Maybe you're allergic to something you eat. Nuts is pretty common. My aunt has reactions with nuts and chocolate. Stress can result in hives as can medication. I break out in hives with certain meds. Have you been to a doctor?

Did my first ever deadlift on Tuesday.

Agree about having to buy clothes. Ugh esp underwear! I had bought some only for them to feel loose within like a month. Energy is good. I'm getting stronger and liked how I looked when I went wedding dress shopping. I was hoping I would be able to fit into the dresses and I did. I felt pretty :) my eating has improved…

Kettle bell swinging with 30 lbs Can hold 60 sec plank with proper form comfortably Learned to squat last week with a barbell for the first time with 45 lbs and did 70 lbs this week.

Are there any coaches or anything at your gym that can at least show you how to use the equipment? The Ymca where I go has wellness coaches all day to help answer questions and give some guidance. I used it when I first joined on how to use certain machines.

For me it isn't all about weight loss but for me about eating healthier foods and less processed. And as a result, I personally have found a way of eating that is satisfying and doesn't make me worry or stress about meeting a certain caloric intake. And I also don't feel deprived of foods, but it's been a long process…

This thread is so sad! What horrible experiences, but glad that some have had great experiences. I had an instructor who I knew who was working to offer personal training years ago. I liked her, but I think she changed her days she was at the studio. A few years ago I was having lower back issues and went to PT to heal it.…

Meaning I'm not eating to meet a certain calorie intake and looking at the quality of foods, like whole foods. Less processed stuff. And eating until I get almost full. Like rather than grabbing a breakfast sandwich having a smoothie with a homemade turkey sausage pattie I made.

In mid-October :)

I add them to smoothies, baked stuff (made brown rice chia seed bread), etc. Healthy fats!

If you can pack some snacks, that would be smart. Maybe grab some at the store before you leave or when you arrive. Stuff like nuts/seeds, crackers, cheese if you don't have problems with dairy, same with hardboiled eggs. Those tuna packets that don't have water would be great with some lemon. Fruits, carrots, celery, nut…

It's more about quality of food than quantity of food. Get enough sleep!

There are some yoga videos (though I use gaia.com) that are gentle morning stretches or evening routines that focus on stretching. The routine at the top of this page seems pretty straightforward https://bradversusfitness.wordpress.com/2016/03/28/3-at-home-workouts/ And here are several ones that look like they could work…

I went bra shopping on Saturday because I needed new ones at least for dress shopping. I was happy to hear I went down a band and a cup size. Lol though my bust hasn't gone away!! I went shopping at my first ever appt yesterday for my wedding dress and I felt good in trying in the dresses. I'm not 100% what size pants I am…

Challenge Start Weight: 174.0 Challenge Goal Weight: 165 week #1 - 173.2 A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I had a bunless burger which helped satisfy my meat craving. While I wish it had been more exciting, I did the best I could. My most effective workout this week was: My trainer is back so working out with…

My dude eats differently than me. Yes he'll eat healthy meals I cook or that wee cook together, but I ain't gonna lie that some of his delivery food like pasta, sandwiches, Korean bowls, etc., and snack foods like fruit snacks, cereal, etc., aren't tempting at times. That being said, I know how far I've come in my own…

I super dislike counting calories, weighing food, etc. But I balance meals well and aim to stick to whole foods as much as poasible and what I'm doing feels sustainable. Feeling healthy is what's important to me and the weight loss that's come with it is an added bonus for me. While it can be hard seeing others that we…

Sounds like you need to get some strength training in and lift some weights, get squats, etc in. There's lots of stuff online. You can even use a band to help; I use one at home when I don't wanna go to the gym.

Is there a public pool around? Or somewhere you can swim that's inexpensive? Agreed on the chair exercises. I think they even have chair yoga. https://www.doyouyoga.com/6-benefits-of-chair-yoga-8-poses-to-get-you-started/ You could even get some weights and do upper body weight exercise or get some bands. Perfect for…
