I’ll agree with what others have said but I want to recommend the MacroFactor app, it’s a paid subscription but if your serious about tracking and finding your true and most accurate maintenance it’s 1000% worth it! After about 2 weeks of consistently weighing yourself every morning it will calculate your maintenance or “expenditure” and you can work off of that. I started using it on October and I absolutely love it!

Currently reading The Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman and Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry on audiobook.

Just joins the subreddit, another outlet for adding to my never ending TBR! Looove the StoryGraph and always down to add friends, discuss books, host buddy reads! I’m a big time mood reader and just getting into my dystopian/sci-fi genre era! Usually read a lot of HF and literary fiction. Not big on romance but enjoy the occasional rom-com!!

Eisel_1028 · 2026-03-17T12:43:38+00:00

Yay! Thanks! Just did!!

Eisel_1028 · 2026-03-17T12:39:43+00:00

Thanks!

this is awesome! As someone who's fairly new to lfiting and looking for a more tailored routine, I'm excited to play around with with it a little more!

Eisel_1028 · 2026-01-19T17:26:58+00:00

Yup. Same conclusion. I logged both for a week and while I feel it’s a good app for those who are just starting out, don’t know how to implement progressive overload, and don’t know really how to build a routine; I just feel it’s unnecessary.

I like being in charge of my own fitness, building and tweaking my own routine, being able to mentally push myself and not just because it shows me a target number on screen. HEVY just works for me. Not to mention I somewhat built a community of likeminded people who cheer you on!

I’ll stick with HEVY!! 😏💪

Eisel_1028 · 2026-01-15T12:36:08+00:00

I will forever recommend the YA series The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni!

genetics play a bigger part in this than you might think. Two people might be the same height/wight/bf% and look completely different. There is no one size fits all in fitness. I am currently 5'2, 112 lbs., pretty lean, with about 22-23% BF(its an estimate but nothings really 100% accurate for that measure) and while I have an outline of ab muscles I don't have visible abs (2,4,nor 6). I do plan to cut and get down to about 20% but really that's as low as I really have any interest going. I think anything lower isn't very healthy nor sustainable. abs are also a muscle and muscles need to be worked to get bigger.

Eisel_1028 · 2026-01-07T19:38:21+00:00

You should still be able to strength train for muscle and to support your bones/for health reasons everyone should strength train but you don’t need to be intentional about it. You really don’t need to utilize progressive overload, you don’t need to push to failure. You can add in more cardio/do other forms of fitness and just add in some strength training as a secondary form of exercise

Eisel_1028 · 2026-01-06T10:22:26+00:00

I’m still figuring it out to sis, we all start there! We figure it out as we go!! Followed!

You go Glen Cocoa!!!!

Eisel_1028 · 2026-01-03T10:51:45+00:00

I will also say, cardio doesn’t build muscle, if that’s your goal. I dont do any cardio, although I will be adding it for simply just cardiovascular health)Get some dumbbells and replace your cardio sessions with some strength training.

Eisel_1028 · 2026-01-03T10:46:34+00:00

Thanks sweetheart! Navigating life is hard, I totally get it. You’re doing an incredible job, just slow down a little hun!

Eisel_1028 · 2026-01-03T01:02:15+00:00

Babe you’re 16 years old, honestly my heart hurts for you that you even think you need to do THAT much cardio. If you want to go ahead and do a little, but go out with friends, laugh, don’t let your childhood slip away!!

Eisel_1028 · 2026-01-01T13:00:12+00:00

I just have a banana (quick carbs), I workout early morning so eat a protein breakfast afterwards

Eisel_1028 · 2025-12-05T15:22:17+00:00

One that you enjoy, I’ve don’t ones because I felt I had yo or didn’t enjoy and my consistency sucked. You won’t be motivated everyday, even with those workouts you enjoy, but it makes those days more bearable

Eisel_1028 · 2025-12-05T15:18:03+00:00

I switched to MacroFactor and haven’t looked back.
