    Week 15: week of 6 January 2014

    Average intake: 2200 kcal per day.
    Weight per 11 January : 58.5 kg, - 0.3 kg when compared with last week.
    + 4.5 kg from start of bulk, average of + 0.3 kg per week.

    I've hit another fase of not being hungry and have terrible trouble to get even my maintenance amount in. last night I made part of it up in beer. If my weight has gone down / stays even at my next weigh-in I'm going to have to up my intake.

    Omg, I swear we are appetite twins. The past week or so I've been practically force-feeding during the day:sick:

    To be honest I don't see much of a difference between the pictures... But those 4.3 kg have to be somewhere :huh:

    Week 16: week of 13 January 2014

    Average intake: 2268 kcal per day.
    Weight per 18 January : 58.3 kg, - 0.2 kg when compared with last week.
    + 4.3 kg from start of bulk, average of + 0.27 kg per week.

    My weight has gone down again, so I'm going to have to up my intake. I'll be shooting at a daily intake of 2300-2400 kcal. I'm afraid I'm about to come down with a cold though. Feeling like ****, nauseous all day, the sniffles and sore all over. Think I'll have a hot shower and go to bed early.

    Week 17: week of 20 January 2014

    Average intake: 2379 kcal per day.
    Weight per 26 January : 58.7 kg, + 0.4 kg when compared with last week.
    + 4.7 kg from start of bulk, average of + 0.28 kg per week.

    Have been sick last week, but managed to get my intake up again in the weekend with the help of lots of beer, chocolate and other goodies. Also, what's up with DOMS? I've been doing this routine for 6 weeks and I still get sore form every single freaking workout.

    Hope you're feeling better now! Chocolate cures everything :wink:
    Since I switched to bar I've been sore all the time, it's only been 3 weeks for me but I kind of hear you (ouch!)

    Week 18: week of 27 January 2014

    Average intake: 2364 kcal per day.
    Current weight unknown, haven't measured because of TOM.

    Still going strong although I do start to feel fluffy. I'm now slowly shifting from my size 36 to size 38 clothing. That's European sizing :wink: I really enjoy eating this much though, so I'm keeping my end goal of the end of March for this bulk.

    Week 19: week of 3 February 2014

    Average intake: 2310 kcal per day.
    Weight per 8 February : 59.4, + 0.7 kg when compared with 2 weeks ago.
    + 5.4 kg from start of bulk, average of + 0.28 kg per week.

    I'm feeling fat. My clothes don't fit right anymore, I don't have anything to wear to clients, my waist has dissappeared into blubber and my underwear is giving the sausage effect :sad:
    I'm giving it 2 more weeks so I can say I've got 5 months of bulking under my belt and then drop down to maintenance for a week or 2. And then it's cutting time.

    I know I said I would go for the full 6 months, but I'm just feeling too fat this past week :cry:

    You have done brilliantly well! Average gain looks spot on. How are the 'fluffiness' feelings?

    I'm feeling fat! Yesterday I had another moment of " Oh,the horror!". Found that my bra straps were showing in my back :sad:
    Really can't wait to get all the fluff of again.
