@rosewood66 Thank you! Yeah, I always just thought I was blessed with a high metabolism, turns out that was false and I'm a regular human being :) lmao

@m32s Oh that's a great question then! Because my arms were a huge target point when I started working out, I carried a lot of weight in my face and arms.

@contrecoup What do you mean by isolation moves? My lateral raises I do together with both arms, like each hand holding 5 lbs, and my bicep curls same thing but with 10 or 15 lbs. I don't have a pull up bar, but I've recently started using the weight bar machine and have been doing pull ups...

@stevejackson Thank you :) I'm glad you find it motivating. Have a wonderful day!

@ladymatsuke I walk around at work, I get up to get water, I walk around at lunch, walk around at home playing with the cats, volleyball, yoga, going to and from places!

@apbranch I did actually, it took me about a month to see solid results. And then it came off way quicker. I remember one time I somehow weighed in at 123 once and 117 just a week later, blew my mind. Depends on the time of day you weigh yourself as well.

@haigcraylett If you work out 3-5 days of moderate exercise, it's safe to assume to you can easily do 1800 calories a day! Have you calculated your TDEE before? I like this one. My FitBit tells me I burn about 2000 a day when I work out and walk at least 8,000 steps.

@sugarbunny I try my best to walk 10,000 steps - I've recently started walking more at lunch instead of just sitting at my computer and watching The Office (even if that's all I want to do), walks can be a lot of fun unless the weather is horrid. I average about 8,000 though and that includes...

@aarcus Thank you :) I started writing this like 3 or 4 times in the last month and kept deleting it, then I realized that I should just go for it and people don't care if it's organized the best it can be.

@consumedwthocd I thought in the beginning of my journey that I needed to be eating 1200 and also working out, I quickly discovered that was not the way to go since I had no energy. I do think 1200 can work for petite, short women who do not work out and want to lose weight. If there maintenance...

@smith1 Which ones are those?? I'd love a direct recommendation!

@andybogdan Do you happen to have a direct link :)?

@andybogdan That one looks really nice too! It looks like the same user-face as mine just a tad bigger. Have you gotten any extra bands? I really want the fancy rose gold one but I'm like $85 for a band... hmm...

@andybogdan Thank you!! :) Which one do you have? It's been great, I really love tracking my sleep as well.

@hami_htm Thank you!

@ariaspen I work 7:30-4:30 Monday to Friday but luckily my commute is only 15-20 minutes. I work out straight after I come home from work and them eat dinner by 7:30pm. I don't eat after 8pm just because I find I feel sluggish the next morning if I do. It leaves me a solid 3 hours to do whatever...

@30silvercoins Based on all of the various TDEE calculations I've done, my FitBit seems to be insanely accurate. My TDEE is 1950-2100 according to the online calculators I've used and my FitBit records my burned calories at 1900-2,100 at the end of a work out day.

@lacceir I've increased them! I started with only 5 lb weights for everything, and less reps. I'm adding in more and more weight training as I go :)

@lacceir Thanks! My abs were definitely not there in the summer lol.. My body felt all over the place, there are photos I can't even post here because I'm too self conscious of them even though I don't look like that anymore haha. I doubt you are flabby & that's a great weight to be at...

@sqs1 This is true for sure, because even MTP and the cardio machines themselves will have a different calorie count. I know that my TDEE when working out is 2000 so I base my meals on that number and work out for the toning and energy it provides :) thanks
