@shroodle88 Do you mind sharing what stretches you do? I’m always looking for more! My hips are soo tight.

I just discovered Senita Athletics! They’re the best ever... truly squat proof, beautiful styles, only $30-40, and their customer service is so helpful. Seriously, I messaged them on Facebook, told them my inseam (aka short) and they helped me pick some out. Oh and 90 degree by reflex are good too, but fair warning, I am…

You could use your phone or laptop to do some videos on YouTube. FitnessBlender or Popsugar have good ones, just make sure it is a body weight exercise. If you want to do an actual program, here are a few. Look them up and see which one strikes your fancy: - You are your own gym - Convict Conditioning - Nerd Fitness…

YES!! One of my biggest pet peeves! Anytime I would go to VS and they were out of a bra in 32DD, they would try to shove a 34D on me. Listen, guys, 32 barely fit me on the tightest hook as it was, a 34! HAH! You think boobs hold themselves up?! They need proper support and it should come from the band not the straps!!!…

@rianneonamission Are there any videos/youtubers you recommend for Pilates? PS I do a double take every time I read your username because my name is Brianne.

No, I try not to. I know that any moves where my back bends too much and/or the small of my back is not supported, hurts it. Such as sit ups, leg lifts, bicycles, etc. I can do true crunches (where only shoulders come off the floor, and the small of my back stay glued to it) without too much trouble, as long as I don’t…

Check your vitamin D levels! I live in the cold, dark, and cloudy Midwest and discovered that my vitamin D levels were dangerously low ... seriously have never had so little energy!! In addition to getting a blood panel, let’s look at your food a bit. You said you are consuming 1,700 calories - what are your stats (height,…

I don’t think they necessarily think about food differently. Eating disorders can happen at any size; “big” or “small” people can both have unhealthy relationships with food. Likewise they can both have healthy relationships with food. I am naturally thin. I have always had a narrow build and been on the low end of the BMI…

At 5’10”, there’s no way you should be doing 1200! It would definitely be below your BMR which typically should be the lowest limit. I’m glad you recognized that. I couldn’t even do 1200 and I’m 5’3” LOL.

Good idea, thanks! I thought of massage therapists (prenatal massages) and chiropractors, but PT would be a good addition!

Thanks!

Some great ideas on their site! Thank you!

Seems like you’re into crime type stuff - so hands down, My Favorite Murder! The ladies are hilarious (while also being respectful to victims, which is a tough line to walk) and the community of fans is incredible. I actually just went to one of their live shows last week and it blew my mind! I have also heard that Last…

No it’s not. That would be a steep deficit even if you weren’t breastfeeding, anyways. Consult a doctor.

The cause of bloating often varies from person to person. In some people it might be grains, while in others it might be dairy or too many vegetables. It might take you a little trial and error to pinpoint it. In the meantime, I have found that ginger (supplements or tea) helps me a little. It might not work for you, but…

BTW with option #2 - calculate activity TDEE AND eat back exercise calories - you are doubling up. Option #1 or #3 are your only real options, and I prefer #1. I find it to be more accurate, plus you get to eat “extra” calories when you workout, versus a flat rate each day. Using the activity level TDEE is really only…
-
For me, I think the most accurate is to calculate my TDEE for sedentary (desk job) and aim to “net” that amount. I calculate my exercise manually and eat back those calories, because let’s be honest ... even though sure, I usually exercise 1-3 times per week, that calorie burn can vary DRASTICALLY if I go 1 vs 3 days and…

I am not middle aged, however I will say that the only thing that helped my sugar cravings was just NOT having junk in the house - because if it’s there, I can’t resist. Also, have your friend or spouse keep you accountable when eating out. Now that I having been eating healthier for some time, sweet treats seem TOO sweet…

In addition to RLS, I encourage you to also look up POTS syndrome. My mom has it and it took her forever to get diagnosed, so now I always throw it out for people. I can’t really tell from your description, but it might be worth trying compression stockings if blood tends to pool in your feet and make you lightheaded.…

I didn’t have much weight to lose, but it definitely came from my upper body first. Only 17 lbs, but I started at a 32DD, and now I am a 28DD - aka literally impossible to find a bra anywhere :s Pretty bummed because while I still have that DD tagline, a 28DD is actually pretty small. I used to really like my breasts. But,…

On nights where you can cook, double the recipe so you have leftovers!

I don’t have experience with ED so take my words with a grain of salt. Slow and steady wins the race. It is better to take a little longer to get to your goal then to try to go fast, and trigger your ED. Specifically I note your use of the words “depriving yourself.” You SHOULD NOT be depriving yourself. A rate of 0.5-1.0…

@SmithsonianEmpress Apparently there are apps for tracking/reminding to drink water! This one looks good - it counts other drinks like coffee and you can set reminders too.
