    I've always been on and off with my lifting but I plan to get more serious with it along with my diet. I plan to start a cut while maintaining(trying) most of my strength.

    Hi! I do a combo of kettlebells and running. I find the weights help me with endurance/stamina in my running. I'm looking to start lifting properly to get leaner (lost quite a bit of weight but want to get better muscle tone).

    Any insights on macro percents for cutting/fat loss?

    I do intense yoga and meditation.

    Weightlifting is not good for the body and I may become too bulky and gross. I highly recommend you stop lifting immediately.

    Hi I've been using MFP on and off for a year or so. This is the first time I've utilized the Community feature and I'm hoping to find some like-minded folks to inspire and motivate me.

    I'm a Strongman weight lifter and struggle with weight/weight loss. I'm just over 300lbs which is not abnormal in the strongman game, but I'm caught in the middle of wanting to lose weight and wanting to be strong. I know its possible to do both but I haven't found the magic formula to grow strong and lose weight at the same time.

    Former lifter and NASM trainer starting up again after long hiatus. Got injured, gained a bunch of weight, so here I am. Going to be working on transformation - preserving as much lean muscle mass as possible while dropping a ton of weight. It's a delicate balance of calories in/out and protein in, but can be done. Gotta fuel those power workouts. Add me up if you'd like. I'm in for the long haul.

    That's great! I'm doing a cut at the moment, so I'm definitely feeling the mental struggle of losing weight!

    Yep, and 6 months down the line he's still kicking my *kitten* once a week.

    I really admire those who do it alone from the start and do it well. I have a pretty good understanding of physiology and nutrition... but alone I'd never achieve what I've done so far in 6 months with a PT. I think sometimes even if you know what you're doing (or supposed to be doing) it helps to hear it from someone else. And then of course there's the whole encouragement / holding you accountable / *kitten*-kicking thing they do. I definitely need that :D

    NB: my PT is a really nice guy (deep down when he's not devising sadistic core workouts) and to the best of my knowledge has never kicked kittens. Just a . $ .$ . e . $
