Laughed out loud at the gym hahahaha

Yes!!! it is the struggle!! I feel like whenever I do planks, it adds another stretch mark on each boob

Yeah a lot of my sports bras have gotten soft and arent as supportive as they used to be, do you might know if thats because of my boobs or from washing them?

Hahahaha oh goodness good luck girl I dont have as much package as you! #keeprockinit

Hahaha I have the same problem! The worst was back in high school in Wellness and P.E. where I had to do the minimum so they wouldnt fly around

Well usually spandex doesnt come with pockets :-) if mine did I'd be set

Blogilates and FitnessBlender are free websites and brands and have calendars to reference off of (Blogilates targets mostly women while FitnessBlender has gender specific calendars) which are very helpful. You can use them as reference and tweak them to fit your busy schedule!

Yeah I always pull up a video from FitnessBlender when I dont know what I feel like planning for my workout, theyre great. 9/10 I just wish they could be my personal trainers in real life haha

I am not a fan of cardio, but when I do, its usually the Stairmaster. Ive grown to adore that machine. It does some help with keeping my butt lifted, but is also a hard workout if you add in lunges or increase the speed! It can be an easy HIIT workout or just regular cardio

Yeah same!! Unfortunately I think I need to cut back because Ive been maintaining my weight :neutral: I gave blood to the American Red Cross and have been set back on my exercising since Ive been super light headed just from walking up stairs! :(

I tried bulking up muscle and to do so, I needed more energy so that equated to more food in my system. So I gained around 7 pounds of muscle, but I was only weight training and not doing any cardio or eating in moderation, so I gained around 10 pounds of fat, too! I kept telling myself I would cut my calories and work on…

Thats so cool, how long did it take you??

I do too but I force myself to eat. I wont force myself to eat a big thing like a burger or even a salad. I'll stick to eating crackers and water until my calories are reached. What really helps is watching a show or doing some paperwork and mindlessly munching on popcorn or something that can fill your calorie deficit and…

Thats amazing!! Some say at your age, its impossible to lose that much weight and to be able to eat like a teenager but you truly cut that myth out!! Im in awe

Geez, that is almost 100 pounds!! That's awesome!!! Do you exercise regularly or just portion control or IIFYM or what?

Sounds awesome!! My new job requires a lot of walking, depending on how long my shifts are but I'm going to try to lift weights again

I have recently been playing with that rollercoaster eating habit considering my new job includes odd hours and a lot of walking! Hopefully it works out for me!

Is there a certain brand thats good and cheap?

Thats amazing!! Thank you! :)

My only problem with bulking/cutting is my self control. When I bulk, I used to eat too much (but I gained muscle mass like crazy but also gained fat) and it would be extremely hard for me to switch into cutting mode. I have a lot of respect with people who can keep up with that

Did you keep watch of your food portions or did you just focused on macros?? :)

Do you do more cardio or weight training?

Sorry to ask, what does CICO mean?

How many times a week do you workout?

Yeah Ive been doing that for two months and have lost 11 pounds! Have you ever had the issue of not being able to lose more fat, and did you lower your calories or increase exercise?

I have been doing so for two months and a half and have lost 11 pounds!! I just have been seeing all of these success stories revolving around losing weight from low-calorie diets and Paleo/Vegan/etc restrictive diets that dont fit my body so I was hoping Id hear that flexible dieting can go a long way!

I am pretty accurate, I just havent used MFP in a month because I have been busy but Ive continued with my healthier portions etc. and I do not have a food scale, why? and I said around 1 lb per week because I used to become too obsessive with my weightloss so I have been trying to keep it steady and consistent instead of…

Youre right I need to be more patient and just continue. I like exercising and its great for the health, but I dont know if I should do it because when you exercise, you get more hungry because your body needs more fuel to feed your muscles, but I feel like that would result in weight gain if I ate more. What do you think?

I was heading towards being overweight at the rate I was a few months ago, I was around 175 and I am 5"5. My initial goal was to lose overall weight because I had a lot of visceral fat. Now that I am slimming down and have reached 164, my goal is to get down to at least 159 and then focus on inches/fat loss. I want to get…

About two weeks, it doesn't seem a lot but I dont want to find out later on that I have been gaining weight instead of losing like usual. Im wondering if my body is getting too used to what Ive been training it to do.
