Makes sense! Thanks everyone!

Thanks so much for your help! 32? I wish! I am 42. Everything else is correct, however today I did weigh in at 114.8. I know it's been one 116 all week so probably just a fluke thing. I will look for an update. I again really appreciate your help! I posted this before, didn't really get a clear-cut answer. So I'll ask you.…

Hi I don't think so....re: the BMR and TDEE, I will look back through my replies.....but if you want to help me again ;) I think I understand what you are saying regarding #3 in your first response. That my numbers should increase if my weight is....i.e. if I weigh 116 now instead of 114 then my maintenance cals. would go…

Thanks Ruth! This is all new territory and I am unaccustomed to the bulking aspect of things! I don't want to be skinny just healthy and fit. Thanks for reinforcing that my calorie intake isn't too high

I have patience I'm just wondering how fast I should gain.

Wow great find! Just swallowed down some bcaa's in my water bottle before I read this

I don't mind the wordiness at all! I really appreciate the support. I'm doing pretty well with the whole mind game thing, and actually kind of surprised that I can do this on my own because it was kind of a mental battle.

Thanks for the encouragement! Once I realized (Ok I had realized things for a while but could not come to terms with my own addiction) that I needed to stop with the insane cardio and the fact that I could actually be harming myself with overexercise I turn to just lifting and then was investigating bulking more. I did not…

Yes thanks for answering the question. I see the scale go up but I know it also might be water weight from reintroducing carbs into my diet. I was limiting them severely and doing too much intense cardio. Today I was 116 on the scale but I know the numbers on the scale don't mean a ton. It is not like I really gained 2…

My weight has been the same for a couple weeks but at first I gained about 3 pounds because I was malnourishing myself and doing too much cardio. It's stayed at 114 for three weeks but I just started tracking again. My program is pretty heavy lifting and mostly free weights with a few machines. Compound exercises and…

Your progress looks great---did you increase your calories over time continuously while bulking?

It was designed for me. As far as TDEE method, it says I need 1800 maintenance. Right now I am eating about 1950 and doing about 60 min. of strength 5x a week. Little cardio--or just 10 min on incline treadmill to warm up or after strength. Also go for walks with the baby in stroller 3-4 times a week. I am a teacher but I…

I am lifting 5x a week, focusing on lower body 3x a week and upper 2x a week. I am happy with my workout progress.
