Losing 1-2lbs a week
I keep seeing that a person should not lose more than 2 lbs a week. However, I see people losing 100 lbs in 6 months. How is that possible?

If I don’t wake up sore the day following starting a new strength training workout does that mean I didn’t go hard enough?

It’s more to weight loss and gain then calories
If that was true why are some people able to eat as much food as they want and remain thin, while others (like myself) can eat in moderation and still gain weight.
