Hi Guys!


Need some advise please! I've recently got off a low calories weight loss journey (lost about 30kg in 12months (2014). Now i am looking at maintaining my weight, started in Jan this year. My goal is to shape (some muscles :)) and get rid of the loose skin!


Height: 158cm (5'2)
Current weight: 47 - 48kg (106lbs)
LBM: 37kg (81 lbs)
Current body fat% (according to tanita electronic scale): 18% - 20%
Macros: 1800 cals 186g Carbs / 150 Protein / 50g Fat

As you can see i have loose skin and fats around my stomach! Should i continue to eat at maintenance / cut / up my calories! I am looking at going into a 3 days split strength training + 1 day of cardio.

What will be our advice please? To bulk / cut? Thanks!!!

    First of all congrats on the fantastic weight loss!
    For the loose skin - well I guess it goes with it....This didn't happen to me as I had less to loose...so can't give you advice but as you're young I think your skin will partly tighten up by itself as time passes, anyway.
    - Good luck!

    I had that and it went away - it was a less than that (but I think I lost less), but I'm also 55, so older than you. It took around 6 months. I am told lifting heavy really helps. I just walked. You might get some serious help on the bulking thread - they know all about muscles!
