What belt did you compete at?

What belt did you compete at?
Not sure if serious.Just eat less like 700 calories a day. I also tried eating 300 calories a day and working out for 2 hours. I lost a kilo a day
No shame in losing. Shame on the people who could have competed and didn't.I feel like I am legit on that weight class. The limit was 194.5 in the gi. When I started dieting I was 198 or so with the gi on. And I didn't weight cut I never sweat anything out or dehydrated myself. I just ate really clean.
To answer both you guys I got wrecked in the first round. Was my first tourney and mentally I wasn't there. I wasn't assertive with my game. Instead of focusing on being aggressive I was just scared of losing.
Was glad to get the first tournament out of the way . Looking back on it, it's not such a big deal, just another roll. So hopefully my mind is clearer next time

Just do whats natural and compete at super heavyweight. Everyone's a heavyweight, even females.Yeah it's been a good perspective on my diet. I realize I have been over eating most of the time. Before I'd always get the side of fries instead of the side salad cause I thought I'd need it to get through the day. Now I realize I don't need as much.
I'm probably going to land somewhere between my clean diet and my previous
Isn't thays just dehydrating myself though?
Yeah I agree though I'm not starving myself. But instead of a side of fries I get the side salad etc. and inbetween meals I'm only snacking on dried fruit.

Good job man. I was giving you shit a bit earlier for worrying about 2 lbs but I still remember how it was for my first tournament, before learning how to cut, etc.
Now that the first tournament is out of the way focus on your training and your gas. Weight is not going to be a big issue, especially at white belt. Start prepping a few weeks out now instead of the week before. Start visualizing, making a game plan, and mentally preparing yourself for the competition so that it is "just a roll" like you said.
Necro'ing my own thread here. It's kind of interesting after the competition I totally stopped dieting, and went back to eating like normal. With out making any effort to lose weight I'm already down another division(just weighed myself at 181 this morning). It's like that week and a half of dieting changed my metabolism.
Pretty sweet deal!
Nice work on shedding the pounds! However, one’s metabolism doesn’t just “change” after a short period of dieting. Your metabolism is based on your quantity of lean body mass. The more body mass you have, the more calories you burn. You’re probably reducing calorie consumption and don’t know it, and/or burning additional calories by training/exercising more.
