Hey all!
So I'm struggling over here and have lots of questions. But here's a few if you can help.
I'm not new to working out. I've yo-yoed a lot. Last yr I was 162lb and weight training 3 days per week with some cardio thrown in there too. I was losing weight on 1600cals but it was really restrictive. Life happened and finances got in the way. I ended up being stuck at home (for the most part) for a while and gained 40lb.
Needless to say now I'm back on the horse. I want to do thins right this time. I go to the gym every morning (5 really good workouts and 2 active rest days). I've figured out that my maintenance calories are right at 2000. So I eat between 1600-2000 cals daily depending on anticipated activity level. I'm burning between 300-500cals in the gym. I've been doing this since January so a little over a month and haven't seen much progress at all. I'm getting strength back and my cardio is getting back to the level of where it was so I'm definitely seeing progress there but I'm not losing weight.
That said, if I took a year "off" basically, would the muscle I'm gaining back now be just about the same as a newbie? I know I'm in a deficit daily... I've worked the numbers until I couldn't work them anymore and my food intake is pretty accurate. Is this lack of patience or do I need to look a little deeper and change something?
