i was one of the few unfortunate ones who gained weight while using.. like 50 pounds but i think its because i couldnt walk as much as i used to i assume......now that im clean ive lost 25 pounds.....dont know how but i have......
well, i'm still wd, i have an appetite but i haven't had my usual snacks this week....so, i have lost 1 1/2 #...love popcorn and i have only been able to eat it once this week! My stomach is killing me tonight!
I was 143lbs when I quit using 40 days ago, now I'm pushing 165-170lbs. I exercise 5-8 hours a day. Skiing, lifting and climbing all in the same day, I've been eating decent and packing on some good muscle weight, lots of protein shakes :D. I look a lot healthier now, and I feel a lot healthier I actually poop. I have the most disgusting appetite I've ever seen on a human being I can sit down and eat for hours, once I hit 175 I'm gonna go into a cutting phase and shred some excess fat.
