Lose fat and maintain muscle simultaneously
Hi everyone, quick back story. I've been overweight to obese most of my life. A little over two years ago I lost about 42kg (93lbs), I've gained about 6kg (13lbs) back of that. I lost the weight through tracking my calories on MFP and walking. Over the past two years I worked my way up to running and cycling. I'm pretty…

Is it the training or my eating?
Over the last year, I put on a good chunk of mass, reaching 185lbs at my heaviest; I went up 20 pounds between the start of 2020 and early 2021. I cut this summer, dropping down to the 175lbs range, however now that it's winter I was looking to go back up in weight. This last month, I switched trainers as my old one was…

New to fitness pal!
Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I started my weight loss journey in august when I decided to do keto, and I lost 50 lbs! Now my goals are to build more muscles, so I decided to add carbs to my diet. It’s been a little bit of a struggle finding what foods contain the best carbs for my body in order to future my fitness…

Is 5 Reps Enough?
I walk over 1 hour almost every morning, but I wanted to add some bodyweight exercises to my routine. I did 10 knee push ups, 10 squats, 10 lunges on each leg, 10 jumping jacks, a 30 second plank, and a 45 second side plank on each side. This left me pretty sore and feeling some concerning neck pain (from the plank,…

May or may not have hit a plateau.
My weight kinda keeps bouncing up and down a few pounds every day. I'm so close to getting below 200 lbs, but it'll go up the next day 😫 I was like 202 pounds a day or two ago and today the scale said 205. Been bouncing back and forth between that range since Thanksgiving. I don't know if it's muscle from working out or…

Feedback On My Workout Plan
My goals are to eventually compete in a bodybuilding show again. I did one show almost 5 years ago now and I’ve never lost the desire to get back on stage. I haven’t been as consistent the past 3 years due to a surgery and two pregnancies so I have a lot of work to do 😅 I’ve been considering getting a coach though but I’m…

Need… More… Protein!
While I’m not as afraid of going over my calorie goal as I used to be, I still want to maintain my 1700-1800 limits while still reaching my protein goals. Too often I find myself going over my carb goal, while having barely gotten half of my protein for the day! I love carbs and I’ll forever stand by them, but I want to…

Baby Bodybuilder
I’m brand-spanking-new to anything bodybuilding. I know pretty much nothing. Looking for a good lifting routine and some high-protein foods to add to my grocery list. My stats are 148 lbs, 5’2”, and around 25% body fat. Trying to focus on the whole body, but my highest priority is my core (arms are a close second). Any…

Getting the Post-Breakup Dream Body
Got broken up with yesterday, because they “never felt an intimate relationship connection with me.” AKA, I got friendzoned by my own partner. I’m not mad at them, and I know I can’t control their feelings. But now, I’m finding this lack of fear about achieving my dream bod. I was too afraid to start working out and…

Kicking EDNOS’ *kitten* (TW: Eating Disorders)
My disordered eating started around April of 2020. I began descending the bottomless pit that is low calorie restriction and rapid weight loss. MyFitnessPal was my Jesus, and the scale was my God. My “goal weight” got lower and lower for every one I reached, proving only that there was no end to this. I was going to keep…

boxin' babe
Currently training for amateur boxing, thinking of losing weight VERY slowly (need to be careful because of an old EDNOS diagnosis). My goal is to get decently shredded but still keep my "soft and sweet" vibe. Current calorie goal is 2,100. My stats are 148 lbs, 5'2", around 25% body fat. Tips, tricks, advice and guidance…
