Agree with the poster above.Raw stevia in protein powder make my stomach rumble all day.Though I can us chocolate flavor from bob red mill,vanilla troubles me with stomach issues. Definitely try sample packs for 2-3 days,increase consumption slowly to make your body used to it(I started with one scoop instead of the two…

This particular yogurt.Pretty regular yogurt eater,haven't had this kind of issues.I consumed the yogurt and powder separately.But today is the first time I had them same day.I was wondering if there was a ingredient others were sensitive too,so that I can avoid products which have them.

Going to try this.I started stretching because my legs were hurting after I started walking for about 3 weeks.I follow the total body cool down from fitness blender,but I am going to pay more attention while doing it.Thank you.

Took a day off today.I follow the fitness blender total cool down video to stretch,but I may not be doing it enough (30 seconds each pose). Don't have access to foam roller,so it is out of question. Any core strength exercises you recommend (YouTube videos etc)?

Yes I haven't been hitting my protein goals of late trying to eat my adjusted deficit.Need to pay more attention.

Don't think so,got my period 2 weeks ago(and the weight fluctuation talked about in these forums are real deal lol)

Don't have access to gym/equipment,but I am trying to do squats/lunges(very low count on alternative days) trying to get started slow.i also do the fitness blender no equipment workouts with warm up and cool down (30 minutes)when I can't go for a walk. I will try drinking water before heading out in the morning and see if…

Lightly active to sedentary for the past few years.I slowly increased my walking distance from June .1220 now 5'4" 71kg with .5kg /week loss.

Mid section and thighs (I am heavy in both areas)

Going to try this.drink more water and sometimes can't hit my protein goal.I do stretch after walking but not always.

I am already eating roughly 20%,maybe I will take a rest day and see how it goes. 1220 cal and eat back exercise calories.

I am 5'4" currently 71kg(down 1 kg from my recalculated weight on MFP),I set for .5kg per week and got 1220 per day.I average about 85-100 cal in exercise and eat them all and for the past few days more than that(about 250 caps more). The soreness is mostly mid-section and thighs(which is where I carry all my extra…

I am at 1220 now(from mid-July),started at 1470.It is getting harder since trying to hit the protein goal as a ovo-lacto vegetarian.But getting there,going over 100 cal(+1220) on most days since i am trying to tweak my meals. Trying cottage cheese,eggs,lentils/beans,protein powder,milk as daily sources.

Join the Facebook groups(there are a number of groups which focus on different diet/food preferences).the instant pot community is the largest group.

I am suspecting hypothyrodism(runs in my family),getting tested in 2 months.Read that Soy products can aggravate it,so trying to stay away.tofu and tempeh were on my list to try too.

going to look into the container of whites.Hubby bought it once,but we really didn't love how it tasted.May be try another brand. I include them both regularly in my diet.The amount i need to eat is a lot if i want to hit my protein goal.I never realized how hard it is to stay within mfp calorie limit and eat required…

No i am not.That's why i eat them hard boiled to eat enough of other foods and stay within mfp set limit.

looks like iam overestimating the gms of protein from eggs

It was difficult for me to understand the position of my arms/hands/wrists.

Thank you,for the other options.I am going to try it a few more times as explained by canadianlbs,else resort to other exercises.

Thank you,i am trying to correct my form by looking into mirror,this helps to understand.

From what i read,going lower than 1200 per day is also not a good choice(including the exercise calories).If you have the time,may be do trial and error.Log the calories for 2-3 weeks and see if you are losing/gaining? Depending on the outcome,you can decide whether to skip them/add them to the log.

I just updated and now i am at 1220 for the day,instead of the 1320 earlier.Thank you.

how often do you update(every new weight ? ), checking in case i was wrong about mine being updated automatically.

I update my weight weekly and after you said so,i went to check in calorie intake.I remember seeing it at 1370,now it's at 1320.But how can i know for sure,to see what my starting calorie intake was?

yes to diary? cottage cheese has 13g protein per 1/2 cup

I used to drink milk tea and occasional coffee,but i stopped both for now (i want to eat my calories and black coffee make my stomach funny)

I would never try to eat/upcycle spoiled fruit(i triple check them at store when buying which drives my husband crazy.In addition to being expensive,for example Strawberries in see through packs at the store here are notorious for white mold). The cherries were a part of excess fruit mid-weekly purchase and weren't sweet…
