IF and weight lifting......
So I really want to try IF. I’m just trying to make sure it can fit my lifestyle/schedule. I feel the 12pm to 8pm eating window would work best for me. However my main concern is getting in protein right after my workout. I have always been taught to preserve muscle and help build them it’s best to get in protein right…

Masks for doing cardio that won’t suffocate
I need suggestions for a mask that I won’t feel like I’m suffocating in during cardio. I’ve tried the disposable blue ones and these cloth ones from Old Navy. I just feel like I’m not getting enough air in and I have to stop the exercise because I feel light headed. But I’m trying to stay active 😩

I don’t want to get bulky!
I don’t understand ladies that say they don’t want to workout or change their eating habits because they either 1. Don’t want to get bulky. Or 2. Don’t want to lose their curves. 1. You won’t get bulky by lifting weights. You may feel bulky if you have a layer of fat over your new muscle. Once you lower your body fat you…

Why is this app so glitchy?!
Seriously, it’s been out for soooooo many years and has had soooooo many updates. Yet it’s still glitchy as hell. Why?! 😤😤😤

What grinds your gears?
When I post asking something specific and I get questioned or am given unwanted advice. Exhibit A: I ask what everyone’s favorite pre workout is and I just get “You don’t need a pre workout”. That’s not helpful. I personally like pre workouts and the kick they give me. If other people don’t, that’s ok. We are all…

How am I related to this?!
So sad to see my own family member post something like this. I can’t speak for anyone else. But I personally was put I. Furlough from my job of over 13 years. If they wasn’t the case I would still be there. I lost my grandmother to Covid in April. This isn’t some type of fun vacation. SMDH ok vent over.

Loving the new gym guidelines
I work out at Youfit and I’m quite enjoying all the changes. Have to stay 6ft away from strangers. Everyone is wearing masks so nobody talks to you. People actually have to clean off the machines after use. You can only use every other cardio machine, so nobody can get on the machine right next to you. You can just focus…

So which one is accurate?
25 mins of stairs and the difference in calorie burn between my Apple Watch and the actual machine is crazy 😝

MFP app running painfully slow?
Does everyone have this issue? The app runs so slow & freezes often. I feel like it's only been an issue since the last couple of updates. I find myself being super inactive on here because it's just too frustrating to use the app.

For the men who tell women to smile.....
I have a natural resting b face. I’ve literally always been that way. It’s not that I’m angry, mad, unhappy etc. it’s just how my face is. So I often get those lovely unwanted comments from random men to “smile”. Why do you guys do this? Why can’t a woman just be herself and not expected to walk around with a fake smile on…

5 pounds gained?!
Is it possible to gain 5 pounds in a weekend? I was 129 on Thursday and this morning I’m 134. I 100% overate over the weekend between Easter candy, dinner and deserts. But 5 whole pounds?! 😩😩😩

Question for people who walk/run outdoors
I’m used to walking/running on a treadmill. But since all the gyms are currently closed I’ve been doing long walks outdoors. My poor feet are getting the worst blisters 😩 I wear shoes that fit well and even bought socks with extra cushion because I thought it would help. Anything else I can do to stop myself from…

Some dude send me a fr, I add everyone so I add him. He sends me a message “Thanks for the add, how are you?” I politiey reply tell him “I'm…

Paying membership fees for closed gyms?
For those of you who belong to gyms that are currently closed are you still being charged your monthly fee or are they offering some sort of compensation? I belong to Youfit and on their FB page members are going crazy because they are upset the gym is closed and they are still being charged. Part of me emphasizes with…

Well you looked fine before!
I’ve noticed this done constantly and I don’t really understand it. Someone shows a before and after pic and they are so proud of how far they have come and all their hard work. Most people congratulate them & are super positive. But a certain group of people will always go “I thought you looked fine before”. Why say that?…

Strapless bras....A question for the ladies
I wear a lot of off the shoulder tops. I normally just tuck my bra straps into the top but they never stay hidden, plus that makes the bra start to slide down. I need suggestions for a good strapless bra that actually stays in place.
-
Kindly don’t speak to me?
Ok so I go to my gym at roughly the same time each day. All the regulars know I am not that friendly chatty gym person. They respect it and leave me alone. However there is this one guy who just isn’t taking the hint. He comes up to me every time he sees me and wants to have a conversation. He hadn’t seen me in awhile and…

Yeah this was supposed to be my year. Then the break up happened.....
So you know how at the beginning of each year we say “This is going to be my year”. Yeah I said that. Then I went through a bad break up with my ex fiancé. Had a rebound romance with another girl and was literally flying all over the world to see her. I’m still not sure what happening there 🤔 Us lesbians are a mess…

Favorite dating apps/sites?
Before anyone says MFP I’m already rolling my eyes at you. Anyway, I think I may be ready to join the world of online dating. I don’t get out much, so I figured online is a good place to start. I have used Tinder for a short period in the past. But I know there are so many dating sites and apps now. I’m open for…

Stella!!!!
So I’ve never been a huge beer drinker. Well I’ve never really drink beer at all because all the ones I’ve tried I found to be disgusting. However my girlfriend started buying Stella and keeping it in the fridge so I tried one of those one day just for the heck of it and I fell in love. Now that I know they aren’t all…
