really dawn? me and my husband were talking about that he has lost his weight but needs more to lose and he wants to bulk up but he said hes going to lose the fat then do the weights because when you have a large amount of weight to lose doesn't the weights going to conflict with that?
"Gain muscle and lose fat at the same time!
Yes! You can simultaneously gain muscle and lose fat, especially if you are beginning or intermediate bodybuilder – its tougher for advanced bodybuilders. Don’t believe those bulker/cutters who claim that you have to get fat to gain muscle, that’s a myth! To gain muscle at the same time as you are losing fat follow exactly the same nutritional advice as above – no difference. To add muscle, all you need to do is add a good resistance training program." See the link attached from where this quote came..

Let me make a correction,my wife said i was trying to bulk,i am not. By bulking she meant me lifting weights to get more muscle definition. I dont agree with bulking process.But what i did tell her was that muscle weighs more than fat. If someone is trying to lose weight,and make the number on the scale smaller, i dont think lifting weights would help that number go down. I currently lift weights once a week just to get some definition,but once i reach weight goal, i will amp up my lifting drastically. These are ideas and guidelines i have picked up from personal trainers,and nutritionists. I also believe that it all depends on what the individual is trying to accomplish.0 -

Great advise from each and everyone. I have to agree completely with the exercise. You can lose weight with just diet but you will be much healthier getting in exercise. Plus you will be able to more and not have that starving feeling because you're going to need those extra calories for your work outs. As long as you make sure your calories are a good C/P/F ratio and a healthy source you should be heading in the right direction.0

I'm not there yet but I was a size 24.. 3 weeks ago, I could fit into my size 20 jeans (big woohoo!) and omg yesterday, I tried on a pair of 18's at the store and they FIT !
I am going to get my butt into smaller and smaller clothes! I am hoping to be in at least a presentable one piece bathing suit for next summer and maybe bikini by late summer lol.
Aug SW was 240... Sept SW was 234... Oct SW was 226. I'll see you in the misses' dept !0 -

Good info, but i still say its better to loose the fat before building muscle. Besides, what works for one,might not work for the other.0 -
me too! how are you doing it, any tips?0
