Another option for you: BOD has a sample workout for most programs that are free. Try a couple of those before you commit to a membership. For the past month or two I’ve only been doing fiton workouts. On Monday this week, I started bod MBF (muscle burns fat) program again. I’ve done it before. I really like this program…

I’ve been using fiton. It doesn’t sync with mfp. Or at least the last time I tried it didn’t.

Yes and yes. Just read and follow the instructions, it’s not that hard. One item to note — the Fitbit exercises don’t import directly into mfp. Rather, Fitbit send to mfp total calories burned for the day. Then mfp calculates a calorie exercise adjustment.

I have used Beachbody on demand for a about five years. I like the calendars. It takes the guess work out of choosing a workout. I also like that each workout has multiple participants and most have a modifier. What I don’t like about BoD is they are constantly pushing shakeology. The annual cost has gone up and two years…

Keep up the good work!

Slow and steady wins the race. Although, this isn’t a race because there really isn’t a finish line. This is a lifestyle. 900 calories a day is too low for most people. I’d go with 1200 calories a day and then see how it goes and adjust. Anything less than 1200 calories a day, you should speak with your doctor.

I think how you stop eating whoppers depends on the reason you want to stop. Ideas I have: - keep a healthy snack in your vehicle. Then when you feel that ‘pull’, you’ll have a healthy choice even more easily available. - write your goal down and put it in a visible place, so you see it when you are about to pull into a…

Just you can put your mind to it doesn't always mean you can achieve it physically. Again, injuries happen with those who lift more than they are capable of even when they think they can lift it.

There is no magic pill or one tip that will change you. You need to put yourself first. Decide for yourself what road you want to be on. Then work to keep yourself on that road. The road has hills, curves, roadblocks, and speed bumps. You address those one at a time and keep moving on your road.

I can think of two fitness items that everyone agrees: 1) Breathing is important. 2) water is important.

GreySteel https://www.greysteel.org/ says — Yes, people of all ages, especially those of us past 50 should deadlift heavy. Personally — No one ‘needs’ to do anything. Everyone should and can do whatever they put their mind to. I do RDL with dumbbells at home. My max weight is 30lbs in each hand because that’s the biggest…

Start slowly. No matter what you do, you are likely to have some amount of doms ( delayed onset muscle soreness). The best remedy for doms is to exercise again the next day. After a week or so, it will settle down.

For me the setting is in goals. I use these steps: - from the dashboard Home Screen click the 3 dots for ‘more’ - Then click ‘goals’ - Scroll to the bottom there is an item called something like ‘exercise use calorie adjustment’ —> click that and turn it off. Good luck.

I agree with Chef_Barbell. Having said that, if you are not happy with the progress you are making with your current routine, then change your routine. Another way to work your back is with plank holds. Switch out your rows for plank holds for a couple of months, then evaluate from there. I also recommend pictures and…

I agree with Lietchi. You are active enough. Food — track what you eat.

I haven’t done it. But I read an article about it that suggested moving to OMAD gradually. Eg., if today your eating window is 12 hours, then cut that to 10 hours. Then after a couple of weeks cut that to 9 hours, then reduce by another hour every week or two. Until you get to a 1 hour eating window. I don’t think I could…

You know what you need to do. You can do it! My thoughts for you: Start with 1) throw away the ‘crap’ (your word; not mine) 2) stop buying the ‘crap’ Then see how things go. Making too many changes all at once may be too challenging and not sustainable. After a month or so, make another change like increase vegetable…

I put other but perhaps should have put CICO. I focus on making healthy choices of food 80-90% of the time. I have a standard breakfast I eat that has no added sugar and is one third each carbs, protein and fat. I have a typical lunch if salad with hummus and pumpkin seeds. I often have an afternoon snack that varies from…

There is no magic to this: We lose weight in the kitchen and what we put in our mouth. We gain strength and muscle with exercise. Eat fewer calories than you burn consistently over days, weeks and months and you will lose weight. Track what you eat. Discipline will lead to freedom.

I agree with all of the above. If you are choosing to not eat sugar then I have these other alternatives: Water with fruit or vegetables added, such as: cucumber, lemon or strawberries. Rooibos tea has a sweetness without calories. Tea with cinnamon or clove or allspice. Also give a sweetness with no calories. Patience is…

100% agree! I exercise for stress relief and for overall health. I do not exercise for losing weight. To lose weight you need to be at a caloric deficit.

Find something else to do with you pr hands. Something that is messy that doesn’t go well with food. Ideas: Brushing your dog/cat Cleaning Do a puzzle Take up knitting Start an indoor herb garden If you still find yourself wanting something, try drinking water. Still want something, then make a healthy choice, raw veggies,…

As often as you like. Eggs are not bad for you. They are a good source of protein and fat. So long as you track them and stay in your calorie intake, you should be fine.

You do you. You are the only one who knows what will work for you. If those goals and rewards motivate you, then try it. If it doesn’t work, hen try something else. Good luck

Your arms look completely fine to me. If you want to add more muscle definition then I suggest building shoulder and arm exercises such as: Plank Tricep kickback Tricep push-up Lateral raise Good luck

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.
