fitnessblender is nice, I like that you can filter by type/difficulty/length/equipment etc if you go to their website... I also use popsugar, hasfit, sydney cummings, madfit etc, and yoga with adriene on some of my "off" days

I've been mostly following fitnessblender and popsugar lately (others too, but mainly these 2)... the one issue with some of the popsugar stuff is they can be a bit too... "omg yay, you're crushing it" for me in some of their videos, depending on the trainer. I do enjoy the workouts themselves tho

my day

there's this video with her that's 30 min, it's a bit different tho (dumbbells) vs the 40something-60 min ones https://youtu.be/QsiImYTLvTk

I've done this one a couple of times before, I find it reasonably fun/decent difficulty (for me personally), I do like most of the stuff they have with this trainer (also done her other 40-60min long stuff)

I eat back about 3/4 of them, over time I've discovered mfp estimates are close to accurate for me (sedentary but work out 6 days a week), and if I don't I feel really sluggish and don't have my normal energy and strength when doing my workouts... + if I didn't eat at least some of it back I'd end up with a net of maybe…

had a rest day yesterday (went for a walk), my upper body is still kinda sore from the workout 2 days ago so stuck to mostly lower body focused stuff today - was a bit restless so threw in that pilates thing later in the day

I've been feeling pretty restless lately tbh, the yoga thing was more of a "quick bit of movement before I go to bed so I'm not as sore/stiff" tho hah I also like to walk but the weather hasn't been good (and looks like another week of rain coming up) :(

I also agree with others, I'd take a break. In fact I just spent the past 3 months maintaining because I was also feeling kinda tired (I'm technically normal weight but about 10lbs away from goal). I've been increasing my activity level and enjoying the bigger calorie allowance, and I'm now trying to slowly dip back into a…

Fwiw if I remember right I was eating in the 1600-1700 range in month 2 of Insanity, if I dropped it any lower I felt sluggish (numbers/results suggest this put me at net 1200-1300kcal), I was 5'2-5'3 and in the mid 120s at the time. Month 2 workouts are longer and harder than month 1 and I'd really suggest making sure you…

I've completed Insanity 2x in the past, I saw very little in terms of weight loss in the first month, but my body shape visibly changed in month 2 and I had a mini woosh after the recovery week. Is that 1200 net? I found it a bit hard to stick to it and keep up with Insanity and daily life and had to bump it up a tiny bit…

I was supposed to go on a hike today but the weather was worse than forecast so... this was my workout today

we're supposed to go for a hike tomorrow so I figured I'd do the easier/no impact stuff today so I'm not hobbling around in the hills from being sore/tired

this is my past 3 days, + a 5km walk yesterday sunday monday today

I make my own pizza and I'll buy a single portion lasagna occasionally (it's 560-650kcal depending on the type I get), by occasionally I mean probably weekly or so? I still eat ice cream maybe 2-3x a week, I buy those cornetto thingies that are roughly 180-200kcal per serving because it's easy/simple. But basically I treat…

this is since july last year - I admittedly don't weigh suuuper often (I used to get too stuck on numbers so it's healthier for me to do it every few weeks)

I enjoy walking. I like to move regularly so I don't slouch or feel stiff. I (or most people) don't feel the need to keep going for hours and hours though! I'll go for a walk a few times per week, maybe 7-15k steps, then do 30-60min of cardio or weight training or occasionally yoga if it's an "off" day, I'm active every…

ok this is gonna be so "what is she even talking about" but I feel like I've finally managed to shape/round out my shoulders a bit through exercise past 2 months... and I know it's probably not noticeable to anyone but me but... (same weight both photos, march on the left, may on the right)

I've been maintaining, I started working out more and upped my intake around the time everything got shut down, now planning to drop it down again to lose those last 5-10lbs (I'm a short woman in the normal BMI range so not expecting fast results)

Apart from potential logging issues - it could also be some bloating/water retention from the new exercise or that time of the month, tbh. It's only been 2 weeks, it sounds a bit early to judge, especially if you've made a lot of changes in your activity level (I know if I start a new/intense workout routine my weight…

breakfast: rye bread with peanut butter and a big glass of goats milk lunch: one chicken thigh, some asparagus, sweet potato, and some mixed veggies snack: 2 apricots dinner: mixed frozen berries and plain low fat greek yogurt with some chia seeds mixed in

I seem to end up eating 40 something % carb , around 30% fat and the rest protein (most days anyway) - this is with me only focusing on kcal not the macros (seems to be how I end up eating if I eat whatever I want?), 90% of the time I'm well above the minimum fibre too... I don't cook with oils much but I get a decent…

I only added it in within the past 2-3 weeks, yeah! I'd been doing some bodyweight stuff before, but the rest is new, definitely

I might just try and stick to a bigger (well. bigger relative to my goals, not like... insane for someone with my stats) deficit on the days when I go for a walk/do yoga vs the days where I spend an hour+ jumping around like a maniac hah. Yeah the mental/emotional aspect of it was a big reason why I decided to try and…

Personally I love fruit (like berries) with plain low fat greek yogurt (either blended or just mixed together) or low fat cottage cheese, smoothies can be nice but unless you're adding a source of protein to the fruit and veggies then yeah, they're gonna be adding mostly carbs (obviously also fibre, vitamins and minerals…
