It is an old scales (non digital type) maybe it needs replacing. I have done it no favours by stepping on it a few times with about 95kg on my back. Don't really care about accuracy as long as i can track growth and loss with it

Just curious - why would you step on a scales with 95kg on your back ? Is the 95kg another person ???

I think I'm missing something very obvious here.
Maybe all his plates are in lbs or he has a mix of lbs and kgs, and didn't want to do the Maths?0 -

Here's the thing - unreggd irrespective of what kind of 'weight' you put on, the simple fact is you look a lot better in the second photo than you did in the first. My goodness, you had a waist that Dita von Teese would have spent years trying to achieve! You had very low levels of body fat and now you seem fuller and healthier looking than you did before.
It is, however, highly unlikely that you gained more than 10lbs of lean muscle mass in the course of 2 months, physiologically speaking and even accounting for newbie gains it's just not realistic.
But don't let that detract from your progress. Keep an eye on your bodyfat, and if you begin to get more... 'jiggly' than you're comfortable with then cut back on the calories a little. At the end of the day you feel better (and look better) so use that progress and continue in the right direction. Your diet is fairly good after all

At best,most people should be gaining about 0.5kg of muscle mass a week,according to IRFU nutrition.That would be roughly 4kg of muscle over 2 months,with maybe 2-3kg of fat.Typically,that would mean you should've gained about 6-7kgs in weight.That would be a good gain imo.
But gaining 15kgs in 8 weeks is not right imo.I'm not being offensive or anything,but it just doesn't seem right.That means you were gaining almost 2kg a week!!I think you were probably gaining around 1.5 kilos of fat maybe?I just don't see how else you could have gained 15kg in 8 weeks!! 0 -

It was a pointless exercise done (by the engineer in me) to see if the 95kg weighed 95kg or not.
Of course the accuracy of my scales was the limiting factor0 -
Yeah, im sure i put on a bit of fat, ive been eatin like a horse, but thats a good thingHere's the thing - unreggd irrespective of what kind of 'weight' you put on, the simple fact is you look a lot better in the second photo than you did in the first.

I guess its jus a big change as I went from a crappy program with feckall and crap food to the opposite
but yeah, im happy
and no more shakira hips
My abs seem to respond well to exercise so im gna take advantage of that!0 -
Great progess unreggd!! Clearly diet is paramount. I'm recently back into my gym/programm bigtime again (was doing exams recently so had to take it easy for a few months, surprising how much I've 'shrunk' in that time!) Anyways, what's your reg fitness/weights programme, if you don't mind me asking? Just want to get a feel for what you're doing, seeing as you made great progress - I'm eager to get back to where I was ASAP!
