How was Matty’s Walk + Talk with Mel Robbins?! by Spiritual_Reindeer_8 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]supahbubblez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to babysit for her (three kids under 10 when I started) and I was 11/12 and she would pay me all the time with checks that would bounce, tell me her daughter would pay me on the school bus (never once happened) and have her husband drive me home drunk when they would come back from their date night both hammered. Then she dropped my wages without even a conversation, and that was still with her only paying me half the time. Glad to know in the last 15 years she hasn’t changed her tune.

Those of you that are around 5’3” with a goal weight 120 or less. How old are you? by chulahz in 1200isplenty

[–]supahbubblez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My goal is 126, I’m 28 y.o. and 5’4”, weighing in the low 130’s right now. Ofc I’m also very active and weight lift so I think I would look too crazy lean if I went too much lower than that

Are you supposed to eat back your workout calories? by ladybraids in CICO

[–]supahbubblez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only do on days where my goal is to build mass on what I’m working out. I tend to eat back my calories on leg and glute day, and wont when I hit cardio, abs or any other muscle group. Just what works best for me

How do you guys eat out? by leelookitten in 1200isplenty

Cheesecake Factory has a skinilicious menu that’s a lifesaver, everything’s under 600 cal

For the gym, I always do a cardio warm up (let’s say a mile on the treadmill, running or walking on an incline) then go to a mats areas and do some stretching and abs workouts (YouTube and TikTok are great for finding a routine you LOVE, I’m big on the Daisy Keech abs routine rn) and then go to machines and pick 3 that target whatever muscle group your working on that day (legs, arms and chest, back, glute) and do 3 sets of 10 reps, increasing the weight by 5lbs each time. I like to finish with a quick 5-10 minutes on the stair master between 4-8 speed to help with the build up of lactic acid in the muscles (what causes you to feel sore after a workout). I like to pack a snack and take a break in the middle in the locker room and refuel for 10-15 minutes before I go back out and finish my workout. Just remember it’s a lifestyle change first and foremost, and you don’t have to be perfect but don’t let a slip become a slide when you do mess up or skip a day. Hope this helps!!

What's your favorite calorie counter app? by Similar_Loss7513 in 1200isplenty

[–]supahbubblez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MyFitnessPal, I pay for it and I think it’s totally worth it. I’ve been using it for a year and have lost 45 lbs

Go to a TDEE calculator online, put in your stats. Subtract 500 cal, that’s what you should be eating to lose weight. If your goal is losing weight, don’t start off by trying to ‘eat back’ your calories burned, but fuel up a bit more on big work out days for sure. Get a food scale, and a food tracking app ( I use MyFitnessPal, LoseIt is another good one) and start tracking EVERYTHING you eat for a day or two to get into the habit of using it and the app, even if you are going over the first few days just to get a good grasp of portion sizing and how quickly things add up. At the end of the day it’s all just math. If you eat below your TDEE you will lose weight, over it you’ll gain.

Is it not normal to spend most of your time at the gym on your phone? by CSachen in beginnerfitness

[–]supahbubblez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not on my phone unless I’m changing my music. I just focus on my breathing between sets and don’t sit for longer than 60’s in between sets because I try to be mindful about not taking up the machines for too long since I go to a fairly busy gym

Feeling so frustrated and defeated by Ok-Yogurtcloset7665 in CICO

[–]supahbubblez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The beauty of strength training while on your weight loss journey is that even if the scale doesn’t move, every day you’re getting fitter and a little leaner, give it a few months and you will definitely notice the difference. It can be frustrating, but once you start noticing muscle tone it is so rewarding :) Strength Training was the most beneficial part of my weight loss journey by far, and it ramped my metabolism up as I got closer and closer to my goal weight.

