  • Is this still a thing? That would be really helpful!
  • First time here and pumped to see what we can do with 10 days! R11 SW 200.8 R11 GW 197.8 7/22: 7/23: 7/24: 7/25: 7/26: 7/27: 7/28: 7/29: 7/30: 7/31:
  • I'd recommend protein bars or maybe heating up some oatmeal or something during your last leg of work
  • This. I like to do weighted hip thrusts with a barbell - they're killer.

  • I've done 1200 cal diets before and found that they are pretty hard to me to stick to without eating back the exercise calories. I'm currently at 1325 calories, working out 4-5x a week (weight training + 20-30 min cardio) and I've lost 8 pounds in about 5 weeks and I'm 5'4''.
  • I mostly agree with the guys above, I've tried fat burners and they really make no difference in terms of progress. I've found that fat burners are essentially just happy pills. All they do is give you a tiny boost of energy, which can help you lose some extra fat, but so can a cup of coffee or tea or preworkout supp in…
  • Alright, looks likes TaoTronics is the way to go! I will check them out! Thank you guys :)
  • Absolutely, at the end of the day, losing weight means you're expending more calories than you're taking in. However, it is important to keep your macro nutrient ratios in mind. My advice is to be sure you're getting in enough protein first, then allow yourself to have carbs!
  • Keep lifting. If you're around 30% body fat or above then your body will likely be able to build muscle and lose fat at the same time and the higher your muscle mass, the more calories you'll burn at rest. Even if you're lower than 30% body fat, it's important to maintain the muscle that you currently have for the same…
  • Periods and lack of sleep are huge factors in water weight, so make sure you're getting around 7-8 hours of sleep and just wait until your period passes and see how you feel! Depending on your workouts you could also be gaining some muscle mass, which is also nothing to worry about.
  • I have a PCP and an OBGYN (though the later just retired and now I need to find a new one) and I've had them both for many years now. I find it's helpful to have doctors that can take the time to get to know you (and your body) in order to best help you. My PCP has been very helpful and understanding during my weight loss…
  • Water water water water! It's gonna take more than a day to completely filter out, but you can get most of the way there ☺️
  • It's all about a positive mind set! Don't let yourself get bogged down by the numbers. People often feel much better about themselves after the starting their fitness journey even if numbers haven't changed (exercise = endorphins = overall more positive view of your body) and that's great! I allow myself to feel better…
  • If I were you, I would wait a week to see where you're at. If you continue dropping quickly then it could be due to a number of things - could be the hyperthyroidism, but could also be due to increased daily activity levels. Give it some time to see if it evens out!
  • Thank you to everyone who has commented so far! I just want to be prepared with a realistic vision of my post-weight loss body so I don't get bogged down by unexpected changes (like this!) so I really appreciate everyone giving their personal experience
  • Hey guys, feel free to add me! I'm a college student and could always use more supportive friends
  • Women often struggle with water retention issues. Make sure you're drinking enough water during the day (i know that sounds counterintuitive but that's how it works) and make sure that you're getting an adequate amount of sleep. Also, yes, food scales are very important because often packaging is wrong about how much food…
  • Hey guys! Id love some more friends, I use the app daily and would love some fit buddies :) add me as you please!
  • Hey all! Feel free to add me, I love new friends and offering/receiving support and motivation :)
  • I love to make cucumber noodles!! Often I'll either add shrimp or chicken, it's ridiculously delicious. I didn't have any tools to make veggies into noodles at first, so I just had to make due with a knife, still thurned out great anyway.
