Need bench form help!

So I haven't really checked my bench form before outside of hand/arm placement and angle. We'll today I realized I'm arching like mad looking at videos of bench. I'm not doing it on purpose, I have my feet planted as best I can and my butt is not small. What can I do to flatten out more? Should I try planting my feet on the bench instead of the floor?

The last month and a half have been rough fitness wise, but we keep on chugging

Warmup routine or warmup sets?

Curious to know what everyone does, what they prefer, and why.

I think I tend to prefer warmup sets because they feel less time consuming than a separate warmup routine? Not sure if it's the better option though, just what I think I like better

I'm terribly lipstick blind apparently and need help figuring out which ones are flattering to my face. Here's my entire lipstick collection

I feel like when I do cool toned looks I'm told to do warm, then when I do warm I'm told to do cold. I believe my undertone is peachy, so is this just a side effect of that undertone?

I had posted a warm toned look (not this one) on a different sub and was told I looked like I had a cool toned complexion and to try cooler tones. So I did and posted this look on the left, but then was told it looked too cool and to try warmer tones?

It happens any time I post a distinctly cool or warm toned look people will give me conflicting feedback on my undertone. It's been a very long time since I'd actually looked into mine but at the time I was given peachy, which i understand to be neutral but leaning warm?

People who lost significant weight (20lbs+) and have kept it off for years, tell me your stories

I wanna hear from people who lost 20+ pounds and kept it off successfully for years. What did you do to lose the weight, how did you change your lifestyle after you lost the weight?

I think we've all heard the stats that most diets fail, and most people regain weight (plus some) but I just don't buy into that? I feel like it only really takes into account people who crash diet and don't actually make sustainable life changes. And like with most things, the people who were successful aren't the ones doing these studies, theyre just going about their business.

So I wanna hear more successful stories! I know myself personally I'm coming up on 2 years of maintaining a 40lb loss, and while I still have more to lose, but I didn't gain it all back in a year

Hearty breakfast for my least favorite work day

My homemade protein pancakes, sliced ham, ham and cheese omelet, and lite pancake syrup

Unhinged snack idea

I only boiled 1/2 cup of water and dissolved the gelatin in that, then used 1 1/2 cup of the Pepsi for the rest of the liquid then put it in the fridge. Firmed up like normal, and tastes pretty much like flat diet cherry Pepsi 😆

Got the idea seeing the new Dr. Pepper Jello at my local grocery store, but wanted one that wasn't 90cal a pop

Is this enough volume and right nutrition to continue to build muscle while losing weight/fat

Adjusting my program to have more big compound lifts on my leg days. I can only hit the gym 3 days a week. My job is sedentary, but I'm working on trying to shove in as many steps as I can manage working a desk job on those days and also steadily increasing cardio at the gym

Currently 5'3" 195lbs with a goal weight of 150lbs. Maintenance calories for my size and sedentary is 1800ish so I'm eating at a moderate deficit and am down 11lbs so far since the beginning of July.

Cardio is mostly stair master and I do mobility and ab work on my rest days.
