago at this time I weighed 165. I just weighed in at 150.0 on the dot. I have no idea what made this weight loss. I'm still eating ~4000 cals a day.

[Coke]

Almost sounds like that scale you used is fucked, lol...got to be getting back to it though regardless.

[K Y L E]

Haha, thats EXACTLY what my father said. But, I weighed myself twice that day, once at the gym (with clothes on I weighed 155) and when I weighed myself at home right before a shower it was 150 on the dot. I just weighed myself (I've been eating most of the evening and staying hydrated) and I'm at 151.2. I'm going to get back on GOMAD/Bako shakes, and if somehow my weight goes to less than 145 over the next couple days I'll make a doctors appointment for some blood work or something because I'm legitimately scared at this insanely rapid weight loss.
