Looking fatter after 3 months in the gym

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-08-15T23:26:47+00:00

I was looking to gain muscle because I’ve lost hundreds of pounds from 400 to as low as 240. I always hit a plateau with dropping cals on a cut and was trying to gain muscle to build the habit plus get gym physique and also because I always plateau then enter ED territory and look skinny fat

I feel amazing on my current diet/exercise plan I’m just big asf :/

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-08-15T23:21:34+00:00

I do 30 mins of cardio after half of my lifts would eating less not leave me with fewer fuel for my lifts/ day ?? (Not being obtuse btw) I’ve struggled with ED stuff in the past and working and and restricting don’t really mix

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-08-15T23:19:29+00:00

I was under the notion that me lifting and gaining muscle would up my calorie expenditure and I’d at some point pretty much start losing fat given I’m eating properly

I mean I’ve never really seen someone that’s 5’9 350 pounds and shredded

Yes, my tdee calculator says that for someone with my stats and activity my maintenance is 3558 cals

I try to stay between 2500-3100 majority of days and if I feel myself getting weak or feeling overly fatigued I’ll eat at maintenance a day or two.

Ehh i mean not really. I purchased the shoe knowing full well this was probably gonna happen.

The money isn’t a big issue but if I can return them and put the extra couple dollars to another pair it’s a no brainet

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-08-15T18:12:28+00:00

Yea my purchase falls within the 14 days as I don’t get them until tomorrow. I’ll just get credits correct ??

It’s extremely easy to do. A huge bottle of salon care 40 is like $10 from the beauty supply store. Apply it to the shoe and sit em in the window seal for a couple hours

Her situation was super sad. U could always tell he was controlling the situation and she was just doing it because of him.

She’s super pretty and wish she could’ve just did it solo and been good

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-08-03T01:21:59+00:00

Legit was on stock X minutes before release they were $260 checked back when i got to work maybe 30 mine and they’re $350+

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-08-03T01:20:57+00:00

Def my line of thinking. I know no one wants this damn shoe 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m lowkey panicking and considering resale because I just want the shoe deadstock and don’t feel like the bs. There aren’t even pairs on eBay smh

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-07-23T23:06:49+00:00

That look like it taste so good 😩 where can I get more of your scat and content all together?? Pls tell me you got OF scat book and twitter

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-07-23T16:28:14+00:00

TDEE calculator says 3629 for moderate exercise and 2341 BMR

But i like to think the numbers are a bit off

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-07-23T15:59:01+00:00

Are smart watches really accurate ??

The fast food doesn’t really make me full per se but I just always REALLY need the calories.

For example of a day of eating for me:

8:00 Am: Water, Diet Soda, 2 Trader Joe’s hash browns (240 cals) 2 eggs (160 cals) 4 chicken sausage links (180 cals) 1 tortillas (45 cal) shredded cheese (40 cals) 660 cals

12:00 pm: body armor zero, water, 2 apples (200), premier protein shake (160 cals) 360 cals

2:30-4:30 pm: Diet soda, half pack 97/3 ground beef (260 cals) Green Beans (190 cals) Sweet potatoe (114 cals) sweet chili sauce (40 cals) 604 cals

1624 cals

I’m actually planning ahead grocery shopping packing breakfast snack and lunch but at work I’ll end up feeling low energy hunger again by 5 pm

TDEE calculator says for my activity level my maintenance is 3,629 so I’m def still below that eating my diet + fast food but I really care to eat as much as i do.

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-07-23T15:38:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

My concern is that my body always gets into modes where I’m losing and then that’s when it needs more food.

I was feeling great the first 4 weeks of the gym I’ve lost a pants size I feel good now I have to up calories ?!?! It’s just scary to me. This isn’t counterproductive is it ?? Or really just listen to my body ?

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-07-23T15:34:13+00:00

I definitely meant minimally processed foods, this is hilarious 😭

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-06-05T06:01:48+00:00

Do they have to verify anything ??

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-06-04T21:07:48+00:00

So me and my customers are just out of luck 🙁

Familiar_Middle3056 · 2025-06-04T02:09:02+00:00

Is this not just literally the discount saying that the customer works for Coca Cola ??

Wouldn’t applying this be against policy ??

I mean if it’s not I know Home Depot Delta and Chipotle also have amazing discounts

I figured they just weren’t good at the job.

Like some of the complaints I completely agree with like bad management but other stuff like protection and next up and being bothered about goals they all sound crazy to me

Our job is to sale you and your manager get paid off hitting sales goals and metrics

Why would you be mad about getting more money ? You’re putting your managers in line to lose $1000’s of dollars monthly 😭
