Circuit training or one by one exercise ?
I had been doing workouts in circuits I.e. finish one set of each exercise ( I'd usually do 12-13 exercises) without rest in between. Then take 2-3 minutes rest and start again. It took me 40-45 minutes to finish. But now I start doing 4 sets of each exercise before moving on to next exercise. Rest between sets -30-45…

The hurdle of not being hungry
I've been working on a slow bulk for a couple of months now and eating enough food has been fine up until this week. Just the sight of food is kind of turning me off. Anyone have the same problem?

Anybody else a "tubie"?
My reason for gaining weight is because of chronic illness. Of my various health issues, one is a compacted stomach, which means I can't eat much at one time - or I get cramps/nausea. Even eating 6 times a day, I barely get 1800 calories. Soooo, I got a feeding tube to help. My goal is 3000ish calories, until I get to 90…

How long did it take for your non-dominant side to catch up?
I've been working primarily with dumbbells in hopes of getting a little more balanced. My left arm is considerably weaker and gasses out before the right even feels like it's getting warmed up. I've been eating right and lifting 3 days per week. How long do you think it will take to balance things out?

Can you please let me know your results if you sync your FitBit with MFP?
I'm not 100% how this works. When does it sync? What exactly is sent over?... If I exercise I can add my calories whenever and take a look at the change right away. Will the FitBit not show that until the day is over? How does it work and has it worked for you? I just reset my MFP goal to sedentary and to lose 1lb per…
