Killing it! wow!!

I would just start with your "why" Why do you want to embark on your fitness journey? because its work and it wont always be fun or instantly rewarding. Maybe journal and find that Why that you can always go back to when you sense your motivation flagging. Feel free to add me. I have been steadily but veeeerrrrryyyy slowly…

I like all of the replies and I fully agree, I guess its more of a question of, if someone is just texting a "WYD" or a pic of them on the golf course it seems cringy to be like "you're great but I met someone", I feel like its overkill...I think I'm going to just ignore them, b/c, I agree, everyone is going to move along…

@that_night_in_paris I will definitely keep that in mind!

@harper16 I'm not on Tinder anymore. These are guys I dated enough to share my phone number with

@TonyB0588 I think that will just sort itself out. But you raise a good point

@GoJohnGo71 that's mean, and actually they Did date me so thats kind of the point to my question...

It just seems awkward to have that as a text reply to someone who I hung out with who is just texting to say "hey, hows it going? Doing anything fun this weekend?" YKWIM?

Lmao.... is it bad to say " I met somebody but it was so nice getting to meet you" that sounds so cringe, but thats sincere.

The birthday party cupcake but Not the margarita...b/c birthday party

Whats wrong with vanity? ;) You might want to check out SculpSure. it is a laser based procedure a lot like coolsculpt. I went through one round and I'm honestly just too fat right now for it to make much of a difference but what I Did notice was how much tighter my skin looked. So if an actual mini-tuck seems too invasive…

I'm almost as old as you and just IMHO if you are trying to lose 25lbs your diet is #1 I would start lifting weights to help your body re-comp as it loses fat. I agree with the other poster that told you Hiit workouts don't last an hour. I would beware super crazy workouts that could make your cortisol levels work against…

I don't know about Swai, but I like Tilapia and I pick up mine from Costco where they have a rigorous process of choosing providers of their seafood. Sure it can be raised in absolutely abysmal conditions but it is also sustainable so, yeah, I would just look into where its coming from. Its such a great lean protein source!

Hi Angela, I'm not going to assume anyones gender here but I do think a female perspective could help. I agree with the "too wide" thing. I really hurt my floating rib squatting with a rigid Inzer belt. Even though I think they are Amazing as a 5'3" woman who doesn't carry a screw driver with her to the gym I switched to a…

I love this thread. What a sincerely cool and brave op and what amazingly legit men (and women) commenting. As someone who was dumped after I did a “dirty dancing” strip tease for a dude because he considered me to posses too much juggle, I totally get the insecurity part even without a c-section scar. Nice to hear all of…

Hope I’m doing this right

So many great comments here! I also really love tofu. Its wonderful in curry when pressed and sautéed a bit. I also enjoy doing the cauliflower "steaks" with spicy almond butter romanesco type sauce. Lentils, french lentils especially, are very "meaty" and delish. Blending raw cashews with a little water and baking…

Wow! great job @Styggian Very realistic and super motivating for that reason. I'm really trying to build muscle too.Thanks for being inspiring!

Some times I feel like I’m losing and finding the same guinea pig week every week

He clearly wanted her to find out

45 full body weights workout at 6:00 Am. I love early morning workouts

Responding to some of these replies: I don't think looking like a "bro"(I'm assuming that means defined and muscular) means you can't also posses the knowledge required to help someone reach their goals. To me if a trainer looked like a mess why would I care if he read every book on what every muscle did or how they do it?…

I just had an MTS whey shake. Omg. So good the banana cream pie flavor with ice and almond milk. 💟💟💟

Steadily chipping away at the weight I gained in Nov. I think I actually might have found my acceptance with feeling hungry again. 🤷🏽‍♀️

That is such a good point! ^ Glad you had a fun night. I’m due for one of those 🤔

It really all depends on the trainer IMO. I’ve seen such skinny/fat beta trainers at some gyms. I’m always amazed. When I was in the best shape of my life I was training with a PT who was a legit body builder/strength trainer. He didn’t waste my time with a lot of stupid crunches and really listened to what I wanted from…

Evenings are the killer for me too. I’m running around all day like a mad woman and when I’m in for the night my good intentions evaporate like the bottle of red wine I just opened 😂

Great job! I’m thinking of trying a pre-packaged dinner type thing because even though I cook very healthy I’m also a pretty great cook (😉)and too much healthy food is still too much food! Lol

I've also found that ashwagandha is a helpful supplement. I also take Same and if its a really stressful or crappy week I'll even take 2 a day. I find that with a little exercise and outdoor sunshine really helps me and I definitely have had struggles with the blues. It also ok to cry when you feel like crying. Give…

Hi there! Full disclosure I lurked a little. What a nice, supportive bunch of peeps! I'm digging in now so that the holidays don't get completely out of hand. Monday is my" heavy weights" day and judging by this ice storm out side it might end up being a little different than I planned. Hope everyone is safe and warm…
