Fitnotes is my personal preference.

Awesome, congrats!

I usually menu plan dinners for the week so this is just taking it one step further. So far so good.

Thank you. I've been pre-logging this week and it's been helping.

I did not meet my weight loss goal. I did lose about 1.5 pounds over the month of July and I guess that's just going to have to be ok. I'm going to take it as a win considering in June I was on a weight gain track. My goal is still to drop about 5 more pounds bringing me to 120lbs and then I want to maintain from there.…

Mine is in the 50-60's and in the 40's when I'm sleeping. Before I adopted a fit and healthy lifestyle my resting HR was in the 80's.

Another vote for a physical therapist. I'm currently seeing one for my back and there are quite a few exercises I'm not supposed to do right now.

Sometimes I would stress over my homemade meals and trying to accurately log them as well. I believe that people can achieve their nutrition goals with mindfulness, it just takes practice and persistence. I would much rather be able to mindfully eat then to count all the calories.

I respect your opinion but we will have to agree to disagree. When I lost weight over three years ago I did it mostly with portion control and then I started calorie counting and would often restrict myself too much. I'm not missing the point it was a mental thing that I couldn't get out of. I drink most of my coffee black…

Yes, thank you. I think the small sweet needs to be reevaluated. Something with a sugar substitute could work. I'm trying to work on being mindful of my portions but I'm definitely not perfect. I do weigh my food especially if it something calorie dense like peanut butter. But I don't weigh vegetables. I love baking so…

Sometimes with logging I go overboard and then restrict too much. I'm trying to avoid it if I can but I'll go there if I need to.

Sounds interesting. I hope you post your workouts, I'd love to see how they are structured.

What program are you going to do?

My weight hasn't budged yet. But at least it didn't go up. I'm going to move to twice a week weigh ins. I'm going to keep eating the way I have been for this next week and if my weight still hasn't dropped then I will start a calorie count. Weight checkpoints: 7/1: 126.4 lbs 7/8: 126.4 lbs 7/15: 7/22: 7/29: *Goal is to…

This is a great place to start.

Laundry is the worst and never seems to be caught up, ugh.

I feel you, I have recurring back issues. I went to an identified orthopedic doctor last week and started physical therapy this week. Hopefully it will help. I hope your back feels better soon.

I feel like I've been all over the place for the last year! I hope you give yourself some love and know that it's ok to not know exactly where to go next. Just keep moving!

You gotta with what you have, good luck with it!

Do you have a bath tub? That would be a good transition from the couch to the floor.

I don't think continuing to cut weight will help you right now. You can try a recomp or a bulk, up to you. I'm more a fan of recomp because gaining weight is hard for me mentally.

Are you following the push up progressions? You can start at an incline to make them easier and to ensure your are using correct form.

I love Reddit's bodyweightfitness subreddit and their recommended routine. It's very balanced and you will definitely gain strength. I find most of the people that part on the subreddit to be supportive and helpful as well.

I fractured my foot in April and focused on upper body workouts that I could do while seated. I also did lower body pilates movements that had me on the ground so I didn't bear weight on my foot, I got some booty bands to provide some resistance with these moves.

I try to have a 5 pound range that allows for normal weight fluctuations.

I love salmon patties. Bonus that they are protein loaded.

I like to make a Kodiak pancake with an egg mixed in. Omelettes. Cottage cheese and fruit. I also make oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder mixed in.

Ummm, it's taco Thursday over here.

I'm in for a weekly weigh in. July goal is to drop 5 pounds. Overall goal is to get back to my old maintainence range of 115-118lbs. 7/1: 126.4lbs

Mine was never high but regular exercise and losing a few pounds did drop my cholesterol numbers. My husband has high cholesterol no matter what, even with weight loss. However it is lower after losing weight but still considered high.
