When I started I was at 254 and I've lost about 50 pounds so far and I'm at 204. My goal was to reach 165 or so. Should I keep with the weight loss or should I try bulking some since I've lost 50 pounds already?

Should I finish losing weight?0

I would go by b/f percentage. Buy some calipers and you can do a 3pt method. It may not be as accurate as a dexa or hydro weighing but they are accurate enough and you can use them to track your progress. I wouldn't bulk until you are around 10-12% b/f. Once I began bulking I wouldn't go over 15%. You don't want to bulk at 15-16% and get up to 20%.0
