I feel like I sort of have the same problem. I'v been working out for a bit more than a month lately and I'v actually gained weight. However if you look at my diary you'll see I eat pretty healthy. I'm trying different caloric intakes to see what may work for me. Measuring with a tape has shown me my inches are the same…

Hi Swathi! I lost 60 ish pounds in 2012 and recently lost about 20 ish. The first 60 I lost after seeing a nutritionist and changing a lot of my diet. I added eggs which helped me increase my protein intake. As Indians, I realized we eat too much carbohydrates as well. So I decreased a lot starchy foods and increased my…

I probably do need to wait it out. It's just a big concern to me that my weight keeps going up. I wonder if I should just stop lifting. It always happens after I lift and when I'm sore.

This didn't work for me so last week I tried to follow "if it fits your macros" after entering my numbers on their website. It didn't really help…

Also, do I add more calories after I workout even though IIFYM calculator increased my caloric number?

Thank you very much! Yes that was my old caloric goal. Today was my first day of being on 1675 calories. (After inputting my numbers in the IIFYM calculator) Also, @3dogsrunning, thank you for sharing that. I keep on thinking that's the case with me because I felt like I was doing everything I could to loose weight but I…

I meant eating clean in the sense of not eating too much packaged foods filled with preservatives and fillers. I'd like to leave those out because they make me feel better. And I understand bodybuilders and models can have success from IIFYM. I mention them because they usually have fast metabolisms and it seems to me that…
