What to do if you're skinny-fat????

[Emphasis]

Depends on the body.

If I sleep more than 9 hours at a time, I feel totally weak when I wake up.

7-8 is ideal for me, with 9 being the absolute max. Anything more, I might as well sleep 4 hours. I know it's not healthy, but I feel equally shitty with 4 hours of sleep as I do with 10.

I agree with your point; and factors also include if you're used to it or not, and your schedule.

I think we can all agree though that getting enough rest is important.

that is the worst place to be. and i am there. same weight at 5'10". you can either loose the weight then put on muscle or put on muscle and then loose the fat. i tried to loose the weight first but found it hard. i was on a verry low cal diet and did lots of exercise and didnt loose much weight. the thing about muscle is that it burns callories. so i am now trying to put on muscle in the hope that it will be easier to loose fat with more muscle.
