seeking advice

I am 5’4” 120 lb (2.5 years after having a child). I’m not really interested in any number on the scale as I know it wouldn’t be the full picture of health but I am trying to feel good in my clothes again. Just for reference though, I was 110 when I got pregnant2.5 years ago. I have previously...

I really need to strength train but I get so bored with it so quickly! E.g. I've tried to start Caroline Girvan's Fuel a few times now but I do 50% and get so incredibly bored that I stop and can't see myself doing it for 6+ weeks. Any mentality tips/tricks/other channels to try that might...

Hi, I am looking for advice for getting in shape after giving birth. I will be going in for a c-section sometime in the next couple of weeks, and plan on breastfeeding. I’ve been told not to focus on dieting or weight loss during the first six months as this could reduce milk production, but...

Hi I’m having a hard time staying at 1200 calories especially days when I exercise. I try not to eat back all my exercise calories but end up kind of binging when I get back from a workout. I usually try to an hour of exercise a day whether it be on the elliptical or running outside or some sort...

So I’ve seen this question asked before, and 110lbs seemed to be quite a popular answer. My question is, for the people whose goal is 110lbs - Have you weighed that before, and therefore that’s the reason you’re able to get back to that weight? How are you getting to that weight, and how are...

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...
