@sanj79 Are the free weight portions such that I could walk into the gym alone and do them?

@sanj79 It does. I do think I would need a trainer to work through this with me, as I have never used free weights

@sanj79 Well The muscle building mode takes you through three types of lifting Negative- where it seems heavier bringing it down or back than pushing up or forward (if that makes sense) Adaptive-the machine changes weight with each rep Explonic-you push/pull nice and easy to warm up then you...

@sanj79 They are basically like cybex type machines but are automated so they adjust the weight, and equipment to you when you scan in. It also keeps track of workouts and gives a controlled lift and release guide on a screen So are you against using machines of any kind?

@liz869802 Currently I’m 5’6 and 154 pounds. When I do cardio my fitness tracker has me at burning around 2000cal/day. If I’m sedentary it puts me at 1650. I just plugged it into a tdee calculator which also put me at 2000 for moderate exercise. 1000-1250 cal day would give me a 1.5-2 pound wr...

Don’t understand the downvote here lol

@enquizzicalpeep Thanks! I have tried it and think it has some benefit, mostly because it keeps me mindful of my grazing. My main problem right now isn’t getting the scale moving as much as my concern about my body composition.

@anne_l I have an impedance scale at home and use the inbody at the gym. I thought the inbody would be more accurate than my scale but who knows. I am adding weight, I fact in all my strength tests today I went up!

@liz869802 Also I was always taught one pound loss =3500 calorie deficit, not 7000. Am I mistaken?

@anne_l My weight was pretty close to the same though the Dexa was last July. I think I’m losing muscle because I’ve been doing monthly inbody scans, which while not nearly as accurate as a Dexa, is accessible and I have unlimited scans available. It has indicated a muscle mass decrease. When...

@sanj79 It wasn’t me the OP who objected to your comment. I go to a gym that has egym machines. They are basically the usual weight machines but they are automated to give you a strength test on each machine then set a weight and reps for you automatically each time you scan your bracelet. I do...

@anne_l Im definitely losing some muscle mass but im not sure what to do about it. My average from my start date of 3/11 is 1.6 pounds per week but my current rate is 1.1 pounds per week. I’m trying to max my protein with a goal of 100g but my calorie intake is low so it’s not easy. I eat a ton...

@anne_l Im 5’6 and 148. The 40% was from a Dexa scan almost a year ago and I was 15 pounds heavier. The 36% is from and inbody

@anne_l These could all be possible. Right now because I’m new at weights I’m just doing the machines but it’s a pretty structured, automated program with regular strength tests and alternates adaptive, negative and “explonic” every two weeks. I’m not sure what to do about the deficit because...

I have been dieting with a calorie deficit for a few months now. I jog/walk 3-4 miles every day and average over 10k steps daily for over 2 years now. I do weight training 3x weekly with egym weight machines using the muscle build format. It kicks my butt! I’m currently at BMI 24.3 so I’m not...

@ambassadorcjk Right that’s why I said I’m not menopausal, Im perimenopausal and still have periods like clockwork. My gynecologist doesn’t support HRT for peri because your hormones are still fluctuating during that time and any levels would just be a snapshot of that particular time

@ambassadorcjk I have regular periods

@ambassadorcjk Unfortunately I think I’m the oldest living female who isnt menopausal! I’m barely peri.
