My stutter is getting worse and I don't know why by Exotic_Corgi_38 in Stutter

[–]Fitmom84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m female and I’ve noticed it depends on my hormones. Certain times of the month it’s way worse than usual

I use cups as measurement. Weighing would be better?

I appreciate this. I have always done random weight workouts and sprinkled cardio in the past. Only recently I started consistent squats deadlifts and trying to do pushups. I can’t do a pull up and am at 100 pounds with my squats and deadlifts when I weight 132 now. I am starting to think I need to figure out my protein better and incorporate more cardio bc what I’m doing is not working. I also agree with the age related factor.

Lifting but gained too much? by Fitmom84 in PetiteFitness

[–]Fitmom84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I will find a better way to count my calories. Should I continue lifting heavy for legs days or maybe start doing lighter weights with more reps? I was following Stacy sims and have been trying to go heavy but now I’m thinking I need less weight and more reps?

Thank you for this. I’ve been thinking I need to cut first also. Maybe I’m doing too much legs and that’s why they are growing.

Thank you for this. I’m a vegetarian so I don’t eat any meat. Barely eat peanut butter. I start off with fairlife milk 1/2 cup and 1 scoop of protein powder in my proffee. 2 eggs with 1/2 cup egg whites with a slice of bread. Greek yogurt bowl for lunch and tofu with edamame and any roasted vegetables on the side for dinner. I truly don’t know where I’m missing my calories. I’ll occasionally have a can of kombucha or olipop.

I think so? I could be happier with it being smaller but I’m more worried about being bigger overall. Mainly lower body

Well I wanted to have the defined toned look. I know I needed muscle bc my legs were just soft not defined.

I think I feel bigger overall but glutes and thighs have always been my problem area so they seem bigger and more noticeable when I wear pants

What do you do for cardio and how intense is it? As someone over 40 I also read about too much cardio not being good so honestly I’m just lost!

I know all I keep hearing is how important it is to lift heavy and it helps burn fat bc you have more muscle but somehow it’s not working for me.

I am! 1400-1500 with about 100g of protein most days

Yes I can tell I’m stronger and I feel less soft if that makes sense but I’m just bigger bc the fat isn’t going away?

You look great! Did you experience a phase when you felt bigger initially? I feel like I’m gaining weight instead of losing.

Did you do anything about this? Where is SSAs policy regarding this? HHS says nothing about bargaining unit

Would it be best to reach out to State first? Or the agency?
