The upside is a longer life. Studies have shown smaller people that just eat less and dont do a lot of hard exercise do live longer. That being said, I do lift weights that most people would call very heavy and I do have a low body fat % about 10-12%. I would like to think of myself as a bodybuilder and my bmi can be…

When I first started to lose weight it took over 40# for anyone to see it. Kind of sad feeling to have been on a diet for 3 months lost a ton of weight and no one could even see it. Now when I cut even 3 or 4# people will see it right off as the muscles in my neck start to pop out and my face gets drawn. So its all about…

The only way to know is when you get your blood tested if your BUN is way to high.

Body mass is body mass, it doesnt matter if its muscle or fat, to much of it isnt good for your health. You might not like it (I know I dont) but the bmi doesn't lie.

It is funny when you think about it. Most people that have been lifting for over 2 years will be lucky if they get 3-4 lbm in a year.(bulking recomping whatever). Why would it be shocking to anyone that he had "help". By help I mean a good spotter and coach.

Or even sometimes non rapid weight loss. I was just fat for a very long time. I have a six pack with a big old skin flap, still like it better then when it was full of fat.

Yeah you have to be careful not to build fat muscle. That is the kind of muscle you get from something like bench press. When you are just laying on the bench, the muscle will want to get lazy and fat. :laugh: All joking aside, just do a search on the web for doms it will give you more info then you would ever want on the…

I think it might be worse for guys, if you try for low key stuff, you end up looking cheep, or just want to hook up. Also as a guy if you eat less then your date, oh that is a big no no. Bottom line is you don't want to make your date feel fat. You get to know them better, plan something out, is often meet with the "lets…

You can build a ton of muscle because you are already "bulked" so you should have no problem maxing out your newbie gains even on a very harsh deficit. That is an easy 10# of muscle to gain on your upper body. Chances are you wont gain much on your legs because they will already have a lot of muscle from carrying your…

Just say your not hungry now and you will eat it later. When she is not looking, just throw the stuff out (where she wont see it). Tell her you eat them and they are very good. She is happy you are happy and sugar and flour is cheep. Even if it did cost a lot how could you put a price tag on your health.

Everyone gets judged for everything by everyone all the time. People will judge you for your race, skin color, height, gender, being to fat, to fit, to skinny, how you dress, how much money you make, who your friends are, who you are going out with, what music you like, I could just go on for ever and ever. You are just…

BMI is fine even for bodybuilders. If you look at most natural 5'11" bodybuilders their stage weight is 165 or under and off season is about 180 and that puts them at about a 25 BMI when they are bulking. Now if you go to a gym and you see the same guys there all the time, you can see right off when a guy starts a drug…

Yes Also, they might not be bad people, a lot of people just let words fly out of their mouths with out even knowing/thinking what they are saying.

2. It is totally out of your control. It is just one of those things where you have to let go and what happens, happens. The fact is that a lot more people get the lose skin then not, so brace your self for the fact you might get it right now. You have to dig in now and get ready for it so you don't fall back in to your…

Sorry man you dont know what you are talking about. I can see it just by the way its hanging, it isn't normal. That is 100% a case of loose skin. Yeah OP can go down a few more % of body fat but it wont fix the skin. This is my post about it http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1164025-loose-skin-the-real-deal You can…

Nothing there is no trick! It is something you will get or wont. Its like asking tall people what their trick was to get tall. I think the hardest part for people about this topic, that is one thing that just wont be in their control. Also the reason you don't see it in a lot of pics its not that hard to crop out or hide…

Sure it could be muscle or it could be water, who knows. It doesn't matter as long as you are sticking to your diet/goals.

When muscles shake it means they are cold and scared. Try talking to them in a nice soothing voice and give them a cup of hot coca. All joking aside, it means you are not very strong in that range of motion so the risk of them failing is high so be careful.

Just don't run on your back and you will be fine.

Hey OP you see my thread about lose skin yet? If not here it is http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1164025-loose-skin-the-real-deal yeah thats me. I hope you take a good long look at it and it scares the poop out of you. I did everything "right" and you know I still got very bad sagging skin. Right now all it is for…

Well what happens when you get back from the trip? Numbers on scales and trips don't matter, just focus on what does. That needs to be your goal, if its going to be a true life change.

I hate to be the one to tell you this but you are setting yourself up to fail. Your thinking is just wrong on all levels. Women wont fling themselves at you once you lose weight or even get muscles, that is just not how it works. Unless you are changing your life for your health, because you want to be a better person, you…

5'11" starting at 300ish last pic about 170.

The problem is you can only see things through your own eyes. When I lost my bulk I though people were treating me differently too, but I was just being treated normal. I just didnt know it at the time. There is an whole other side to this coin that I could only see when I was hanging out with a friend of mine who had 200+…

Let me try this one more time. When ever you lift a weight, you need to do a movement to lift it. All movements are skills, that need to be learned just like anything else. With more skill you can move more weight. Keep in mind skill doesn't equal strength. So sometimes people moving less weight need to be stronger to make…

A lot of times people mistake the fact a lot of very strong people might not want to use all their strength all at once, or even be trained to use all at once, because a lot of lifts are very from dependent and that tends to break down past your 3rep max. You can find 1 rep max calculators online and they are not 100% spot…

I call bs! You are so full of it. Pics or it didn't happen. Now put up or shut up. Yeah I am being rude but I just dont care, you cant go around giving people false hope. It is just setting them on to the path of gaining the weight back. My pics http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1164025-loose-skin-the-real-deal

I think the problem here is a lack of understanding. The basic fact, muscle is built very, very, slowly over a very, long amount of time. It doesn't matter if you if you bulk or re-comp or what ever, it will be slow. Now this is where things get messed up, I know a lot of guys will use a bulk cycle to hide the fact they…

Thanks for the pics waldo, I just think my kind of lose skin is on a different level then yours was, and something as simple as a bulk wont fix it. CC_ Maam- I lost about 1% of my body weight per week. Only thing I used was some whey powder, because I was getting sick of chicken and tuna.

I think I know what the problem is here. So let me give you some real stats, her BMI is 31, that is obese. Most people would call that fat. Be honest to yourself. You know what she has to do to lose weight, be upfront about it with her. Let her chose her own path.
