Then you are eating at maintenance. The laws of thermodynamics say so.2 -

The level they have set is likely to be right, give or take. But you are measuring and logging wrong.0 -

And yes, hit your calories, not 200 or whatever below. Your deficit is already taken off to give you that number.
Don't worry about 'bulking'. The muscles look bigger as they're retaining water for repair. It's normal.
Should I do cardio instead

Goshhh but there is most of the time 200 left0 -
Don't stop squats and don't stop strength training. Your future self will thank you. There are many benefits. Don't obsess over your thighs, many people have it much worse.

You're not weighing or logging your food with a digital kitchen scale. Of course you're not losing!!!!muffinsandcakes wrote: »cerise_noir wrote: »

Can you please start listening to those that are trying to help you?
1. Weigh all your food. ALL. of it. Log every single little thing. We do.
2. You will NOT get bulky or gain muscle with the calories you're eating now. To bulk/gain muscle, you have to eat above your maintenance, not your weight loss calories. It's hard to gain muscle. Listen to those who have the experience and quit that attitude.
3. Stop. Calm down. Start weighing your food. Be honest with yourself. No more excuses. No more "but I can't". If you want this bad enough, you will do it and get the results that you are after. Listen to those giving you advice.

Am followoing Kayla Itsines Bikini.Body Guide but my thigh fat is there though ive done hell of bodyweight squats( do u think i should stop?? Or is it cardio that is missed!
You cannot spot reduce. Let me repeat, you cannot spot reduce. To get rid of the bumps, eat at a reasonable calorie deficit and be patient. One month is nothing, 5Kg, if that is all you have to lose, will likely take 4-5 months, maybe more depending on how carefully you log what you eat.2 -
ERMAGERD, STAHP! U gonna get so swole! Put down those silly weights before it's too late!5

I don't think you have the vaguest idea how hard people who actually want to bulk work to do it. It sure as hell doesn't happen accidentally.4

ERMAGERD, STAHP! U gonna get so swole! Put down those silly weights before it's too late!
Seriously! My cousin's sisters mom did squats for a month and became a physique competitor! She did no other work, didn't weigh foods or log. Just body weight exercises.
She finally got so bulky that people mistook her for a dude. They where like "dam u swoll "
So yeah girlfriend be careful you might be gaining so much muscle!

Its those hand weights. The pink ones are killers. Mix 'em with Zumba and you have a "lethal cocktail" for being the next Muscle Mag photoshoot victim!1
