@laiju1989 There are tasty protein bars on the market now, we’ve come a long way from the disgusting Powerbar bricks from the 1990’s. I’ve improved my health by using protein bars to satisfy my sweet tooth instead of candy bars. Lately I’ve been getting Fulfil, Barebells, and Quest Heros. But...

@ilovegod123 I’m lactose intolerant so my dairy intake is generally just a cup of yogurt and sometimes a protein bar since those don’t mess me up. You can easily get dairy free versions of both of those, though. My protein shakes are pea, quinoa, and/or hemp protein mixed with unsweetened...

@oliver23 Definitely, over half of my protein comes from protein shakes or bars because I just don’t like eating many high protein foods.

@samuelperla Get a tape measure or calipers and calculate your body fat %. Then make your decisions from there.

@simple_man I wanted to look like that and I had to go through 4 PTs before I found one who would help me even try to bulk as a 20 year old woman in the 2010s. I kept getting “oh no honey, you don’t EVER want to use dumbbells heavier than 10 pounds or you’ll hurt yourself.” Lady, I work in a...

@seoravi10 I have had 3 male gynos and ALL OF THEM (plus 2 other male doctors) have made disgusting unsolicited comments about either my body or my sex life. One of them assaulted me. I’ll spare you the details because they’d need a trigger warning, but it was definitely not “well maybe he had a...

@mayz I’m the same height and 5 pounds more than you and just bought size 6 jeans- I was BAFFLED when the 8s were too big. I used to wear a 6 from the same brand when I was like 120 pounds (like 15 years ago)! No way are these actually the same size I wore back then.

@allroads You’re the one paying him, it’s okay to say that you want to ease up a little bit if you’re feeling like it’s too intense. Any decent trainer will understand that you won’t stick with a program that makes you feel miserable, and that you don’t have to nearly make yourself vomit in...

@johnscalera Long COVID caused me to escape my multi-year weight loss plateau because everything tasted like metal for months. Unfortunately my body decided to consume my glutes as nourishment first. I went from having a pair of propane tanks back there to looking like a guy who sells propane...

@dawn16 I came here to suggest rowing, too.

@ronaldjose180 I’ve only done this using light enough weights that I was able to hold both in one arm (one in my hand, the other one held against my body with my elbow/forearm) when I needed to adjust the treadmill settings.

@hopeisalive Absolutely. I spent 3 months straight sick this past winter. I’ve still got a lingering cough. The gains have not been gaining.

@theeverydaykingdom That does seem to be a LOT off your waist. Is it possible some of it was bloating/water weight before? I’m your same height, pretty muscular under my pudge, and lost 4” off my waist going from 155lb to 140lb. Took me about 2 years but I wasn’t doing anywhere near the level...
