Subject: Weight is staying the same... I had the same issue, I dropped down from 230lbs to about 180lbs and have been stable for a while. Once I hit about 190lbs, it took me almost as long as to drop the last 10lbs as the first 40 because I was in the gym a lot. Two things I noticed. The more work I did in the aerobic threshold the more lean I got, losing fat an bulk. If I upped the running (it tended to send me anerobic) or the gym, then I tended to bulk up. The other thing was the type of workouts that I was doing. The more long aerobic workouts that I did, the more I leaned out. My muscles toned up and I leaned off much of the bulk whether it was a run workout, swim workout or bike workout... The other aspect was with diet. It's a pain to do but if you move to lots of small meals during the day then you might see those results from the kick to your metabolism. I can never do it for very long because the rest of my life gets in the way, but it works when I do it. Add that to drinking water first before I ate anything really helped me feel fuller for longer, almost as if I mistook my thirst for hunger...
I don't know, but that's what worked for me.
