  • I started FBstrong, so far so good. I like the routines but the calorie burns have not been great.. If I buy another program it would be FBburn. I felt like I should spend the 10$ after using their workouts for over a year lol. It has been a tiny struggle doing a new routine every day, in the past I would pick a total body…

  • I was doing IF for around 6 months, it did make it easier to stay under goal. FWIW, I did an 11 hour eating window because the internet research I did suggested the 8 hour window wasn' t recommended/ as effective for women. It had something to do with hormones.. The 11 hour window just meant I didn't eat until 9 pm ( I…

  • After day three, it's probably a good idea to do this every other day. Your muscles need time to repair- which for most people they will need after a routine with 30 or more squat jumps. If you are sore the next day- take a break ( from squats anyway). Muscle recovery is necessary for building muscle and gaining strength.

  • I don't know her current or goal weights- so I wasn't sure if her weight loss was inappropriate. TBH, it must have been a phase a while ago. I had stopped looking at her diary because I was feeling somehow complicit. So today after posting I read back and she had been eating over 1200 cal/ day lately, so false alarm.

  • Just throwing a tip out, but straight arms planks are way easier for me personally. I can probably triple my plank time in the pushup position.

  • I stopped wearing makeup a few years ago, it wasn't even a close call between sleeping later or wearing makeup. But, now I don't even put any on if I go out for the night. I am in my late 30s and should definitely be taking better care of my skin though. Any recommendations for fast absorbing, light facial creams for…

  • I usually eat all of my calories. At sedentary I get 1440 to lose .5#s a week. There is no way I could stick to that for more than 3 days. My Garmin activity tracker adds calories throughout the day, and I use them. This would probably work, except that I often go over budget. Thank goodness I enjoy exercise because I…

  • Tell yourself (and believe it) that it is ok to eat foods that you enjoy. What's important is that you stayed within your calorie goal. Ultimately, this is a lifestyle change and it will be infinitely harder to maintain your new weight if you have to constantly deprive yourself of tasty food.

  • As far as I know, you don't get negative steps. If you set your activity level to say lightly active but don't take enough steps to actually be lightly active ( I think the # is 3000, but I'm not sure) then MFP changes that day's calories to reflect your activity level. The worst part is the adjustment happens at the end…

  • Is there a reason you set yourself to ‘sedentary’? How would you double dip? Mine is synced as well so my workouts posts automatically too. [/quote] I set it to sedentary because my non excercise activity varies dramatically depending on if I'm working or not. Maybe I'm just being overly cautious as far as the double…

  • If you can afford it, they are worth the money. I have only had Garmins so I can't recommend one brand over another. If you can, get one with HR monitor; thats how they calculate calorie burn. It took about a week for mine to calibrate to me, it was eye opening. Workouts that say they burn 500 calories, I burn closer to 300
    in Activity Tracker Owners - Post Here! Comment by Zipbsky January 2018
  • I have a Garmin vivosmart HR synced with MFP. I love it. Set my activity to sedentary on MFP and it automatically adds calories. I don't manually input my workouts ( I don't want them posted on MFP and I don't want to "double dip" exercise calories).

  • I add unflavored whey protein to canned soup all the time. Even though it's unflavored whey has a slight milky taste, so only add it to cream based soups.

  • The first doc was probably on autopilot, and told you to lose weight out of habit without thinking about it.
