@uticus One goal is to get back into my rowing habit. It slipped this spring, even while I kept up my other activities. I dunno why! But someone's said there are GAMES on the rower, so now I have a new amusement. The other goal is to do that pec tweak thing that Terry Crews can do. It makes me...

@scripturalreasoning Both my mother and sister have had breast reductions. I say git 'er done when you have the time to jump through the necessary hoops! Based on their experiences, you'll be glad you did. If they are causing pain, hopefully it won't be too difficult to wrangle up the...

@jlegette78 I second the thrifting suggestion! It's the best for new-to-you clothes :D But I agree, it's frustrating. I bought some new shorts for summer in May and they were too baggy to be comfortable by August. Good problem, but annoying.

@drummer96 I've been doing weights while eating at a ~400 calorie deficit since May. I've been losing weight but steadily gaining strength. I've got muscles growing in places I didn't realize got their own muscle! So that's one anecdote in lieu of data in support. I do try to prioritize protein.

@senni According to my watch, my typical day ranges from 1,800 to 2,200; the average for the past seven days has been 1,975. It tends to align with a calculator when I add in exercise separate from sedentary estimate based on weight/height. (I'm 5'4".) I aim to eat at a deficit of ~400 from...

@savien There's dozens of us!

@johnprin I found the liiiink. You sound like me. I dabbled, but this year I finally knuckled down and it's been going well. 4 weeks feels short when it's in conjunction with the new exercise. Look up Natacha Oceane's YouTube videos on metabolism, as well. She's wonderful. I say don't cut...

@johnprin In addition to the advice from others, be aware that starting a weight lifting program can sort of make your body hoard weight due to a variety of factors (iirc, water retention is a big part of it), basically your body's reaction to the new work of straining and repairing all the...

@catieb Thank you for telling me there's GAMES on the rowing monitor. :o

@avafish I'm so happy you like it! I recommend looking at Concept2's introductory material. I found it really valuable, regardless of what rower you have. Have fun!
