@samogar "Most women?" I didn't think you were a troll before but definitely do now. Please excuse yourself.

@samogar Yeah... We know. This post isn't asking how to stay fit at home.

@joanie59 I mean, they're literally there to sell you a membership. You won't be weird for wanting to sign up for one. They should be perfectly willing to give you a tour and answer any questions you'll have.

@helenaadelia Continuing to use the program's name continues to give this guy a platform to perpetuate this garbage. Financial support isn't the be all end all. It doesn't matter if you personally didn't know his name.

@helenaadelia This is so not the point.

@mikumiku I think they were specifically referring to the fear of the attention, like the only way attention can be bad is if something has happened to you that you’re trying to hide from. Which is probably legitimate in some cases, but I’m an introvert with social anxiety who hates...

@rocky24 1g/lb of bodyweight is within the recommended range for people trying to build muscle.

@twinmama I assume you meant hasn't* been harassed? I actually went back and looked at my old thread and there were only a handful of people who said that, most were understanding, but I guess the ones that felt unsupportive stood out.

@heavensweet Thank you for this. I'm not OP but I had posted something similar to this a while ago. It was before I'd lost any weight but I was a little worried about increased attention, and was told my fears were unfounded and that I probably had trauma I was suppressing. None of that is true...

@pinkyandthebrain You're most likely getting downvoted because of the short time frame, the "shredding for the wedding" mindset, and the use of muffin-top. Meg isn't really known for this kind of thing.

@vhialemon I definitely think boredom contributed to my break so I'm hoping all this variety will keep me engaged and excited. Not to to mention I won't have to deal with gym bros as often which was a big deterrent towards the end.

@dawn16 Sounds like I've got the right idea then, thank you!

@sandis I didn't mean working out twice a day. I don't have time for that, it would all be on separate days. The working out isn't for weight loss. As my post said, I lost 100lbs already which got me to my goal weight. I stopped working out and ate like shit for 6 months causing me to gain a...

@sandis Thank you! I don't really feel like I've achieved it because I've gained like 40 back (I know, I know) but I'm trying not to dwell on it and to remember how good I felt back then. I wanna finally get to maintenance so I can eat more and see some real gainz.

This might seem silly but it always seems like people fall into one of two categories; they prefer HIIT type classes or lifting. Last year I lost a hundred pounds and was doing an upper/lower split 4x a week and running 2-3x. It worked well then, but around November my personal life went into...

@mcooperiii Trevor and Riley are awesome! I may be biased as I'm coached by Riley lol. These numbers are very impressive, and it's great you were able to find a balance between powerlifting and endurance sports.

@jordangeneration As a newbie lifter, you can pretty easily gain muscle in a deficit. I'm still making gains after lifting for the majority of two years and being in a deficit most of that time as well.

@lapinot Gotcha, might be time to start working towards more difficult progressions of those then! And yeah, they can be done on parallel bars or a Smith machine or even TRX straps. Search "bodyweight inverted row."

@lapinot I'm going to go against my usual advice here and say it may benefit you to start doing calisthenics-type training to get better at pole. Since you're lifting your own bodyweight, I think it may actually be more beneficial to start incorporating things like push ups, pull ups, bodyweight...

@lapinot If your goal to gain muscle or to gain strength? While they are obviously related, focusing on one over the other will look a bit different when it comes to training and eating.
