Getting bigger 😩

amioc · March 2020

I’ve been going to the gym for around 6 months now and lifting weights for around 3-4 months. My goal has been to loose weight while maintaining muscle for a more toned look. My problem is I seem to be getting bigger. My top half is wider especially from one shoulder to the other and my legs an bum are getting bigger 😕 please could someone give me some advice?

Are you tracking what you are eating? Do you weigh all your solids to the g and measure all your liquids that contain calories?

How many calories does mfp give you for losing 1 lb a week? Are you only eating back half tour exercise calories?
Are you using a trend app like libta or happy scale to see weight trending lines?

Do all these things persistently for a month or more and you will lose weight.

You're eating in a calorie surplus. You need to eat less calories.

Information is too vague for anyone to be able to judge.

You say your goal was to lose weight but did you actually lose, gain or maintain your weight?
(How much?)

"Seem to be getting bigger" but are you? Are you tracking body measurements or taking progress photos?

There's also no context around you as a person, you could be old and tiny, young and large, brand new to training or returning after a break etc. etc.

Is your weight going up? Are your measurements going up?

Sounds great, keep it up! Can you squat your weight yet?
