    BUMP!!!

    I have been so lethargic over these last few months with life, my workouts, having to at times use energy drinks to get me through workouts and now I can see why! I had lost alot of motivation to continue this lifestyle because it felt so much like punishment. I am increasing my calories TODAY from 1200 NET to 1800 NET (I am 5'9 & currently about 208) and looking forward to increased energy, weight loss, and less crankiness!!! My family thanks you all in advance lol!

    The past few days I have increased mine from 1600 up to 1900. I have added fruits and vegetables. I do hope that I do gain any weight....but I feel that I workout so hard that I should be fine...and I probably needed the extra calories. We will see after a couple of weeks if I regret this decision.

    Just now coming in on this. I've upped my calories and eat between 1800 and 2400 on any given day. I haven't gained anything and hoping to start seeing a loss. I lost 112 in a year and have now been plateaued since the first week of December.

    I eat an average of 2000 cals a day, some days more and others less. I am not trying to lose weight just become leaner so that my muscles may show more :)
