  • Hi Raegold! Did you take any body measurements at the start of your fitness journey? I ask only because you mention weight. You sound like maybe you've added muscle. If you're physically smaller but weigh more than you anticipated, I (personally) don't feel this is a bad thing. If you feel it's not muscle gain, you might…

  • Welcome back! There's no shame to starting over again. I've had my share of back problems short of surgery, so I can only imagine how limited you are with exercise. Are you in physical therapy? Make sure to clear specific exercises with your PT team before attempting them at home. You certainly don't want to injure…

  • Thank you all for the input, it's good to know not to take it all too seriously. I've been maintaining the same weight for 2 weeks now despite increasing my workouts, so I'm going to reduce my caloric intake and go from there.

  • Thank you so much for the help! I'm seeing that much of this boils down to "don't eat crap". Trying to get all my protein and fat without blowing out on calories really limits the foods I shouldn't be eating anyway.

  • I would like to lose 20lbs more,and I've already lost 6. I'm not in a mad rush to do it. I've always been a healthy-ish eater, but I like BIG meals and rarely snack in-between. I only track my macros from morning to afternoon and then I try to eat a small, sensible dinner with nothing afterwards until breakfast the next…

  • If there's nothing you HAVE to have at the fair, just eat beforehand and take a bottle of water with you to sip on. I totally agree that having ONE thing you love and logging it is perfectly acceptable. That being said, I still say eat something healthy before you go and take the water anyway.

  • Good on you! I know it's hard, especially with kids and life and laundry (that damn laundry, I swear...) I struggle with my weight since having my kids as well. You sound serious and absolutely tired of feeling the way you are now. And that's good, because now you have a foundation for motivation. Just remember not to beat…
