I think there is a known issue with trackers syncing the last few days from what I e seen on here.

Coffee tends to mess with my acid reflux which sometimes has a funny way of making me feel hungry when I know there’s no possible way I could be. Happened today actually!

When I first got into fitness, all I pretty much did was cycle. Loved it. Obviously that was before I knew the benefits of cross training but I lost a significant amount of weight, toned up my legs and hiney, and just felt all around amazing.

Yep, I think it does need to be recomp vs weight loss. Honestly I am fine with the number on the scale I just don’t want to be so jiggly and bulgy. I’m skinny fat and getting annoyed. I do Cathe Friedrich workouts. Lots of bootcamps, upper and lower body splits, bodyweight interval training, kickboxing, etc. I usually…

That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing lately. My last InBody scan showed that my percent body fat dropped from 28.6 to 27.4 BUT my muscle mass also decreased. In the scan prior to this one, muscle mass went up from 46.5 to 50.3 but then dropped to 49.8 (I’m assuming due to a 3 lb weight loss from 129 to 126). So I’m…

I’ve recently discovered I’m a volume eater. I would rather have three giant meals a day than spread everything out and eat small for 5 or 6 meals. BUT my issue is: I don’t do it with veggies! You guys are giving me great ideas and I love it!

We had a big pizza lunch on Tuesday so I have to behave this weekend, but I just made a huuuuge bowl of tomato basil soup with rotini pasta. Added in some butter garlic croutons and Greek yogurt for creaminess. I can’t even finish it I’m so stuffed! Finished just under my calorie goal too!

Yep, agreed. I usually go by how my clothes feel. And unfortunately because I put on a good amount of muscle but didn’t lose much fat, everything is pretty tight. The muscle part I’m pretty happy about. I wouldn’t care so much what the scale said if I were to see a change in my physique but alas, nothing. I will keep on it.

You got that right! Super easy to do! I didn’t mention it earlier because I didn’t think it was the issue but then like you said, I realized I didn’t have much to go in terms of weight loss and maybe that was one of the issues. It sucks being a foodie sometimes! Just wanna eat all the good stuff that’s out there!

Nope I don’t have a food scale so I just measure with cups and spoons. But getting a scale definitely crossed my mind. I did have a little pizza binge on Tuesday and I’m wondering if my once a week cheat meals (sometimes a cheat day) are fudging me up. I can eat a LOT if I really want to. So it could also be a case of…

So, what I’m finding is that I eat around 1500 calories before exercise and always have a little left over at the end of the day. So, I’m ending the day at 1500 with exercise included. I am allllll sorts of confused when it comes to this stuff haha. But yes, definitely not losing and absolutely no change in body shape…

Perfect! Yes the double dipping is what I was concerned about. Thank you!!

You can 100% get your heart rate up with a mixture of low impact cardio and strength moves structured accordingly. Try PHA, metabolic, and bootcamp workouts. Additionally, compound moves are going to get your heart rate up fast. But you need to structure your workouts to have very small rest between movements - keep up the…

I just do what feels best. I generally aim for 2-3 strength workouts. 2 cardio, and 1 flexibility throughout the week. Sometimes I will throw a barre workout in there or a long walk in the sun instead depending on my energy levels.

That’s how you do it! Get right back on the horse and keep crushing it! OP these are trying times but they in no way make your issues insignificant. When you feel good about yourself, it changes your attitude and your entire being. Don’t give up! Even if you don’t lose weight right away, you’re still doing something…

I’ve never been able to get rid of them no matter how thin. Fat loss helps me since it’s the only place I gain weight, but the fat is still always there in some capacity.

Try Cathe Friedrich. I LOVE her workouts. She has a streaming service and DVD’s.

Yes! I’m a LM instructor so I do combat often. That and Bodyflow are my two favorites.

Starting 80 Day Obsession today!

I deal with this often - especially if I don’t do something particular for a while and go back to it full force (I work at a gym and we work out HARD). Just this past week, I was zonked out for two days after some serious circuit training. Finally got back to it yesterday and cut my session in half to ease back in. Take it…

I just bought organic romaine from my grocery store yesterday. I’m not sick yet haha.

LIIFT4 week 2 day 3, shoulders done! One more day to go and my week is done (Thurs-thurs).

Hey there! I’m on week two, day two of LIIFT4 and loving it. Originally joined BOD to do 80 Day Obsession, but I think I will start a hybrid of that and LIIFT4 this week. I am SORE!

Fabulous! Thanks!

So true. And this is the rut I found myself in over the last year or so. I was so infrequent with it that I just stayed at the same weight forever. Not this time! I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for other programs that will help me. Thank you!

Hi there! Yes, LIIFT4 encourages you to increase your weights as you progress. It’s an 8 week program but you can always repeat the 8 weeks as many times as you want and going as heavy as you’d like until you meet your goals. I have already increased from last week (just two lbs or so). This is different for me because…

Thank you for your response! Yes, eating enough protein is definitely not an issue for me. I’m about two weeks in and am already seeing an increase in my strength and I’m really excited! I already had a good base to work off of, so I think I really need to just push myself and find that edge.

They’re at Acme! Saw them a few days ago!

Late night cheeseburger Doritos and PB Crisps.

I will be in your shoes within the next year or so. Congratulations to you mama! Make sure to take your time :)
