  • Also got to remember at our size what ever weight you shoot for you're gonna be 6-10 pounds over that the moment you stop dieting.
  • Athletic build, big legs but small waist. Carrying a lot in my legs right now so they are not even lean, so really most of the difference between 164 and where I want to be at 154 is in my legs, rest of my body is not far off.
  • Basically the Weight you will gain going into Maintenance is the Same weight you'll gain when you do it at your goal so yes it will be in the first week but like everyone says most of it will be the extra Water with the stored energy now you are eating more. Its not a few pounds of fat coming back or anything like that,…
  • 5'9 currently 164, with 3 weeks of a strict cut left. was 200 but quite Muscular and lost weight all the way down to 141, but I looked too small then( not Skinny, just not enough of me) So I bulked back up and currently on my way back down. Ideally I want to lose weight to 154 (147 may be too ambitious with a Holiday to…
  • If you decide to put the muscle on the best advice i can give you is to keep losing the weight now, regardless if you get calls skinny. Its better to continue losing the fat you want to lose now bfore changing how you go about it. Once you are as lean as you want to be in life, then go about adding muscle to be the size…
  • Cals are fine, up the protein, eat back some exercise cals tho if you need to. I went from about 200 to 141 first time out, tried to hit the grams of protein for the weight I was aiming for, so go for 160 -180 and see how you go. Rest of the macros are down to what you like eating or what they do to you. I'm not watching…
  • You should stop when you gain enough Muscle, but obviously if your fat/ muscle partitioning isn't great or you have issues with looking fat again just stop when you DONT like how you look.
  • I'm 5'9, on my first weight loss journey I got down to 141, I didn't look skinny, just felt undersized, but I didn't want to be much leaner than that. I think I'm best around 150, I bulked up, Now my new goal is to get down to 147 or below, Eat a whole Large Pizza, and thats the weight I should be!
  • From my personal experience losing the vanity pounds is about being strict and consistent. Not really about staving yourself or going under the recomended calories, just the fact that for at least 2 weeks at at time you will have to be hungry ay night and just go to bed, you can't give in every few days like before. I got…
  • Mainly up calories if you feel too tired to even be active, otherwise yeah you can up the calories but its just going to take longer (much longer than just 'slowing down') for you to get to the goal. Right now i'm about 10-15 out and I'm thinking of dropping cals if anything, going this way eating more is just taking too…
  • Just bulk until you start to get fat, then come back down. But if you are someone who is actually gaining a lot of Muscle with the fat, keep going a bit longer, as it will be quicker to lose the extra flab than to kept cutting and bulking time after time. All depends if you are comfortable dieting down/looking fat for a…
  • Yeah basically you are gaining back some of the weight you will gain back anyway once you end your diet because technically you have ended it. So you just got to restart.
  • At my Fathers now, some Birmingham bun with Cheddar right now, HTB bun in the box and our cheese in the fridge for supper!
  • Lol I thought I would buy it and take it down to my father's as it was half price then I cut it and that was the worst thing to do!
  • Like someone already said it depends on how much work you did on them (Or Lucky Genetics) to know if you'll ever be satisfied at all. If the mass isn't there you might just have the flat look and if thats not what you want, you'll have to go back up. If you know you have the muscle mass in them then you'll just need to get…
  • If you just can't fit your treats in your programme, yes it is better to eat badly once than give in and eat badly for a few days!
  • I ate a whole easter bun a week ago! I need to get back on track, It had been going good since Christmas Considering, I don't have much to go but need to stay strict until June, well apart from Easter itself! More workouts!
  • Just keep going, what you are going through is exactly why most diets fail, but you just got to keep going. I think I was 1000 Calories over on friday, gained 3 pounds. Saturday I just went to the gym did spin in the morning for 30 mins and ate exactly what I was going to, rested that evening, it was all gone Sunday. Its…
  • Nothing wrong with it, but Optimum Proteins give me stomach issues apart from the really expensive ones, Partly down to the Lactose though the Chocolate does taste of Chocolate tho. I had some of their Lean Whey recently it tasted good as well. Basically its just about buying the cheapest one you can stand the taste of…
  • You just lost the weight you worked for all week. Just because you didn't do anything that day doesn't mean your weight would go up!
  • There are companies that just sell the unflavoured powder, both in 'sweet' and acid versions, depending on what you want to mix it into.
  • I am slightly but docs could never figure out why. I do find I fell better eating a LOT but upping my workouts than I do just eating around 1500 and trying to hang in there. Spending a lot of time in the gym tho!
  • To be honest the only people I judge in the gym are the people in groups with all their friends wasting time on a station instead of using the equipment. No one cares about one person on their own doing their own thing, as it doesn't affect them.
  • Muscle stores just filling out. To be honest this is me Most Mondays after a big deficit all week then eating Normally on Sundays, I ALWAYS look better on Monday Morning after working out. In reality you are going to always gain that few pounds when you finish the dieting, and will look more 'toned' with your muscles full…
  • Don't worry about this stuff, this is more to do with how they want their body to look once they lose weight, none of this really matters if you just want to lose weight, just hit the calorie target it sets you, and see where you end up at.
  • Some good advice here, only thing I can add is, if you want to be Skinny Muscular in your words, get Skinny first. Get as lean as you can, then see how much Muscle you need to put on. Some people will say just bulk early as you know you're Gonna be Skinny fat but you don't know, or know what you will have to work on during…
  • You gain about 6-8 pounds just by eating some proper meals after a cut so people who clean bulk 12-14 haven't really done much I would call that just filling out! You get fat when you bulk that's why people are doing less efficient things. I doubt I'll ever Dirty bulk ever again, but if you want that big base getting…
  • But a person Clean bulking but not eating enough to gain the Max they can is less efficient than the person who is eating too much as they are eating enough. So yes it is down to genetics but the guy eating too much will always be gaining whilst the other guy is tweaking his cals. If you knew Exactly how much to eat that's…
  • If your goal is to have more muscle, you can, eat lots and train heavy, gain lots of muscle and get fat, or you could eat a slight excesss train hard, gain muscle little by little and fat little by little over a long period. Now the first person will get the extra Muscle and Strength no doubt, but get fat, so they spend…
