You can keep the creatine you already have, Max creatine is creatine monohydrate.

I would suggest the Suma supplements, but just saying you can check into other sources like amazon you will find suma for way cheaper and it is the same thing.

BIG congrats on losing all that weight - 84 pounds is outstanding!

My biggest advice would be to try to NOT cheat with the meal plan you go on, and try to really monitor your diet and your BF %, to try to tune it in as you go. I did NOT do this, and saw my waist line increase more than I'd like (although I got some slight increases in my arms and chest that I did like, and overall it was worth it for me).

After a bunch of P90X, Insanity, and P90X2 rounds, I did Huge beast and completed that in November (on Thanksgiving Days of all dates!), and I indeed tried to gain mass while I was at it.

Although I don't have calipers and thus relied on online approximation tools to get at BF%, I suspect I was at about 20%, too, when I started (I had seen my waist slowly increase from a low since perhaps the 2nd or 3rd round of P90X, a good bit before starting Body Beast).

Like I implied above, I didn't stay perfectly strict with the meal plan -- I always like to give myself a reward once a week (e.g. wine or beer and maybe some indulgent dessert on a Friday). But I know I let myself indulge occasionally during the week, too. Given the macro nutrient guidelines of Body Beast call for more carbs and fat than I had been used to from other plans, I sense I still could have been stricter!

And having said that, I also wonder if gaining body fat is just going to be the "nature of the beast", with the intention of "cutting" it off during that last month.

Talk soon,
