Please understand the difference between water weight and fat weight. You're not gonna gain fat eating 1200 calories a day unless your metabolism is completely and utterly jacked up and you sit around all day doing nothing. Which I am 99.99% sure is not the case. Also, please make sure you're counting properly. People, in…

Friendly bump to this thread. It may be the best.post.ever!!!

PLEASE prove this nonsense...

Whoever made those posters are clearly biased, wrong, and to be honest it just burns me up to even read it.

You've lost 124 lbs, and you're concerned about fruit sugar? Does not make sense to me.

From blob to throb! ;) LOL

payowww

Great interview. Alan has a gift with writing. Love his thoughts on IF, post exercise protein intake, and optimal macronutrient ratios with respect to weight loss...

Because that's the way the site works. You don't have to eat back your exercise calories if you don't want to. Some don't at all, while some eat only partial amounts.

Food scale!

Eat sweets in moderation and fit them into your diet! I eat ice cream every day and it doesn't affect anything.

awesome progress, subbed. You have killer logs Chris!

1-2% per month is pretty aggressive.

Awesome post!!

Oh, and for what its worth, almost EVERYONE who decides to get lean (for the first time) realizes the same thing. You are far fatter than you ever expected.

Let me quote this: "In the end we are all very similar. With the exception of a few genetic freaks we all end up in a very narrow weight distribution with low body fats. (your not a freak or you wouldn't be here) Don't be discouraged by this, it just means it will take a bit longer and you can improve that much more." I…

The truth can sound rude, doesn't mean I'm trying to be rude. It simply means I'm trying to be honest. Brutally. But thanks for your concern.

Because you are carrying 20-30 lbs of extra fat on you. That is why. Not to sound rude. But if you're happy with what you weigh, be happy. Its just a number.

Uh, no sir.. Corn is.. brb, working on my thigh gap!

Welcome to what the rest of us already knew! :)

Calories in vs calories out /thread. If the person is eating "junk" and genuinely staying at a deficit, they'll lose weight. If they can't count calories properly, they will not.

Building muscle helps as well as getting really lean will help as well. Most of the time moderate loose skin is simply stubborn fat. Which is difficult to get rid of but the skin will usually tighten up as you lose the fat. The problem is most people can't or won't get a lean as needed to tighten up loose skin.
