    DO what we did when I was wrestling, wear the garbage bag suit for running and take lots of laxatives... :flowerforyou:

    I hope this is a joke.

    You aren't eating enough! Figure out your TDEE and eat 10-20% below that.

    Well your at the end of wrestling season so its time to bulk up anyway. I agree with most people on here eat back all your calories after season is over and you don't have to worry about making weight. Just wondering what weight your wrestling at and where do you see yourself at weight wise next season?

    1500 is crazy low for someone who has an active lifestyle like yourself. 190 is a good target depending on your height. You look pretty buff, a lot of your weight might actually be muscle, so you're not helping yourself at all because all your body will be doing is burning off muscle.

    Thanks for the help guys.
    I just changed my weight loss goal to .5 a week.
    I will be consuming 2,000 calorie's from here on out, but i'll be adding a mile to my daily run's as to minimize the 500 calorie leap.

    I was honestly so frustrated that I almost gave up.
    :), But I realized that the only thing giving up will do is put me back where I was.
