    I'd love to join you! I am 47, started lifting/training with a trainer in September. Started eating clean since then, and I'm pretty disciplined with my eating but sugar is my weakness and I need to re-start that now! I've lost 12 lbs., gained a good bit of strength, and look great (I weigh 118-119). I need someone to compete with!!

    I'm up for that, enough water, coffee, veggie drinks, laxatives and unnecessary carb depletion should see me pass that much weight by then.

    Good luck gaining muscle while losing 4 lbs a week. Recomp is much, much slower than that.

    Sounds good lets do it. And to the ones who say it don't work like that or a little negative. If you clean , low calorie , work hard and ALOT of protein it can be done I am doing it !

    If you think you can build more muscle than a body builder on gear in a week, I've got some stuff to sell you.

    Beginners, obese people and people returning to fitness after time off can build some mass while losing fat. People who have been lifting for a while might build a little, but at a much slower rate. The faster you lose the fat the less likely you are to build lean mass and the more likely you are to lose it.

    It doesn't matter how clean you eat or even if you ate mostly protein, losing weight fast will result in loss of muscle.

    lol I didn't say more muscle just said muscle. How else you explain 30lbs of fat lost in two months, loss of inches in the waist. Gaining inches in all the right places increased my max and mass. Now my trainer is a bodybuilder and does all the shows and is going 100% for size yes its not the same increase. Don't be so negative bro.

    Cool story, bro.

    There are so many people here going to be interested in this magical spot reducing method, that allows you to add mass where you want it and lose it where you don't. You are genetically predisposed to lose in your gut first. Other people will lose from other areas first. And all the massive mass you've added? Tell us the specific numbers, plz. Just because your maxes increase doesn't mean your mass has.

    Did your super deluxe trainer measure your body fat? Not that number would be 100% accurate anyway, but the difference from start to now would be your actual fat loss. That 30 pounds? It wasn't all fat, bro I don't care if all you ate was chicken.

    B4 33% body fat 23% body fat. I weighed 260.9lbs and now weigh 230.8 that is a couple pounds of muscle gain.

    And this is what I'm wondering about. I want to lose weight (fat). I want to gain muscle. Not so sure I can do both efficiently at the same time. I do some weight training, but at this point, I would think that I need to focus more on the fat loss part of things and then attempt to put on muscle once I'm at or close to my goal weight.

    I was told the best way to lose body fat was to eat clean, eat often , and try to have about 30 min at least of high heart rate cardio a day try for in the morning when I do cardio I try to keep my heart rate around 160
