  • Inspiring, looking forward to seeing the 10 million post! Personally I've been using the FitBod app to track my lifts this year so thought I'd check if it also tracks total weight moved. It does, I'm at just over 3 million. Definitely motivating to see that it's possible to do 3 times as much.
  • Sorry I was busy with Canadian Thanksgiving travel yesterday. Here's how I'm looking: PW (Previous Weight): 210 CW (Current Weight): 208.8
  • Weigh In Day: I don't remember when I first added my weight so I'll go with Oct 1, and every Saturday from here. PW (Previous Weight): 210.9 CW (Current Weight): 210 Over the past year I've switched from 100% cardio to 100% weight training. It'd probably be wise to find a balance.
  • Thanks, think I’ll back down slightly to make sure my bracing is on point before going heavier.
  • Try doing push ups on stairs. Your upper body on a higher stair and feet on the landing below and then as you get stronger move down a step until your eventually able to do a full push up on the ground again.
  • Thanks! It's all down to snack choices now. Meal planning is something I learned last year and that hasn't changed. See you all in the Oct chat.
  • Thanks! Happy to join the group. About me, I started with MFP a long time ago but didn’t actually take it seriously until January 2023. I was 276 lbs at the time. I’m down to 208ish now but I’m around 20 lbs gained this year so trying to eat a bit healthier going forward. Looks like we start fresh tomorrow for October?
  • Hi all, I'd love to join in on this. I've gained 20ish pounds since MFP removed the social aspects of the main page so it'd be great to share the ups and downs with others again. Username: drv123 Weigh in day: Saturday Current weight: 209.3 Starting weight: 276 Any team is totally fine.
  • Yeah no point renewing premium if the feed is gone. If I’m no longer seeing my friends accomplishments when loading up the app there’s no reason not to look at other apps to see what they have to offer.
  • Thanks! I did them in that order because I have no idea what I'm doing! So far I've liked doing the compound exercises at the end as a way to wrap things up and burn off any energy I have left. On the days I've done it the correct way I can definitely lift/push more weight on the compound movements because I'm still fresh…
  • Sunday: Chest, tricep and shoulder 5 sets cable crossover fly 4 set cable rope tricep extensions 3 set cable lateral raise 4 set machine fly 3 set assisted dip 4 set shoulder press 4 tired sets of bench press Monday: Some curls at home but otherwise a rest day, my legs were still sore from Saturday. Today: ran on the…
  • Leg day today, along with back because I neglected to do anything back related for the week and 4 sets of hanging leg raises because the gym got some new equipment and I wanted to try it out. 7 minute jog and some stretching to warm up 4 sets dumbell lunge 4 set seated leg curls 3 sets cable row to give my legs a break…
  • An update on the little strength training experiment above: down a half pound over pre workout weight from yesterday. Ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things with weight fluctuating due to all kinds of things but there we are! Today’s exercise will be either a run on the treadmill or time on the stair stepper…
  • I saw this post last night and figured since I had planned a strength session this morning and I usually do morning stuff fasted it'd be a good test. I'm assuming any change on the scale is sweat/exhaled but since I wasn't planning on too much cardio it'd be interesting either way. This morning was: 9 minute warm up jog 3…
  • I’d been getting burnt out on cardio so I’ve been avoiding it for a bit but was really feeling like running this morning. Hill sprint program on the treadmill for 20 minutes. Not particularly fast or steep but still a good time. Bench press Cable rows Leg curls My 13 year old has started asking about the gym so looking…
  • no pull ups today, not even as a treat. tricep dips lateral raises cable crossover fly rope tricep extensions shoulder press some curls bench press squats
  • The same thing was happening to me. I just started reducing cardio to a quick 5 or 10 min warmup followed by weights and my appetite has been much more under control.
  • Thanks, I haven’t tried since but it was cool just being able to do one. I gave myself golfers elbow a few weeks ago so not trying to overdo it with pulling exercises. Today was 23 minutes on the stair climber then some cable rows (light weight due to the elbows) and squats in the smith machine.
  • The sprints and squats yesterday left my legs feeling nice and stiff so today was just a 15 min jog followed by tricep dips, cable rows, curls and a bit of incline bench press.
  • I've been getting bored with 20-25 min of running followed by 30ish minutes of throwing weights around so today it was 40 min of sprinting fairly quickly for 30 seconds followed by walking for a minute and repeat. Then some squats, lateral raises, machine flys and tricep extensions. Oh also I managed to do my first pull…
  • I use the Fitbod app personally. It's not free but there is a trial so you can see if it's for you. I know this doesn't exactly match what you're looking for but maybe you'll like the way it's structured in trying it out enough to look for a sale. Fitbod can be used for cardio and strength training, and since you said you…
  • Fitbod integration would be amazing! It’s so annoying having to manually add things in to mfp after a work out.
  • Just got back from the gym and I’m happy to report it seemed as busy towards 6am as it has ever been. Hope everyone is able to stick with it!
  • Hi everyone feel free to add me! I’ve been losing for almost exactly a year, this site is a great tool. My diary is open as well, looking forward to getting meal ideas from others.
  • It’s ok after reloading the app it worked. It’s just an advertisement so I’m not too worried about missing it.
  • I had the day off today so got to go to the gym with my wife which was a nice change. Our work schedules are usually out of wack. 13 min jog on the treadmill 4x 8 cable tricep extensions 4x 8 EZbar curls 4x8 machine fly 3x6 overhead kettleball squat 3x 9 medicine ball russian twist
  • Makes total sense, thanks for that.
  • Treadmill jog - 16 minutes, 1.27 miles 5x8 glute kickback machine 3x9 dumbbell row 4x8 dumbbell shrug 5x8 dumbbell incline bench press 4x10 machine fly 6x8 squat (light weight) 3x12 ab crunch Got home and my wife told me she wants me to come with her to the gym later today so I guess I'll have another very light jog later…
  • Yesterday: 18 minutes jogging on the treadmill 5x 8 reps leg extension 3 x 10 reps barbell curl 4x 6 reps leg press 4x 10 rep tricep extensions Today: Taking a break unless I get bored
  • Just joined a gym a few weeks ago and having fun figuring it all out. Here was the day today, focus on my core but enjoy running so added the treadmill in. 13 min treadmill around 5mph Ab crunch 4x10 Machine bicep curl 5x8 Lat pulldown 4x9 Cable upright row 4x8 Machine bench press 4x6 Cable row 6x5 Cable rope tricep…
