  • Hi all, For me, increasing muscle mass and cardio has been helpful for mitigating against “belly roll”. I had to stop exercise for a few months and oh-boy, I’ve got quite the jelly-roll. 😝 As for hot flashes, eliminating dairy has done the trick for me. If I have milk, ice-cream, yogurt, cream, most cheeses, etc. I have…

  • Hi SarahintheLou, I do a very light workout or just walk on IF days. There is NO way I could do a high intensity workout and not eat within an hour of completing the workout. I would have no arms left 🤣 Could you do 16:8 on your “off days from bootcamp”? Here’s an article that might help.…

Next 3 weeks - (4 seems too long and 2 is not enough) - so 3 weeks: a) Stick to Calorie goals b) More Water c) Exercise Goals (that’s easy) d) Don’t step on scales, but measure in the am For some reason watching the scales trips me up - more emotional response. If wt is down - 🥳 🎉🥂 - I’m not…
