    Note to self for the future: trim off body hair before freaking out, thinking you’re getting fat on a bulk. 170.8 this morning, from the 163.4 I started at in September.

    Looking good! You're gaining way more conservatively than I am LOL

    I fulked once; never again. If I go over the 0.2-0.5 lbs./week range, I just get unacceptably fat. Recent bloodwork has shown exactly why this is, and I’m taking steps to remedy the problems.

    I'm gaining at .7 lbs a week. Faster than I'd like, but if I eat any less I'd have to kill myself!

    I’m on the opposite end now. It’s taking me 3150 kcals per day already, just to keep my paltry gain going. Since I utilize mostly whole foods even when bulking, I’m almost ready to cut, just from being sick of food.

    I have to resort to volume eating in order to not feel hungry all the time.

    I do too, for about the first four months. The inner fat kid is why I use said whole foods. My body starts getting pretty annoyed with the forced overfeeding after a while, though.

    SW - 183
    CW - 176.8

    There was a little water weight from new years, but overall, probably lost a good 3 lbs of fat this month.

    4 weeks in:

    SW - 224lbs
    CW - 217.6lbs

    Fairly severe deficit and using a CKD style protocol. Another 3 weeks before I take a diet break.

    So- usually I can manage a deficit pretty well- but I realized I hate everyone- and I'm exhausted- and feeling so very weak.

    And I finally figured out- it's because- you know- I'm ACSHUALLY in a deficit.

    FML- the older I get the harder it hits me it seems. Grumble. the price you pay for losing weight.

    I am with you. I have a bit of extra accountability this round which is helping. But its a daily struggle, especially when i have a gumball machine full of M&Ms staring at me..

    yeaaaaah.
    I find I stress eat at work- because the boss keeps the candy dish full- but I find if I stay out it's easier. the peanut M and M's are the worst. Daily struggle- but it's why we are here!!! more cardio- less m and m's. least that's what I'm telling myself.

    WE KIN DO IT!

    I have a bikini to wear in 32 days. And I'm not cutting as well as I'd hoped. Travelled to Seattle last week for work. Good food and flying = up 5 pounds total. Mostly water weight, but probably not all.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna rock that bikini. But I don't like not making my goals. Stupid competitive streak.

    I accidentally bulked like a butthead and then ran PSMF like a butthead. For some reason maintaining my weight doesn't appeal to me?

    When I go on vaca to Mexico in April, I'll be 5.5 months into this bulk. No *kitten* given. Rock that bikini!!!

    PSMF is a great tool, unfortunately used at the worst time by most as a quick counter measure for over eating.

    So- either my weight is really sensitive to water- or I'm really crazy (or both) felt SUPER fat the other day- last night I was like- dayumnnnn how hot do I look right now! Wish I could make that- less crazy and frantic on a day to day basis- but last nights workout was fking on point.

    I realized I'm "solid" into deficit category- I apparently turn into a raging tired *kitten* when I'm in deficit. so yay? I've arrived?

    But feeling good about the program- weak- but good. and my back feels SO much better when I sleep on the floor- I can't do the mattress any more- it seriously sets me back- it's AWFUL.
    Picture pending? if my phone will load.

    I hear that- I have several- and honestly I'm never *quiet* as on point as I'd like- but I of fall into the "have bikini- will wear" category.
    But it's always nice going on feeling like you're "right" where you want to be.

    yeah- I an control myself better with peanuts. or M&M's- but peanut M and M's- a wee bit rough for me. no lie. once I have one- it's hard to stop there.

    So- either my weight is really sensitive to water- or I'm really crazy (or both) felt SUPER fat the other day- last night I was like- dayumnnnn how hot do I look right now! Wish I could make that- less crazy and frantic on a day to day basis- but last nights workout was fking on point.

    I realized I'm "solid" into deficit category- I apparently turn into a raging tired *kitten* when I'm in deficit. so yay? I've arrived?

    But feeling good about the program- weak- but good. and my back feels SO much better when I sleep on the floor- I can't do the mattress any more- it seriously sets me back- it's AWFUL.
    Picture pending? if my phone will load.

    I have a bikini to wear in 32 days. And I'm not cutting as well as I'd hoped. Travelled to Seattle last week for work. Good food and flying = up 5 pounds total. Mostly water weight, but probably not all.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna rock that bikini. But I don't like not making my goals. Stupid competitive streak.
    I hear that- I have several- and honestly I'm never *quiet* as on point as I'd like- but I of fall into the "have bikini- will wear" category.
    But it's always nice going on feeling like you're "right" where you want to be.

    FML- the older I get the harder it hits me it seems. Grumble. the price you pay for losing weight.

    I am with you. I have a bit of extra accountability this round which is helping. But its a daily struggle, especially when i have a gumball machine full of M&Ms staring at me..

    yeaaaaah.
    I find I stress eat at work- because the boss keeps the candy dish full- but I find if I stay out it's easier. the peanut M and M's are the worst. Daily struggle- but it's why we are here!!! more cardio- less m and m's. least that's what I'm telling myself.

    WE KIN DO IT!

    I actually do extra cardio since the M&Ms we have are peanut ones... Total crack to me!
    yeah- I an control myself better with peanuts. or M&M's- but peanut M and M's- a wee bit rough for me. no lie. once I have one- it's hard to stop there.

    When I go on vaca to Mexico in April, I'll be 5.5 months into this bulk. No *kitten* given. Rock that bikini!!!

    YAY vacation! have a good time being fluffy and bulking and bikinied!

    I accidentally bulked like a butthead and then ran PSMF like a butthead. For some reason maintaining my weight doesn't appeal to me?

    PSMF is a great tool, unfortunately used at the worst time by most as a quick counter measure for over eating.

    I was happy with my timing with it.
