Hey everyone, so I guess I just need some encouragement right now. I’ve been trying to intuitively eat so as not to be obsessive over food (I have a binging problem) and working out for the past 6 weeks. From September-November I was eating out a lot and eating junk not really focusing on what I...

Hi all! So for starters I am F/31/5'0" and currently 140lbs. I have been at 140 for....months. I have lost about 80lbs over the course of 2 years, however as of recently the scale does not budge and I wonder if my TDEE and my defecit is possibly too low for my activity levels. I work at Amazon...

I'm 52F and just started lifting. I have been attending a group strength class 3x p/ week for the past six weeks. Total beginner. Today I was doing overhead squats with a 35# bar 8x 4 sets. On the last set, I pushed myself to go faster, and I fell over on the last rep. I landed on a rubber...

Hello everyone! I would love some advice on how I would go about timing my workouts. Combatting tiredness. For context: I work two jobs: I lifeguard (I get my 20,000 steps here) in the morning at a pool 5:30am - 9:00am and reception at night 12:30pm - 9pm. (not counting the 3-hour travel times...

Hi all! I just starting strength training about 6 months ago after been pretty sedentary for a few years (thanks covid). I've been following a strength programme laid out by my gym - kind of a group personal training situation. It's 3 times a week and I have been fairly consistent. I've been...

I bought these pants from Target one time - they were on the clearance rack - and they are AMAZING. Super soft, good pockets, and they don't roll down my waist while I'm working out. My current batch of workout pants keep sliding down and I am always hitching the waist band back up. Alas, they...

Is this even possible? I would like to be more plant based and protein forward, but I don’t know how I’d get in 100g protein without meat and dairy. I don’t want to rely on protein powder because I’d really like to have all my calories as real food. Does anyone do this? Alternately, are there...

A year ago, I made the transition from a physically active job (constantly on the move, including walking 8-10+ miles), to a work from home sedentary desk job. It's been a huuuuuge adjustment to say the least. I also live in Canada and am currently dealing -20°C (-4°F) weather or colder...

Hey girls! I just wanted to start a conversation about how accurate the TDEE is calculated on apple watch? My move goal is 600 calories and I meet this everyday, if not I go over it. My workouts over the week are 4 lifts (2 upper and 2 lower), and I usually do 2 HIIT sprint sessions on the...

Hi there! I’m a female, 5’3 and 149lbs. I started around 155lbs in February when I started going to the gym again (got lazy and stopped for 4+ months). I have a pear body shape with a lot of fat in my thighs, hips, and some hip dips, so this is where most of my weight comes in. I lift 4-5x a...
