Hi! :raising_hand_woman:t2:
New around here.
I’ve been lifting since 2018. Went from being nervous to throw a bar around to pushing my PR like a boss.
Over the last year, granted COVID did a dent I haven’t been able to get the same results.
I’ve been an ETP member since 2019, on and off over 2020 b/c the world was on lockdown.
At my best I was 190 and had great definition. Incredible energy and stamina.
Zero supplements except some pre and BCAA post.
Here I sit now. Disgusted with myself and my body for not giving me the results I want. Not looking for magic. I know the work this takes.
Even at my heaviest I’ve never been THIS heavy. 234 → 224 since January. My nutrition is on point, barely allow myself a cheat. Workouts are steady, I lift 3-4 times a week. Added walking 3-4 miles a few days a week in the beginning of March. Still stuck here. And like I mean stuck! ETP program coach says back off lifting, yeah that’s not gonna happen it’s my sanity but I did dumb down for March and do low weights and focus on form and sets.
Over the last year I have been loosing my hair, gaining weight, ridiculous body aches.
Docs tell me some of this is fibromyalgia (aka an excuse for people if you ask me).
Trying to figure out what to do to get over this stall and get my muscle definition to show again under all this fat.
So yea. Throw some comments? Experiences? Ideas?
I’ve been pushing my doc to pull some thyroid, hormone and food sensitivity labs (inflammation maybe?) but it is like pulling teeth! One doc referral to the next it’s 4 months in to this ask and I have yet to get these labs besides the ones they did to tell me I have this fibromyalgia crap and offer me meds for it which I declined.
Thanks. Happy to be here. :facepunch:t3:
