You sure about that, brother? Did you do the second calculation? I came up with your BMR around 1930-something....that's maintenance if you're completely sedentary. The second calculation multiplies that times an "activity factor." If you're working out a lot, you're gonna multiply by somewhere between 1.25 and 1.55, so your maintenance seems to me like it's more in the 2500 range. I'm 180 and I can't imagine surviving on 1700 calories a day!

Maybe it's splitting hairs, and getting the scale moving is all that matters at this point for you....so that's cool, and I think you'll get there. Just make sure you're staying healthy too!

(I'm no diet pro though, especially since I'm always trying to gain....maybe some of the other guys with more fat loss experience will weigh in too!)

He should start by adjusting carbs i think.just tryin to simplify it for him

I show 2000, so I took 250 from that!

Well I am at the last hole on my belt!!!!! Woohoo, forgot to weigh myself but I don't think I will see much movement with the weight training! Building muscle and losing the fat!

Pinned #2 today, hit the gym hard last night and blew up chest, tri, and biceps! Can't wait to run tonight!

Also the PIP from the gear I ordered is debilitating!!! Hurts like a mother fucker! I am about to stop this shit and order all new gear from one of our sponsors!

I know the current gear is good (I can feel the difference) but the pain is too much!

Last gear I had was amazing, no PIP and felt even better!! (Can't get that as the guy I got it from is no longer around!!!

Any suggestions on a sponsor???

Need test cyp 250 and aromasin

Lots of things can contribute to fluctuations on the scale...time of day you weigh in, what and when you've eaten, your hydration, etc etc etc. Plus, as I'm sure you know, muscle is denser and weighs more than fat. One way is to throw out your scale for sure! Focus on the mirror and the belt size! I approach it differently, though. I weigh in every single day, at exactly the same time and same conditions. Little micro-fluctuations day to day don't bother me, and I don't build up anticipation waiting for a week to pass to see whether I lost or gained! In your case, I'd focus more on a body fat number, or a lean body mass number (they're functions of one another), rather than scale weight since for most of us, our goal is really more about body composition (how much muscle vs how much fat we have), rather than an absolute number on the scale. I use the Navy body fat method (google it), which uses a tape measure, to keep track of mine once a week. It's not as accurate as other methods, but it's easier for me to repeat week to week than calipers which have always been hard for me to use. And, like with weight.....the number isn't important.....the important thing is the trend (making sure it's moving the right direction)!

As for sponsors....you should be good to go with anybody on here! Just read through their individual forums and see who makes your antenna twitch!

You are so to the point mfire!! Love it man! I have no intention of quitting!! The weight gain didn't bother me to be honest! Hell if I can turn all this fat into a 240lb hulk I will!!!
