Sounds good to me. I wouldn't worry about exact percentages of macros, just hit minimums instead. I'm not sure you'll be able to gain at 200 above TDEE. When I did it, I ate about 500 above, gaining a half pound a week.

bikini with bigger muscles.

Frame size Body composition And mainly genetics

Definitely wouldn't be happy about the husband doing that nor would I do it myself.

I'm 5'9". Wearing heels today.

I do have issues with clothes fitting. Pants are too tight in the quads and butt but lose in the waist. Shirts are too tight in the shoulders and arms but too big in the waist again. But again this is the clothing's problem not mine. And really, why would I complain about a small waist? I'm in the market for a good…

This is really HIS problems not hers. He has a HUGE natural advantage when it comes to strength, if he's not using it, sucks to be him. My husband is the same height and weight as me but no way could I ever overpower him.

What most people want when they say "tone" is to lose fat and keep muscle, reveling firm, somewhat defined muscles. The best way to do this is to continue eating at a calorie deficit and lift heavy weights. I'd recommend most beginners use a good standard program like Strong Lifts 5x5, or Starting Strength. Although you…

I know I really should let others have their own preferences. I should. But.... I just can't understand why soooo many women do not like muscles. Why wouldn't we want to look strong? I blame society. Strength and health is valued in men but not women. Why? Doesn't that bother women? Shouldn't we want to be strong just to…

Lady muscle love is never wrong....:flowerforyou:

Oh my gosh! I didn't even noticed this was a zombie thread. It even had the famous AZachery in it. LOL.

I put on muscle pretty easily. Look. I put on 14lbs .... of not all muscle. Eating 2500-3000 calories a day. Lifting heavy weights 2 to 5 days a week.

I don't know how many times I have to say this... IT IS OKAY TO PREFER SMALL, LESS DEFINED MUSCLES. IT IS NOT OKAY TO SAY OR IMPLY THAT MUSCLES ARE "MANY", "MASCULINE", ON "UNFEMININE" (OR "GROSS" OR "EW" OR WHATEVER).

I've drank diet drinks my entire life (my mother was diabetic so that's all she'd buy). I've never been obese.

I don't find him particularly attractive, nor do I like much of his music, but he's funny as hell. Oh, and I'd totally do his wife.

I'm 5'9" and 160lbs. I had to eat 3000 calories a day to gain weight (I went from 150 to 160). Start w/ 2000. Keep adding 200 calories every 2 weeks until you gain what you want.

But won't the glitter and vanilla perfume cause an infection?

I appreciate the message but I really doubt Miley was trying to be judged on her performance last night. Flesh color latex does not say "judge me for my talent".

I agree that her body is very lovely. The latex undies are very unflattering. The tongue is very very weird and I'd say gross. But Lady Gaga's body is glorious and much closer to my personal preference.

I think you do have a point but even free it wouldn't have been as glorious as Gaga's. I'm super impressed.

Also, don't pick a wedgie with chalk on your hands while wearing black yoga pants.

I only wear them going to and from the gym. But I find sports bras incredibly uncomfortable and un-flattering so I wouldn't want to wear them often anyway.

OP, you're only 22. How long have you been married and how much weight has he possibly gained? This is such a minor little bump. You can't let something as silly as a little weight gain cause marriage problems so early.

This. But a 38" hip is about 6 in US sizes.

Cheese. ALL the cheese.

We get to carry a higher weight, but not actual body fat percentage. 5lbs on a 100lb 5' tall woman is 5%. 5lbs on my, 160lbs and 5'9" is only 3.1%.

1.4 lbs could easily be water weight. Give it a couple more weeks before you change anything.

Well I didn't get knocked up by myself..
