People sometimes don't eat *all* of it back because mfp/trackers *can* be inaccurate in the sense of overestimating exercise calories. Or they have enough wiggle room in their daily deficit/calories to still have a safe weight loss rate if they ignore them. That's not the case for everyone tho, for some of us it's pretty…

went for a relatively short hike in the hills (short because my mom joined and she's had hip replacement and back problems). was still a nice walk tho

I'd let the ankle rest today - I sometimes work out when sore but I can usually tell when it's a normal kind of sore or "oh this joint/area doesn't feel right" so I base my decision on that... what about doing some upper body workouts if you really feel too restless? I did one last night, with a pair of dumbbells, that…

not sure if super visible but... same weight, 2 months apart

I started working out again earlier this year after months of being *really really* sedentary... I started with really easy low impact workouts I found on youtube that I could do in my living room (for example, fitnessblender has a decent amount of stuff that's pretty beginner friendly), and then I slowly added in…

For sure, I use fitness blender a lot (I can get annoyed with overly entusiastic trainers hah and I like that they don't use their own music), but popsugar fitness has some nice stuff too. There's also hasfit, sydney cummings, madfit etc

i had plans for more fitness blender but my internet was dead so I ended up combining levels 1 & 2 of my old 30 day shred dvds.. weights tomorrow tho, I think :)

I find that finding a type of exercise that you just find more interesting helps a lot, it doesn't have to be the most intense or the most popular thing - for example, I couldn't stand running or team sports as a kid and I still have 0 interest/motivation to even attempt them... but I've found that I enjoy going for walks…

yoga, walks, easy low impact stuff. I find that it helps a lot with stiffness/soreness if I do something easy for 30-40 minutes vs not doing anything, but I definitely keep it low impact

Pain! I was at my heaviest around... age 18? My feet hurt so much, it was this horrible almost burning pain whenever I had to spend more than maybe an hour on my feet (probably not helped by my choice in shoes). I am now 30, 30something kg lighter, and I pretty much never get that anymore, unless I literally spend the…

peaches and watermelon and tomato/onion/green pepper salads with vinegar and a bit of pumpkin seed oil

I took a risk and decided on my own to supplement iron 2 years ago (after having several months of super heavy periods followed by a period that lasted TWO MONTHS), and it seemed to get rid of my bruising, lack of energy, and weird food cravings... to this day I still take an iron supplement 2-3x a week and occasionally a…

I'd love to get my lower stomach fixed.. there's a big pocket of fat that does NOT go away even if I hit bordeline underweight for my height (been there, done that), tho I suspect it's mostly loose skin vs just plain fat. It legit hurts when I work out unless I wear super tight clothes and I've had my skin/the fold under…

ok, anything I'm gonna say is personal experience only (short 30 yo woman with PCOS here): I don't think there's a "set point" as such, but I've found there's certain weight ranges I find easier to maintain (and harder to get out of) than others - for me it's two points - slightly overweight around BMI 26.5, and then…

in terms of weight loss? eh, idk, my personal experience : last year I went through a month or two of drinking too much/eating almost nothing but junk after a very traumatic breakup and lost quite a bit of weight for someone with my stats (was still tracking and trying to eat *something* and thought I was eating above…

Hey, that's still a decent rate of weightloss! But - if your numbers aren't adding up I'd first double check your logging (make sure you're weighing everything and that the entries you're using are the correct ones), and then paying attention to your exercise calories - those can be overestimated by fitness trackers/mfp…

I started with the very basic low impact bodyweight workouts, I did do it in front of a mirror at first to check that it looked "right", then I got myself some resistance bands and adjustable dumbbells. I still don't necessarily "look" toned, but I feel much better than I did before. I'm 30 but I have some hypermobility…

Working out is nice but losing weight is about burning more calories than you eat, and that can be achieved with no exercise at all (obviously there's other benefits to working out but - still). If time is tight why not try and drop it to one workout a day or work out every other day and/or then play with your calories…

the person followed it up with "I think 60 is too high to be average weight" and something along the lines that my weight would be ideal if I was 168-169cm... I tried to say I fall well within "normal" on the weight charts but I think maybe I just look bigger in person? It didn't come across as thinking... just kinda threw…

some people on mfp eat all of them back, some eat only part (machines/mfp can overestimate your calorie burn - but this is something you can't really know for sure for you personally unless you track your numbers for a while), the issue with not eating back any calories is that it could create a deficit that's too…

If you're feeling bloated that could easily explain it! Heck, I'm in the high 120s and I've seen my weight spike as much as 5lbs practically overnight if my digestion was slow or I had a large salty meal, or even just randomly sometimes! Just keep an eye on it over time and don't worry about fluctuations, they're perfectly…

how long has it been? fluctuating up and down a few lbs is pretty normal even without periods, if it hasn't been long it could be something salty you ate, a new/more intense workout routine, slower digestion, or just random.
