Eat more and eat carbs before bed. The rest can stay the same. You may want to work out your TDEE from an online calculator and eat that instead of the MFP eat back your calories thing. It will give you more calories to eat than MFP. I also second the magnesium supplement before bed.

oh - and also one more https://www.littlelyssfitness.com/ she is great. I haven't used her personally, but I follow her on IG and she is no nonsense no *kitten* and appears to have a variety of plans to tailor to your needs. Again, I don't know from personal experience, but appears to be decent.

I have used 3 online trainers in the past. 2 good ones, 1 *kitten* one. @venerando on here is a good one. His deets can be googled on Flexible Anabolic Nutrition @flexible_anabolic_nutrition on IG but if you google it i think his website comes up. https://fanptusa.com/about/ He's awesome. The other good one that I used…

In Sydney Australia OP - the ones you posted above are called ice blocks usually. but if you get ones which are not just water and fake colour, and you have actual juice, I call them frozen juice tubes. I think the school canteen calls them that too. EDIT to add picture and discover that on the packet they're called…

Ha! we call those "chup-chup" in Brazil! (pronounced shoopy shoopy)

I third the PT option and second opinion!

I must disagree with the avoid the smith machine comment. The Smith machine can actually be a really good piece of equipment depending on how you use it. OP - I'd say go to the gym to get more results than at home bodyweight stuff. Follow a structured program. Get someone to show you HOW to lift. Do cardio you enjoy. Is it…

Glorified administration assistant. I used to be in a cubicle. Now that i'm glorified though, I got an office. I did way more work as a regular admin person than I do now as a glorified one, ie, "manager".

yes.

@Tankiscool nice to meet you Tank :)

Nup. Haven't done it for maybe... I dunno... 3 years now? The Husband stopped teaching classes. Very occasionally I might have a bit of a play with him like in the living room or if we happen to be outside in a park. I did do one class while I was on holiday in Brazil. I didn't die, so I think it's almost like riding a…

Oh yeah, and btw, the reason I come to be in possession of said infra-red sauna was that I had this comp prep coach once many moons ago who said I had to have x number of infra-red sauna sessions per week during my prep. It was cheaper to buy the sauna than to pay at the special infra-red sauna place. And if I didn't do as…

I have a portable infrared sauna. Supposedly it's good for recovery. I don't know. I just like to sit in it in winter and sweat my tits off. Saunas are one of those things that people who love it will say it's great and wonderful and has health benefits yadda yadda, and other people will just say "no, it's a hot box that…

@Hey_its_Just_Meeeee I suppose I am related to Cee. Lots of my family all share the "C" as the first letter of their surname.

Nothing wrong with bread. I prefer bread with wholegrain wheat or other flours such as spelt or rye and stuff like seeds/other grains added to it. Yummier and has more nutritional value than plain old white bread. But each to their own. As for you OP, what Panini911 said above.

No. It's Camila. I had to choose a different name for FB because I didn't want people finding me, so I kind of butchered my name into syllables and made them not quite the same - Ca became Cah during that process. And then I got an IG account and called it Cahgetsfit. So then I changed my MFP username to match the IG…

I think so yes? I have guy friends. They have not all tried to *kitten* me.

Hm. Ok, actually stick to my cut and get to the end, not just stop once I start to feel comfortable with how I look, and most importantly - reverse diet out of it properly so that hopefully and in theory, I can maintain a new level of BF% and not just keep yo-yo-ing like I usually do.

I delete and re-install the app all the time due to its insane amount of bugs. You don't lose your data, it comes back.

Eat a box of Cheerios?

Do you hate walking too? Walking is exercise. Just walk.

use a tracking app such as Libra (android) or Happy Scale (iOS) if you're going to be weighing daily. Look at the trend, not the daily weight because fluctuations (you can read about that in the link someone posted above).

Oooh a philosophical question. Technically no, the word beetle does not have any meaning apart from ‘the thing that is in the box’. My “beetle” could be a cat and your “beetle” could be a parrot for all I know. However, if people had to describe the “beetle” to other people, if beetles were different then it would become…

🤣🤣 ignorE

PS - celery tastes like *kitten*, so I don’t eat it.

Yeah I do. I finely chop it and eat raw in salad. It’s also nice if you spray the leaves with coconut oil and bake in oven and make “kale chips” But agreed with the above - why eat it if you don’t like it? Just because it’s a “superfood”? I eat it coz I like it. There are other leafy greens with good nutritional value and…

@Versicolour I went and googled Jeff and turns out I have read some of his books! The Muirwood ones! They were good!! I shall download some more onto my kindle and get back on it!

Hmmm I dislike intensely motivational quotes. And doing glute exercises. Boooooooring but must be done. I’m not much of a hater tho. I tolerate most things but will have a rant often if something pisses me off

Oooh. Food is a hard one I love all the foods. I am partial to pizza. I love a good pasta too but hardly eat it much anymore because calories. So no one favourite of all time. Exercise - back day and deadlifts. Actually all upper body. But dislike leg day. And apart from lifting I like hiking. Pastime - lately has been…

Oooh I better check him out then. I also think i should probably give ol’ Terry another go. Last time I read him was a good 20 years ago so I can’t even remember any stories. As soon as I read again I will tho. Thanks for that!
