You'll probably get a pretty fast rebound and gain that weight back pdq. A good bit of the weight was probably "stuff" in the muscle rather than muscle itself although you may have dropped some of that too.

I was just out for two weeks (still a little sick, dammit) and I dropped about 3 pounds but I expect that will be back in no time and I'll probably end up putting on an extra pound or two on top of it.

Yeah I'm pretty sore right now, I just have to give it a week or two and lift light till my body gets use to it again. So would that mean I'll be getting NEWBIE gains again? meaning fast gains with in a month or two? I'm probley just paranoid or self concious about myself I don't know maybe even addicted that I don't think I'm even big? Well thanks anyways I'll let you guys know when I get that weight back.

Well to be honest I don't see a substantial difference. When you are actively working out your muscles store more nutrients so that makes them look bigger. When you have a lay off you start to look more deflated and that is all it looks like to me. I understand you lost weight but what you are feeling is normal. The last thing anyone wants is to feel like their hard work is going down the drains. But this won't be the only time it happens and you will begin to see it's not the end of the world. As you reach a latter stage of "maturity" you should find that you don't drop weight so drastically. Also, you need to really keep up with your eating during those periods.

Thanks Eric, yeah maybe because I'm just not at where I want to be. I'll just hit the weights harder then ever and eat everyday like its Thanksgiving dinner.

	Eric3237's Sig:APT ProWristStraps If you lift a little pink dumbell 300 times...toward the end it will "feel" intense. If you think it IS intense, then you need a better defintion of intensity.
