    Yes! Strength 200% I've been in eating disorder recovery for almost 9 years. Once I decided I wanted to be strong, not "skinny" my entire outlook on fitness and body imaged changed. Now I'm 8.5 mo pregnant and approaching the next step in my fitness journey... being a strong and healthy mommy.

    10/10 every time I was caught staring I was admiring there strength, physique, form, etc.
    Yesterday, I was admiring this girl because of her strength and her physique then I noticed she kept pinching her back fat with a disgusted face. I wanted to go over there and compliment something to help brighten her day but I was too shy and scared to. Going to do it next time I notice something like this!

    The focus on strength has completely changed my outlook on the gym, nutrition, and my body shape. I'm 42 and am the strongest I've ever been and I feel great, the physique changes are just a side result, not the focus. Also, I keep a super basic spreadsheet on my google docs that shows my progress. I've gone from hip thrust of 90 lbs max to 170lbs!

    Just wanted to piggyback on tip #1 - Hormones!! I’m about to get my period. I feel puffy and sluggish. I had to talk myself into my workout and struggled through it. I actually cut it short because I was probably going to hurt myself.
    Seems to be at least one shitty session a month. - I then beat myself up because Im puffy and bloated and my boobs hurt. Vicious cycle 🤦🏻‍♀️

    I love how patient you are with the interruptions from the baby. I have 3 children and in the past remember feeling so frustrated when they would wake up while I was trying to train, you take it with so much grace congrats on that! Also congrats on not pushing too hard too soon, I feel I made that mistake particularly with my third and feel like I developed diastasis recti that may have healed had I not done abdominal work too soon. Anyway thanks for the video and congrats on your baby girl 😀

    I am SO happy you’re releasing a plant based protein 🤗 I’m currently 6 months postpartum and I found out the hard way that my consumption of dairy negatively impacts my little boys digestion via breast milk.
    I am loving the idea of the vanilla cinnamon swirl but after seeing your reaction to strawberry banana I am VERY intrigued.
    Love your work! Keep it up, momma!

    I am 55 years old and have followed you Meg for many years. I love your outlook on life and body image. Women have to deal with major body changes through out their life--babies, menstruation, peri-menopause, now for me post menopausal image changes. I love the Buff Reds drink mix--so refreshing. Thank you for openness and keep developing those products -I am loving them! and love you too :)

    Thank you for shift #2! I’m still trying to lose my post partum belly from 2 years ago and it’s been hard. I’m happy with everything else that I’ve seen change in the last 6 months of me going to the gym and changing my eating habits. But it’s just that stomach. My husband said to me it’s more important to be healthy and strong than your looks. And I love that you said it and he said to me because it’s something I’ve been struggling with.

    • @valerie4912
      @valerie4912 Před 2 lety

      Hang in there. It will eventually go away if you're at your pre-baby weight. I've had 3 babies. Stretch marks still there but the flab is gone.

    • @alicelopez901
      @alicelopez901 Před 2 lety +1

      Me too 😭 I lift weights and been noticing changes but my flabby gut is taking its sweet time. I also got abdominal separation which doesn't help. Slow but subtle, mommy life certainly delays the results I should've delivered before but all this is so encouraging, relatable, and I do feel stronger though 😁

    • @tiryaclearsong421
      @tiryaclearsong421 Před 2 lety +2

      I have endometriosis and my stomach is a personal pain point. It bloats several inches at random and never really looks "normal". I mostly fluctuate between looking okayish and looking 4-5 months pregnant. Meg's stomach at a month post-partum looks like me at my most normal. There isn't much I can do about it but letting go of the mental struggle is hard.

    I do need these videos. I badly sprained my ankle in June and then separated my AC in my right shoulder about a month ago. Throughout the summer I gained weight bc I couldn’t move very well. I really want to get back in the gym. But focusing on mental shifts are really helping me right now and hopefully when I am ready I can be ahead of where I was before.

Now, I'm currently doing a program that you helped me curate based on my personal fitness goals. I don't want as much time trying figure out what to do next. I was spending 2-3hrs Everytime I went to the gym, but most of it was just figuring out what to do. Now that I have a routine I'm already seeing results!

    I drink straight up pea protein, no flavour. I takes some getting used to but itś fine. I would like the better BCAA profile though...

    If there are any germans in the comment section looking for vegan protein powder, I highly recommend the 4k blend by profuel. Vanilla, lemon cheesecake, salted caramel and raspberry yoghurt are just so good, the best vegan protein I've found so far!
