    Hi.. while I'm not running bulks/cuts at the moment, is that what you are trying to do? If you want more information on maximizing your results the Gaining weight section of the forums can help. You can also think about recomp (so maintaining your current weight while changing your body composition) if you want since your goal is to end up back at the same weight.

    Make sure you are lifting using a proper progressive program (both in weight loss and gaining phases), and getting adequate protein. Good luck

    Those seem like aggressive targets. so close to goal you may want to set your goal to lose 0.5lbs/week to limit muscle loss, and same goes for the bulk, so you don't gain as much fat.

    So by July 1, you should aim to lose 4-6 lbs, not 14.

    Good catch I didn't even notice the short time lines. These kind of changes cannot be rushed otherwise you will likely be further off from your goal than when you started.

    Sorry, I don't really know what "running bulks/cuts" or "recomp" means but yes ideally if there is a way where I won't have to shed the weight and then build back the muscles in the right places, that would be great :)

    Would 120lbs (halved) by July 1 be a more realistic goal? Thanks!
