Congratulations on working through 80 day obsession. I’ve been using BOD for a few years. I’ve previously done 80 day obsession. I just finished 9 week control freak. I’m currently on my first week of MBFa.

Ditto for me

I’m sorry to hear you are on medication. I hope everything works out for you. Take care

Yes! I haven’t had another problem with syncing.

I finished 9wcf. I’ve started MBF. I did say 11 today.

Not very active. I check the discussion group periodically.

I use FitOn and BeachBodyOnDemand. I like BOD because every program has a Calendar to follow.

Any movement is movement. I’m a fidgety person and find it difficult to sit still. Things I do at work: - sit - stand desk - I stand for half of the day - Calf raises - Desk push ups - Seated stretches. - Take the stairs

I use FitOn (it is free with an optional pro version) and BeachBodyOnDemand (BOD. It is $120/year). I got a Fitbit last Christmas and have tried some of their workouts. My favourite is BOD — each of their programs has a calendar that you follow. This reduces the amount of thinking required.

Those darn last 5 pounds! This is going to sound crazy, but this is what ‘worked’ for me — essentially I play a mind game with myself and lower my goal weight. Then I have 15 pounds to lose and somehow the ‘real’ last 5 pounds are easier to lose. I also find that weight naturally fluctuates. So, overshooting by a few…

So long as you log consistently, then I don’t think it really matters. So, if you consider your “day” from 7am to 7am, then log midnight to 7 am as “today”. If you consider your “day” as midnight to midnight, then log it as “the next day”.

I use this bf% calculator. https://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/body-fat-percentage-calculator/ It uses measurements, age and weight. It calculates using four different formulas. I have a scale that also calculates bf%. Then I average the 5 to get my best estimate. You need to be aware that bf% calculators are based on…

Just talk with him.

I don’t fast, but I have been eating my breakfast later and avoiding an after dinner snack. Some people would call this intermittent fasting (15-9). I started eating breakfast later because I wasn’t feeling hungry in the morning. I was talking with a work colleague earlier this week who fasts for 5 days a month. Both he…

Just log it and move on. Personally, I don’t believe in the concept of a cheat day. Who or what is being cheated? This is a lifestyle and sometimes, as part of living life, we eat items that we don’t eat everyday — and that is 100% fine. It is just part of life.

Hip dips are normal. https://www.healthline.com/health/fitness/hip-dips-exercises https://www.womenshealthmag.com/uk/fitness/strength-training/a26141012/hip-dips/ https://images.app.goo.gl/gh7BnVB6R8A748VG8

Try it. Log it. Track how you feel. If it works for you, great! If it doesn’t work for you, then try something else.

I use Beachbody on demand and FitOn.

You have some major challenges. Congratulations on making the first step of logging into MFP. My thoughts: 1) weight loss is the result of caloric deficit. You don’t need exercise to achieve weight loss 2) exercise strengthens and builds muscles. 3) seated / very low impact exercise suggestions : - resistance bands or…

Mimi Mimi : You weight, height and measurements seem perfect to me. I’m 5’5” and weigh 135lbs and most of my measurements are bigger than yours. I’m similar to you in that I have a smaller upper body and a larger lower body. Tip from another small chested woman — wear a padded bra to make your chest look bigger. This way…

I workout first thing in the morning fasted. I’ve tried eating a small snack or breakfast before exercising and it upsets my stomach. So, that doesn’t work for me. I eat breakfast around 9:30 or 10. I’ve been slowly moving my breakfast later and later. I’ve been moving my breakfast later over the past 4-5 months.

Depends on your goals. https://www.healthline.com/health/exercise-fitness/hypertrophy-vs-strength increase muscle size —> hypertrophy training —> lighter weight and higher reps and sets increase muscle strength —> strength training —> heavier weight and fewer reps. For beginners and the average person ( I put myself in…

I agree with Anne’s first response.

Do you have loops or bands? Either way, incredibly versatile. I take them on vacation with me. In a nutshell, pretty near any exercise you’d do with dumb bells, you can do with resistance loops or bands. I find for certain exercises they are more effective than any other equipment because they have constant resistance.

I like the schedules on BOD. It makes it easy and they structure the programs together in a certain way with purpose. If you don’t like a program or are getting bored, then start a different one. Also, BOD has many ‘real time’ programs now. In these programs every workout is unique. Programs that are like this include: MBF…

Thank you

I eat four times a day. Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner. Nothing wrong with that routine. Just plan for it and log it. If it fits in your calories and your macros, then why not eat it? For my afternoon snack, I typically have a protein shake.

You’ve come to the right place! We are all here to help motivate you and keep you going. I have three items for you: 1) Try a mindset change — you are not on a diet. You are embarking on a sustainable lifestyle change that will allow you to live your best life. Start with one small sustainable change. Then add another,…

I have a colleague who swears by IF. I’ve been slowly moving my breakfast later and my lunch later. But I’m still having afternoon snack and dinner. The longest ‘fast’ I’ve done is 15 hours from 7pm to 10am. I’m eating the same amount, just over less time. I’m finding I’m not hungry in the morning. I feel good.
