Pshaw! No it can't! You're thinking about weights that aren't pink and glittery. Duh.

US protein recommendations. They're a joke. Feel free to up your protein.

IN. Where da pics???

Wait, that WASN'T supposed to happen??? :bigsmile: Way to kick *kitten*, OP!

If you're eating your TDEE, that's maintenance. Unless I'm missing something...

Fatige and freezing are symptoms of hypothyroidism. Not giving a diagnosis, just saying... I suffer from it. Ask your doctor to test your free T3 and free T4 as well as your TSH. Then do some research on what those numbers should be. Never hurts to rule stuff out.

Oooo... That's hot.

Better than Krispy Kreme? I don't know if I can believe you now. :huh:

Fact.

foul floren filth

The callouses aren't a big deal. I just say "meh" and go on with life.

My 5'11" fiance insists they're harder because he's tall. My 6'2" trainer says "Nah. It's all good." I'm 5'2" and have no issues. :happy:

Fluid.

Sounds like us.

In before the lock! :heart: :heart: :heart:

TOTALLY IN FOR THE RECIPES. And I kinda wanna know that too. And I :heart: taunto. :flowerforyou:

*SNORT*

Being in love is being with your best friend. All the othe crap from the movies is just infatuation.

Meh. Nevermind! I think I just confused myself! :tongue:

I think the best thing you can for yourself is be CONSISTENT with something for a while. Give yourself, say, 2 months. Go over the roadmap and do it just like Dan says. Do it for 2 months. Or, even better, 3. Don't weigh during this time. Tell yourself this is your body's recovery time. Good luck.

Depends on your build and where your body likes to store fat, but lifting will def increase your chances of looking the way you want regardless of what you weigh.

Bravo, sir.

Starting Strength is the absolute simplest program I've seen. 3 sets of 5 of 3 different lifts.

I just snorted coffee.

Even serious heavy weight lifting with a surplus won't give you bulging muscles. You're in little danger with C25K. Oh, and this ^^^ is your best exercise.

Accidental double post.

Let's see... 600 net calories would be my first guess.

Low cortisol can cause edema, which is probably where your weight gain is coming from. It looks like your thyroid labs are ok, though not great. I'd make doc focus on that cortisol level right now. Make her fix that. If you're still having issues with weight gain after that, then look at the thyroid meds again. Good luck.…

I'm lifting weights. Heavy ones. Food won't do it.
