Looking to get back into shape and gain some strength. i’m looking for recommendations for a workout plan and calorie intake.

I plan on gaining mass/strength/muscle for the next 4 months. I’ll be in some sort of calorie surplus. then I plan on cutting for two months before a wedding.

I can do 5 to 6 days at the gym for about an hour a day.

What workout plans would you recommend and how many calories should I have during my surplus and deficit

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

Recently stopped taking Concerta (after taking it for almost 2 years at varying doses) because it started having some negative effects on my heart rate.

Anyone have any good Straterra experiences?

One of my best friends growing up just passed away. We lost contact with each other a year or two after graduating high school and I recently came to learn he was was battling cancer the past 5 years and ultimately succumbed to the illness. He hid it well from everyone and led a very private life during it all. To make matters worse, he had just turned 25. Seeing pictures of the condition he was in towards the end of his fight broke my heart. I wish I had known so I could’ve been there for him.

Almost 12 weeks. Still feeling sick in the evenings. Anyone? Please tell me this will end soon…

Whenever i have a big deadline, my body goes into a panic mode where my energy immediately goes to figuring out how I’ll get something done well and on time.
