    Hahahaha! 0.8 is NOTHING... Plus, you did lose almost 5 pounds last week, so I think it probably averages out nicely... :)

    Weren't you expecting it though with the creatine? Maybe it's all muscle and in that case it's good.

    yes, I'm pretty sure is the creatine, today I had the first workout after a few days on it and added weight to the bar in most exercises, is probably gonna be a couple more weeks like that, or maybe not, we'll see

    Quick muscle gain doesn't last a long time as I'm sure you know. After a month or so, it should come slowly and there won't be confounding between muscle gain and fat gain.

    creatine improves performance and recovery, it wont give you any muscle gains, for gaining muscle you need a calorie surplus, unless you are a newbie or on gear, none of those applies to me. I've noticed an improvement in strength, stamina and recovery time, it's pretty much the only supplement that's proven to work so I'll take the temporary weight gain

    You seem like a brave fella, I just saw this recipe for "Carrot Dogs" in my newsfeed shared by Forks Over Knives. I may try them, but if you do before me, let know what you think http://nutritionstudies.org/recipes/meal/carrot-dogs/

    Those look pretty yummy - we've been having a lot of roast whole carrots lately and they are delicious!

    @minigrrll I love roasted carrots, the ingredients for the "carrot dogs" sound like they'd flavor them really nice. I am going to try these at some point. And you just inadvertently reminded that you were the one that pictured veggie dogs. I couldn't remember, so I shared with those who have plant/vegan in the group. Still need work on this mental clarity thing. hahaha

    I have zero "mental clarity"! I can hardly remember yesterday... I find that all the threads in this group confuse the heck out of me!

    another week gaining, is this weight loss or the beginning of a low key dreamer bulk? :D

    anyway, I got the feeling that next week this creatine related weight loss stall will be ovah. I want to believe

    When I hit the weights, I stall for a month or even two and then the fat loss is more than muscle gain and I lose weight. I suspect that is what your looking at also like you alluded to. Good luck.

    yes it looked good and tasted great haha, only downside it can become a bit of a challenge to eat that much food, my tummy mas bursting at the seams by the end, I'm sure the little good guys in my gut flora were happily munching on all that :D

    I always have that issue when I am eating whole foods, too, @x3nomorph. But like you said, let them munch away!

    my weight loss was stalled for 3 weeks because of the creatine load phase but I could tell I was losing fat, since I could fit in a pair of 32 jeans for the first time in ages, I really don't understand why the numbers in clothes don't match the real measures in my waist(36 inches) either the jeans stretched somehow or people are getting so fat that the manufacturers are cheating with clothes sizes :D

    Awesome on the loss!!! (And yes, it's called "vanity sizing"!! I order so many clothes online and it's just SO frustrating - you can never tell what is going to fit and what isn't....)
