@nart I was eating peanut butter toast for breakfast and rice and veggies for lunch every day 😭 no wonder I was so sore and hungry!

@1blssddaddy1984 I think its pretty common! I was so happy when I heard other people had the same issue because I kept trying to make it work and feeling terrible.

@sid12wol Unfortunately I had to stop being vegetarian because I found out that most plant based proteins make me really bloated but I do love fried tofu

@colwyn Definitely eating protein! I jumped head first into crossfit after years of only yoga and definitely suffered my first few months because I was vegetarian and not making any kind of effort to eat enough protein

@yasher I also suspect big pilates is involved, suddenly everyone is talking about it when it's been around since like the 80s?

@seekinganswersinlife Yeah I grew up around the same time and have always had a big butt and thighs so curvier figures and lifting being in have been great for me! I'm finally able to find pant that fit!

@ricardoleslie9811 I can see how people can have bad experiences and get injured jumping into lifting cold turkey without a trainer and then feel a lot better with pilates. I think that's the problem with a certain type of workout being trendy because people think they can just go at it...

@seekinganswersinlife I don't know if it's just me algorithm but I've seen SO much pilates content lately. It's funny to me because I got into pilates before lifting because I have a dance background which has a lot of overlap. I feel that it helped my abs but I didn't develop any other muscles...

@cthelight7 I was a vegetarian and my only protein source was peanut butter...... do not recommend!

@cthelight7 Definitely make sure you're getting enough protein! I used to assume I was because I thought that nuts and stuff had a lot but after tracking I realized I wasn't even close.

@savedsue Watching Survivor actually motivated me because I wanted to be in good enough shape that I think I'd be good at the challenged

@jlegette78 If you love all your old clothes and want similar replacements I recommend checking out poshmark! Usually if you search the brand and the type of item you're looking for stuff comes up. Happy for you!

@lifeunlocked Even if there isn't crossfit, many gyms have coaching services so if you're starting to go heavier and want any feedback on your form that could be worth it!

@lifeunlocked I love this detailed advice! I'm relatively new to strength training as well. I got started by joining a Crossfit gym that has a great reputation for being welcoming to non-bros because it was so close to where I was living I figured I would have no excuse not to go. I went for...

@heartofberries From the US, that test destroyed my self esteem when I took it when I was like 11 (6th grade). We did the thing where you did a dead hang from a bar for as long as you could and all the other girls who hadn't hit puberty yet could hang for like a minute and I only lasted a few...

@michaelo I lift Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Saturday and do around 300 calories of cardio on the off days. I also try to get 11,000 steps each of those days. It's definitely a little hard to make time for it especially since I have to work in person 2 days a week now. I have lost 10 pounds since...

@adriana28 Did you only weigh yourself once? My weight fluctuates around 3 pounds based on when I weigh myself. Yesterday I didn't eat much and was 132 and then this morning I was a little bloated and was 135. It's important to look at averages because water weight actually makes a pretty big...