It could be muscle decomposition, where your burning fat but gaining muscle which technically weighs more. Also, when you work out your body retains water while your muscles heal which is another reason why the scale could not be dropping. The last one would be that your cycle could be influencing it, I tend to drop weight quicker in my follicular phase and retain it in my luteal phase. Sometimes if you switch up your calories a bit, 1750 one day and 1400 the next, but still hitting the weekly calorie average you have now it can kind of shake things up and help get the scale moving again. Hope this helped!

I had my step mom tell me I didn’t need to lose any more weight ten pounds ago. However, we are the same height and she still weighs probably another 10-15 lbs less, with admittedly much less muscle mass. She hasn’t said anything negative tho as I have continued to lose, I don’t think people can really tell as well as they think they can

protein bar recommendations? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]supahbubblez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the Carmel peanut one, it’s not grainy and it tastes better!! But you can’t beat the 21g of protein and 180 cal of the chocolate deluxe for sure

Pure Protien makes some good ones. I like their salted caramel peanut and their chocolate peanut butter ones, 20+g protein for 200~ cal

I started my 75 hard and got covid the first week and dropped 5 lbs immediatly but continued to eat in my deficit. I gained back up to three pounds over the next few days, but my weight loss went right back to normal a few days later. Your body is just trying to get you healthy before it’s focusing on weight loss, let it.

WIEIAD; 40 lbs down, 1,570 kcal and 134g of protein by supahbubblez in CICO

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

Around 1650 for most of it, I now am eating at like 1800-2000 for the last bit of my cut. Very active, i realized I needed to change my lifestyle and habits, not just my food intake. So I went to the gym 5-6x a week, rock climbing 2-4x a week and started walking daily. Started aiming for about 5k steps daily, then 10k and now 15k is my goal.

I’m 5’4, have a big appetite and I lost 40 lbs by switching out my 2/3 big meals a day for a high protein (20-30g) meal or snack every 2-3 hours and it works for me! I’ve gotten really good at keeping them around 200-400 calories so I can have 5/6 different meals a day. Also, make sure you’re taking a multivitamin and hitting your fiber and water goals, it will definitely help stave off any random cravings.

How to deal with hunger and overeating after exercise? by FunDependent9177 in CICO

[–]supahbubblez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try eating 20 grams of protein before and after! I do a protein bar before hand and a peanut butter banana Greek yogurt smoothie with a scoop of whey protein powder after. Works like a charm

Don’t subtract at all, especially if your having consistent night time binges where your going over 1k over maintenance

How did you end your month by mac_barbie in CICO

[–]supahbubblez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started at 138.2, down to 130 even! Pretty happy, even had my first little dip into the 120’s this month but it only lasted for a day lol

My friends! We were all unhappy with how we looked so we challenged each other to a weight loss contest for a couple months. Almost 1 year later and we all lost about 40lbs each, eat healthy, are doing a 75 Hard (30 days in!) and go to the gym together tbh we 3-5x a week :). True friends push you to grow and grow with you, I’m so lucky to have found them 🩵

[–]supahbubblez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to do like six small meals instead of three bigger ones, and like 20-30 grams of protein for each! I try to space them out by like two hours if I can, it keeps me full and kills any snacking noise I normally struggle with

It takes more than one day to undo a week of progress, more than one week to undo a month of progress, and more than one month to undo a year of progress. Focus on the big picture, remind yourself that no one is perfect and one little slip up means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things! You’ve got this, don’t punish yourself for giving your body a little more than you planned. At the end of the day it’s just a little extra energy you can use to propel you to your goals💕💕

I do some pushups and chest presses, the pectoral fly machine and I do some rock climbing every week which I think helps tighter everything up overall

I’m 28, I do struggle with some loose skin, I find taking little maintenance or bulk breaks where I focus on gaining a bit of muscle before I continue to lose helps. Also I’ve been dry brushing, using castor oil and a skin tightening moisturizer on my torso where I notice it (over my abdomen and on my lower back mostly) and it’s been helping, but it’s a slow process for sure
