  • You look SO great! The 4lbs seriously made a huge difference. Giving me some inspiration over here.

  • Very good advice! Get all the gains, time to thin out later. It's easier when you're doing it for yourself, no time frame to abide by, no rules. I will surely take some more pancakes. How do you really know when you eat into BF though on a cut vs water? Also, what was your workout split for bulking?

  • What did you cut to? I was eating at 1350 when I started MFP, I won't ever drop that low again. I'm 5'8", I was 151 lbs, no reason to go that low to start with. I think I lost a decent bit of muscle too in the process. You live and learn though. My logging is tight, I make sure those entries are accurate and I weigh it…

  • Logic told me the same thing, I'm just getting mental about it. Hold steady on the macros and keep watching the trend then, you think? Ideally I was hoping I would be able to break the 2k calories for a bulk!

  • I gained quickly as well! My weight has been going up a pound a week, I can't tell how much is actually water retention. I was maintaining weight on 195C/50F/140P = 1790 calories for two weeks. Then two weeks ago I moved to 220C/55F/135P = 1915 calories and I've gained a pound each week haha. I'm hesitant to cut the…

  • How long did you bulk for? I'm currently bulking myself at the moment. I started at 151lbs, started a cut to 136 lbs but I felt and looked weak. It's been a month and a week since I've been off of my cut and into a bulk and I've gone back up to 141. Granted some may have been initial water retention and weight from…

  • I weigh myself every morning when I wake up, and then average on Sunday. Weight fluctuates so heavily everyday depending upon different factors, so I feel it's most accurate for me. It doesn't work for everyone though- if they get down about the numbers, it probably won't motivate and more so discourage.
    in How often do you weigh in? Comment by lindsaymbirch April 2016
  • Plateaus are normal. Sometimes changing a simple variable will confuse the body and start it back up. Try doing a different exercise every other day, try dropping off 100-200 calories more on a rest day. Variation is great!
    in Why am I not losing weight anymore ☹ Comment by lindsaymbirch March 2016
  • My diary is open, I eat 1250-1350 a day with a decent amount of variety built in. Clean eating with some treats :)
