@lovelygirl2132 I do Reformer Pilates which uses the spring weights - does that count as weight training? It’s so intense I’m drenched by the end of my sessions! I do that 3 times a week and have seen a lot of improvement in terms of the springs I use. For cardio - so far i am only running 30...

@mvp23 Yea I was naturally thin and petite for sure! I’m not sure if I’ll ever get back there haha. My hips 10000% widened and the idea of ever wearing my pre baby jeans is just wild and would require some form of miracle. That pre baby body was really something to behold I won’t lie lol. I...

@willyjoejimbob Love this approach. And yes I don’t want to focus too much on the scale. I feel like it can be a huge demotivation. I realized that long term motivation for me is really how I feel after exercising.

@dougt Wow this was so helpful!!!!! I really appreciate how you explained that. I’m going to go with 1575 to begin with and see what happens in terms of trends. Will drop by 100-150 if needed. For dinner I cooked okonomiyaki and literally weighed everything - it was a little time consuming but...

@mattom Yea I wouldn’t be able to do below 1400 realistically with how active I am now. Sounds miserable 😂. Def have to make sure I’m eating enough to workout 6 days a week.

@mattom That makes a lot of sense. I have a scale and will start doing this. Question though - I calculated my TDEE and I have to eat around 1597 a day - which is reasonable. Do you eat back the calories you lost in exercise or no?

I am 5’4” 120 lb (2.5 years after having a child). I’m not really interested in any number on the scale as I know it wouldn’t be the full picture of health but I am trying to feel good in my clothes again. Just for reference though, I was 110 when I got pregnant2.5 years ago. I have previously...
