Too quick adaptation?
Hey ppl I changed my workout routine last Monday night. Yesterday even my armpits were sore (Flying machine was the culprit), but today, almost 48h after the 1st session, most exercises felt easy. Some of them were so easy I had to raise charges in about 5lbs. Is that normal? I ask that because on Monday I felt like I'd…

New Here
Hi everyone, I joined this app yesterday. My name is Amy. I have 36 pounds to lose. I gained it after my breast cancer surgery in 2020. That surgery put me into menopause. It also took the cancer away, so yay! These hormones are kicking my butt though. It's been so hard to lose. So we will see where this goes.

How do I stop myself from failing?
I gained weight during COVID lockdowns - about 15kg (35ish pounds) so I now weigh in at 70kg (155 pounds). When I was at my happiest weight-wise I was around 55kg (120 pounds) so would really like to get back to that. I'm only 158cm (5foot3ish) so the extra weight is quite obvious and its mainly in my arms and stomach.…

I never really cared about macros…

Automatically update sets, weight, reps values to the most recently submitted in the most used list
I always use the "Most used" list to add my strength training to the app, but the default values are always the first ones I put in. The values are set to what I first entered back when I started working out, when I didn't know what I was doing, so some of them have like 7 sets, which I always need to change to 4 now. (I…
