Decided to stop by to say hello.

A little info about me, I started lifting last year, and this year I got really serious. When I set a goal, I don't care what gets in my way, I will accomplish my goals no matter what. I'm from Toronto, Ontario but I'm living in Ottawa, Ontario at the moment. I've been using MFP for a long time but wasn't really aware of the community.

I also believe in a clean eating approach (lean protein, grains, fruits, and vegetables, healthy fats, no processed food or table sugar), which this mindset has allow me to drop almost 30 pounds (from 155-129) in 3 months. Now I'm looking to build muscle, and over the past month I've put on about 15 pounds of muscle and only 5 pounds fat. (From 129-146.6 so far) Ask me anything, introduce yourself, add me, share stories, whatever :)

    As a young guy who is new into lifting you will gain lean mass quickly, but 15 pounds in a month is not possible. A couple in water and 2, maybe even 3, pounds of muscle per month.

    How tall are you?

    Some of what you've gained is possibly the lean mass you lost when you dropped 26 pounds in 3 months.

    I'm going to suggest that you maintain your current weight for 3-6 months. You dropped a bunch of weight in 3 months and now your weight has shot back up in a month. Maintain weight and follow a progressive lifting routine.
