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…

Add me! I just came off of a cut, felt weak. Trying to gain slowly and put on some muscle!
-
I'm entering a small bulk myself! Trying to put on that muscle. I'm currently trying 1,915 calories this week- we'll see how it goes!

Feel free to add me/message me! I'm always on here :)

Shoprite has started carrying them in the checkout lines! Sriracha chicken and cran bison flavors!

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.

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!

My diary is open, I eat 1250-1350 a day with a decent amount of variety built in. Clean eating with some treats :)
