@namaoza Generally I go by this Health is a big concern for me since I suffer from PCOS so I try to be as balance as possible as when it comes to diet and exercise. I like to do a variety of sports so one can say I’m actually a master of none. I do enjoy Muay Thai, pole dance and lifting. My...

@christseekingstudent Me too! After doing Muay Thai for years and have competed before. It has become my active rest day. My body has become so accustomed to it that it’s not tiring anymore.

@markedbychrist Oh yes definitely. I think the years of Muay Thai and lifting developed a strong core which was why I didn't have any backaches then. I recovered extremely well physically. However my mental health was another thing. I had PPA. However, when I went back to working out again, my...

@lapinot I remember you because you are a pole dancer and you mentioned before you prefer to be at this weight and petite because it’s easier on pole. I believe so for us petites that certain moves on the pole like those that involves deadlifts are easier on smaller sized people. I can...

@woollybear I mean you said so yourself. You didn’t exercise for 2 weeks and saw your belly got super flat. Most probably you lost the pounds as well. You just can’t suddenly lose that much weight or body fat in that short amount of time. It seems like those are benign weight caused by either...

@markedbychrist Im also 4ft11 and I lifted heavy and did Muay Thai throughout my pregnancy. Except for the third trimester I drop Muay Thai because belly was in the way of kicking. However I did continue lifting. Me at 35 weeks lifting heavy. I'm not a powerlifter, I lift just for fitness and...

@jessica50332 I had the same feeling before. Sometimes it’s not really aesthetics but rather if you have been lifting for a long time somehow your body has peaked. And when something remains status quo for some time, naturally you will start nitpicking at it. That said it will remain the same...

@prayhouse I mean the obvious answer is if you have been doing that much cycling. Chances are your legs are gonna be big. Cyclists have pretty big thighs. My body image was the worse at my lowest weight. At my lowest weight I weigh around 92lbs and my upper body was super skinny and I had no...

@samuelpautu I do pole dance, aerial hammock, Muay Thai and lifting. Prior to pole dance and hammock I was just doing Muay Thai and lifting. To make thing easier for us(my husband also lifts) we own a home gym and I actually have a home pole as well for practice. Right now lifting weights is...

@earthangelone 120lbs sounds good for 5’1. The last 10lbs is generally the most difficult to lose when you are already at a healthy weight. There’s no need to make any drastic changes. Just throw in a daily walk as your cardio and that should be sufficient.

@walton The answer wasn't directed at you. It was directed at the other person. The stats, timing don't add up to gaining a ton of muscle. You can lean out, make your muscles more visible or tone as you want to call it. But you don't just gain a lot of muscle in a short time especially on a...

@michaelo I exercise everyday! Monday, Wednesday, Fri- Lift. I followed Thinner leaner stronger 3 day split. Normally it takes me 1.5 hours max. I will also do pull ups on these days as well on top of the program. Having a home gym makes things a lot easier. Tues: Pole dance for 2 hours...

@keai95 Because it's not possible to put on a "ton" of muscle especially when you have been working out from only last year. Women in general can only put on 10lbs of muscle in a year and that is already a good estimate provided you aren't in a calorie deficit and am having good nutrition and...

@keai95 Women can realistically only gain 10lbs of muscle per year if they are newbie lifters. That's the best amount with serious lifting. It's gets even harder to put on muscle every year. Probably at best 0.1-0.3lbs per month after the second year. And this is done without a calorie deficit...

@wt15 I saw your post and you did right. Your doctor was right as well because I had a similar diagnosis. I was also 63kg when my doctor told me I can’t continue this way. It was making my PCOS worse and if I were to continue, there will be a high chance of me developing diabetes in future. Of...

@krae991 I’m not going to armchair diagnose but is it possible to see a medical professional or therapist? I feel like this binging of so much food like 5 slices of cake in one sitting, 4 bags of potato chips, 6 donuts is a bit off and might signal underlying problem elsewhere. It’s an unhealthy...

@_marc97 It will work but it's a slow process at least a year to get to the physique you desire. I have done recomp twice. The first time it took 2.5 years while the second time post partum it took about 8-12 months. I document it here Your stats are similar to mine. I'm currently 4ft11 108lbs...

@fadeaway It’s a case of doing too much at the same time. It’s no wonder you are overwhelmed especially if you are studying or working as well. It’s always good to slow down and do a reset. Generally you should always get your diet in check first. You get your diet down and are eating enough...

@prodigalson8523 I’m from Singapore and am Chinese. Over here we are a bit more “westernised” so the super skinny culture isn’t as deep so not as many women are super skinny. However we are still heavily influenced by k-pop so getting to very slim status is still a goal for many women including...

@mykey Which is why I suggested cardio. She is 4.5 months post partum that is almost 18 weeks post pregnancy. I don't see why some cardio like jogging is bad seeing she is already doing judo and walking 10k per day.
