nthing Panache Underwire Sports Bra. 34G/36ddd and it's the only one I buy now. They cover what needs covering, and come in seriously awesome patterns. In all sizes. I'm biding my time to buy a 3rd one to add to the rotation.

When I buy new, I buy activewear bottoms from Old Navy. For the price, it's great quality. I like the cheap reebok muscle tanks you can get at Dick's. I swear by my panache sports bras as they come in larger cup sizes. I also keep an eye out at my local Clothes Mentor for expensive brands to round out my gym clothes,…

when my gym did the workout for our Friday conditioning, to accommodate a dozen people doing it at a time, we rowed 150m instead. (those doing it for competition had the opportunity to do the unmodified version later) Otherwise, we just got on our one concept 2 rower and rowed for calories, no adjusting needed.

This is roughly what I'm doing. My aim is really for .5-1 pound a week, but I'm still struggling with impulse control (which is due to ADHD, so yes, it's all technically mental), particularly on the weekends. But I know this about myself, so I understand that my weight loss is going to be slower and very uneven. I'm ~14…

Check how much you are sleeping, how hydrated you are, and if you are getting enough calories. If all of those are okay, it's probably genetic and you should try a nice peachy color corrector. Works so well on my skin!

Slim Chicken is in no way marketing itself as healthy. I think they are dragging their heels because they don't want to admit just how many calories are in a few chicken tenders.

I've been diagnosed since I was 6 and other than having a healthy diet overall, what I eat doesn't really have an impact on my ADHD. I use caffeine to supplement my non-stimulant medication (we're talking one diet soda a day maybe two on bad days). I am on Strattera, which works really well for me. Stimulants work for me…

He is, however, also an incredibly effective communicator of science to the public. Don't discount that as an important contribution to science.

I can't lie, I'm pretty envious of this. I wish the only difference for me was the bleeding. Just the cramping alone can sap my day to day willpower.

You could do a hand cycle machine for sure. You might also be able to do a recumbent bike or rower, if you adjust where your feet sit so the pressure goes to your heel instead of the ball. Obviously, I don't know your specific needs so those might not work for you, but it's a place to start. I would also look up the terms…

I like body positivity. As a person with chronic pain and various mental health issues, accepting my body for what it is, what it can do, the great things I can accomplish with it was an important step in helping my mental state. That, in turn, was important to begin losing weight. I think people often lose sight of the…

You still have to learn and build discipline. It's a skill!

I'd also make sure that you are eating adequately -- like your sedentary TDEE. Your body needs the energy to heal!

Same here -- we regularly have people come in after that type of injury and slowly work back to heavy weighted squats. I have issues with my knee myself, and back squats are my favorite. I'm cautious by nature myself after a few injuries -- I don't tend to work through pain that much, and I've been stalling my deadlift…

I spend the most on bras (panache, how I love thee) and shoes. I won't skimp there. I get most of my activewear at Clothes Mentor, which is how I have a few pieces from lululemon that I really love. I'd rather buy used if I can. However, I do buy new if I need something ASAP and can't find it used. Hence why I have…

Instead of stopping one to do another, I would find a simple yoga routine to do on your rest/recovery days

If you are eating at a deficit and working the glutes through strength training, you will lose it. If you want to keep your rear, I'd look into a strength training program like Strong Curves. Plus, a big booty made of muscle looks amazing.

Some could be water weight from the increased activity. Since your schedule changed, how are you sleeping? Any trouble? I've found that when I don't sleep well for an extended amount of time, my weight goes up in general.

Where in your hip do you feel pain? Inside the hip? Along the side of your leg? Around the butt region? Does it feel muscular or joint? Is there a click or pop? There are a lot of variables here! I have chronic trochanter bursitis. That sort, you'd feel more in your thigh and down your IT band. Your skin would likely be…

crossfit scales to your needs, and if the box you go to doesn't, find one that will.

I think it depends on what you want to change first. Mine's good if you want to focus on cooking skills first, logging is good if you want to be aware of what you eat first. For me, logging really only clicked after I started to cook for myself. I've suffered from depression and anxiety on and off all my life, and logging…

Start small. Change one habit at a time. From what you've written, it seems like you struggle with meal planning and not knowing how to cook. Meal Prepping may be for you. They are often "big pot" meals, divided into daily amounts. I make one big meal each for breakfast and lunch, myself. This week, I have a sweet potato…

Breakfast: sweet curry chicken and sweet potato hash w/apples and onions. Lunch: Steak bites with roasted sweet potato and carrots. Snacks: Siggi's skyr and either a power crunch bar or kettle popcorn (depending on if it is a gym day or not) Dinner is less planned and varies

Old Navy for sure. Their workout gear is top notch.

I gained weight after I became a gym rat, too! Went for a whole years 3x a week, and didn't see progress until I got serious about my diet at the beginning of the year. Invest in a kitchen scale and build those recipes. That's what's going to help the most.

I've lost 10lbs and while I went down a size in jeans, I just barely needed the larger size. I don't think I'm ever going to be anything other than predominately medium in shirts either -- even when I hit my 30lb goal.

I'm technically on a diet break right now. It's a high-stress week, so I ordered Hello Fresh and the dinners are so much larger than I usually eat, and I may forget to track say, a handful of goldfish (and not the sundae I picked up at culvers last night) But somehow, I've been losing weight this week anyways, so who knows.

Crossfit-like Gym: 3x a week, Yoga 1x. Then Troupe Rehearsal at the dance studio 1x Week. Additional dance time if I'm prepping for a show or working on a new solo as needed (next week starts 7 days a week!)

I had never made a hash before so I used this recipe for technique, and used the following ingredients instead.: 14 ounce, Sweet Potato • 1 lb(s), Ground Chicken • 96.00 gram, Onion • 1 T., Butter • 5 ounce, Green Apple I may increase the amount of butter next time, so that I can get the potatoes just a little crispier

I would. One thing you could do is prep your breakfast for the entire week on the weekend, that way all you need to do is heat and eat. I'm currently prepping a sweet potato hash with chicken, apples, and onions. Since I can eat at work, I just heat it up when I get hungry.
