  • Hi there, no the setbacks were just based on how my body was responding to some of the activities we were trying out. I've been working on some similar stabilizing exercises and they definitely make a difference after awhile so hopefully they'll be good steps for progression 🤞

  • Hi there. I am currently dealing with this too- it's so frustrating! I've always been active and in good health, with the majority of my workouts cardio based. In March, I started strength training, and really tightened up my nutrition (which was already very clean). Over the course of the past four months or so, I've lost…

  • To be honest, with my situation I believe there are a few factors at play; 1) rigorous training sessions, 2) BF & weight loss (I went from ~115-117lbs to now 106lbs), 3) STRESS, and admittedly 4) I recognize that I may not always provide my body with adequate rest.

  • Hmm..thanks everyone! I definately trust my trainor, but value what other's insight and thoughts may be as well. This may seem like a silly question, but what do you all recommend for bumping up my calories a bit, but staying within my macros? In plain sight this seems simple, but I feel like it's becoming a balancing act.

  • Thanks for the reply! I struggled with amenorrhea previously in my early teens as well, though at that point it was certainly not exercise related. For years (like 13 years!) I was put on/taken off of birth control before my system was regulated again. The past few recent years have finally been okay, so it's just…
