meant km yes lol obviosly not miles ;o

Losing fat/losing weight is not the same thing. Take this example from someone who lost over 80 lbs. I began by eating 600 calories a day. I did no exercise. I lost a lot of weight (fat and muscle). Usual loss was around 4-6 lbs a week. Now I am eating 2700 calories a day. I exercise every day for 2-3 hours. I lose a…

Guts are also lean muscle then?

Your diet, my friend, is a nightmare. It consists entirely of sweet drinks and processed foods. I am sure you know that, but eating like that you will not lose weight/cholesterol, etc.

Cheers :)

Of course :)

4 months in total :) Thanks to all.

I do eat a bit of sodium, however I don't eat any processed food at all. In fact, all of my food is fresh and most of it is even raw. I did read all of that link and it seems to make sense, however I am yet to understand how eating more leads to less weight.

This is making me upset a lot. So if I am not eating even that, but gaining weight...? How is this even possible!

Based on that calculator even with sedentary lifestyle I should be eating 2.700 calories No way this could be right?

Also, for the first time in 4 months I had some grains in last 3 days. I baked something out of oatmeal, ground apples and stevia powder (no fats no sugars). Could it be the damned oats?

I am on 1.600-1.700 calories since last week. I used to be on 600 calories but I stopped that and slowly increased it up to where I am now. I spend 2 hours in gym daily. 1 hour cardio, 1 hour weights.

Thanks lol. Every1 keeps telling me to dress like a man now but I still cant get out of teenager clothes :p

Oh yes, there are little pecs under my tits already :)

I lost my first 50 pounds at a 600 calorie diet, so I know exactly what you mean. Thanks all.

I used to have a BIG gut, as you can see from the picture. I don't think it can tighten up. And I don't want it to look like a giant *kitten*. I have two of those already.

Cheers :)

I am talking. Here. I have received only laughs and doubts from people when I said that I am going to diet, so there is no way I could talk about this stuff in person to anyone.

I was planning on doing JUST cardio today but I ended up doing everything and even more because I felt that I would be slacking off and getting fat again. Plus, I ate a handful of prunes today and I am still feeling guilty because they were sweet. If I didn't work out I couldn't handle that.

I am being obsessive about it, I know. But it has finally put me out of my waist 42 clothes into waist 34 ones and I cannot just let that go.

Not only was I able to work out, I was able to increase the weights and do them with less reps as suggested here. Thanks all for the advice.

That sounds scary. And my arm still hurts, moreso even.

Cheers guys, I guess it will have to be just cardio some days now, otherwise I will not be able to lift that much anyway or gain any muscle.

Oh I do want to gain muscles, so bulking up is fine. I have lost a lot of fat-weight so I can begin bulking up. So more reps does NOT equal to more muscle? I am new to the typical western gym world and when I lived in Russia we did workouts every day as kids when we did wrestling.

So if I did a double cardio tomorrow, would that make more sense for the muscles?

Oh I am sure my problems are not serious enough for your replies.

Yes, I do it every day. And until I increased my weights by a bit today I was fine. If I don't go I will never go again so I do have to go tomorrow.

I know the drill, I used to be on 600 cals for 3 months (lost a ton), but when I began going to the gym I first increased it to 900 and now I am at 1300ish. When you increase it from the 600 you will see an improvement in how you feel right away. When going to the gym you cannot stick to anything below a 1000 or it will…

I feel that exercise calculator overestimated my expenditure and food calculator underestimated the intake. I might be paranoid, but I feel like they really do. For example, it seems silly that gardening would eat up more calories per hour than strength training and weightlifting...
