And you always end up a few lbs heavier each "cycle". It's 2 steps forward and 1 step back.....but you learn your body and how things affect it pretty well.

Plus you just came out of a large weight loss. You don't want to go too quickly as you want that lower weight to become your body's new setpoint to build on.

I know you're an all or nothing guy, but I was the same way. Just apply that to the training aspect for now, and maybe give the diet choices above a try to see what suits you best.
Thanks man! I really appreciate that. I'm not too proud to say that I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. I'm just trying different things and seeing how my body responds. I only started working out in November and have NEVER worked out before. Crazy transformation to say the least.

Again, thanks a ton!
