I am supposed to eat 2146 healthy calories?...
Ok, so I am going to try to eat more to weigh less while lifting and am sorting out my tdee (2683) and bmr (1731) and minus 20% which leaves me eating 2146 a day which is all good.

Heavy lifting ladies, a moment please?
Hiya, I have recently started lifting heavy and I have now progressed far enough to have joined a gym and gotten myself a trainer.

help with macros please
Hiya, I am trying to set up my macros to increase my protein and fat and am not sure of something.

I am struggling to stay committed when I don't see the scale moving instead of just being more careful about my logging and pushing harder in my exercise. I can't give…

Should I lift weights too???
Hiya, ok this is perhaps a silly question but I am a bit confused. I am trying to lose over 100lbs and one of my biggest priorities is to be fit and healthy. I try to do my cardio workouts every day so brisk walk with jogging here and there when my heart doesnt feel like it is coming out of my chest and I do a stationary…

Who knew?!!
Ok, so I am 45 years old and have been a yoyo dieter my whole life. I was 252 pounds on my birthday on the 4th of January and miserable because I didn't think I would ever be able to take the weight off without looking into weight loss surgery. I was convinced i was addicted to food and would never be able to starve myself…
