Having a hard time.
Trying to convince myself that I can still lose weight while eating carbs and sugar. I cut basically both out for 2 weeks and lost 8 lbs. Now I’ve been at the same weight for another 2 weeks since adding them back in :/ It’s been very discouraging to be at a deficit for two weeks and seeing no movement in the scale. I know…

Is my body broken?
I’ll try to keep this short. After my third baby in 4 years, I started working with a pelvic floor therapist and made great progress. I was doing hinge movements, lunges and squats with almost zero pain. Originally I couldn’t do any of those movements without feeling intense ache/discomfort in my lower back. I worked with…

Workout Split
I’m wanting to create a split of 3 days of strength training (two lower, one upper), and 2-3 days of Pilates (one full body, and two core). Is it okay to do a core warmup on my strength training days though too? Nothing crazy, just bird dogs/dead bugs/side planks. I struggle a lot with my core strength (still healing from…

Not sure what to do…
I posted several days ago on a different thread about how I was doing an elimination diet. Cutting out all gluten, sugar, dairy. The biggest thing for me was cutting out sugar - I was way too addicted (major brain fog, feeling like I needed to eat every 30 mins, severe crashes.. to name a few). Plus I knew cutting those…

Appetite Dramatically Decreased
I started Nancy Anderson’s Slim Down program a week ago. It’s basically an elimination diet of cutting out gluten, dairy, and sugar for 30 days. I did it for weight loss reasons but also because I was dealing with other issues that cutting these out for a time could help with. But since day 4, I’ve noticed a drastic…

Calorie Help
I’m 25, 5”2, and currently weigh 132.2 lbs. I’m wanting to get down to 115. For a couple months, I was easily eating close to 2500-3000 a day due to breastfeeding and just starting to workout again after a 4 year hiatus lol. But now that I’m done breastfeeding and my body is adapting to doing more work throughout the week,…

Trouble Picking A Program
I have a big dream of competing again in a bodybuilding show but I’m having trouble picking a program. I don’t have the money to afford a coach and I don’t feel confident enough to create my own program because I’m way too nit picky. I’ve found 3 monthly programming online that I’m interested in but can’t decide which to…

Vixen or MoveMa
Has anyone heard of Brittany Ogus’s MoveMa programming? Or her husband’s Vixen programming? From what I’ve seen, I do like that Brittany adds in some functional movements, but I’m also trying to slow start training for a bikini bodybuilding competition so I feel like Matt Ogus’s programming might be better? Any thoughts…

Anterior Pelvic Tilt - anyone else?
After seeing several pelvic floor therapists and a chiropractor, both told me I have a pretty good anterior pelvic tilt postpartum and I was told to work on glute max/medius exercises at least 3 times a week. The thing is, most lower body exercises do NOT feel good - like I feel it mostly in my lower back, which is pretty…

Yoke Buds
Anyone running Paul Carter’s Yoke Buds? Or another one of his programs? Thoughts on his content?

Are Booty Bands Overrated?
I am postpartum with my third baby and every single postpartum workout plan I have found involves booty bands. I think when learning to reconnect to my core, booty bands can be effective, but now I am starting to add in my own outside workouts, and I have heard a lot of controversy on whether or not booty bands are…
