I started prepping this year a little early. Was around 203 by early december then the last 2 weeks before the holidays I was down to 200-201, looking leaner than ever. I hate a huge cheat on Christmas but waistline was down to a new low (at 203) by the next weekend. We do a big family thing every year so both 12/30 and 12/31 I had huge feasts, upwards of 7000 calories per day. No alcohol.
Weight shot up to 210 and is still 205-206?? I have NEVER held weight like this before and I'm wondering if it could mean some sort of health issue holding onto water like this. I have averaged 1700 calories from the day after Christmas until the family weekend (4 days) and again averaged 1700 for the 6 days after the family weekend. Even if those cheats put on a full 2lb of fat on me these subsequent 10 low calorie days should easily have me back to 200-201lb. I'm starving every day and my arms are as small as they got to when I was 201. When I wake up and see my stomach in the morning it looks very soft as if I just had a huge cheat day just yesterday.
I don't compete super soon but I do have a vacation in a few months. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what the hell is going on.
I am only on TRT and arimidex which have been constant for a long time
Any thoughts? I am almost considering having a moderate refeed tonight to see if that shakes off the weight, or taking some dandelion extract. Like I said I've never seen this before and my midsection just looks like mush. My waistline is STILL up over half an inch despite the minimal food and my abdominal skinfold is up 3mm while everything else is more or less the same.
