@sarahz I'm sure your dog would enjoy it! Planks are gonna be core more than upper body. Does your gym have a cable machine? If not, you could get creative with resistance bands. Could do bicep curls with the band around your forearm. Go as far as you can without it sliding. Could add...

@steve86 Gaining more than 1lb a week is gonna just be a gain of pure fat. I wouldn't exceed 1lb a week gained. A 500 calorie a day surplus will gain 1lb a week. Once you hit your protein goals and your fat minimums, you can really eat whatever you like, but of course healthier food is better...

@donna8558 Yes, calorie deficit is the only way. When you were lifting and not losing weight, you weren't in a deficit. But I would highly encourage you to start lifting again now you have your calories figured out. High protein + resistance training while in a deficit at minimum helps you...

@zayin7 Happy to help ❤️ Feel free to reach out about anything else! You got this !

@mandy2007 That'd be a lot of calories for sure (but tasty hah). But best of luck dude :)

@sarahz Have you gone to a doctor about your wrist? If not, I would encourage you to do so, just to verify it's not something worse. At minimum, just start walking more. You don't need to run. If you have access to a bike (stationary or other wise) that's a good option as well. For strength...

@chado2423 The birth control and anti-depressants could be affecting your metabolism. You can choose to come off at least the birth control and that may help. But ultimately, the only way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories than you burn. Maintaining eating under 2000 calories could still...

@zayin7 She may be a fantastic doc and either just doesnt' know about it or could even be paid by the pharma companies to prescribe medications. Our healthcare system isn't really that great when it's a for-profit industry :/ Basically the tl;dr version of it is real foods over food products...

@delo There's a 100% possibility, it's literally physics! Once you do get your diet figured out and understand how calories and nutrition work, it's pretty easy! The difficult part will be fighting addictions and cravings. Slowly changing your diet to be a healthier one (all the time, not just...

@mandy2007 Hopefully you've learned junk food isn't the way to go! Start logging your calories. Use a TDEE calculator for a starting point and go from there. If you aren't losing weight, decrease the number of calories you eat. Your weight for your height isn't awful, so I wouldn't go on too...

@thechcicagobluecollarguy Start by fixing your diet. Slowly change your habits to start eating more fresh, whole foods and avoid anything with added sugar in it. Don't try and change all at once because sugar addiction is real and can be a bitch to get over. But eating right could possibly...

@zayin7 Do your research on it before hand! The doctor may not even know about it!! Kind of a side tangent on that, I'm trying to work through some gut issues. I go to a gastro, get tests, and they prescribe a couple of antibiotics. I look em up and holy fuck side effects. Sorry, but peeing...

@delo Calorie deficit is literally the only way to lose weight, and youve likely got at least 35lbs to lose. WHAT you eat matters as well. If you tried some hyper strict deficit and didn't get your nutrition in, then yeah, you're gonna feel like low energy shit. To a degree, there will be...

@zayin7 So I don't have PCOS, but still.... The process is the same for you as it is for anyone. Just unfortunately, life dealt you a shitty hand. You need to watch your calories and eat less and get into a calorie deficit. This is literally the only way to lose weight. No workout is going to...

@jrminoh419 You just need to eat less. Calorie deficit is the only way to lose fat. And the only way to tackle belly fat is to lose fat all over. If you aren't losing weight, you're eating too much. Getting in the gym and training your entire body combined with hitting your protein goals...

@deborah555 I regularly drink around 3L a day, more if I'm exercising. The only thing I drink is water though. I use to be someone who hardly drank and since drinking more, it's made a huge difference for me. However, I first made it a goal to try and drink 2L a day first and raised it from...

@sharrylee It takes easily 6 months to really start seeing a change, if not a year. And then you really see the changes after you've cut weight after a bulk. 2 months is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

@roadzombie Sounds like a shitty trainer to me. Which sadly, a LOT are. A good trainer should meet you at your level and ease you into it. But a lot of trainers want to make it seem like they're worth your money by working you too hard. This is NOT the way to go. Youtube can be your friend...

@cornbreadfed614 It's not that you are iron/vit d deficiency, it's just that there is a possibility. I'd argue MOST people could get more VitD as we aren't spending anywhere near as much time out in the sun. And hell, even if we are, still may not be enough. I was spending enough time outside...

@okegold You never know what the other dude is going through. Maybe he was having a super shitty day and unintentionally took it out on you. Always try and be the better man and just kill em with kindness
