    Thank you :3 I (and the guys at the gym, who give me endless support) have no idea what the hell my body is doing with regard to food, (constant eating, yet constant fat loss) but the results seem to be coming, so all good! :)

    There is a chick at my gym like that, she finds the more she eats, the more she loses. If she restricts her calories, she gains. Maybe you two are alike?
    Either way, keep up the awesomeness. You look amazing

    What you did is essentially what I want to do. I'm wondering if it would be different for women? I'm trying to lose about 40lbs then gain 10 back lifting weights. This is totally awesome! Good work and congratulations!

    The rate may be different, due to hormonal and physical differences, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work for you :) and thanks :)

    Congratulations on your weight loss. I don't mean to minimize what you did before, but in my opinion you look sooo much healthier now. Even your face has filled out more, and muscle is always going to look better than being skinny. Great job!

    Start lifting now if you haven't already! I didn't start lifting until I'd lost about 20 pounds and now I'm down about 30 with some recomp and wish I'd started at the very beginning!

    Thank you :) Yeah, as I said earlier, I don't think I realised how skinny I was getting. Looking back on it, I don't really like how I looked then :(

    Bizarrely, I'm not actually much heavier than in the skinny pic at the moment. For the last few months I've been clearly gaining muscle, but the last remnants of fat have been falling off, countering what would be weight gain.

    Everyone wanting a tip.... take it from the OP...

    I started lifting 2 months ago and boy are my muscles coming through!!! I "forgave" the last 5 pounds that wouldn't come off so I decided to make that fat into muscle (you get the point)... Women out there, you got to try this!

    OP, you look fantastic and kudos for the post!

    It's so frustrating when I tell my friends, that I want to continue to lift weights as I continue to monitor my eating habits. They tell me, "yeah, you're getting strong, but you're looking bulky!" It's a wonder why we are still friends, BUT I try to explain, I look "bulky" because I have fat that I still need to lose! So as they trek away on the treadmills for an hour, I will still continue to lift, and in 6 months they will be wanting to build back up from being skinny fat and I will retain the lean mass I worked on during that time.

    Great job OP! :D
