I agree that the scale isn't a end all measurement. I have been monitoring only as a reference with adjusting TDEE. Lately I have bee wondering if I haven't reached TDEE yet. The scale numbers over run between 176-180. Body measurement are not changing much but body percentage has. Today's my day to take measurements. The…

I journal my thoughts when I have issues or talk them out for my emotional eating. I own my own business so stress is different than when I was employed. It was worse when I worked for a company. I do ok most days as I'm busy during the day. I have more issues with mindless munching in evening.

When I first started I wasn't sure what each set of numbers meant. I am getting an understanding of different aspects and still learning other aspects. One area have wondered about is my actual TDEE. When I started I used the calculator for EM2WL my TDEE is 2026. My 15% cut is 1722. My BMR is 1473. I am finished with meso…

Apple Watch limits you to 25 people to share activity with by your watch. For those that want to add more than 25, you can download the free app called "activity club" and find several of us on that app. That way you can share and challenge others from that app.

I'm in the first phase. I do 15 reps for most exercises but each muscle group is worked several times, different ways. I have seen great results with STS. And it's only been 3 weeks. I see much better results than I did with Beach Body workouts. I learned of this program through this group.

You can always find most of us on activity club app. I'm under my name.

I am following the STS, bicep/chest on Monday, tricep/back on Wednesday and legs in Friday. If I remember correctly on the program. I was thinking abs on in between days as getting up at 5am already and I have long days on those days.

I have started week 3 this week using the on demand of STS. Hubby ordered the DVDs for me for a Christmas gift, so after the 20th I'll continue on DVD. I have really enjoyed this program. I have noticed a big difference. I have been able to increase weights since starting STS. I did the 1 rep max for everything before I…

I felt frustrated watching the scale go up and still working out and eating better. I'm at 2,000 TDEE. I hop on the scale and take measurements only once a month but I don't put much stock in the numbers. I do take the measurements and calculate my body fat percentage. I use www.heathstatus.com to figure it. I have not…

I am 46 and get most of my clothes at Kohls. Great styles for all ages and great quality and frequent sales.

Those wanting to add to the activity club app, you will need to search people by email or name, For example, I am listed as [edited by mods]. The apple watch allows for sharing with 25b people

Some of us are at our max at sharing, have you tried to download the activity app? Thats another way we have connected to support each other. I'll try to add you to my AW sharing

My display name is [edited by mods], @Nadine_A_Saad and @tiggerlove both seem to have a better understanding than I do. I have found a few people using the settings icon and search for friends.

Yes. It's the one that we are are on. I'm still learning how to navigate around on it. But I think it's a great way to give each other support and challenge each other

Once you hit a specific number of people on your apple watch sharing, you can't add anymore. You can always download for free the 'activity app' and add more. It's another great way to support each other. Some of us from this group are already on it.

I'm in Nebraska. I have been watching others getting a good part of their goals done so early in my day. It does help motivate me some days to see so many doing so well first thing in the morning. Other days I think I'm too tired to keep up,LOL! This Thanksgiving I hope to just get through the day. I may get 5K done with…

I finally found the one rep max on a tools page on her website. It has a lot of neat options on it. I took complete measurements this am right after I got up. I took body fat, circumference measurements and scale weight. I will work hard at clean eating and sticking to Cathe workouts as directed by this STS program over…

I decided to do on Cathe demand for a month to see what I think. How do I figure out my one rep max? I don't see a program guide on the site.

Thanks @empressichel and @Raynn1 that information helps. I think I have been doing mostly phase 2. I did ChaLean Extreme but changed to the other awhile ago. I am doing mostly the 10 rep area on all the exercises. I look forward to getting STS and will order it next week. A friend has sent me a spreadsheet that her friend…

Yes, send out share requests to those that you would like to. Welcome to the group

I used to love to go out on Black Friday. My Mom and sisters and I would go out at 4 am to watch people. My one sister was really into it and could shop for hours. I can't do that. I loved to watch the bazaar actions of some people. It would get hillarious!!! It started getting too dangerous to go out to people watch so I…

I have a question...I'm still going with TDEE and lifting 3 days a week. I do yoga 1-2 times a week. The muscle gain has slowed down. I know the internal changes are happening. I know slow and steady wins the race. My question is: if I am continuing to lift 3 times a week, I should be able to increase my weights regularly?…

Welcome to the group @shannie_b!!! Everyone is great support to each other.

WooHoo!! good job

@donnagaunt31 Welcome glad you are joining!! If you look at your activity app. On the bottom right corner is the sharing section, tap on that. Once you have that screen up, click on the plus sign and start adding names. A page or two back has a list of our email addresses associated to Apple ID made by someone in the…

I am still hanging out at the same weight that I have been for awhile now. I think maybe I have hit my TDEE/daily workout calorie burn sweet spot. I have settled into a routine with breakfast of almond milk, chocolate shakeology, milled flax seed, spelt toast and a fried egg. And of course 25-30 ounces of water with my…

Everyone is doing so great with activity rings!!

@PriceK01 I'm not familiar with doing much on activity app but I'll look for you.
