    Or at least just average sized and strong. OP isn't as strong as she thinks she is, this is just one of her normal threads. Too much of a serpentine "logic" involved.

    You guys and your logic. Don't you see your advice doesn't seem to matter. It's the old close your eyes, cover your ears when you don't hear what you want.

    No one carries 300 lbs well unless you're 6'6".

    Because I want to know if I can lose the weight AND MAINTAIN MY STRENGTH. So far everyone is saying it's not possible, which is FINE but it also leads me to QUESTION MY GOALS.

    Goddammit MFP could ya'll be a little less confrontational?

    Except Ronnie Coleman. He's like 5'10" and carries 300 pounds like a champ :smiley:

    Amazing how the bullies just happen to be on every thread. No lives beyond MFP?

    That's actually an excellent idea. Their input won't come cheap, but it will be tailored to you.

    Well it is because you want your goals to happen and it just won't happen that way. LBM will decrease when you are in a calorie deficit. You weight train to not lose as much LBM.

    Let it go, nothing to be gained here.

    Besides, in more important news, I think my LP has stalled.

    I'm sitting at a 225 bench for 4, can't get that 5th one.

    I am not opposed to that truth. But it does become bullying when people overreact to me saying I might want to stay heavier in order to maintain the strength AND questioning my strength/motives in the first place. My god, have none of you mastered reading comprehension yet? I don't care if it's an absolute fecking truth that I would lose muscle along with fat. I am not arguing it, but rather ASKING YOU GUYS HOW TO LOSE THE FAT AND MAINTAIN THE STRENGTH. It appears as though nobody has an answer to that.
