hello everyone
hello everyone , quick question for all im almost two years out im on around 1300 cals or lower mostly protein accept for the carbs in the am , i have noticed that free weight training everything is going up im cutting up but not loseing any advice , the funny thing i dont wanna cut out weight training becuase i wanna keep the skin tight but i so wanna lose the last 20 pounds , i just see the number of the weights going up , anyone else going thru this
i wonder if you are just gaining muscle weight... that happens. If you up the cardio a bit you might burn any excess fat you have, but 1300 calories/day isn't much, so I'm not sure you have any fat left!
Have you met with your surgeon/NUT to talk about where you are at?

sure sue ty for the response i have met with my nut she tells me i just going too gain back 10 percent of what i lost no matter what i do , nothing like telling a person no matter what they do they will gain i was please i work way too hard as most people have too ever here something like this , i always though the reason that we risked our lifes was too live a more happy and productive life , not too always worry about gaining weight
What nonsense. Not everyone gains back the same amount or even anything. Everyone is an individual.
Anyway, you need to track your food and exercise. Then you can look and see if there are patterns that can be improved. Without tracking it, you are relying on memory and it's notoriously unreliable in this area.
Also, once you get down to around a normal weight, the scale becomes less useful. It's really more about lean muscle mass and body fat percentage at that point. As an example, I went up 3 lb. this winter due to lack of exercise, which doesn't sound like much, but it was misleading. I was losing muscle and gaining fat. My body fat percentage went up quite a bit, in fact. Then, when I got back into my workouts, my body fat percentage went down but my weight stayed the same for a while. So I was fitting better in my clothes and I was stronger, but I was the same weight.
