Thanks for all the advice everyone! I've watched a few youtube videos (including the one in the post above) and it seems that by reducing the depth of my squat, and keeping my stance narrow it helps to minimize the downward pressure. Thankfully I have never experienced leakage - that would be super embarrassing.

Thanks all. I definitely intend to see my GP and ask for a referral to a pelvic PT. I was just wondering if anyone had specifically already dealt with modifying/perfecting form or technique to minimize downward pressure while squatting.

I’m a huge fan of Grenade Carb Killa protein bars. About 220 cals for 20g protein. They taste like chocolate bars (and have a similar texture as well). My 3 favourites are peanut nutter (choc/pb), caramel chaos (choc/caramel), and Jaffa quake (choc/orange).

Also consider that you may have diastasis recti. There are threads on that as well.

my goal is 1370 per day. A typical day (weekday) looks like this: Coffee: (100 cals) I drink 10 cups a day of 30:70 caf:decaf, plus cream. Helps keep me full and satisfies the hand-to-mouth thing I seem to have from boredom of sitting at a desk all day. Plus the cream helps me meet my protein goals. The high decaf ratio…

I looked at my log

I decided to do some math to figure exactly how many calories I overate by, to hopefully use the dose of reality to make me feel better and/or give me a plan of attack so as to not continue in this pattern of overeating on the weekend. As a result of my calculations, I realized that despite all the weekend overeating I had…

Good advice so far. I guess really what I'm in need of are some coping mechanisms to help me stay in control, when I'm faced with trigger foods (foods that I cannot seem to help over eating) like baked goods, or potato chips. I have very little trouble maintaining discipline throughout the week, but it seems like every…

maybe some of this will help you: http://www.histamineintolerance.org.uk/about/the-food-diary/the-food-list/

41 yo mom of 3 kids (ages 6, 4, and 2). Started at 158 lbs with a goal to get down to 125. Would love support, and to be supportive. Add me!

or stack some tiers from a "step". They are usually more plentiful than 45 plates, to get to the right height. I think I used 4 on each side.

For me, it was when over the course of a month 3 different people asked me if I was pregnant, and my baby was a year old already!

Mine is open. I'm aiming for between 1200-1300 calories per day (I just haven't adjusted my daily calorie goal in the settings because I don't want to forget my previous custom targets).

I snack ALL DAY at work. I sit at a desk too. I know for me, I snack because I'm bored. Sitting at a desk is boring! I've found the best way for me to incorporate my snacking habit is to pre-measure out all my snacks in the morning and do my best to eat everything slooooowly. Like, I'll take 3 bites to eat 1 almond, and…

Stuff I get every week includes: Whole grain Cream of Wheat Oatmeal Strawberries Blackberries Green apples Spinach 2% Greek yogurt 2% cottage cheese 5% cream (for coffee) Almonds Eggs Broccoli Zucchini Bell peppers Carrots Chicken breast Ground turkey Lean sausages Extra-lean ground beef Salmon Steak Then I try to get a…

I'm aiming to net 1200 calories per day and not finding it overly challenging to meet that goal. My diary is open. I sit at a desk ALL day, so I don't have a very active lifestyle. I do enjoy eating exercise calories though, on the days where I get to the gym!

My excuses: 1) It's too late at night to go to they gym. If I go now I'll never be able to get to sleep tonight. (Any time after 8 pm) (I still use this excuse) 2) I eat pretty healthy food. I can't be consuming THAT many calories. (WRONG!! I was eating at least 500 calories in trail mix just sitting at my desk at work.…

I COMPLETELY understand. I tried Zumba, once upon a time and couldn't follow the instructor at all. Then a couple of years later I tried a step-class with my boyfriend. He loved step class and convinced me beforehand that I would have a great time. Well, I hated it. I couldn't keep up with the instructor, I could follow…
