Thank you!

So I finally decided to let him go and he turned on me and became so nasty that I don't think I've encountered language like that since grade school. He left a voice message on my phone saying that the parties will continue in the gym despite my warning that he is influencing residents to break the rules with the loud…

@AnnPT77 do you have any comments or thoughts on my situation? I think you are a certified PT ?

If i thought his motivation was to attract more clients, this wouldnt bother me so much. I would understand and respect his need to earn a living. The people at my gym we are talking about have no intention of hiring a PT. They have seen him around for over a year. I’m the only one who asked him to take me on as a client.…

But that’s just it. He is coming to a private residence to train two clients back to back. He arrives when he is supposed to start training the other client for one hour. Then i come and he trains me for one hour. When we are done, he needs to leave the premises, as this is not a Goodlife gym or YMCA. Even if this was just…

Also, it really bugs me when the other client's session is finished and she has left the gym, and he still lingers to use the treadmill. I had taken a 2-week running break recently where we didn't train for 2 weeks, but I was still going to the gym to use the treadmills. I go down and see him there working out. He is…

I don't like the fact that my trainer is buddy-buddy with one of the men too, as the man is someone I don't speak with, for good reason. If I'm jealous, it is not because I have the hots for my trainer. It's more about being uncomfortable with him becoming friends with people who are not friends of mine, when he should be…

I only started weight training 2 months ago so I do feel I need coaching and was planning to commit for at least six months.

It's difficult to give a black and white answer because there are no many dynamics going on. Today, for example, the party atmosphere continued even after I arrived and started my personal training session. My trainer was focusing on me, yes, but the four other residents continued with the dance party in the gym, including…

Thank you!

Someone here said my rice calories are off. I did a google search and found this. Does this look accurate to people? If my rice calories have been over the actual amount all this time, this would be life changing for me. (I updated my diary today to reflect the lower calorie amount and am now on budget.)

Actually @Retroguy2000 @tomcustombuilder said "using drugs to compensate for a poor diet is not healthy or advised." Also, I specifically said in my most recent post that I logged a SAMPLE day today for people's review. I haven't been logging my meals in months. If you want to critique, just look at the SAMPLE day from…

By the way, i just logged a sample day of meals and my diary is public. For those accusing me of eating an unhealthy diet of junk food, please review and tell me which part is junk. My problem is i am constantly hungry and my meals do not satiate my appetite. I always feel like i could eat a little bit more after each…

Thanks for the tip. The thing about protein powder is it doesnt fill me up like a food with volume you can actually chew. Re: soy milk - thats interesting. Do you find it more filling than almond or cow’s milk? I drink almond milk because its so much lower in calories. I dont have a lot of calories to work with.

Thank you for your kind response! I will review the NHS material.

I have and people have commented before. It's easier to say eat more protein than to actually do it. I am not a meat lover like some people. I like carbs. The idea of a giant piece of chicken is sickening to me, but I can easily eat two bowls of rice or 3 pieces of bread. Wegovy is the brand under which Ozempic is marketed…

Yes possibly

Is there science behind that? Lol I work out 6 x a week.

I just didnt realize weight lifting for a woman who just wants to get toned was this heavy/challenging.

I'm also thinking maybe theyve just had liposuction on their inner and outer thighs.

Thanks. I'm dealing with achy soles and heels. I am prone to plantar fasciatis though i havent had it jn years. Have been running four times a week for 7 months and my feet feel tired of the pounding. I use $200 runners from the Running Room. New Balance i think?

Awesome, thank you!

Lol I should have said famished, not ravished. :)

Answers - I am following the advice of a book on weight training for women. - no soreness whatsoever, weird huh? - I am just putting more peanut butter in my Greek yogurt at night. If I am ravished in the day, I may eat an extra egg or an extra piece of toast at lunch. My workouts are at 11:45 am. - Total calories are at…

Thanks so much. I agree there are lots of variables involved. Have a good week!

@AnnPT77 It's interesting you brought up exercise intensity. I try to continually up my jogging intensity because Bob Greene's book says that as your miles per hour increase, your weight will drop. It definitely makes me ravenous though. According to Greene, you jack up your metabolism with each intense aerobic workout, so…

In his book Make the Connection, Bob Greene (Oprah's trainer) says overweight people must learn how to recognize true hunger and eventually - after a period of calorie tracking - start eating mindfully to satisfy their true hunger, rather than count calories forever. When I first followed his program 15 years ago, I lost a…

Are there any digital devices that can take your metabolism measurements throughout the day?

Not sure what that can look like. For example, last night my protein at dinner was Highliner brand halibut fillet. Do you mean I can try having two portions of that and less rice? I feel like it is going to come to the same amount of calories in the end ?? I don't eat mammal meat so my proteins typically involve eggs,…

Hi @AnnPT. Maybe it's BMR then and I just got the term wrong. I am frustrated with how hungry I am on this medication and refuse to believe that my caloric limit is 1600-1800 when I want to keep eating closer to 2,000 calories. I'm wondering if my metabolism has sped up, making me hungrier. Today was a good example. I…
