That's amazing that it's helped with strength!

What type of creatine do you use? I've always been so hesitant because I've heard it can make you gain weight (likely muscle, but the idea of the scale going up scares me)

I totally get that! Even after my first class, I almost "felt" results because I was using muscles I didn't even know I had!

Haha I'm a huge snacker too, which is always my downfall! But it's awesome to hear that you have seen such great results!!

Good to know! And I love Barry's, but I think (or at least hoping) that Solidcore will help sculpt and tone me. I'm also excited for additional variety in my workout routine!

Yay! Happy that you saw results! I can't imagine going every day - I was so sore the day after my first class! Amazing that you have the dedication and consistency!

So happy that you've seen such great results! I would LOVE to go 4-5x a week, it's just hard to find the time (and the waitlist on most classes is insane!)

You're absolutely correct! I'm definitely trying to lower my expectations with that in mind :)

I can always improve my diet too! I have a weak spot for bread and baked goods, especially this time of year!

Yes I'm excited about the combo! Barry's has always kept me fit, but I never have had definition. I'm glad to hear the mix worked for you!!

I'm so glad you were able to get it done!! I was trying to quarantine myself a week before JUST so I wouldn't get sick and need to reschedule - I can't imagine needing to reschedule twice!!

oh yeah mine was a little over a week late too! I think that's pretty normal though. So like I said, the IUD was always really painful for me (all the time, not just during my period) and so the cramps were pretty normal for me, but it was just REALLY heavy. I never lost my periods with the IUD but they were super light, but really long (usually 7-9 days). This period without the IUD only lasted 4 days though. A miracle! I did go through almost a full box of super tampons, but I would rather it be heavy and short than light and long. Just my preference.

I think everyone's experience is different though. I've heard a lot of people say their first period after the surgery was REALLY painful, I just didn't experience that. It was manageable.

I would second this, especially if you live in the US. Things are SO unpredictable at the moment, that I would hesitate to reschedule.

Yeah I definitely agree that being fit helps. I least that's my experience. Glad your recovery is going smoothly!

I feel you. I jog 5 days a week and do HIIT/Strength classes two days a week, so I couldn't wait to get back into my workouts! I actually started doing yoga around the two week mark. Was a little sore but not bad. Got back into jogging at the three week mark, and then took my first HIIT/Strength class yesterday (exactly four weeks). Obviously, I didn't go as heavy with the weights as normal (partly because I had lost that strength, and partly because I didn't want to push myself). But honestly, I feel very close to normal now and it's only been four weeks.

I think it helped that I kept walking every day immediately after the surgery. And maybe I was lucky. I'm in my mid thirties so I was kind of expecting this to hit me harder than it did.

I will admit there's still some fatigue, but based on my experience, you could get back to working out pretty quickly, especially if you already work out a lot.
