Well this is the program I've been doing its basically a copy of the MS dumbbell program I just put it in an app and added a few things because I felt like I wasn't doing enough the 3 days are different I just didn't upload the 3rd day

I'm 5'5 135 I couldn't really say, I just wear what fits I've bought dresses and tops that range from size s to an XL. I don't think you could really ever know what size you wear, everybody is different and all clothes sizes are different.

when you see depends on a lot of thing one being your weight, someone that doesn't have much to lose may not see result as quickly as someone with a lot to lose. Also, everyone is different some people drop weight easier and faster than other. P.S. Accurate calculations of calories or a closely as you can get is…

I'm 24 and5'6 started out at 204, and my original goal weight was 150 I'm currently 131 my new goal weight 125 I want to hover around 125-130

I'm wondering the same thing because I feel like I've been trying to lose my last 10 for months

Hey today I started out good, then just started going downhill, I just tell myself tomorrow is a new day and I WILL do better, just don't give up.

Mine is pretty much gone, I lost 70lbs and I went from a 36C to 30B which kinda doesn't exist, the size doesn't bother me it's the sagging that kinda has me stressed, I don't have kids and I'm still "young". I just try not to focus I what I can't really control it helps a bit, I guess.

Do you follow a program or are you just doing your own thing?

Thanks for the advice, looks like I'm going to have to stick with dumbbells for now.

I know what a squat rack stand is, I just wanted to know if it was really that important particularly for a beginner like myself, I thought it was for lifting very heavy. I guess I will either not do barbell squats or opted out of buying a barbell all together

can I go without the squat rack or use something else that wont take up so much space?

Is this a good barbell to start off with? I want to move on to stronglifts but I've seen a bunch of different barbells I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to be looking for something in particular. https://www.walmart.com/ip/US-Weight-55-lbs-Aerobic-Weight-Set/2171148

No I don't have a mirror I'm going to have someone record me, but where should I look? I always try to keep my head, neck, and back straight I thought I was following the guy in the vid I watched but I guess not.

? This seems like a really good Idea, what kind of rod are you using?

It's basically impossible for me to use a trainer I may have someone film me and try to compare with a how-to vid, thanks for the advice though.

I really only started feeling it when I upped my reps, I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm doing stiff leg deadlifts following muscle and strength dumbbell program for beginners

It's not really bad pain it feels like someone is pushing down on my back when I bend forward, I also feel a pulling in my legs and back if that makes sense.

When I get bloated it lasts a couple of days, even though I've never been tested I'm pretty sure I have a gluten and dairy intolerance, I still eat them both just at a minimum, but I wasn't always like this it seems to start after I lost most of my weight. I just messed around with different food to see what caused to…

Pinterest is your friend when it comes to meal prep and any other recipes just depends on what you're looking for. Here's a link to a blog that grouped together a bunch of recipes, I've tried a few grouping https://www.prudentpennypincher.com/50-best-meal-prep-recipes/

I didn't think about the TDEE , thanks

So I'm getting enough exercise? I use to do 45-60 minute cardio sessions, but when I switched to HIIT I read everywhere that you shouldn't do more than 30 minutes is that not true? Also, with strength training I'm following a program that states the duration of time spent doing the workout should be 30 minutes I usually…

Well I log, weigh, and measure everything, I thought I was generally eating healthy except for my coffee problem. I guess macros do matter but someone was telling me I need more protein so that I don't lose muscle, I guess I'll have focus on that too

I wear a waist trainer when I do my HIIT workouts but only because I like how it keeps everything together, I really want to get some compression gear because I know that will be better but they're kinda expensive. Hopefully, you achieve your goal and I wish you success on your journey!

Because I can't go to the gym and I don't have much space in my home for a lot of equipment I opted for the M&S dumbbell program I would just add more reps every week like you mentioned. However, I've been reading that dumbbells are less effective particularly with squats like you mentioned, and I just want to do what's…

Are dumbbells less effective than the barbell when doing a progressive weightlifting program?
