This is my first cycle and actually I am already 7 weeks in. I have one problem though. My strength is up, libido is through the roof, my muscles are harder and more vascular, and I have acne on my shoulders/back, but I have not gained any noticeable weight! It seems like every time I gain some, I re-weigh myself later that week and I have lost it all... I currently weigh 171.8 after weighing in at 177 last week. I have not seen lower than 171.8 since I started the cycle. Now before you say I don't eat enough let me say this. Before this cycle I only ate TWICE a day with no breakfast or post workout meal. I might have thrown in a shake here and there but not more than one a day. Since I started the cycle I have been eating 6-8 meals per day... For example yesterday I ate:

meal 1:
8 egg whites
cup oats
2 scoops of whey protein shake
heaping spoon of natural peanut butter

meal 2:
grilled chicken breast
cup rice
2 scoops of whey protein shake

meal 3:
grilled chicken breast
cup rice
2 scoops of whey protein shake

meal 4:
rack of ribs
cup rice

meal 5:
muscle juice weightgainer shake

meal 6:
grilled salmon
mixed vegetables

meal 7:
muscle juice weightgainer shake

This is much more than I was eating before cycle and I have not legitimately gained over 2 lbs... The only thing I can think of that could be hindering my gains is that I started getting symptoms of gyno in week three so I did 20 mg of nolvadex daily for the next week and after that continued using 10 mg every day since...

As far as seeing gains naturally first, I have been seeing gains, I just wanted to reach my goals quicker. I only want to weigh 190...Here's some gains for you:

I get questioned every week by my clients as to whether I am juicing or not, or they make some comment about me being bigger, but the scale doesn't lie?
