I'm a little baffled by my weight. According to my tracking I've had a deficit of over 5000 cals for the week and I'm up a pound. I'm figuring my body just doesn't want to get out of the 220's. I'm hoping the weight gain is LBM but only time will tell.
I'm still resolved to keep up with my new habits of tracking, eating well and exercise. That will be put to the test when I go on vacation to the Smokey Mountains in early October. DW and I aren't planning much except to get away and relax. I'm looking forward to it.
I still have my leg workout to do today. It will be a little later as we are going grocery shopping and then need to take some critters in to the vet for maintenance. I'll also be doing my pre-workout later today so I won't have the caffeine to help. I may be desensitized to it and will stop taking it when on vacation. My current workout stack is
Caffeine
Creatine
Citrulline Malate
HMB
BCAA
Next week I'll be adding TMG and after vacation I'll also add Beta Alanine. I'll also be going back to a LCHF diet after vacation to see if that helps with the weight loss. It will be short term as I only plan to be on it for 6 weeks initially and will adjust depending on results.
I hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend.

It sure sounds like you're doing the right things. Don't let numbers on the scale get you down, keep up the good work, have a great weekend.

I was stuck at 225 for a while. What changed it was eating small amounts of carbs before my workouts and on the long rides during. Burning the carbs helped burn the fat.

have you tried HIIT cardio? I have a friend who is a coach & health practitioner who gets ALL his patients/clients to do that & he has had very good results with those who stick to it :-)

Most people don't realize that if they up their exercise in order to lose weight faster, they are actually losing fat in favor of building muscle, and for the same volume, muscle is heavier than fat. I'm sure that is what is happening with you. Make sure you do a weekly measurement of neck, waist, hips, upper arm, lower arm, wrist, thigh, calf and ankle.

And also, eat AFTER the workout, not before. If you are eating after the workout, your body is already in hightened metabolism state so the food will be processed faster and better, with most fats eliminated before they get deposited in the body. If you eat before the workout, by the time the body gets to higher metabolism, the fats are already stored and it takes longer to make them go away.

Wouldn't spend too much time analyzing/dissecting the 1-lb. swing . . . you're doing so well. The October trip sounds like a nice getaway (fall is my favorite time of the year) and I'm sure you can get some hiking in for exercise!

Creatine can cause weight gain or might be hiding your losses. It helps with muscles. Do some googling on it. Many people use it to help gain muscle weight and build.

I think the other posters made some very valid points. Keep working, it will pay off...

I've got both Betaine Anhydrous (TMG) and Beta Alanine in my stack. Next one to add will be HMB, surprised I missed that one when researching what to use.

Hi Frosty. HMB is kind of pricey. The studies have indicated that it's best for beginners. The theory is that you need to basically over train to see the benefit. Personally I've noticed a great reduction in post workout soreness since starting it. Good luck with your weightlifting.
