@cesoucy If you've stalled on weight loss then you are at maintenance. Drop your cals and see what happens. I do crossfit as well mixed with strength training and I monitor my cals vs weight gain or weight loss or no movement to see where in need to be on cals. What's your current cal levels? As far as the headaches; pay…

Add me!

You could try eating less cal dense foods if you're staying hungry. On days I lift heavy I'm much hungrier. Also sounds like you found your maintenance cals, so that a great thing.

Also, I'd get your cals dialed in along with a good training program, then if you are not seeing results your thyroid or test might be worth checking into at a reputable place who can give you a good blood screening.

Ive never heard of any over the counter pills really work, even the shots can be skeptical.

Breakfast, AM snack, Lunch, Mid Day Snack, Supper, PM Snack Each one is roughly 500 cals Most of the time the PM Snack is not needed, but sometimes it saves the day.

Its a process and everyone responds different. Do you supplement creatine?

From your profile pic I'd say your upper body is coming along just fine. Just my opinion.....Stick with your current program until you hit your bf% goal. If you change mid-way through you won't know how your body actually responded.

Keep bumping your cals up by 200 every week until your weight stops going down.

I annoyingly start texting people I know too... I'm like, Hey whatcha got on this! :smiley:

I'd figure out your calorie intake with the Paleo if you are going to continue it, that way you will know how your body responds to your current calorie levels. Are you loosing (cal deficit), gaining (cal surplus), or staying the same (cal maint)? You need to learn your body and how it responds. You're going to hear this…

I had to adjust mine too. What MFP suggested for protein was way to low. Congrats on the weight loss.

I need pizza now!

How ever you can get it all in, I know a lot of folks who break it up in the 4 to 6 range, but not too many who can get it all in with just 3 meals. I'd have to agree on the nutrient dense part though. If you are not eating calorie dense foods like pizza, hamburgers, ice cream, donuts, etc... it's much harder to get it all…

Nope... I can't stand them. I either prep my own food or stop by some local places that sell home cooked pre packed food.

What size plates did you have on the bar? If you used traditional weights anything under a 45# plate is going to put you going down a lot further that you should be and will most likely have you round your back some of your mobility isn't very good. If this is the case I'd suggest using bumper plates to DL that way your…

Have you tried testing your ankle mobility?

It's possible if done correctly.

@Tylerman35 What did you eat yesterday?

Really thinking about it. I'd start a progressive loading program and see how your body reacts to the load. You just might get where you need to be with out to many adjustments.

Dang! Sir, you look great! You want to recomp from what you just described. Do you know what your maintenance cals are? Again! Great job on loosing the weight! Isn't it funny how we are never satisfied with what we have? There are many 53 year old men who would kill for what you've achieved... shoot there are many men who…

That's what I though, you looked tall in your profile pic. Well I can tell you from experience that when I first started, I didn't eat enough and all that happened was I got extremely ripped! You will have to play around with your cals to see what puts you in a surplus. I'm hoping your personal trainer has some nutritional…

How tall are you? How long have you been lifting in a progressive load program? What's the most weight gain you've had from lifting in the past year?

Thanks!

It changes the texture for sure.

@Kitt96 I'd start a new thread... you might get a better response

It really just depends on if you go over your cals snacking all day after eating breakfast. If not then eat breakfast and enjoy your snacks.

That's close to what I would eat. Except you are missing fats. I'd add a good chunk of avocado or a few fist fulls of almonds. I'm 5'8" 172 The thing with those choices though... you will be hungry again shortly.

Thanks for the enlightenment!

This is the best thread on the board! :smiley:
