Yup! I do a low carb lifestyle. I plateaued for a few weeks and adopted 16:8. Back to dropping 1-2 lb a week. It helped me so much because I was a night time snacker. I do find some days that I don't eat enough because I am actually full.

Thought I would give an update. I kept up with the spin class now down to 2x a week. I slimmed down further but my weight stayed the same pre-baby weight. I changed my diet and have lost 15 lbs since the start of 2019. My body is definitely different then before baby, my hips are much smaller and I attribute that to spin…

Is it for a diet (then no), lifestyle change (then yes). I find keto too restrictive but have great success with lowering my carbs to <100g. That works for me, the weight melted off and easy to still be social with friends. I agree with @ultra_violets that it helped me kick the cravings of things like pasta, potatoes and…

I unsuccessfully tried mixing some things together. Tomato paste (one i use is fairly low in carbs), mustard, soya sauce, spices.. I missed the sweetness and it mostly tasted like mustard. I suggested to my husband next time to try a rub. I did see some with unsweetened apple sauce which interests me. The carbs aren't…

Thank you so much! I didn't know anything about Whole 30. Keto would use sweetners and paleo would be honey so I didn't know what to turn to!

I have a 2-3 finger gap depending who does it. I spoke with my doctor and she just told me it is what it is really. So maybe I should push to see a PT (my benefits require a drs note so i cannot go around talking with my Dr about it again). I did have an unscheduled c-section and didn't make it too far into labour so I…

Oops

First day working a computer apparently

I'm in for the next one. Was gone for the long weekend with no scale. Just starting back on mfp.

OT: I must be old.. what is up with the *kitten* that keeps showing up in posts?

I broke my tibial plateau and had to be none weight bearing for 6 weeks. My calf shrunk.. they looked like boxes with skin fat hanging from. Took we a week of walking and it was back. 14.5 is not bulky anyway. At 130 I had 15 inch, try shopping g for winter boots with those!

Good thought! Didn't think of that.

I started off with mom and baby yoga where essentially mom does yoga and baby lays there. Now I go to spin in the evenings for an hours when my husband gets home. I have a very good 3 month old that is generally content with just laying on a play mat or blanket though, she will sometimes sleep during yoga.

Twins. Same birthday and half way down too. Gained about 40 and have about 20 to lose for ppw. Love to lose the 20 more I gained the year prior to get me back around 130. I'm struggling though. I've started spin class, walk daily and stalled. I count calories sparatically so maybe that is the route I need to head in. I was…

Can anyone send me the TLS bonus report? I could not access on my phone. Maybe I need a computer?

Thought I would check in and say I picked up the thinner, leaner, stronger book. Good read so far, a lot more to it than NROLFW. Once this sickness I've contracted is over and I get to the wetlght parts I will give it a go. It seems to be what I am looking for where the days are split into more body parts, although…

General aesthetic. I like being able to lift heavier and heavier but I feel more accomplished in inches lost vs weights gained on the bar. I'm hoping 3 days a week. Spin doesn't seem to affect me, even when I started back up, nothing was sore the next day except my butt.

Previously I had been lifting on and off for 2 years. It would be largely I would do the NROLFW and get to stage 5 then stop and take a break.. restart. I got bored of the length of time it took (2 hours sometimes) and typically it would take me to summer where I focus more of sports and had less desire to be indoors. Now,…

Sorry if this has been asked. Are any programs body part specific person day. I mean leg day, arm day.. etc. I've done new rules and got to when the workouts were starting to take almost 2 hours. I could do it because I became bored and not enough variety (full body and a day 1/2 program).

I was cleared at the 6 week to do anything. I thought that was a little crazy especially in terms of core work. My core is pretty much non existent from the surgery. When I do spin, it is all legs since I am so weak.

I hear ya. Half was and stalled, jan 29 baby and 20 of the 40 down but would like to get back to 2 years prior weight, an additional 20. Ive startes spinning for the past week. Want to get back into weights but i had a c section so not sure how to go about it.

I'm not very active on here currently but I have been to 2 classes and enjoy it. I am 11 weeks post c section with my first and have about 20 of the 40 lbs to lose. But would further like an additional 20 to get back to my 3 years ago weight I am not tracking food because I am not sure what intake I should have while…

I found while doing NROLFW my grip couldn't keep up with my lifts. Lunges, step ups.. all had to be with a barbell so I could progress. I even find now a bench press I need a spot to get my dumbells in position properly. With stronglifts requiring you to lift heavy and improve constantly I would say that you won't get too…

Depends on your fear level to be honest. I figured it out after a long weekend (from snow plowing to s-turns). From there probably another 3 times to transfer s-turns to carves. Now, years later, I am probably a similar level to going 10 times, because I am still afraid of falling. I find the older you get, the more scared…

I don't have abs, they are under my layer of fat. But I would assume Protein is key. Lots of protein.

Thank you. I never thought about asking their opinion on different diets. Very helpful

I should mention I am lifting heavy, trying to lose some fat. I haven't had issues with strength gain eating at a deficit but my inches aren't melting like I would like them too. I feel there is some muscke there but it is under a stubborn layer or fat. In summer I am very active playing 10 or more games of softball almost…

They suggest modifications of necessary. For push ups they recommend to start at an angle, maybe from a bench, or a bar (as opposed to "girl" push-ups). Lots of ladies start that way. Planks are also challenging for some so they suggest go as long as possible, break, then keep going. You will eventually get there, good…

I know this board was for lifting but does anyone have any cardio suggestions? I am looking into adding some cardio at work over lunch breaks. Maybe something not as intense as Insanity Max 30 but similar. Short, no equipment and a change up. I'll add with the program I am doing now (already mentioned but I am changing to…
