I've started lifting weights around early August so maybe I'm being a little to impatient but I thought I would ask. I was pretty chubby last year weighting in the high 190's lbs with little to no muscle. I've changed my entire diet and stated a new life style change. Now I'm in the mid 160's and I can fit into a size 32 in wist pair of pants and still have a little extra room.
But I'm still flabby. Even in my chest which is the worst. It seems that after my work outs I get the post work out pump and my body is pretty noned at the moment (My chest especially since I hate having a flappy chest). Then 20 minutes later when the pump goes away I go back to the flabby state. Its really frustrating since it looks like I don't even work out at all. Is this normal? I'm lifting heavy (by my standards) now to try to build muslce, so pretty much the heaviest wight I can do 6 times with good form.
Why do I have a pumped look after the gym and then go right back to a flabby chest? Does it just take a lot longer to tone up? Is my body not letting me lose any more fat? I'm pretty thin as it is now. Any advice?

Sure I'll post some pics when I get home. I'm not fat but I still have aflabby stomache and falbby chest. But when I finish working out my chest is super toned. Then it goes back to lose and flabby. Hopefully I just need to build more muscle. It seems really really slow for me. I'm not a long stronger now then when I stated but I will keep at it.

LOL You must be a living legend on this site. Every thread I have ever read I have seen you post in. And its usually a smart ass remark also lol.
The thing is I go from toned to flabby which really sucks. Being flabby is horrible. I'm not trying to get jacked just more toned. Then I will worry about getting bigger.
