Sounds more psychological. Please see a doctor

it is not possible to gain 10 lbs of fat in 3 wks

Thats' because you are losing fat & maintaining the muscle you already have.

Thats' because you are losing fat & maintaining the muscle you already have.

You continue under eating. You will not gain muscle this way. Eat at a calorie surplus to gain muscle. Diet is important to gain muscle.

You are not going to toned at a calorie deficit. Trying eating at a slight surplus and lift heavy. If you stay on a deficit you will not create muscle. After you feel like you gained a bit of muscle than go back to your deficit & continue lifting heavy in order to lose fat & maintain the muscle you have. This will get you…

we have told you that you MUST eat. You are 5'5 & 110 lbs. & you know thats your problem

How old are you? Look up Intermittent Claudication... Where is the pain located? Maybe its something so simple as shin splints or muscle spasms

Beginners at strength training can lose fat & gain muscle. However, it won't last.

You cannot get bulky on a calorie deficit.

Maybe for you to avoid eating too much, cut out the cardio. Stick to only strength training since you're young. Try to eat at 1800 calories, with your emphasis on high intake of protein. Try Egg whites, lots of chicken breast, whole grain rice, greek yogurt, oatmeal, cheese, veggies ( spinach)

The above poster conclusions are inaccurate. The reason you want to strength train is to maintain the muscle that you already have. Muscles burn more calories than fat. Doing a combination of cardio & strength training is what you want. In the end if you want to lose weight its all about a calorie deficit ( Diet)

Are you measuring your foods with a food scale. This is the only way to accurately count your calories. If you are using cups, spoons, etc. It tends to over estimate on the calories. So you may actually be eating way more than you think.

Looks to me that you didn't consistently meet your protein intake.

You don't need to exercise. Don't exercise. You can lose weight by simply eating at a calorie deficit. Look for an activity that you like & stick to it.

First off its all in your "head." Your legs are not getting bigger. In order for muscle to build it takes a calories surplus. By eating 1600 calories that is not a surplus, thats a deficit. Maybe you're just finally seeing some fat coming off and the muscle appearing. Lifting weights will keep the muscle you currently…

eat more and lift

Your legs are not big. In order to get toned you need to build muscle. And eat at a surplus. You cannot spot reduce. Then when you are happy with the amt of muscle you put. You eat less, and keep lifting to maintain the muscle

Eat at a surplus and lift heavy

You did not damage your metabolism, this is really a myth. ( Look at all those African kids) You lost weight. Now that you upped your calories to barely 1500 calories. You're getting fatter because of three lbs? I highly doubt that. You started lifting weights. This is new ? Right, means you are retaining the water…

It may be a fear of gaining weight & those are the symptoms of it. Are you accurately tracking your calories? Make sure you are measuring foods because it sounds like u're skipping meals. Make sure you eat at least 1800 calories. Try to eat foods that are calorie dense such as peanut butter, almond butter. You are very…

increase your fiber intake for constipation.

If you are not measuring all your foods accurately with a scale than your numbers will be off. Start measuring your foods. Increase your calories till you can gain 1 lb per week & meet your macros which is important especially protein. Start lifting!!!!. If you don't lift the major compound exercises you will not gain…

Start lifting weights. Maintain the muscle you have. So when you do lose the 50 lbs of weight you won't look "skinny fat". Many individuals do cardio only and end up loosing weight but are left with a high body fat from the lack of muscle tone.

With your current stats, its most likely due to having no muscles. Build some muscles by increasing your calorie intake to 2300.. Try to aim for 1 b per week. Stop till you feel you have build enough muscle. & then work on fat loss again while maintaining the muscle.
