Old but New Member in search of Friends on here

When I first joined Fitbit I had gained weight wrong and needed to lose weight. I had gained a lot of fat. I have lost that fat now and have been cutting for about 2 months but my ultimate goal is to get more size on me (thicker) while maintaining a low bodyfat percentage. Before I started cutting I was trying to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. It wasn’t going as planned so now my main focus is cutting. I’d like to cut maybe 2 more % body fat and then continue to gain muscle. Main focus areas are back, and legs. I’ve had 2 knee surgeries and some other knee issues where I have to modify a lot when doing leg because of pain. Just want to befriend some people passionate about fitness and encourage each other as well as exchange tips. I’m also of Fitbit. I do Fitbit challenges. It has helped me out a lot.

    Hello, and welcome (back?) to MFP!

    Since you mention wanting to gain muscle, I'm thinking you might find some kindred souls over in the "Gaining Weight and Bodybuilding" part of the Community (most of the serious strength training discussion is in that area).

    Wishing you great success in reaching your goals!
