@buddysmumoz I think recommending a GF diet for someone who's just asking about general weight loss advice, is way too specific. There are certainly benefits to it- I've been advised by my doctor to do so to alleviate a health condition, and there are people who straight up cannot tolerate...

@debate507 Taking a break from the diet after 10 lbs may help. Eat at maintenance, stay active.

@buddysmumoz I am doing a GF diet right now and I wouldn’t recommend it unless it’s recommended by a doctor for a medical condition. There’s so much scrutinizing over ingredients you have to do, and decline certain foods when you eat out (flour burritos, ramen, sandwiches, soy sauce!!). I also...

@medjugorje I eat a little more at the event and less the next day because I’m still full. As I got older from 20s to 30s, more people around me also became more conscious of eating healthier, enjoying walks after, or not drinking as much. If you’re doing this a lot, have a plan like lower...

@chaplain777 That sounds delicious! I've grown up on too many meals of bland congee that turned me off of all congee.

@amandasaved77 Some days I get to 7 :) Other days it's only 5-6. I've been working with a therapist and a doctor on it to narrow down on reasons.

@mj_1969 Oatmeal, congee... ugh. I can handle mush like smoothies or stew but they're flavored!

@amandasaved77 There was a time around 26 when I slept avg of 6 hours and was making gains too! Now 5-6 hours of sleep means I’m not functional for work and sluggish if I try to do a workout that’s not yoga or stretching.

@johnprin The biggest problem with TDEE calculators is there’s a wide margin of error. Typically it’s recommended to choose a calorie level (usually at maintenance or a level with exercise included) and see if your weight adjusts afterwards to see where your own maintenance range. As others...

@countrygurl32 Eating a full meal 1-2 hours before a workout with a trainer helped me do my best during the workout! I think it can help with post workout fatigue too.

@fadeaway XD I have enough stress in my head without accounting for physical health. If you’re burned out at anything, scale back and reassess. Right now I can only manage a minimal daily routine. Walking breaks. Plan some easy meals (yes there’s some protein), I even ditched tracking. But...

@divorcing Hi, it doesn’t directly affect it but helps the nervous system and adrenal glands, which affects cortisol levels. I found another resource just now that lists all the benefits of the B vitamins and their effects on stress (goes beyond b12)...

@bham Not all the time, but some days even on workdays, one of my "hobbies" is to go on a walk before sunset to destress, listen to music or a podcast, maybe play Pokemon Go. That with increased steps at the office, which I consider more "passive" walking and less intentional, helps get to 10k...

@cookiemon The gall of this man to do this and continue lying! If nothing happens out of this, I hope you make a fuss of this so other members also know about this jerk and establishment (for their irresponsibility) and cancel their memberships. I wouldn’t use the hot tub again if I were a...

@hopeeternal These are closer to rain pants material but not as stiff.

@hungry_hungry_hippo I'm most in tune with myself and alert in the mornings, and love a morning run. Weekend workouts are around 9 am. Ideally I want to start waking earlier on weekdays and workout 6 am followed by 7 am cool down walk. Realistically this happens whenever I remember which is...

@hopeeternal I am wearing these pants which are similar to Athleta’s Brooklyn pants, and I’ve seen similar styles from other sportswear brands. I haven’t tried squatting or deadlifts in these yet but I like not having to wear leggings for a change...

@hopeeternal Have you tried lifting with loose long pants? I’ve started wearing athletic pants for work and light exercise.

@galinavot Definitely try to reach out to your nutritionist over advice of others on the internet. Plateaus at 10 weeks is very normal, and don’t be alarmed if your weight is creeping up at first when eating at maintenance - it could very likely be water weight after being on a cut for an...
