How’d everyone turn out post-vaccine? How’d your kiddo do? Lots has changed since this thread started and ended.

Yep. I’m back here to lose the weight I gained after following many of the annoying Instagram “body posi” influencers. I woke up to the cancer that is “low expectations” and figured out that everything they said was rooted in their own self-hatred. The whole movement is just a way for people to seek affirmation for the…

I closed the book at the chapter that began with "So, now you're a vegan." I was like...."no." Propaganda. That's all it is.

So far it's the closest thing I've got. There's a bulk option that uses only certain DVDs so that was my plan. Any other DVDs you can suggest?

Thank you! That's very helpful info on how to set my macros.

I do plan to breastfeed, so I will definitely make sure my doctor approves any supplements before I start them. It's actually pretty hard to keep the body fat on while breastfeeding as long as I'm eating low enough calories. The reason I decided this is because I'd hate to lose it, then gain some back to bulk, just so I…

Yes.

Who's*

Why don't you just wear it for an hour during your sedentary time and then multiply that number by 24? I do recommend the FitBit though. I LOVE MINE!

I don't know about others, but it's when I really start getting into my cardio that my congestion clears right up! I think it's something to do with the increased blood flow.

Sure, why not? Anything's better than sitting on the couch.

Spaghetti squash.

+1 for the cross trainers.

Word.

You only have to have a surplus if you want to bulk up. Strength training helps you maintain the current muscle while you're losing weight as long as you're eating plenty of protein, etc... I've gained a couple pounds of muscle in the last year just by eating at a deficit and doing Insanity and T25. (I get a regular body…

I can help. Friend request sent.

I got fat because I had an insatiable appetite for Swiss Cake Rolls. Like, I would down an entire box at least once a week (in one sitting.) I also was too lazy to work out and was in complete denial that eating healthy would not only make me lose weight but feel better, too. (I had GERD and anemia until recently...)

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize this was a forum strictly for nutritionists and personal trainers. Exactly how did YOU learn how to get cut and lean? Because I learned from ****loads of trial and error to get to my fit physique. Experience can certainly trump book knowledge, although book knowledge definitely helped me in…

Yes, protein will increase muscle. More muscle = increased metabolism = more maintenance calories to get to eat, so yes, you can still lose weight while gaining muscle. Just keep staying under your calories. Again, is the number on the scale your end goal? Or is it a certain look you're trying to achieve?

Disclaimer: I'm a BB coach, but don't discount my opinion. I like Shakeo, but I don't think it's for everyone. I only recommend it to people who: A) Hate vegetables or fruits or foods that naturally have the crazy amounts of nutrients that Shakeo has. B) Are already spending an assload on daily vitamins/protein shakes when…

Here's the honest truth: Based on what your'e saying, your husband likes you just the way you are. Or he wants you to stay overweight because maybe it makes him feel better about himself. What do YOU want? If you're unhappy overweight, then you just need to tell him that and that he's not being supportive. If he loves you,…

Yep. Been there. My hubs got a little bummed that I wouldn't be his drinking buddy anymore because booze has too many calories. I agree with others that you shouldn't have to deprive yourself the entire holiday season. Part of making this a lifestyle change is knowing that your new lifestyle entails eating healthy MOST of…

Geez. Give yourself a break. Those freaks on the DVD are fitness PROS. Believe me, you'll totally surprise yourself in 2 weeks on your next fit test.

You'll get better. There are free apps on the market to track your Fit Tests so you can see your results on a graph and keep you motivated. Just keep going. I sucked at first, too. Wanna be friends? I ONLY do workout DVDs.

TTC here. Sending friend request!

It's because you're still you. Just a smaller version of you.

Why, thank you! :) Yep, 10 months difference. The key is clean eating within a caloric deficit, plenty of protein, and daily strength/cardio. Strength training, strength training, strength training! I can't stress this enough. Working out at home is easy. You get to wear just a sports bra and not care who sees you! ;-)

I work out at home. I've done Jillian's 30DS, Ripped in 30, Hip Hop Abs, Insanity, T25, and am starting P90X3 as soon as it releases in December. All of these workouts have calendars to follow, so there's no "arms day" "legs day" etc... It's simply interval training.

Depends on your starting weight.
