Gaining weight on 1200-1300 calories, around 1lb a week.
I am 5’7”, 147lbs, F and I work out 5 days a week. I have been a “heavy lifter” for 4 years, I lift 3 days a week and 2 days are hiking or biking 4-10 miles. This year I had some money issues and had to move so I was out of the gym for 6+ months. During that time I let myself balloon up 15lbs (136lbs) due to stress and…

Continue cutting or start bulking? Or what??
I'm 5'7, 120lbs. Very loose jello-y fat around waist, have had it all my life. I gain all my weight there, so instead of looking decent and just "thick" when I bulk I just get a huge gut with skinny arms and legs. What do I do.

Gained weight on a 500cal DEFICIT?!
Somehow I gained 3lbs in 2 weeks and am steadily going up. I have been lifting for 2 years so its not "noob gainz". I started the cut 2 weeks ago, consuming 1600cal. Macros are 120g protein, 160g carbs, 55g fat. I weight train (PHAT) 5 times a week at around 1hr to 1hr 30 minutes. I bike 1hr at a low - medium intensity 3-4…

Which is nice and all, but I personally want to look…

HELP!! Gained weight while cutting!
Hi there! I used to lift weights 4-5 days a week, but I had to move about 3 months ago and it took me a long time to find a gym and get settled in my new home. Those 3 months I didn't work out at all besides random 15 minute bodyweight circuits at home which I wasn't consistent with. I got a bit flabby during that time and…

BMR is very low. :/
I sit from 8am-6pm every day on my butt at a computer. I get up, eat breakfast & workout first thing in the morning. I get in 45 minutes of exercise 6 days a week. The 30 minutes are Jillian Michael's 6W6P, and every other day I include a small weight routine after which is 10x4-15lbs arm/chest/back routine. I'm pretty…

Am I doing enough?
Hi there. I'm new to the message boards, but I've been using MFP for a year or so (not continuous.) So my question is, am I doing enough? I "work out" 6 days a week. I just started Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred (Level 1), which is around 20 minutes long and I've logged it being around 90 calories burned. After that, I do…
