  • Here's what I do: Calculate the number of calories needed for basic survival (aka bmr). I make sure that I eat that amount of calories that day. I only "eat back" the calories I burn on weekends, my "cheat" days. If you are looking to lose weight then focus on burning a certain number of calories a week. 1 lb = 3500…

  • Not yet since a Microsoft site isn't near me. But I've been researching since December and I feel like you get the most bang for your buck with that one. The basis peak looks good too but no mfp connection

  • The 5x5 is designed to increase strength at a pretty significant rate. So on top of the fact that you've lost a great deal of weight pretty quick it looks like you're doing good work. You have to remember that your body is responding to new stimuli so give it a chance to adjust. I think one of the easiest ways to know if…

  • Go to nutrition page for that info. I know there's a hack on iifym for tracking them on this app too but I've never used it.

  • BodyRock.tv is another great site where the instructors do a lot of bodyweight/at home workouts. They even give you alternatives if you're not at the point of doing what they are. I believe there is a couple of videos specifically on diastasis recti issues after pregnancy.
