@notaperfectchristian My two favorites are that you can’t have more than 25 grams of protein per meal and utilize it and that potatoes are bad carbs while rice is better. Give me them potatoes and I’ll eat 40 grams of protein and go ahead and feel full instead thanks!

@jay1969 Join the one that you enjoy being in the most. It's worth the price. Much like you I have to do more work than the average person it seems to maintain. My body loves a high level of activity but has the personality of a lazy bum. I will never work out early in the morning except to do a...

@evachristine I have a tiny corner in my bedroom with a bench, power stack, and some kettlebells. It's hardly any room at all but will suffice if I can't get to the gym. The treadmill is in the spare bedroom. It would be great to have a dedicated space with more equipment but it will work in a...

@peaceprevails26 I think this is where bone structure makes a huge difference. My friend is 5'2" and she has said the same thing about looking her best around 140. I'm 5'4" and just lost a fair amount of weight. I'm 124 right now. I still have about 5% BF to lose. (in other words I don't look...

@nobillis Yeah I was going to add that OP might want to make sure she has good ankle mobility as well, and possibly needs to change running shoes.

@shanewu93 Not at all. I actually posted it here a week or so ago. So I'll copy it: The last six months I've been actively dieting (or calorie restricting) and working out. This is what I did: I'm 5'4" 54 and was 152. I am now 123. In August I stopped drinking wine, downloaded Cronometer, a...

@ki77ie I went from 152 to 123 at 5'4" over the last 6 months. I could feel things were starting to stall in Feb, so went back to maintenance for a recomp and will likely stay here for a few months. Those last 5-7 are incredibly stubborn, everyone is different and has to tweak things to find...

@g3ntl3w4rri0r Swimming and lifting heavy objects.

@nathan2018 Absolutely true. There is no way I could handle the volume or intensity I do now when I was a beginner and my legs need more recovery time than my arms which seems rather obvious, but you have to experiment and find what is best for you. And even that can change as your body adapts.

@jamie2014 In terms of metabolic differences, women can actually rely on fatigue-resistant pathways at higher intensities than men, which means they may not deplete their energy stores as fast. Their recovery can be anywhere from 25-50% faster. Look at some of the studies on HIIT. This makes...

@deadpool Totally. I think knowing how to fail safely is a huge plus that we should all practice. I don't have the luxury of a training partner who can catch the bar if I should fail. I've also had the experience where for some reason I'm stronger on the 3rd or 4th set though I'm at a weight...

@jodi1028 There are so many influencers out there, it can be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. I follow some women because of how they look as it motivates me to get my butt into the gym and work hard, But I'm convinced 90% of them have cycled Anavar/Oxandrolone at a minimum...

@tinglee0021 This is the way.

@patsy_cline_fan What I got from an interview done by Jeff Nippard regarding women and menstrual phases as well as Dr Mike is that generally speaking (baring the menstrual stuff) women recover faster between sets and days. So essentially volume and intensity can be far higher than the men. Will...

@religionpsych Sorry if this is a stupid question, but were you consistently tracking your macros/calories during both times?
