Attempt #643435 to get my *kitten* together
Hello all! I am an (almost) 25 year old cisgender woman living in Wisconsin. I am married (this past Halloween!) with 4 fur children. I work full time with a very sedentary job. I am lazy, unmotivated to do any type of vigorous exercise. I do love to take walks with my dogs and do yoga, but I haven't been doing it as often…

Hello! It’s me!
Hey peeps. I’m a 45 year old mom who’s been stuck at (around) 240 lbs for the last 6 years. I have had so much trouble putting myself first. There’s always so much I do, do, do for the family and my job. At the end of the day my “reward” is bad food. I need to drop this weight for my health, my sleep, my back, my sanity! I…

Weight loss
So I’ve been trying to lose about 10-20 pounds. About 5 months ago I was doing really well. I went from 160ish to 125ish but then I stopped losing weight and actually gained a lot back. Now I’m 136(average) and I can’t seem to lose it. Starting this “journey” at 160 and being obese and wanting to not go back to being the…

Adding custom exercises to MyFitnessPal
Is there a way to add custom exercises to my workout routine (MyFitnessPal database)? For example, I want to add ‘Barbell Floor Wipers’ but it isn’t in the database and so I wanted to add it myself but can’t seem to find how to and so my workout routine is inaccurate when I log it at the minute. I’m on the latest update of…

Scarily High HR?
Does anyone else have the issue where their heart rate is way to high for their age when exercising? To preface, I've lost a lot of weight and I am only 7lbs away from an 'ideal' BMI for my height. I don't like cardio because my heart rate is always too high, I only warm up with 5 minutes of cardio before proceeding onto…

Swimming calories not adding
When I am logging calories burned from swimming (tracked on a Fitbit) it deducts from the calorie adjustment but does not add to my exercise total. Where am I going wrong?

Virtual reality fitness
Hi all. So I've now spent a month playing beat saber again. I'm getting about an hour a day in. It really gets you sweating so much. I use to go to the gym and I have to say for me it's better than the gym because I'm having fun whilst exercising. Ive also been playing FitXR which is a dance, boxing or HIIT workout game…

REACH ONE GOAL - 15 mins daily - 100 days. Start April 15.
100 days is enough time to see a real difference. Set ONE goal, spend 15 mins daily. Examples: - Buns of Steel. - Master the L-Sit. - Master the splits. - Abs or 6-pack. - Do your first chin-up. Or first 10 consecutive chin-ups. This doesn’t mean you’re not doing the rest of your fitness programme. It just means that…

How many exercises per session?
I've been doing this 4 day upper/lower split (see images), but some say you just need to go hard for 4 excercises? What do y'all think? If it's not broke don't fix it?

How much of extra calories earned should I eat?
So historically when trying to lose weight I would not adjust food intake to take into account exercise. Now I am trying to change my relationship with food, to not use food as a stress reliever and to really understand healthy eating with weight loss being a very handy by-product of that. Added bonus that if I can retrain…

Reassurance and Motivation
I’m 5’7”, 272 pounds, and in my early 20s. I know I need to lose weight, and have spent this week coming to terms with my size and making diet and exercise plans.
