In pain from upping cals? (Girly Issue)
So I recently upped my cals to a "refeed" or "baseline" sort of level as I had plateaued.. over and over again... at lower levels and had all kinds of symptoms of burnout such as low body temp (96F), icy digits, lethargy, etc. Just recently made the connection that I'd been doing it by having a starve/binge cycle, because…

Unintentional Weight Gain
I've dieted down 5 pounds and it took me two weeks. I'm up 8 pounds in 3 days, and seeing the same number I saw over a month ago. I am SO sick of seeing this 10 pound block, and now I'm at the upper end of it - again. I am disappointed, but my waist measurement went down .5" - so I suspect it's; A. Newly started creatine;…
