Thank you ladies for your input! I guess I’m at a weird stage: while I do feel pretty good physically and mentally, I started wondering how I would feel if that number on the scale starts to move up drastically again. Right now my bf% is around 20-22% (based on lots of factors 😂) and am able to enjoy all kinds of healthy…

@Cerizez thanks for the info! That bra size method makes sense for me (32-34). I guess my family got used to seeing me in certain way (baby fat in high school lol) but now I’m different makes them nervous. When I started the topic I was wondering if anyone has looked at their weight in the way I look at myself. Guess it’s…

Sorry no real answer for you, but I just wanna say my husband is the same. When we met he was this carefree, goal-crushing person with chunky muscles lol. But then for the next few years with advancement of his career, he seemed to worry more, like really worrying more about retirement and stuffs. It’s normal and I get it,…

35yo, 166 cm Maintenance weight range= 52-54 kg CW= 53.5 (as of 5/3/20) I think my BF% is around 22 but there’s no way to really get an accurate number with my scale... Goals for May: [week 4/26-5/3] - Follow through the workout plan ✅ - Decrease sugar intake ❌🙈 - Increase protein especially during breakfast ✅ - Devote…

Les Mills OnDemand is great! I’ve been using it since they launched in 2016 (BodyCombat gym classes since 2004) :heart:

Hello everyone! :) I completely missed the April thread mostly because I forgot to log in and our toddler has a magical ability to make me forget about more... :| I’m in maintenance for a few months (postpartum) now and am working on stabilizing a weekly workout routine. I forgot to take the before photo before I started…

Thank you so much! See you around here :)

Thank you both for the suggestions I’ll check those out for sure! Now I realized I was probably trapping myself in my own head thinking I got to follow only one way to do it and even forgot about other resources. I’ve saved a few YouTube clips before and also that thread for dumbbells. Totally forgot to utilize them...…

Thank you so much for the words! (& cute emojis!) I guess what I want to know is like what you described, if there’s even other path to get to my destination. I know it might not be the best nor the most efficient one since I’ve experienced those for a short period of time, but it’d be at least mentally comforting to know…

Thanks for the words! Those photos were taken while flexing so I still have a layer of loose skin/ fat distributed evenly all over my body. Like what you said I do feel like pump is more cardio. I can tell the difference when I did got chance to actually lift heavy with barbells. It’s just hard to choose that path without…

Thanks for the advice! Those seem to be good alternatives to my cardio day activities. I used to swim in the snowy days years ago & loved how I feel afterwards. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon so I can start trying different things!

The first is 9 months postpartum and the other two are about 12 months (close to how I look now at 19 months postpartum) Please ignore the flat top in the second photo... it’s a total mess over there... :(

For me the best combo for successful weight loss (& fat loss) is a balanced lifestyle- being able to eat in moderation, workout in a structured routine (cardio, weights, “fun ones” for rest day, etc), and sleep enough. The last one is the hardest since I had my daughter... those sleepless nights just translated into…

I’ve been working out from home since 2014 and have been subscribing to Les Mills On Demand since they launched in 2016. Varieties are important to me cuz I get board and change my mind very easily. I need “something fun” to keep me going. I happened to get a new fitness watch before the pandemic was declared, so the new…

I used to think I have broad shoulders and thick, floppy arms. That was only 3-5 kg ago but it took me about 2 years to finally see the main difference on my arms. They are no where near perfect, but I like the slightly showing definition. This is not for discouragement since 2 years seems to be really long, but when you…

Hello mamas! Hopefully it’s not too late to join! My daughter is 1.5 now. My only progress so far is losing weight but that’s it. Nothing else’s the same anymore especially my midsection. It was flat and I could even see a bit abs before I found out I was pregnant, but now it’s a lovely pile of loose skin (my daughter…

@SummerSkier thanks for the info! I got the numbers mainly from Activity app since I’m still trying to navigate the Health app. For yesterday, my Move was 519 kcal and the total was 1964. That would put my average resting burn around 1450 kcal (data from the past 10 days is showing similar numbers) and that’s a bit higher…

Two week old Apple Watch owner here! Thank you OP for this thread <3 I started with Fitbit Charge HR in 2016, about the same time I started MFP, and then Charge 2 for the past 2.5 years. It’s a bit scary to switch to a different system but I had enough disastrous degradation experience for Fitbit products, even though I…

I honestly wouldn’t mind letting myself relax a little bit for a few days especially when I’m that close to goal weight. But one thing I’d do for sure: take out the best dress/ new bikini I have & put it somewhere obvious in closet so I kind of push myself to try it on (moment of truth always shows in front of mirror…
