I just bought a bowflex m3. Please give me a workout plan to finally lose 15lbs. Current weight 125lbs Height 5’3”

- Not for health benefits, but my appetite is pretty big. - I can cut on 2700, but it's not a lot. How do you calculate calories going by the above number? I don't want to mindlessly eat on eating days as it would be hard to know how many cals to drop when I plateau. Trust me, I've...

So I started lifting in February 2020. Just started because someone asked me how much I could bench and I had no idea. I had been working out with dumbells for about 2 years off and on before that. So bought a barbell and some weights. Last year I focused on gaining strength. This year I want to...

Im sitting around 7% bodyfat @ 5'8 161-163lbs. The competition is in 3.5 weeks, I planned on starting carb cycling this saturday (3 weeks out) I was wondering if I could get your opinions on my macros and if they are okay or if I should change? I planned on doing 3 low days and 1 high day and...

Hi All, I've been contemplating the keto diet for weight loss and was wondering what thoughts are on this...I'm 5'10 177lbs 34 years old. With my commute and FT job, I'm out from 7:45AM-6:30PM so that is one of the reasons I am considering this diet. My job is auto sales so I at least get a good...

hi can a skinny person with high body fat and low muscle mass still build muscle when in a calorie deficit? below are my details that I got from a DEXA scan Total fat mass: 16.4kg Total lean mass: 43.3kg Total body fat percentage: 26.5% Current activity level: Moderate

Given people of the same height and weight and similar lifestyle. Can one person have 1000 calories more in BMR/TDEE than another for example? Or do they only vary by few hundreds or so?

How do you guys track weight loss? Right now im weighting myself 4 times a week in the morning, then takes the average of those days, would this be an okey way to get an estimate at where im going? Also is there any need to care about day to day loses as long average weight is dropping?

At the beginning of 2020, shortly after my 40th birthday I realized I had to change my body. Up until a few years earlier I'd kept fit by running long distance, I had ran a couple of marathons as well. However, I developed quite a severe ankle injury, which I still have problems with to this...

The advice I see here seems to strongly sway towards eating a caloric deficit but not so much for eating healthier. For me eating healthier makes me eat less and keeps me fuller for longer plus its good for your since it has all those nutrients your body needs. So why isn't health eating...

Good afternoon forums. I've been bodybuilding for over a decade now but I still seem to struggle to get down into the single digits, in fact I've probably only been that low once in my early twenties. The main problem I seem to face is increased anxiety and panic attacks when I'm deep into my...

First off: I am not a bodybuilder nor do I actively work out. I do some cardio every day because I drive about 15km on my bicycle every day but yea, not working out as in lifting. What I am here for is to ask whether what I plan to do is good for losing some weight. I figured that this would...

Hey guys, Ive been trying to lose 30 pounds. I started fasting 2 months ago and went from 230lbs to 214lbs with no exercising. A month ago from now, I’ve been strength training. Pretty much to make sure I maintain some muscle. The only fat I have to lose now is my gut. I know it’s the last thing to...

I know this may sound dumb, but I always feel like when I lose all the weight and I am healthy, that I'll just be happier. I'm not sure how exactly but I just won't feel as bad. Like somehow the chemicals in my body will balance out so that I won't be as depressed, or things won't affect me as...

Got my DEXA scan and it is not pretty I am 5'7" and 290 lbs and my lean mass is only 139 pounds. DEXA scan says my RMR is 1701 calories a day. Would lifting heavy 4 days a week and eating roughly 1600 calories a day be reasonable for good weight loss ?

Wanted to post and see what everyone thought, I’m totally new to everything so don’t be too harsh. 46 years old, 6’3” started out 279 and done 5 lbs the first month. Lift 2 days a week and cardio 3 days. Try to count macros on the Macros app (2400 calories). First month seems like a good change in...
