  • I had lateral release (both knees, separate surgeries) and it really helped me. If you decide to do it, take care of yourself and do what the doc/PT tell you. I went back to activity too fast (only 1 month) after one and tore my meniscus. Recovery isn't that long, really, just don't jump back into anything too strenuous…
  • I use ~25 g oats, ~17-18 g of a flax/chia blend, 10 g of a coffee protein powder (but chocolate would be awesome) and ~110-120 ml of almond/cashew milk blend. Add a sugar sub of your choice if you want it a little sweeter.
  • There are a couple of good ones I found on Reddit. One that specifically compares Fitbit TDEE to another calculation for TDEE. I use both, so track 3 ways and they are all within 100 calories of each other. That being said, I still eat less than it tells me to because I can't wrap my head around the thought that I can eat…
  • Try making sushi/poke bowls at home. Then I can control the quantity of rice (usually 1/2 cup or less) and heap it with shrimp, crab, salmon sashimi (tuna, if that's your thing), cucumbers, avocado, etc. Furikaki (rice topping blend w/ seaweed, sesame seeds, etc) and a little bit of rice vinegar is great in the rice and I…

  • I use Daily Burn and can do tons with just a few dumbbells and a bench. To get the most, I do like the paid subscription, but you don't have to pay (I don't think). You get at least 30 days free to try it out. Their DB365 is a different (usually circuit training) 30 minute workout each day, which is nice for variety.
  • skinnytaste.com is great! Haven't made a recipe I didn't like.
  • I have been debating about this for a few days. I began an almost all strength training program 2 weeks ago (5 days lifting and 1 day cardio, 1 rest), but wondering if I need more cardio for now. I need to lose 30 lbs, so was thinking a little more cardio until I am down to the last 10 and then focus almost entirely on…
  • Another Westie here! I wish I could dance as much as you in a week!! I just started a workout routine at home, but focusing for me on a balance of cardio, strength training, and flexibility/mobility.

  • Never mind, I found another thread with some answers
  • Me too!! I just got home from my first SL 5x5 workout at my gym. The guys kept looking at me and my friend, which was annoying. I hope that will get better as I continue to go to that section. Congrats and keep it up!
  • Anyone heard anything about Spitfire Athlete?
  • Yes, I am looking for a program to follow so that I am doing the right things in the right order/progression. I can get on any machine and go, but that may not be best for my body. I have been looking at Stronglifts, but the more I look, the more intimidated I get by the terminology and everything. If I go that direction,…

  • I hate to say it, but you pretty much just have to be strong. I quit about 1.5 months ago and have managed to maintain/lose a little weight. Do not expect too much and your short term goal (1-2 months) may need to be just to maintain your current weight. That would still be better than gaining because of quitting. Also,…
  • Also remember that your body may be changing, building muscle, that may not be reflected on the scale but could be reflected over time in body measurements. Helps to keep track of those (waist, hips, etc) as well to see how they change over time. :) Good luck and keep doing such a great job.
