Yah I know my conversion was wrong I was just summarizing the idea that fat is exhaled in our breath. The article didn't answer my question would the extra water needed to excrete the fat ( the fat not released in our breath) cause us to urinate more?

I understand the whole the less u weigh the less calories you need making it harder to lose weifht but that doesn't explain how I can lose 2lbs one week and then lose 4 the next and then lose none and the next lose 3 lbs. I guess it may be like you said however your hormones are at the time. I would expect that a lot…

Thanks you guys for the info. This whole weight loss thing is totally new to me. I can remember years ago being a bodybuilder and eating like crazy to get bigger and it was sooooo hard to gain weight lol. Now that I want to lose weight I think of those days and wish I could eat like a horse and still keep my body lean.…

Ok thank god! U guys made me feel a lot better. It's one of those scales that I guess sends electricity or something and measures the bf% I guess Almost like sonar. My Bmi was better but like I said the bf% was exactly the same. Lol normally losing 3lbs I would be super super happy but after reading that I was bummed out…

Thanks guys. The reason I am eating so little calories is because I am doing the nutrisystem diet that is why it is around 1500 calories. I have lost 15lbs or so in a month n half. I still want to lose another 50. Like I said the best way to describe it is the potato chip analogy. Once you pop you can't stop lol. It's like…

I'm eating roughly on avg 1500 calories. Like I said it's not really hunger in general because for most of the day I'm fine. It's like once I taste that food I want more and more of it. The best way for me to describe it is , imagine opening a can of your favorite chips and eating just one and having to put it up. You…

Also I was off the testim for 5 days before the labs so my levels at least it seems to me would have been super low. That is why I was so suprised.

Supplements?? I'm not taking anything.

Just so I'm clear the main problem isn't while I'm eating so much it's an hr or two after i eat it. Also my 3 main meals are bfast, lunch, dinner. I also have 2 really small meals in between those. Like I said though I am fine after my small meals but after I eat one of the bigger ones I am hungry again a few hr later but…

I do boxing 2x a week and it's mostly calisthenics along with bag drills. Those are my intense days. I was just wondering how many calories I should look to burn each workout. So I shouldn't lose more than 2lbs a week? This last week I lost almost 3lbs should I keep things the same or eat more? I want to lose as much as…

Thanks for the replies. Speaking of urine color a few years ago I had the bright idea of lifting weights again. ( I used go be an avid bodybuilder. However, 10 yr later without lifting a weight I was in terrible shape. Unfortunately my ego and pride was as large as ever. That day I lifted my a55 off. I tried to do what I…

Thank you for telling me about that weight loss whoosh I consider myself more knowledgable than the avg joe and have never heard of that. That is really fascinTing. It makes me feel a lot better if I work my butt off and don't show a lot on weight is being lost. I mean I know I have to be with my diet being absolutely…

My scale tells hydration levels I don't know how accurate it is in thst part but if that stays basically the same during each weigh in that I count can I chalk that up to fat loss and not just water levels in my body?

I got another question... When I was in top shape my abs stuck out big time. Almost like if you look at pro bodybuilders and they have the hgh gut. I never did that stuff so that didn't cause it. Unless from lifting weights raised my natural gh levels I dunno. I mean they were bjg and blocky and stuck out like I was nearly…

Actually I don't have it distributed very well lol. My arms are pretty solid with little fat. It's all in my back and belly lol. Here I am un flexed side view.

So are abs different than most muscles that once you get them they will mostly always be there? Is that because we use our core every day? I swear i haven't really trained abs in a decade and my bodyfat% is In the low 30s. Thanks guys for the replies btw!

That is a recent pic of my stomach. I know it's not pretty but can you see what I'm talking about?
