The OP here has really accomplished something that few can - honest, true weight loss. EXCELLENT job, man!
Looks to me like if his weight is going up, it is solid muscle.
The hardest part about losing weight is this -
It is SO easy to lie to onesself about the effort. We count calories but a candy bar or latte or a double cheese "here and there" won't count, now will it? One hour of honest work on a ski machine is equal to one big mac. hardly seems worth it.
Looks like the OP genuinely LOST fat cells. thing is, with fast crash diets, the fat cells shrink but are still there, starving and begging for junk. When you kill the little bastards off, THAT is when you can develop a truely good physique.
My thing is I need to drop about 25 pounds to look good, or 40 to look excellent.
I re-assesed what I was eating and let me say - 4,000 calories a day was not unusual.
Now it is time to stick with 2000'ish so that I can get rid of my unsightly spare tire.
You have to get to the point where you HATE your extra weight, I mean detest it with every ounce of your being.
And if you are a bit psycho like me, as you are working out, imagine the fat cells screaming in pain as they are dieing a slow but sure death.
Here is a scary one for you - McDonalds fries - they do not decompose. That is right, humans will eat them but microbes will not. Throw out some on a hot summer day and they attract no ants, no flies, nothing.
One nice thing if you can stick with a decent diet or at LEAST cut back on junk - your wallet will stay a little fatter.
