Ding Ding Ding...we have a winner. What the above poster said. I would suggest a personal trainer / bootcamp class that focuses on your health. Take it from someone that did it the way you did...it's to fast and harder to build muscle. Keep the muscle you have and build on it. Muscle burns fat. The more muscle you build…

Troll. if not here are my suggestions 1. Stop hitting that button. 2. Eat more. 3. Go somewhere else. MFP has helped make this world millions of pounds lighter. It's a tool, not a Dr. or Nutritionist. It's for here for help.

My guess is water weight. To gain 4 lbs you would have had to of eaten 14000 calories over the maintenance calories to gain 4 lbs of fat and you didn't. I would go with the glycogen stores and probably an increase in carbs and water. If you did any weight training you will also store water in the muscle. So basically don't…

Hey buddy. It took me about 6 months but I did it to fast. I'm actually down about 90 total but build up lots of muscle.

More weight training would be better. Muscle is your metabolism. Build more muscle burn more fat. Long cardio taps into burning muscle so maybe cut your bike down to 30 minutes and supp the 1st 30 with weights. You're doing something consistent which is the 1st and biggest step. Super Job.

1st congrats on your success. Very impressive indeed. 2nd, does you answer exist in your question grasshopper. Maybe. You said that you've increased your running (burning more calories) but how did you change your eating? Are you net calories running below 1200 a day now? I can't see what your eating so I can't be sure but…

No, and not even healthy way to do it.

Great question...my guess is not eating enough.

A recent article I read in Muscle & Fitness magazine suggest you only eat calorie surplus on weight lifting days. On off lifting days / cardio days you would eat a calorie deficit or maintenance if not doing cardio. I'm going to be giving this a try when I try bulking again. I too have an issue with purposely gaining…

1st off congrats on the weight loss. Super Job.. going down 2 dress sizes is progress. BUT...I'm seeing a 1334 dinner. Not sure what it is but it's 1300 calories in your stomach late in the day. You seem to eat pretty good but you could try a few things... 1. Eat breakfast like a king, Lunch like a queen and dinner like a…

Congrats Mike...super job.

Welcome to MFP. You say you're walking everyday yet I don't see that logged. Walking is exercise if you're raising your HR so you need to be eating those. If you're eating 1340 and burring 200 walking your net calories is 1140 which is to little. I would re do my calorie goals and choose lose 1 lb per week. Basically I…

Eating clean gets you back to eating healthy so you get the benefits inside and out. Yes, you will lose weight on a calorie deficit of Twinkies but you'll be a twinkie. No one wants to be a twinkie. The problem with eating clean is reaching your caloric goal. When you eat clean you have more food to eat so most people have…

Congrats on loosing weight and your healthy lifestyle. You're young...the loose skin (it that's what it is) should tighten up on it's own. If it's fat, since you have no access to a gym for a while look at a bodyweight exercise program like Insanity. Surely you must have a friend or relative that bought it and would let…

I know you said no protein powders because they bother your stomach...some of the less expensive ones have a lot of filler that cause stomach issues. Try Optimum Nutrition brands or Gaspari and put some in your non fat plain greek yogurt. YUMMY
-
My 1st suggestion would to NEVER have net calories below 1200. NEVER. Since you are sooo close you can look at it 2 way. 1. A slight calorie deficit and like someone else already said...about 1/2 a lb per week. Or 2. Preferred method is eating slightly over maintenance to build muscle and let the muscle burn your fat. add…
-
You're going to burn calories just sitting on a couch...would you count those. No. Unless you get your HR up into zone 2 or 3 I would never count them.

Nice job buddy. Keep up the good work.

Fabulous!!!

Amen. Well said. I have been on this site for 5 years and I too being a BB coach have never pushed product and most of the people on my FL don't even know I'm a coach. I lost all my weight using BB workouts. I got knowledge from BB. I tried everything before and nothing worked for me. I learned how to eat and exercise from…
